Call me Missy Duke

Just them good ole' boys, never meaning no harm...

So I got my rental car today.  Unfortunately it sounds a lot cooler than it is.  I got me a Dodge Charger.  But not the cool Dodge Charger that the Dukes of Hazzard drove.  The new Dodge Charger that doesn't look anything like the old school Charger.  I don't like it.  It's hard for me, all of five feet tall, to drive.  I took the long way home from the rental place today to get used to driving it.  I was driving on roads I know, roads I've driven on a million times before but in the Charger everything felt weird and I felt like one of those annoying "Sunday Drivers" from out of town.  I can't wait to drive it to my job interview tomorrow.  Oh, the job interview, it's like 30 minutes away from the city, it's going to be fun highway driving and then even more fun finding this place off the highway.  But I'll be fine.  I'll leave with plenty of time to get there and I'll stay in the right lane the whole way so as not to piss off the normal people driving their normal cars.  I miss my Jeep.  I don't know when I'll get my Jeep back.  I should get a time estimate today.  Hopefully it will be a week or less.  

So I got a gig on Friday!  Yea!  I'll be working merch at some show at The Loft.  That means I'll be at the band's merch table so if you're at the show and you decide you want to buy a CD or a t-shirt I'm the one that will handle it for you.  Most bands bring their own merch people (like the drummer's little brother or the bass players buddy) but whoever the band is on Friday doesn't have their own merch person (or maybe they do but they'll be sick come Friday).  Whatever.  It's something to do, it's extra money and it'll be fun to be back in a music room.  Plus the people that run The Loft are buddies of mine so it'll be nice to see them.  I don't plan on doing merch or any other sort of work like that for the long term, and normally (like if I still had a job) I would've said no thank you, but this, for some reason at this point in my life seems like it could be a neat opportunity.  If nothing else, it's a change of scenery and I'll get to do something out of my norm.  Which I've been dying for.  Plus the $50 I'll get for basically 4.5 hours of easy work won't hurt.

The picture today is me as my new persona, Missy Duke.  Instead of the short shorts I wear leggings and Uggs.  Normally I would use my Photoshop skills to put my head on Daisy Duke's body or impose myself into a picture of the General Lee but since I don't have/can't afford Photoshop, this is what you get.

Anyway, I'm off to jump into my fancy Charger Duke style, through the window.  Yee haw!

P.S. it's election day (run off election day) so make sure you VOTE!  Everyone looks hot in their "I'm a Georgia Voter" sticker.
