watch me tell the universe how to work

January 15, 2009 at 2:25 am · Filed under attempts at trying to influence the universe, important things that you should know about me and tagged: , , , , ,

work, work, work. school, school, school. sick, sick, sick. i have a new best friend, “vick’s vapo-rub”. we spent a long time apart, i really had no need to hang out with her, but it seems lately she’s been a lot more useful to me. this slimey concoction seems to have been made by the hands of the gods (or the many hands of one god if you’re doing the hindu-thing).

got hired as a tree planter in northern ontario this summer which i may very well do if other things don’t pan out. right now i’m being considered for a job with shakespeare by the sea, and i should be hearing back on the festival antigonish job within the next week. other theatre companies have my resume but i haven’t heard word from them yet (but it hasn’t even been a week since i sent them all out), others i should look into. i want to apply to as many jobs in theatre as i can for this summer, but i do have my preferences. it’s not like i’m blindly whoring myself out to whoever will take a resume. here’s hoping that it works out though. oh, and if you’re interested, i will still stay at staples but just take a leave of absence while i work the other job this summer. this will be my fifth back to school at staples if i’m there, and while i really do enjoy my job, i have to start looking for work in theatre if i want to do anything with my degree. tree planting is a nice back up because it pays so well and it would be an interesting experience.

the summer months are going to be interesting; along with working i’m also going to montreal for a few days come hell or high water. road trip, aww yeah.

right now, my list of demands for the cosmos and all that i can’t control go as follows:

  • stop snowing. get snow off roads, and warm the hell up.
  • get this damn virus out of my body. i hate being sick.
  • let sleep make me feel rested and not groggy.
  • make courtney love come to my house and ask for my hand in marriage.

“demands” is a strong word… i think “hopes” is more along the lines of what i wanted to say

jade is coming down in a month… i’m excited beyond words. i’ll leave it at that since i said “beyond words”

i’m going to bed.

so rhinoceros is back up and running again; the show re-opens tonight (wednesday) and runs until saturday just like last week. this will be followed by a cast party on saturday night along with celebrating danny’s 19th birthday and striking the set/lights/everything on sunday. thinking about free time after the show closes blows my mind, but the impending exams and papers due are a swift kick in the balls that follow the semi-carefree nights in the theatre doing the show.

my wisdom teeth are keeping me up… this is the second night this week and i’m going to say that i can’t wait for them to be yanked from my gum-line. no fooling there, infections can eat a big one.

wednesday is going to be pretty laid back, i’ve got to say; i have intro to production from 2:30 until 4, then my call for rhinoceros is at 6:30, so i will have a few hours free to do some more work (and possibly be ahead in my work/reading) and possibly grab some food. what was that? am i actually being productive? you know what that means, right? i’ve finally taken the reins and start working on my time-management; spectacular, i know.

new gas tank goes in the car soon, then i have to do any other repairs that may need to be done so that the car can pass inspection at the end of december; it’s going to be nice to have everything worked out in that respect.

tonight i was talking to amelia and she mentioned tree planting to me, which the more i think about it sounds like a really sweet deal… that would really kick-start my rent money fund and would be something good to fill up my time with for two months out of my four month summer break. i should look into it i guess, after all it would be one hell of an adventure.

i’m going to go to bed though, i popped some ibuprofin a while ago and i think it’s starting to kick in on my gum-aching

so this weekend was pretty good, i have to say… hung out with tubski, steve, and ryan on saturday night (including an apperance from steve’s girlfriend, karlie), on sunday tubski, ryan and i drove back to the valley and searched for about three hours to find three pools. after finally getting there, i realised that the people that were there weren’t exactly the most sober, nor were they giving off any good vibes, so we stayed long enough for tubski and ryan to jump off the rocks a few times, then we headed out to the look-off. this was followed by dinner at joes, and we decided not to head out to kingsport beach… i also showed the two around wolfville a bit, then we all just headed back to our respective homes at about nine that night.

right now, i’m getting everything together to head out to acadia and get my student loan stuff all worked out, then i have to call people concerning bursaries, take a bit of time to relax (maybe start on a bit of packing), then go to work tonight.

i’m actually pretty excited about the whole taking german thing; the last time i learned a language was french, and considering the fact that it was compulsary for so many years, it wasn’t something that i really enjoyed that much… god, five days until i move; no apologies for the countdown because i’m sure if you had a blog and you were excited about something like that, i would be hearing you count down as well.

time to brush my teeth… awww yeah.

no respect for those dead celebrities

relatively long day at work i’ve got to say, ended up staying an hour late to help out with some major laminating for an order due tomorrow (did the same thing on tuesday as well… i’m just a keener i guess). it’s nice to be home

to add to my alarm clock troubles, the thing is not loud enough because this morning i had it set for 6:30 am (i worked at 7:45 and i knew that in a tired-stupor i may press the snooze button) and it went off, but it wasn’t loud enough to wake me up… i wasn’t woken up until about 7:50 by my mother knocking on my door telling me that work called and i was late. i got there in record time, and luckily enough it was just kind of laughed off and i didn’t get in trouble (also jo was good enough to cover service until i got there… she’s a lifesaver)

plans for tonight? going to see the dark knight with dee and ty, but before i do any of that, i need to take a nap… the movie isn’t until 9:45 which means i’ll be out past 12 and since i work at 8:45 in the morning, i’d like to get my rest

i’m so prepared to crack heath ledger jokes tonight and chuckle to myself

there’s no such thing as too soon with me, kids

hell, i’m still making anna nicole smith jokes
