Just taking a brief break from not working here… maybe I should go pressure-wash the devil now… this whole furniture process is frustrating. Not as frustrating as the idea of working for some company is, but frustrating nonetheless. For instance, right now what my father wants me to be doing is watching him work on table legs. Not me working or having any part in it, and since he’s unable to communicate in any meaningful way I won’t be able to do what he’s “showing” me on my own later, either. I’ll have a general idea of it, maybe pick up two of seven vital concepts, but when it comes time for me to do it on my own, I’ll have to start from scratch and figure it all out as though he had never shown me anything. Hooray!
So, consequently, I don’t feel my time is being used effectively. And even if I were to spend all day just following my father around, watching him work, I certainly wouldn’t consider it “hours worked” since I wouldn’t have gotten anything done myself. I have … a few minutes work I could maybe do on my lamp , then it’s just … pressure-washing the devil. Maybe trying to find some aliens to pressure-wash. Because this whole “furniture” thing isn’t really working out so good. Time to move to selling the devil and aliens. Who doesn’t want to fill their homes with the devil and with aliens?
Well, I got my brother to actually drag the devil into the bathtub, and I spent about half an hour pressure-washing before I decided to stop for a while… give myself a chance to see what progress I was making.
Looks okay. The devil needs a lot more work before I’m done cleaning, but the water turned black and was so thick it completely clogged the drain of the bathtub… and we don’t have any hardware in there, it’s just a two-inch hole.
No aliens today.
But I did get my lamp topped off square, the cord pulled, well, mostly. Looks like I need some superglue or epoxy for part of it. Will work more tomorrow.
Sadly, I hear that this week will have almost no time free for working on furniture et cetera, with too much other work that my grandfather has suddenly decided needs to be done right away. Sigh.

Hey teel, can you email how to access the modernevil email to me to kultrshok@cox.net? Also, I may have found some work for you.. this guy I work with also does backdrops for photography and needs an assistant, it would be alot of contour work to start… Interested? Of course, it would pay.
