so i started my regular shift at wsfa today. i have been training for weeks in the evenings, but today i made my first attempt at the 1:30-7:30 am shift.
it is 8 right now. i am at job number two. pretty sure i am going to fall asleep-just face plow into my keyboard and never miss a snore.
i stayed up late saturday-till almost three, and made myself get up early so that i would be tired yesterday afternoon. danny covered the window in the bedroom with some towels and stuff to block out the daylight so i could trick myself into thinking it was bed time. i went to bed at 6:30 pm, and all was bliss..until 9:30 when i woke up.
yeah..pretty much been up ever since. i figure though, after a long day today, my body will quit fighting and will stay asleep tonight. if it doesnt, i dont know what i will do..cause i have only slept 7 hours in the past 2 nights combined, and i will start getting seriously out there if i have another night of failed z’s. not to mention i actually have to think for my job. staring at the computer screen like a zombie only works at the secretary job (where i am now).
and speaking of the producer job..its great. just thought you should all know. my coworkers are lovely. work is lovely.even though i was tired, the hours flew by like nothing this morning. i can not believe how much i have learned in a matter of weeks over there. its insane. i really like this job, and i am trying to not become jaded about it. i am trying to maintain an ultra-positive attitude, and i am gonna pull it off.
still haven’t seen a paycheck, but it will be a beautiful day when i do. shoes for all! and by all, i mean a lot of shoes for me and maybe danny if he lucks out.
gonna see john prine friday, but this is probably all that you will ever hear about it. should be good.

Glad to read some good news.
You should totally give me a tour.

I’m really glad I’m(your) gonna get shoes! Reprogram the teleprompters!

Congrats again on the job. Glad you’re enjoying it.

still no paycheck :(
turns out i have to wait a month..but i did have my first meeting with our “consultant” this morning, and everyone had positive things to say about me, which brightened my day considerably.
steve- i would be more than happy to give you a tour..you just have to show up between 1:30 and 6 am.

On my way.
Sigh… It’s about 1:30 AM over here, listening to The Background by Third Eye Blind. “The plans I make still have you in them” - good stuff. I’m not usually one for ellipsis’… Way too dramatic for me, but I mean it when I use ‘em. If I were back in Alabama, I’m sure I’d be sharing a moment with someone right now.

and it would be me. We can all have what we want in fantasy land.

The Plane! The Plane! Wow, a tour of a real studio! Now that I have read this post. I want to be a producer! Do you have the producer hat?
May 16th, 2008 at 8:21 AM
no, but they did let me wear the headset in the studio this morning. i felt like a badass.
and i got paid! and i get paid for my other job today! shoes!

You wear that fucking headset everywhere you go, I demand it. Really, it’s like a neon “BADASS” sign all over your head.
