meeting

i've a business meeting today.

no pay but that's where i may negotiate from. take a cut off book sales, maybe. who knows, maybe i'll be famous like a certain 'jimi' some day.

('jimi' is not some funky name that goes alone the lines of 'dimitri' - it's the direct hanyu pinyin to the chinese characters that illustrator uses - which literally means 'a few grains of rice' in chinese)


so.. here's hoping i will make it big in this area. illustrate, teach, photograph. aye, this be my dream life. no sitting in an office banging out numbers on specific lines on the computer, in an excel spreadsheet. numbers. bah.

that is SO not my kinda life. i hate the idea that i've to sit in an office day after day, on the swivel chair with wheels and stare at the computer screen for hours on end. if i were to do that, i'd better be looking at graphics and pictures and not-so-meaningful meaningful words.

or playing games, for that matter. i realise that asses and thighs get big for the ladies and for men... well, they get bigger stomachs.


but as i said, no numbers. especially if they're 'meaningful enough' to get me into trouble.

and think, weekends are spent recovering from numerical fatigue or job fatigue, whatever you want to call it, only to dread the coming of sunday evening, when you have to think about sleeping early and return to the daily grind the next day for the next five days.

to all of those who are in that kinda line, here's hoping you like what you do, truly. hope that doesn't take up too much of the part and parcel of work that you're undertaking for a long time to come. and here's hoping that i won't be in that kinda position, as well.
