A small but acceptable consolation

Had to do work on a SATURDAY, for crying out loud! We’re getting near the end of the quarter and I’ve still got to finish up some tasks, so this is the only time I can do it. All well and good, but I feel seriously cheated come Monday morning.
Went out to the Jane Bond tonight around 11:00pm but couldn’t even get in the door — it was that busy. So I went over to Williams Coffee Pub instead, opting for coffee instead of beer. I watched for 20 minutes while some server patrolled the restaurant looking for the person who bought the latté. I tried calling to her, waving the little number plaque around, all to no avail. Finally she went back up to the counter and her co-workers pointed in my direction. The latté was cold, but they made fun of her all night long. A small but acceptable consolation.
Hee hee. A friend sent me this link tonight. From the name, I thought it was going to be dirty:

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
