Time Drops #41: Week of February 25, 2024

 

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. the Ticketmaster

Greetings, Ticketholders!
My employer is cutting back on hours again this week because rich people like money and poor people...don't? Also, I'm late getting this out because I had to get up at four o'clock this morning to get the house ready to receive a new dryer and refrigerator at 7am, only for the driver to not show up until 8:30, drop our fridge in the street, lie to us about the parts we bought not being on the truck, pick the stupidest possible way to try to get the fridge through a doorway that it barely fit through, took our pantry door off without asking us, refused to reverse the refrigerator doors without wasting half an hour on the phone with his boss to get approval because "they could only be there for fifteen minutes," stole a gallon of milk that we left in our old refrigerator, told my mother to "let us do our jobs" when she told them to take the refrigerator doors off so it would fit through the doorway, lied to his boss about how we were "not letting him leave" and "getting in our way," and threatened multiple times to drive off and leave the refrigerator sitting, undelivered in the middle of our kitchen. So to get our fridge and dryer delivered properly, it took the driver's boss showing up at our house and  a young, ESL trainee, at eleven o'clock, doing what he could have just done by himself without incident four hours earlier. So, yeah; I'm fucking tired! And I'm going with Home Depot from now on because Lowes and their third-party delivery bullshit have fucked us over on our last two appliance orders.
And my father might have metastatic colon cancer!
But the good news is that I got my Marketing capstone presentation submitted to WGU on Friday, so I can move on to filing my taxes and writing content for March.
Also, I went to use my free coffee gift card, and a customer from the grocery store paid for my order!
If only the coming week's schedule was as packed as the last two days....

So that we can all stay apprised of my head start, I will keep the year-in-content list at the end of these posts going forward, in addition to the usual, weekly announcement. So please read beyond the weekly content calendar for more information on the year to come, and share the love by remembering to comment your true feelings at the bottom of this post, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't already, help out my ad revenue as you read, and choo-choo-choose me on social media at the links below to like what you see and to receive the latest heart-shaped boxes of news on my content and calendars thereof.

Ticketmaster,
Out.

Zenescope - Omnibusted #18: Tales From Wonderland

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster This is my second week in a row of getting  Omnibusted , this time by compiling my reviews of all three Volumes of  Tales From Wonderland  into one post to pad my content while I catch up a little. Please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment at the bottom of this post, help out my ad revenue as you read, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest  Grimm  news on my content.

As with the early  Grimm Fairy Tales  Volumes, there is an additional short story at the end of each Volume of  Tales From Wonderland . Tales From Wonderland  Volume #1 TFW  # 1:  Queen o

One Piece Multi-Piece #7: Impel Down

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. Master Of Tickets Before we set sail for this short issue of the One Piece  Multi-Piece , please chart a course by remembering to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read, and joining my Crew on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest snail transmissions of news on my content. I rarely post anything on YouTube, but I'm a frequent commenter and content supporter, and I recently commented on one of Doug Walker's videos as follows: It's not just you, Doug; Buggy the Clown didn't land for me in the anime at first. But he is AMAZING in the Impel Down arc (not going to spoil it, but the basic idea is the "Lock Up" episode of BTAS in Dante’s Inferno with One Piece characters, done as a full season). And that's pretty accurate. With no crew to help him fight, find his way, feed him, or fix

Just the Ticket #142: Alien Resurrection

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. Ticketmaster 8 I only wish there were seven more of me to do the things I don't want to do, and to help me do the things I enjoy, but better. I seem to be doing alright for myself, though, as we're poised to pass twenty thousand views for the month. But (save one or two sources of light) work is not my friend at the moment, so a few viable clones, or more realistically, a more enjoyable paying  job, would make life a lot more bearable. To ensure that  Just the Ticket  stays viable and enjoyable, please remember to tell each of your friends, family members, and clones to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, send a beacon to the comments section at the bottom of this post because it's the only way to be sure my site doesn't get nuked from orbit, help out my ad revenue as you read to keep The Company happy, and use the air ducts to follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  so you can like what you see and r
