I haven't posted in almost two months, wow. Lots has happened.
I started work at the Y. It was horrible. I quit after seven days of camp, plus like eight days of training and miscellaneous. I got paid for TWO days. I finally tracked down the rest of my paycheck today, but it was a whole ordeal involving a lot of emails over the last two weeks. Whatever, I am completely done with them forever. And you're gonna want to NEVER send your kids to the Hyde Park YMCA, because the people watching over them get very very inadequate training. Just, you know, in case anyone ever stumbles upon this post.
So I got a new job as a secretary at the Dedham Community House. And it's awesome. Except that there's not a lot of work for me to do. I have one real job that's all mine, which is extended day billing. It takes half an hour a day haha. Well except Mondays, where it takes about six hours to get the bills all compiled and sorted and mailed. But that's certainly not forty hours. I answer the phone (still stresses me out, what can you do), I open the mail, I make photocopies. The first week I worked five days 9-5, but then the next week was four days, some coming in later, some leaving earlier. Last week and this week are 9-5 MWF. Next week will probably be like 1-5 M-F, but the week after should be back to forty hours. And then it will be over 'cause it's just a temp job and I'll have to find another! Alas. I should just go back to Whole Foods. EXCEPT ALL MY FAVORITE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT. I went in on Monday and didn't know literally half the people on the registers. It was so sad. People keep getting fired or promoted to supervisors at other stores, and no one is left in Dedham.
My second round of the Wine and Dine half marathon is in less than two months and I am finding it very hard to motivate myself to go running. I know sometimes I love it, but lately I just do not. I need new stuff to listen to I think. I haven't downloaded new music in ages because my computer refuses to download iTunes, so I use Mumma's laptop, but I never think of it when I'm home (except right now), only in the car and when I'm running. I have so many things missing on my iPod, it's distressing. Then on my last run I was thinking about how nice it would be to listen to movies while I run, but I don't know how to get the audio. And then thought about audio books, but I can't decide what to download. I really want the Harry Potters but they are SO EXPENSIVE. And none of the libraries I belong to have it. Distress.
And speaking of not-running, I am fat. Like, edging ever closer to my highest weight ever. I don't know what's wrong with me, I am so hungry all the time. It seems like I can go half the week staying on-plan with my fake Weight Watchers, and then become ravenous and eat my weight in food. It is very frustrating. Thinking about swallowing a tapeworm.
I'm also really tired all the time lately. I was blaming it on the ridiculous humidity of the past few weeks, but today the humidity is much lower and I am as tired as ever. I sleep A LOT. Not mono-level sleeping or anything, but on my days off I sleep a solid ten hours and wake up still tired. Last night I was so tired I dreamed I was sleeping. And then when it came time to wake up, my brain was so foggy because it was still dream-sleeping. It was very bizarre.
I've done one show since Dolly. At first, I was in Florida, so it was fine that I wasn't doing theater since I was performing every day at work. Then I came back and started auditioning for stuff. And I cannot manage to get cast in anything. It is getting very disheartening. Okay, now that I really think about it, it's only been three shows. But it feels like a lot more!
I've started hardcore Christmas planning. Tax-free weekend is this weekend, so I aim to get a lot of shopping done. Also this weekend, I'm going karaoke-ing in Boston and I'm going to Textile Weekend at Sturbridge Village! I'm excited :-D
