Federal Dickey Administration

So the FDA finally showed up today for the big inspection that everyone has been dreading for months and months, and I didnt even know about until I was asked at a company party during a trivia game. And my attitude remains pretty much the same. I have done a lot of work since then, preparing for their arrival, but am in no way intimidated by the fact that they are here, like most everyone else. For me, this inspection week is going to be a slight break. There wont be too much for me to do...at least not at this moment. Rumor has it that the FDA can go ahead and ask us to execute studies immediately that would make some work for me...but time will tell.

On a different topic, I just got done playing my set at Downtown Manhattans, and it was alright. The funny part was that I forgot that I had given Corey the battery to my guitar last week, and didnt replace it. This resulted in the first two songs being played without any sound coming from my guitar over the PA. Hilarious.

I also noticed how annoying it must be for Corey and JP, and other musicians for that matter, to deal with fans. Everyone wants to be your friend if you are a "rock star" or any sort of star. Even if its a local thing. I mean, even I have noticed how people are so much more interested in myself since I started playing. And its very slight for me...I cant imagine what its like for Corey and them guys. Or even worse, for more famous people. It must suck diddly-uck...

Opportunities

Well its Monday, so that means I should probably pick up my guitar and see if I still know how to play it considering I havent since last monday. This could make for an interesting performance tonight. But either way, Dwight will laugh...So its all good.

So I talked to my old workin' buddy J-RO (Jon Roppel) who recently went to work for a seperate Validation company known as O'Brien and Geere. He got some sort of management position and when he left, told me how much he wants to convince them to let me come work for him. Which I immediately told him would definitely be an option.

So he came to see me today, cause his firm (or whatever you want to call it) got hired for some job on the Bristol Site doing Validation for building 73A, which honestly, I never even heard of...But he mentioned how he has been pushing really hard to convince them to let him hire someone, and he is even pushing for it to be a permanent position, rather then something temporary. He seemed optimistic. I of course, am not going to get my hopes up too much, but you know, I sent him a copy of my resume, and told him I was definitely interested. So I will weigh my options when the time comes I suppose.

The job he mentioned was located in Puerto Rico, which means I could convince Sparky to come live with me for awhile and be my interpreter so I dont end up eating Veggie Tacos...That would be hell. Oh and so I can find out where to get the best drugs. I love Drugs.

But like I said, we will see when the time comes.
