Scribble@Work

A while back, my girlfriend bought for me a moleskin pad for my back pocket, so I don't have to carry flimsy, or awkward size pads of paper for my random thoughts to be jot down upon. About two months ago, I put on a pair of jeans and unfortunately, the pad didn't fit well into the back pocket, and I feared it would fall out, so for the first time in almost a year, I was without paper at my disposal. After that day, I more and more frequently chose not to pocket my paper.

In the past two weeks, probably three days have I had my pad with me. I need to bring my pad back. I need the paper. I forget too many thoughts.

Today for example, I was walking through the building I work in and something came to me out of nowhere. I went to reach for my paper, but it wasn't there. I continued about my business until a short while later I had paper near me and I wanted to write down my idea, but I had already forgotten it. This happens very often, and it's quite annoying.

Most annoying about it is, with so little time to get any quality writing done, without even these small ideas being written down, I feel like I'm wasting my thoughts.

I compiled a short video and put it up on youtube last night. For my work, I do a lot now. I do warehouse picking, packing, receiving, and other small stuff, as well as Filing for the office, video editing, and a small bit of work with broadcasting. Video editing, though, is completely off my normal hours, and I get paid special for that. Because I am working with video editors, DVD Rippers and raw Music files all the time now and practically for free, I don't feel bad taking time to play with the programs for myself. The aforementioned video is just stuff I've done and messed up on. The first part you see in it, I was trying to record something and didn't realize that I hit the wrong button on my remote so when I went to hit the button again to turn the recording off, I actually turned the recording on. The rest are pretty obvious what went wrong. ONE of them is staged. Can you tell which?
