Jun. 19th, 2009 10:03 pmWas supposed to work tonight but ended up being told not to go as the venue was smaller than planned and a lot of gear is being left in the van.
Major shit going down at the office, the office manager quit and it looks like the senior doctor (the one who's a major asshat) is quitting too. Nice, might actually enjoy work and help people when he's gone. Asshat actually yelled at a patient today, told them they were 'ruining his practice' and to get out. So the mother left her two year old son in the car alone for an hour while she had her eye exam. There's a whole lot more involved, but Child Protective Services is getting involved and I don't want to get involved with that. I saw nothing and know nothing.
In better news, finally watched the Anvil movie. OMG, it is so friggin' true to life. If you ever want to see what life is really like, check that one out. Never mind all the idealistic Cameron Crowe stuff or the dry humour of Strange Fruit - this is the real deal. Bad food, missed trains, fistfights with club owners, the drudgery of daily life, it's all there. Their old roadie Teabag filmed it and produced it and has given them a second wind. Heard they're opening for AC/DC on a few dates and are gonna be at Rocklahoma as well. Thirty years on getting back a bit of what they started is nice to see. They certainly paid their dues, even if I want to track down Reiner's sister and punch her. You have to find a copy of it. The release was very limited and it's not out in a lot of outlets, but there is a copy floating around on Usenet if you're savvy like that.
And speaking of douchebags I'd like to punch, apparently someone has the same opinion as I do about Ash Newell. He always stuck me as being a bit too fannish and retarded. Nice to know I'm in some company for a change. 'Cut rate' is a great tag. :)
Heading out for a quick trip to Baltimore tomorrow, early. Probably a good thing I got the night off. Should really sleep, but there's so much to do.
