Wednesday – August 15th – 2007

I woke up with a bare stomached but not for long. Work was really busy. To top it all off the screaming supervisor went off on me again. This is really getting old fast. These yelling episodes are really getting under my skin. I should not find myself at work or anywhere being treated like this. But I’m not going to say anything because I just know that if I say something it would somehow backfire and I would be the one to get burned. It’s pretty unfair bit that’s the way it is. I will simply continue to feel miserable. As I said, the work day was very busy but it was also very productive. Except for when I got called into my bosses office for an emergency meeting. This was a meeting that came with drop what you are doing and come here now. Of course I was on the far end of a million square foot building so I had the honor of jogging to his office. Yeah, that made my ankle feel great. Finally 3:45 came around and I was off to Destiny Tattoo. Traffic was terrible but I did make it there on time. Jerry the tattoo artist came out and said “are you here on the wrong day”? I said “no” and he was fine. Typical Jerry. As Jerry was finishing up my stencil somebody asked Jerry what he was going to be working on. Jerry told the guy that he was going to tattoo the word pride on me. The other guy said “as in White? That’s cool”. I was mortified. I never thought that putting this word on me could even remotely represent that to some people. I just don’t think like that. For a moment I almost said no to the tattoo. Luckily Jerry jumped in and told the guy no. Quickly I got myself together and we got busy on the tattoo. I must say that it hurt but it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. Except for the I. The letter I had a hell of a bite. The tattoo took about 2 ½ hours to complete. It’s big, it’s bold and it holds a lot of meaning for me. It came out great and I do love it. I got home and barb had the laundry going and dinner brewing. She also made some tattoo goo so I was prepared for the healing. barb was pretty taken back by the tattoo too. Once I was done with dinner we got to chill out. Granted I was hurting a lot. We watched a show on a women’s prison and a National Geographic show on body modification. It was a good night. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep. I was hurting, I had bad dreams and I got a work call at 1:30 in the morning. Oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.
