Mr Crankypants

A number of my readers have recently pointed out to me that I seem to be somewhat "crotchety" lately, and I guess I am. I seem to walk around irrationally pissed off most of the day. I really am not sure why, but I suppose I could hazard a few guesses.

It's hotter than balls out again. And I will be working all day tommorrow in a shop with no AC.

One of my colleagues on the show I am designing in February seems hell bent on not supplying me with the drawings I need to do my work.

I have not been sleeping well, probably because of the heat.

I still have not recieved a contract for the show I am flying to California for in two weeks.

We are being hammered on to finish a project at my job. Normally fine except the manufacturer of the equipment we are installing has shipped everything late.

Have I mentioned it is hotter than balls out. No AC in my apartment either.

I am having trouble finding work for the Fall.

Newt Gingrich is considering a run for President in 2008.

There is no viable democratic candidate for 2008.

Once again, hotter than balls out.

Things I am actually happy about.

The show I am doing in September is really cool, and I love working with the woman directing it (and not just because she reads this blog).

I have a gig assisting D in January.

And, I think I may have found someone worth dropping my dating boycott for.*


*Although I am probably, as usual, misreading the signs.

Dear Klyph,

I really enjoy your blog, and I'm sorry August is finding you cranky. This is off the subject, and it probably won't cheer you up.

I apologize for sending a private message in a public forum, but currently I have no other means to contact you. I hope it's sufficiently cryptic.

During a brief phone conversation we had about a year ago (I apologize for being drunk at the time), you remarked about a mutual acquaintance of ours that you would "trust her with your life, but never with your heart."

I just wanted to say it was an excellent observation on both counts.


Sincerely,

Another nice guy

You live in a studio apt, yes? Go to Sears and drop $100 on a window a/c unit. At least then you can sleep...
