As part of the restructuring it has fallen on the shoulders of HR people to ‘let us down easy’. Even in loosing a job youre not in love with kinda sucks. Im reminded of being the only loser to skip school on a skip day and then being bored to death cause no one else was around to enjoy the ditch day with. Whats worse is to have HR people try and sell you a bag of crap, only to find yourself in a position requiring you to thank them afterward. You’re firing me, How is that a ‘really good deal’? I’m all for making the best out of a bad situation but nothing is made better by pretending the a tragedy is really a blessing in disguise. I guess we can’t just call a spade a spade and move on.

Dear Spam bots, Please spam me with job opportunities and or other ways to get rich or die trying.

thank you, Sincerely

One of the best things about drawing on the train is over time you get to see familiar faces and get to know people in a removed sort of fashion. You get to see people in all there facets, in random order, only suing your memory to sort out where they are today.  So as it happens i had a second encounter with a fellow commuter, which was very redemptive.
i was sitting in a double seat with a woman and an elderly gentleman. The lady, well call her Fran, asked me if i was drawing. I said yes and showe her the ipad screen. She was excited about it and remarked to the elderly fellow, well call him Grumpy Gramps, that i was drawing and very talented. To which Grumpy Gramps, replied very dryly that he to draws, and as such he seemed less than impressed.
Fran: oh you draw on the computer too?
Grumpy Gramps: no i used pen and paper.
oh Gramps your really pulling the old timer on me here huh. These youg folks and their disrespect for tradition, I USE PAPER, and draw the way it should be done.
Fran: oh, well im sure youre very talented too. Im sitting with two talented artists.
How nice of Fran to placate Gramps by also allowing him to be talented. I think that warmed gramps up a bit, And he finally forced him self to actually look at what i was doing. I think to his surprise i wasnt drawing a stick figure or some sort of crude pornographic image.
Gramps: you gonna draw the belly (in a voice with NO tact in regards to train passenger  proximity )
Oh now youre all interested huh, you Grump. He was actually quite nice and probably would have been interesting to talk to had we had more of a ride ahead of us.  Through out all of this i started to feel more and more as though i had seen Fran before. Finally as i was getting of the train it hit me, Fran had already appeared on Reason & RasClot before, filed under Bad manners. Yes Fran was Ms So you didn’t go to finishing school?, And here she was the antithesis of all she had shown herself to be previously. Now well see which Fran we met next; the Devil or the Angel.

There I am, jabbing at the page with my pen, like a pig in shit, not a care in the world. When I’m happened upon by some german tourists. A family, mother father and two teenage girls; How sweet. Since they are not from here they were walking in an unorganized pack, there family tethers invisible, but there, would snap and reunite as they each snaked through the other pedestrians. As they had a set safety boundary they would spread out until tethers stressed to there limits would as if elastic pull them back into a huddle where they could remark amongst themselves about they they had seen on their little micro forays through the crowd. Well the limit was reach and they all came colliding back together surrounding me. Frau 1 noticed me drawing, and the the family motion came to a screeching halt. As they had been clamoring to get to specific place and had almost past it in their hurry. But now they were here. I heard other german from Frau 2; she pointed and then looked at dad. HE said something about new york street Kunst. a 5 minute debated ensued, amongst the family. I was not asked to participate, i as it turns out was the subject, and thus needed to focus on subjecting and not confuse the issue with any real facts or person-ness. These people were so close to me they could have been a devoted wait staff, in fact there were a few times when other people walking by, due to the, ‘whats thats crowd doing’ curiosity factor other people paused to see what was what. Is it considered decent etiquette in german to crowd a stranger and talk about him as if he weren’t there? What is the size of generally regarded personal space in germany? If reaching into my pocket from a seated position we touch, and your standing uup, all signs point to a violation in personal space. Remove the possibility of the incident happening on a train or other means of transpiration, take away, the idea of a popular restaurant or coffee bar, youre clearly crowding the plate. Back up off me SON! This is New York City, you dont me like that. I could be that guy that all your friends back home warned you about. That, let me make the trip a memorable one with a smile, No no, all of you should be in the picture. Yes i know how to use this. Stand a little closer, a little closer. And, im doing a runner with your camera FOOLS! Another tourist jacked. Luckily for them, they didnt have any cameras out, and running back inot the office with stolen tourist gear seems a lil foolish, oh and im also not that guy. SO i sat there, and enjoyed the show. They didn’t break the fourth wall nor did they respond to my attempt at it, so be it. Shortly their time was up and, with german efficiency each exhibit regardless of interest was allowed 5 minutes and then to keep the schedule, it was on to the next one for them.
