The day begins with more fighting in our office. Fucking ridiculous, why do we EVER do animation projects? Always ends like this. My lead artist reckons he's leaving after this as this project has pushed him over the edge. He's said that about half a dozen times in the past though and nowt has happened. Thinks he can just click his fingers and have a job at one of the special effects companie sup town. Yes, he is talented, without doubt, but I can't see a big company like that permanently having a job open for him. besides, I think he'd miss being overlord of all creative things, as he is in here. He thinks the company would fall apart without him, and yes, it would be a blow, but it would also be refreshing to get someone in who did the job without the ego being quite so present in every job and quote. I know my boss is tired of it and has been using a freelancer to do some other job and he's done an ace job and has been very easy and helpful to work with, my lead can be an obstacle a lot of the time, just for the sake of doing it and flexing his power. He's one of those people that if he's wanting to contribute something to a conversation, he won't wait for the other person to finish, he'll just talk over them in the belief that he is funnier or more incisivie, when he is neither. I like the lad but I can see that his ego has just gotten too big for the comapny now, making him very difficult to work with, might be better for all if he just went up town. Apart form that, all is fairly well in my little world. Started on my shitload of pills this morning, so I'll see how they go. The hospital rather helpfully gave me a bottle of 60 pills when I am meant to take them 4 times a day, so I'm going to have ot get a repeat almost straight away, the sackless twats. Had a ver enjoyable meditation seesion this morning, makes me feel really good and totally relaxed after i do it. Wish I could find a class that did specifically what I wanted to learn instead of including fucking 'workshops' and the like. One of those blokes pretending to be a statue up the high street, a big group of quite young school children walked past so he jumped and stamped on his box, the kids shat themselves, made me chuckle. There was a strange looking lad at the bus stop, couldn't work out if he had a smidgen downs syndrome or just looked that way. A tasty sandwich from pret, roasted peppers and cheese, was ok. The soup was good (carrot and spice) though a little overpowering with very chewy clumps of herbs. bit too thick as well.
