New design: by request, Death By GMO

I had a request a while back from a grocery store owner, who wanted a version of the Death By Ramen graphic dealing with GMOs. Did a little reading, and now I can't sleep at night because Monsanto scares the crap out of me.

I played around with it a while, and ended up with two versions that I couldn't decide between. So I decided to go with both, available in the new requests section.



Gentlemen, to progress!

Welcome back, Cynic!

Thank you, it's good to be here. So what does this make, the third or fourth "I'm back" message? I'm sensing a pattern here, and one I want to break. I think this one just might do it.

Honduras has been insanely busy for me. Life in general here is slower paced, more laid back, but in my case I've been working as the tech and webmaster for a local school, and as usual I ended up nose-to-grindstone with little or no time for anything else. I've had plenty of horror-story jobs before, with crack-addicted bosses (no, seriously), paranoid coworkers, tyrannical customers I've had to babysit, but in terms of sheer self-destructive incompetence, this one leaves the others far behind. My vocabulary fails me at this point, actually - I feel like I need a separate blog just to rant about this one job.

You know how they say "don't quit your day job"? I'm sure there's a reason for the saying, what with unemployment, the recession/depression, and of course the suckage factor of being homeless in Central America. But after a couple months of wacky hijinks and soul-numbing frustration, I did exactly that. I feel much better now. Not exactly coincidentally, I now have time to do things I enjoy much more. Things like CynicWear.
