We Interupt Everything to Bring You Nonsense
I've discoverd the perfect alternative to sit-ups: painting a window.
Specifically, painting a window by standing on a 6" window sill, which requires fully erect posture and keeping one's balance and reaching above one's head, for several hours.
I ache. My abs hurt, the muscles around my lower back hurt, the muscles of my neck and around my collar bone hurt.
But, the windows looks good.
Cap an' Gown ordered today for graduation. The ceremonies (plural, for some odd reason) are May 29th. I am not excited. kthnxbi.
My museum administration class is filling my brain with ideas to put to use at work. i was brainstorming a few days ago with my coworker kirsten ways of promoting the annual Stars of Hope charity. We explained everything to the GM. he goes "ya know Stars of Hope isn't until may or june, right?"
uhhhh.... but!
but!
Granted there are different rules between a non-profit museum and a very for-profit theater, but our location runs on essentially the same sort of budget (i.e. barely profitable) and a bunch of the goals are the same; better brand recognition, more community involvement, getting people in the door int he first place, and keeping a small staff that doesn't get paid much happy and functioning.
While all of our managers are still expected to do everything, the GM has begun to specialize them somewhat in an attempt to get more done (its failing, but that's mostly a communication issue). The current 'promotions manager' is contemplating transferring to the other theater. This is one of the two positions he was dangling in front of my nose last month. I had that interview!! i found out he had only officially posted for one of the two positions (the projectionist role, blarg, teach me already!!!) and although my interview still stands and i won't have to do it again, i do get to stand around and wait while he twiddles his thumbs on posting officially for the second position and doing the paperwork and maybe someday telling what the hell is going on and if i'm getting promoted or not.
Huff.

In other news, Josh is having the best deployment of his life. His unit is on a 2-3 month assignment on some german base, where there are few american soldiers, and even fewer helicopters. He spends most of his day learning german hands-on, staying out of the snow and playing nintendo DS. However, since its not his 'home' base, he can't recieve mail. No cookies. I told him to quit complaining.
