Bro I am mad late writing this so I kinda forgot what I wanted to say lol. Plus I’ve been journaling my thoughts n shit because I can’t say everything on my mind. I still know what I want to say, but I kinda don’t. Bear with me big dawgs.
First off we are still working on the new collection (by we I mean me, I literally do everything lol). I had to find a new printer. My old one was good, but my new designs are to complicated/ too many colors. They swear up and down my transparent png files wont work. But I’ve used the same files to get stickers made and they came out perfect. So I put the png in photoshop, saved it as a svg file, and sent it to them so they could use it as a vector file, literally all I did. They email me back and say I must’ve used auto trace to remove the background because it was blurry around the edges. Why would I use auto trace on a transparent png? THERES ALREADY NO BACKGROUND. I think they were just trying to get some extra change out of me, “our graphic designer can fix it for a fee”. It’s ok I found a new printer that can do exactly what i want in Charlotte, so they kinda helped me out in a way lol.
Oh yea. Nirvana Warehouse sale on the way. Gotta get rid of the old stuff so we can bring out the new higher quality stuff.
I think I went out every weekend in March lol. I had a lot of fun, but going out to clubs and bars is tiring. Like I already work like a dog during the week, it kinda sucks to be drunk in a mosh pit at 2 o’clock in the morning tho lol. I might take a lil break until life gets back on track.
I love that I have free will. My job threatened to fire me if I didn’t reach production hours. They said if I didn’t reach production 3 times in a row or repetitively, I would be let go. They wrote me up for my six month review from October and January and that was my first strike, which is BS. After that meeting in January I was already on my 2nd strike.I met production in February. Didn’t reach it last month in March but in April, I made it. Lucky me I got to keep a job where they lie and gas light you, but it pays the bills. After the bonus in April EVERYONE is gonna quit, so I’m going to do the same. I found a welder/ mechanic job that pays more & teaches me a lot. My supervisor swears up and down he doesn’t care if you go to a job interview but if you leave early to go to one, he gets mad asf lol.
Nothing wrong with routine, but that job was starting to feel mundane. Like there’s nothing else that I can learn and they weren’t gonna pay me anymore so I was kind of just stuck. The only people that get praise around there are ass kissers and don’t kiss anyone’s ass. I want more for myself & my career but that place was the definition of “settling”.
I enjoy welding, but I don’t want to do it forever (hence Nirvana Prime). But it pays the bills. In the year I’ve been there we have lost 12 welders & 3 quit last month. So I was working the full 10 hrs I was there & got in trouble if I wasn’t. It wasn’t worth it & it was probably a sign that I didn’t belong there.
Everything happens for a reason so I really don’t stress anything anymore lol. I’m gonna keep on exercising my free will tho. Until next month.
Peace is hard to find. Nirvana Prime.
