Blogging in the new year
I have to say that last night was probably one of the better New Year's Eves I've had in my life. When you work in a theatre, life is never dull and the stories you have to tell always fair to the extreme. Hey, remember that one night when we had two shows back to back both with champagne toasts at the end and we all had to run up and down the aisles serving everyone champagne. Oh and then, after the first show there were a couple of poured but not served glasses so I downed them all as to not let it go to waste. Then it hit me right as we started seating for the second show. Then our boss gave us all a free drink from the bar, so I was pretty much intoxicated for the whole second show (but still did my job very well.) Oh, and then remember, that we all toasted, got the people out of the theatre, cleaned up, locked the first door, and had a giant party/jam session with the cast/crew/families on the stage where we tried to drink all the open bottles we had left over until about 2am when Tara finally kicked us all out? I love working there. It's the great people. If I didn't like the people I work with, it would be the worst job in the world. That's why I quit doing the YMCA camp. I started to hate my co-workers, and really, with these kind of jobs, you HAVE to get along with the people you work with, otherwise you'll just go crazy.
I woke up incredibly hung over around 7am, went back to sleep, and then got up alright at 11am. I'm making black-eyed pea soup for tradition's sake.
This year I resolve to:
- make money
- save a good portion of that money
- eat healthier
- work out
- get a handle on this wedding stuff
- be a better friend
I've been slacking in the friend department. I've let my work take over my life because to make the money I need to make, I've been working full time hours at a part time job. I keep applying to jobs, but no one has given me an interview since June. It's really depressing. Winter's are hard on me here. I lived 18 winters in Dallas and this is only my 5th in Chicago. I don't want to leave my house to go do stuff. I don't want to ride my bike which makes the commute time a lot longer in most cases. I just want it to be spring already so I can move into a nice new apartment with sunlight so I can garden. My mom gave me some veggie seeds for Christmas. I just want a nice garden.
