Hello Husi! So, here I am sitting at the counter of my little part time job at the convenience store next door to my house. You can't beat the travel time, but it is perhaps the dullest job on the planet. It is really meant for someone of low intelligence; they may find it challenging (you do get to sort mail, which is fun I must say). Of course, you also get to feel the eyes of the EIGHT cameras looking at you as you roam around the perhaps 1000 square foot area of the store. Yes, I said eight cameras; their views overlap. And, I have been told by friends that the store owner does in fact take the time to watch my shifts in fast forward for fun and profit while he's working. So, in fact, someone will watch this very moment (me typing here and now on my computer) hours from now and, no doubt, be exhilarated by the exciting action of my fingers hitting the keys. What a world.
Lots of things have been going on, as with everyone, life happens. CBB wrote a little bit about his insanity (which was insane, don't be fooled) of working two jobs. Thankfully that has ended and now he just has to heal. Which could take a bit. He has taken next week off which will be super great for everyone. Of course, it would be nice if we had all the money from that now, to enjoy next week while he is off. Instead, we will be scraping, having shelled out more money then expected for both of our two years of unfiled taxes. But, bright side to that is we will be getting money back from the governement.
I took a motorcycle course last month and got my license. That was SOOOOO much fun. Absolutely LOVE driving a motorcycle, as I knew I would. The trainers loved me. Well, that is, they thought I was hilarious (that's almost the same right?). Why you ask? Well, there weren't very many other students there (of the 37 or so of us) who kept smiling through the first day of riding for eight hours in the rain. In the eighth hour we were adding speed and doing large loops with weaving (SOO fun) of the parking lot and I was grinning like a mad man. Heee hee hee! Of course, I still don't own a motorcycle so I haven't been able to ride as much as I would have liked since that weekend... but I do look forward to getting a motorcycle sometime in the future (soon would be GREAT!) and when I do you can bet your ass I'll be riding it everyday or near to it.
My children are still very sweeterific but they keep getting bigger. I think it's hormones or something.
I was working on a show for my stupid community theatre group, of which I am now a board member (this will be short lived) and there was more stupid confusion and lack of communication. I did lots of work, really improved my sight reading (learned and recorded almost 18 songs in two weeks) and then the half of the cast of the show decided they wanted someone else to do the music. This was because they felt I wasn't showing up for rehearsals. So, although the director kept telling them I would be at the next rehearsal, she failed to call me and tell me where and when to be. Of course, even if I had been just a total ass, the cast REALLY still has no right to decide my removal, but, somehow, they did, and the president of the community theatre group went along with it when they sprang it on him two hours before the production meeting; and then called me to tell me. It was very strange considering I had just a week before hammered out the schedule for doing music with the director who FINALLY sat down and talked to me (I had been trying to contact her for a while). Anyway, so, I did lots of work, quickly, now someone else will get to do the fun part of just teaching and singing with the actors, not to mention having their name listed for their work. Meh.
As soon as I got the call from the assistant director telling me I was, in essence, fired (!!!) I thought, well, that's it then. I'm done with that group. CBB was very upset - he has wanted me to be done with them for a while now already (he feels I'm too good for them, which, although sweet, I don't necessarily believe). I spoke with the president of the group, he told me that he too was going to get out as soon as this show was done (there are evil women taking over the company), and the company was in the black again. That was all yesterday. Today the president calls me and tells me he is going to do one more show with this group, and he wants me to be the musical director (it's a Christmas show so, really it's having a Christmas choir) and would I do it. Also, he wanted to try and get me to stay on the board. Of course CBB is very against me staying on the board (which I am too, so no problem here), and probably about doing the show too (here I am waffling... I like Christmas music, it could be fun to have a nice choir to lead for a few months). What do you guys think?
I think that's about it for now. I'm sure that's enough *littlestar for anyone. I hope this summer is finding you all well!
