Quiet...
It's such a weird feeling for me not to have to work today. Yes, I'll be working my tail off in the play tonight, but it's a different kind of work. Artistic work and job work are worlds apart. By this time, on a normal Friday, I'd be just getting done with my first hour and wishing the other seven would hurry up. I think the thing that separates the two is that I'm more inclined toward artistic work, rather than job work. Granted, I don't know of many people that are absolutely enthralled with their jobs well after the honeymoon.
Don't get me wrong; this job is far better than many that I can imagine. It pays relatively well, has hours that fit my schedule, and it's not insanely difficult work. Plus, there are some days where I get a quiet evening with nothing going on, where I can read a book or just relax a little. If nothing else, I'm building up an impressive work history. I've been there since June of 2006. That's nearly a year and a half. I haven't seen a raise in that time, but that's another matter.
Anyway, so I'm at home just sitting in the quiet. Well, obviously I'm on the computer, but the point still remains. I have an afternoon that is normally supposed to be filled up with work. Now, I just have an afternoon - until call time for the play tonight. It's nice, but also kind of eerie. I feel like I should be doing something. Hmm... if I were really smart, I'd be doing my homework, but I don't think that's going to happen tonight. Not with the play coming up.
