work sucks

Well after 1 more week of work on the new Harris Scarfe store in the city it is all over.
Job handed over on time and in my debrief evaluation they were all happy with my performance and even went so far as to offer me a full time position with their company (Harbusol) and wanted to organize some more training for me in the next few weeks. But then the real kicker, they decide for some bizare reason not to pay me or any of the other contractors the 4 weeks they owe. I can't think why they would do this other than to be a bunch of fucktards. Seriously these people have no concept of the hardship they cause, they have no concept of what it is like for the people lower down the food chain who need money to live and put food on the tables for their kids. What they don't get is that they are not just inconveniencing a company they are hurting our families and that is something that is unforgivable in my books. Needless to say I have declined their offer and now advised them the matter will be put in the hands of a debt collector.
They also need to understand that Adelaide is a small place and I will make sure I tell all the connections I have here to not do business with them unless they get payment in advance.
I already have work elsewhere but the hole they have put me and others in is gonna take a while to get out of.

On a positive note I did have my last appointment at Progression Tattoo the other day to finish my half sleeve. It is still a little scabby at the moment so I will wait until it has healed before posting pictures but I am happy with the work Matt has done and really enjoyed my time down there. When I get to be a bit more financial again I will be back to get the other arm done. Already know what I want in my head but I know the actual tattoo design will far exceed what I imagine once Matt does his work just like he did on the other one.

Also tomorrow is the Riot City Wrestling show, can't say I am organised or really in the mood at the moment because of the shit from work but that will all change once we are there and set up  and the show starts. That's when the magic happens and the guys and girls do their thing. I am happy to be involved with those guys and girls even if it is often a 14 hour day for nothing more than a thank you. The kick from doing a show that is the envy of most other promotions in Aus. and even better that a lot of the US indies is reward in itself. I believe in the product and like the people, how many people in this world get to work in an environment like that?


Oh well still a little depressed this week and slightly angry so I apologise in advance if you piss me off and I punch you in the throat but you have been warned. lol.

I'll leave you this week with something from my 6 year old daughter. When asked what makes her happiest in life she replied "Those Ninja things", I believe there is something in that for all of us.

Jack.
