It's been a while. Vacation to Portland & then my Dad was in town visiting for 10 days. Things are starting to return to "normal".
Things are going well in audio. I'm on nights right now. The guy training me was busy last week and I'm on call for jury duty this week. I can't afford to miss work, so I asked if I could stay on nights this week. I've made a few mistakes so far, but I'm learning and everything I've done wrong I have sorted through to make right. I'm looking forward to moving into my regular shift; 4-2am M-Th. I'm used to missing stuff at night during the week. I'm also used to working ten hour days. I'm really looking forward to have a three-day weekend every week. Also, I'm eager to negotiate my new rate. I'm still struggling to get by right now. It's so close, I can taste it.
This weekend was low key. I worked late Friday night. Saturday, my friend cancelled on me, so I stayed home and watched a movie "Box of Moonlight". Sam Rockwell and John Turturro both did an excellent job. I recall seeing part of it before. It was good to see the whole thing.
Yesterday, we had band prctice at 11. It went well. It felt good to play again. It's been three weeks. After rehearsal, I had a few friends over for a BBQ. Pork loin, carne asada, corn. LOTS of beer. It was nice to just relax and hang around the bungalow. Fortunately, I didn't have to go to jury duty today. I like being able to sleep in after a beer filled afternoon.
I am not going to school this semester. It's unfortunate, but I don't see any other way around it. I couldn't register in time for classes because I didn't have the money. Between the motorcycle tires and the van radiator, I haven't had any money for two months. I have to admit that I'm a bit relieved. Now I can just concentrate on settling into the new job. I'll have to apply again the next time I want to take classes and I'll have low registration priority. I have to admit that I was never certain about the plan to go to grad school. I was just bored and it was good to go back to school part time. I know I might get bored with the new job, despite the greater security it has to offer. School will still be there if I feel like applying for the spring, right? I'd just hate to register for a class and perform half-assed in the class or at work.
Things are good. I'm looking forward to having more resources. I want to be able to pay for a date, drinks, & return the kindness of all my friends. They've really kept me going when things have been bad.
