So after reading my last post i have come to a conclusion. I am an idiot. I can't spell or write to save my life. Whatever.
So now I've been at this job for a month. My dissatisfaction with it comes and goes. I was correct on the grooming part. I've had my first of 3 interviews for management. a pay raise will be nice.
I fired johnny (posters dude). he never emailed me or texted me or anything. i even gave him an extra week on top of what i posted 2 weeks ago and nothing. i feel bad cause we're friends but i need to get my stuff done. Well, i guess alls fair in love and war...and...business? sure. Anyway, i've got a new guy. I sent him johnny's drafts today and i'm trying to set up a meeting with him.
Antonio sent me a clip of the muzzle flash of a gun shot and it looks pretty good. at least that's moving forward.
Grady texts me once every 3 days or so saying he's worried about the movie. I just can't seem to be able to find any time to work on it. I don't think i've been in the lab in the last two weeks. Especially with all these weddings and my job. I've been to 3 weddings in the last 6 weeks.
I'm anxious to go to part time to get back to working hardcore on MH. I'm going to try to talk to molly tomorrow about some sort of time table. I'm also a little nervous cause i can only use the lab through the summer, and summer only has 7 weeks left :(. I have a few other resources (friends with similar setups) that I'm going to look into about working on the movie if it goes past summer.

The Bow Tie
The worst part of my job is this awful bright blue bow tie i have to wear. i think however, that the company is grooming me for a promotion so i wont have to wear the bow tie for too much longer.
It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since my last post. When i got home I was officially served papers and the process had begun. my old credit cards were sueing me. I say were because i was able to settle with them outside of court but i had to borrow money from may father in law. So now i'm working at my job full time trying to pay off my father in law off. Not much has been done on the movie. I finished syncing a few actors and have moved onto others, i'm still trying to get Kristin Kelley to come in and do her 45 min of ADR, I met with Antonio Chang about doing the special effects (gun shots, camera interfaces, etc. That's about all that has gone on in the last 2 weeks. I've spent all my days off at the lab working on synching but it's slow.
I have two goals i'm working towards right now at my job in order for me to go to part time and start working on the movie a lot more. My first goal is to pay my father in law off. It's only $2000 so working full time i should be able to pay that off pretty quick. Molly and I are trying to live cheeply too. My other goal is to get promoted. I'll get promoted, pay off my father in law, then go part time at work to really kick it in gear for the movie.
Oh, and Johnny has until Wednesday to finish the posters. We'll see what happens. I sent him an email saying that 3 months is ridiculous for this kind of thing and that if he doesn't kick it in gear i might have to find someone else. so we agreed on this Wednesday for his final drafts and then i know i'll have notes and he'll then have 3 days to get the notes taken care of. So if this happens then we should have are art for the website by Sunday. no promises though. you know how this goes.
Another decision I've made is to stop giving a time table for the completion of the movie. I'm just going to work on it. I'll tell people when i hope to finish it but i'm going to stop saying things like we "should" or "will" have it done by "specific date", right now cause of the job stuff i hope by the end of july. i HOPE.
Still nothing on the IMDB status. no rejection, but no approval either.
