It continues

The job search continues. I had an interview today... it was alright but I'm not too into the total commission based jobs that have no health insurance and where all my leads come from current clients' referrals. I'm not really sure about it all. I have another interview on Wednesday, but am pretty sure they will work the same way as the one today did.

On a happy note, Comcast is coming to install our internet on Wednesday afternoon! That means... yes... I don't have to pilfer internet from others!! It really has been a pain in the ass having to go to the library or a friend's house just to get online so I'm glad we are finally taking care of that.

Well, that's about it for my exciting life... LAME

Oh happy day...

Well, here's one good thing that's happened... I have an interview (?) tonight with the Colorado Stage Company Theatre as a stage manager. I'm pretty sure I have the job if I want it, but it's pretty far south from where I live, and I don't know if it's worth it for the drive ya know? It's 31 miles from my house which will equate to almost 1 1/2-2 hours of driving a night. Depending on when I get out... that's killer. However, it does pay ($600 for the whole run) and it would get me back into the theatre world (which is GREAT). One other concern I have is that I get a job that makes me pull out at the last minute. That wouldn't be good for ANYONE. So I'm a bit torn. I'll talk to the lady tonight about my concerns and we'll see what she thinks.

In other news...

Not a whole lot. I've lost 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks which is awesome. I've been at the gym 6 of the 7 past days. I'm taking today off becuase 7 days in a row isn't good for your bod. I need some rest!! It is a GEORGOUS day today here in Colorado. It's about 60degrees and sunny. How wonderful!! The rest of the week is also suppposed to be nice.

Tomorrow I'm going to a job fair. I've never found these to be particularly helpful but it's worth a try and besides, I have to apply to at least 5 places a week in order to qualify for unemployment... and that'll knock them all out at once (not as if I'm not applying all over anyway).

I'm at Ben's right now hanging out with his sister and using their free interwebs... as I STILL have none at home... which is killing me.

I have also become rediculously obsessed with Harry Potter lately. I'm on book 4 and as of today, own all 5 movies. (just bought #5 today) I've been watching the movies back to back one after the other. The only thing I can think of that explains this new weird habit is that I don't want to watch any movie that might make me think about real life. That would probably just depress me. So I watch movies that are completely nonsense. I have a feeling that after Harry Potter runs it's course, I'll move on to Disney movies. What can you do?

Alright, I'm out.... time to check craigslist again... what a bunch of crap....

Welcome to the Asylum

I write this entry assuming that you read my entry about what a crazy week was in store for me last week. Well, as I embark on a new week, I find it necessary to vent a bit, and in general, unwind. Bare with me as I ramble into oblivion. Not to worry, I only have about 30 minutes until my sleeping pill kicks in... then it's lights out.

I think we are all caught up through Thursday when I had my interview with a robot. Thursday night, however, I went to play trivia at Old C's and with the help of Carlito, I came in second... slash third. If you need and explaintion of how this happens, check out the trivia blog from that night. There's a wonderful (NOT!) picture of me with Carlito and how the night went down.

Friday was pretty standard wackiness at OS. Giggles and I routinely lose our minds on Friday and it's pretty much just a big game of who loses it first and who loses it worst. In the end we always end up pretty even by annoying our co-workers to the "nth" degree. We got a smattering of snow which caused everyone to forget the basics of driving 101 on the wonderful ride back to the subburbs which pretty much explains the life of a city commuter. Friday night I hung out at Old C's with my favorite bartenders again after I was dissed by some other friends.

Saturday was a workshop at the OS and so I had to get up early and work. Overtime is great and all, but it messed up the chi of the day!! After work I decided to go to the market and on the way stopped by to check out the 24Hour Fitness near me. After a tour and explanation of prices, I decided to join. I'm going in tomorrow after work to sign the paperwork and get my membership card. :) I've also found out that my parents are almost definitely coming out for Memorial day to see me and so that my dad and I can do the Bolder Boulder together!! YAY!! I eventually did get to the market and home where I made a wonderfully low fat dinner. I had just enough time to check my email and make a phone call before I had to head off to the church I design lights for for a meeting with the director of the service. I can't even tell you how great it was to finally have some one on one time with her without all the other committee members telling me their opinions. In short, I don't give a damn about what those other people want to see done!! It's between me and the director. Besides, you, my dear, have shitty taste!

Today was spent (and I do mean ALL of today) at Comcast Media Center in Centennial watching a taping of Food Network Challenge. This one was really different, and I would tell you all about it except I had to sign a non-disclosure waver saying that I wouldn't tell what went on during the taping and that if I did FNC had the right to come break my kneecaps.. I couldn't take pictures and there were only 50 people allowed to come. Last time I went there was no guest list, anyone could come and go as they please, you could take pictures, and there was no waver. I was pretty upset about the picture thing. I'll blog more about it after the show airs the third week of April. The other taping I went to is called Chocolate Masterpeices and is showing during chocolate week in February (around Valentine's day). I got to the studio at 7:45am and left at 7:30pm. Crazy!! About the show, all I can say is that Food Network may have taken this a little too seriously and I think that's a damn shame.

A full weekend but fun and I got some good stuff done. I'm getting a little heavy lidded... guess I've been typing for about 3o minutes, eh?

I did fail to mention that on Wednesday night I traveled down south to Courtney and Matt's who so graciously invited me to come watch the LOST season premier. Though it's a bit of a drive for me, it was a lot of fun!! Until Joe came in through the balcony door (she's on the 2nd floor by the way) and scared the ever loving Jesus out of me...

Until next time....
