so at work i sometimes find myself in the enviable position of being the one doing Gel. and i get to cut it and file it and put it into frames and arrange it in piles and manipulate it in other ways like rolling little pokey device over it to punch lines of holes, and communing with living scrollers to change the gel ribbon things ....... and you know i like manipulating things. an 8 hour day never went by so fast.
where was i going with this you ask?
so framing up zip strip gels i have 4 colors and 5 strips with 20 cells each. hurr. so i grab a fist full of frames and pull from a pile on the work bench and i have enough frames in my pile to frame up 3 of the colors and there are 2 frames left. and i go to grab another fist full and i finish the 4th color and its back down to the exact same 2 frames, left lonesome a second time.
it pleases me when i manage to grab exactly the right number to finish a set, but i think this pleased me a little more, that it worked that way, the same 2 frames being extra twice. hah.
oh. my sad little life.
in other news? the 4 colors in order were L161, 316X, 318X, and L201
jerk. (also? boring. but i said that about enchanted april and i ended up being enchanted anyways....)
one day i hope to be able to blast thru a whole groundrow drop without realizing that i get the cell placement wrong on like the second color. and then i have to go back and move them all over one as i put the next color in, when it goes behind in sequence physically but not consecutively. meh?
ya know? ya know?!
