I have exams at the moment and no job so... bof!

Well I stopped by my job to get my schedule for the week and they only put me down for 2 days!!! If this keeps up I'm gonna have to move on to greener pastures. The main man wasn't there today so I'll have to emphasise my discontent with his scheduling abilities on Thursday when I go back...

Lately at work we've found out something interesting.

In the US A&W has a hotline of sorts for people to call about any complaints they have with their food orders and such. Only through some kind of mistake the number seems to direct calls to our restaurant.

 

It make it somewhat odd since the US and Canadian A&W chains are owned by diffrient companies.

On days while I was working so far we've gotten two calls from some place in Pensilvania and another from... Iowa I think. Started with an "I" cant remember for sure which State it was.

 

Caller: Hi I'd like to complain about my order. It was cold as soon as I went to eat it.

Us: And you're where sir?

Caller: Southern Pensilvania.

Us: ....Uh ...That's a six hour drive from here or more...

No wonder it was cold!

oooh ooooh!

 

I have a job!

 

its called highschool.. and being a lazy video game/ music junkie!

I need to go for a walk around town tomorrow to try and find a job. I'm thinking about going for a bartender position.

Make sure you choose the bar well then.

My job is making me po'd. I had 2 days last week, and just one day this week. I complained to the manager yesterday, and he's like, "uhhh, the schedule got erased and the other manager tried to re-do it, but messed up". If I dont get my 5 days back next week, they shall feel my wrath!!!!!

My job sucks!

 

I clean Wal~mart at night

 

Man I don't know what some people do when they use the....anyway, I don't think I should get into that!

I have a perspective job as a kayaking tour guide for Space Coast Kayaking... So hah.

@Tofu- That's old news you have already mentioned. You're boring me by repeating yourself.

 

@Turtle- I feel your pain. I used to work at Walmart in the cash office before I went back to school up here. But the others used to tell me stories that were totally disgusting.

Did I? Oh... My bad. Sorry- sleep has become something of a rare commodity, lately... College is going to be fun.

Well, today at work I was asked by a member of marketing to scan some slides of some Slow Loris's. High profile image sale apparently. No problemo! I is Jahled! Another day at work for conservation! Any specifications for the image? I obviously asked. 'In scale, and including a human finger,' was marketing department's reply. Amazingly, that was compatible with what I unearthed in our collection, of a very newly born Slow Loris clinging on to one of our keeper's hands. Like ace! Bit of of very high-res scanning later and an hour or two cleaning up in Photoshop on account of how 'scratchy' the slides were, I forwarded five multi-meg jpg's to marketing for sale. 'who's the client btw?' I threw in with the email.

 

'National Geographic Magazine.' Was the answer.

 

like woooooooooo!

 

I've got a subscription for the next eleven months as well, so I guess I stand a good chance of seeing my work in print..

 

/all woo'ed out!

Do we get a "sneak peak" of said pic J? Any idea what issue it will be in? That way I know when my NG issue arrives, to tear into it (not literally of course )

 

Oh, and will you get "credit" for said pic? Congrats!!

I've got access to my work 'inbox' at home via Outlook Web Access but not apparently my 'sent box' inwhich the said images were forwarded. I saved them all at 'maximum' obviously given the client though, so some pretty hefty file sizes to host in order to show you you. I'll host something on Monday slightly compressed when back in the office..

That´s very good news, Jahled. Congrats!

I'll have to snag a copy of National Geographic to see your pictures, Jahled! Congradulations- now every nature magazine will be fighting over your work and 1337ness!

Great stuff J!

And I got hired for some 3d job today So i am happy.

Congrats J! At this rate, maybe you will gain world-wide attention as the premere nature photo-man, then you will host your own show "J's Wild World of Mammals" and eventually you will be rich enough to fly everyone to London for the 1st Total SWR Meeting!!!

... and he may catching with alligators and wears a safari-dress all the time.

Congrats J man! That's some major wooooooooo-ness! *wish i had a gif to go with that ... maybe later *

Here's a slightly smaller sample of what I was working on:

 

Click for smallerized original mess

 

At this size it's tricky to see most of the 'dust and scratches' I had to remove. I won't be credited for the image (Mac Operators never are) having not taken the original photographs, but still..

Great pic J! Darn, I thought you took the pic yourself Is that your hand or somebody else's?

 

Do my old eyes deceive me or is that a mutant three handed specimen?

Cute little fella isn't he! We've got thousands of slides taken over the years here at the Zoological Society of London. Time has attacked most, so to generate money from image sales (all plowed back into world conservation, we are a non-profit organization) they generally land on my desk for some shopery with Photoshop since my manager saw the light and got CS2 on my advice. 'It will make us money,' I believe I said.

 

And now an image sale to National Geographic.

 

I'll be running the show next..
