Bad news first: The account I had set up for my check to be deposited in was closed out in June. So I need to wait for Wells-fucking-Fargo to sacrifice a virgin, summon a teller from the fourth circle of Hell, and send the funds back to my employer, so THEY can give me a paper check. Then I have to set up an account, but in the Midwest, banks open and close while you're at work, so I have one night a week to get this shit done. It is as maddening as snorting lines of Cthulhu's steaming shit. I mean, if the process is automated, why does it have to be on business days? Is their computer program unionized? Fuck's sake, it's no wonder banks have no friends.
And one of my co-workers (who may or may not be a supervisor) was riding my ass today. She does from time-to-time, but she's kind of a massive bitch. I held my tongue, and doubled down on converting her behavior and mannerisms into a villain for an upcoming project. I also learned that she makes heavy use of tattle-tails. I get the impression she was popular in high school. With the lunch-ladies, and the school nurse, and the principal. But not with the other kids. In any case, fuck her. Her character is going to die horribly. And her cry-baby toadie is going to get his too. SHOULD BE FUN.
However, with each rain cloud, comes new life. One of my scripts is all-but ready to be typed out in format. I'm damned excited to do it too. My character currently seem alright. Not enough to WOW me, but they never are until, like, the third draft. And some of them seem really good. By my own standards. In any case, that's the plan for tonight. And, as an added zest to this story, I got to immortalize two incompetent douchebags from real life as two incompetent douchebags on screen! They say to write what you know, amirite?
My other script has all of the ingredients for a good movie there. They're just not coagulating on paper well enough for my liking. However, I DID prioritize this one, as it's the closest to being ready to type, and I got to get my fix. So the other one will come when it comes. I'll work on it on days when this one is pulverizing my soul. And it's not like I can't work on it when I give this one down-time. So it's a win-win.
All-in-all, it seems like my marketing is being forced back due to misfortune and poor-clerical work. But I have no fear that it'll happen. Probably THIS weekend.
So, looks like I'm going to type and keep my head down until then.
