For the past week or so J and I have been spending our time together at night sitting side-by-side at our dining table with our laptops open, working. He has a lot going on at work at the moment and traveling overseas every so often just makes his mountain of work higher and higher. My work comes in spurts: when the assignments come, they just pour ( Read more... )

After months of preparations, we are in the final stretch. This time next week, we will hear the last curtain call ring through the theatre. As the actors bow to the audience's applause, backstage we frantically begin packing - costumes, props, scripts, everything just thrown into large bags or plastic bins. Minutes after the last audience member ( Read more... )

Saying goodbye to The Crypt was, to say the least, a rather underwhelming experience. Here's what it was like ( Read more... )

I've been really exhausted the last couple of days, especially because rehearsals with the Teenyboppers are well under way, and I'm pretty much working 15 hour days because of this. It's good fun, though, and it beats sitting in The Crypt all afternoon ( Read more... )

It's amazing how in the space of a one hour meeting, I can develop a full-blown throbbing headache. I'm sorry that I've turned into one of those moldie-oldies, but look, if you're fresh out of school and new to the company, do your damn research before you shoot your mouth in front of everybody, pointing fingers about work not done and targets not ( Read more... )

Nice Boss has finally done it - the beginnings of my shift to another (co-related) department, where I will hopefully get to focus on what I really want to do in this job. It's a bit like being in another start-up: nothing has been laid down, we're going to have to develop and fight for our policies, we're going to have to do most of the work ( Read more... )

Apparently last night I slept in a horizontal position in bed, with my head at least two feet away from the pillow. J says he noticed it in the middle of the night, but I 'looked comfortable' so he didn't bother shifting me back into position ( Read more... )

Quick update just to record that I've had another talk with Nice Boss over the future in The Crypt. Basically she wants to change my job scope a little to focus on stuff that I have more interest in doing. It all sounds fairly promising except that she's the eternal optimist and after 3 days of readjustment back to life in The Crypt I get the ( Read more... )

It's incredible that more than a week after returning from NY, I haven't found time to write about it yet. The reasons are the usual ones: W, O, R and K. I have a new film project coming up next week (just after I'm done with the Teenybopper project), and this time I'm not sure if I've bitten off more than I can chew. This week I'm working in the ( Read more... )
