I find out through the grapevine that we and our neighbors are the only ones who didn’t give our UPS driver a christmas gift. What are the right protocals for this under these conditions? 1) I’m not Christian although I might give others some “christmas gifts” usually for my family and such.2) Our driver isn’t that great. We once had a great driver who I’d give a “bonus” to at the end of the year. The one we have isn’t him.3) Our ups driver made it a point to tell one of our employees about his lack of gift which makes it seem like he feels he’s entitled to it4) he didn’t give one to us – yes, what do you think about that? He’s getting paid to do his job. We’re paying for him services, so… where’s our gift?5) he can actually be a jerk at times and has been to our manager. To his defense, he does his job. He delivers us the packages, and picks up the ones we have for him – which is becoming less and less as we start to move on to using more of the crappy government services. What’s the right thing?

Random musings. Late December. Whoa gift basket #2! This one is from our print shop – Transcontinental. Thanks Mike Bradley and Kent Gower. They’re nice folks, and something like this comes every year. They don’t mess up much, and they’re usually pretty good to me. So Merry Xmas and so on folks. When you get older, you get gift baskets, this year it’s two, previous it’s just one. It’s over… Sculpy project while watching TV. The headdress is cut off a bit, but in the end, it’s a dude cruising in a car happy with a funky Tuvan hat. I’ll have to paint this. Like his tie?! He’s selling bibles door to door. Whoa there GW… Islam isn’t necessarily shit, right? This was seen in a parking lot in Santa Monica. Funny technique. Lettering gets a D rating. I welcome graffiti that has a message, and it would be neat to see more if it replaced some of the other types of graffiti. Maybe I’d actually get mad by a message and it’ll make more change. Graffiti inspiring change in more fields than “just” art. That’s an interesting thought.
