Company X-mas party

It’s been a really non-descript week. At least tonight was something of a change. Not a very fun change, but a change: the company X-mas party. Another year of saying grace before eating, and of rushing people through dinner and making them uncomfortable in front of the crappy DJ. It wasn’t too bad, really. There were a couple of notable things that happened this year:

No kids at the party
Two free drinks and wine at the table
A pretty darned funny stand-up comic
The Support Team swept the door prizes
Free food (can’t go wrong with free food)

Yeah, but there were some things that could be improved upon, and this comes to me as no surprise, though my improvements may not be considered by the Powers that Be…

Only two drinks at party
No taxi coupons
Few/poor vegetarian options
Strange kilt-wearing individuals
Crappy DJ (see above)
Few drink options (can’t make a Tom Collins? It’s Gin and lemon juice for crying out loud!)
Same old Waterloo Inn

I wish I were hungover right now. No, it was pretty lame, all things considered. But they’re getting better — they still don’t have the whole computer industry culture thing down. Still seemed like a party for a bunch of Chartered Accountants, except they’d have better wine.

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.
