its opera week.
we load in monday through thursday.
rehearsals start saturday.
i have a pretty useless and unimportant job. just one of the little itty bitty cogs that could be got along without, but kind of help a little from time to time.
always a great way to feel better about yourself.
feeling a bit out of place anymore. i don't know how much longer i can stay at these low pay low satisfaction jobs.
time to start looking again.
we spend too much time in our lives at work to not enjoy it.
i've enjoyed this in the past. it provides a respite from some of the other realities in my life. but its time to go after things again.
i wonder if i'll miss it.
maybe a part of me.
so what am i after, you ask.
several different things.
but for now i am going to leave the details a bit fuzzy. i don't want to jinx things by telling too many people too early.
i'll let you know soon.
i'm out.

night by night
nope didn't call. i really suck.
went to a teppanyaki place for dinner. good food. good show.
symphony went well. constantly amazed at the number of people who cannot tell time. coming in 45min late to a 90 minute show? what are you thinking?
of course you did better than the couple who came over an hour in.
this is so completely disrespectful.
grow up people. be in your seats prior to the listed start time of a program. you'll enjoy it better.
much more on this later.

day by day, blow by blow
well, kind of fell apart there at the end of the week. had a couple overlapping job issues.
back now. miss me?
i thought not.
its definitely been a mix of good and bad for the last few days.
thursday.
did a load in for a set rental from the opera. everything seemed to go fine. until i got back to the shop and got yelled at for not bringing unused pieces back. which i was not asked to do. and that was only the beginning of the ass reamings for that afternoon. but got through it.
symphony in provo tonight. de jong concert hall. oh joy. show manages to get through despite some technical issues. smoothed out and done.
think someone may have gotten a date out of this show.
friday.
ogden show load in. supposedly prehung, prepatched, pre-etc. well, only being all wrong counts.
patch issues. physical issues. stress issues.
show ld rather understanding and remarkably tolerant as we scramble to accomodate.
show up and ld happy when i leave to drive back to salt lake, change and get to symphony.
symphony ok. i'm not. in trouble for having a girl's # for 24 hours and not calling.
i suck.
after symphony, home. order pizza. sit on livingroom floor, eat pizza.
happy birthday to me.
saturday.
as of 1545 still haven't called. in the deep stuff now.
going for big fancy dinner. or something good will work just fine.
then symphony.
better call this girl.
report later.
i'm out.

ummm...
holy monstrosities batman. has it been forever or what.
oh well. water and bridges and spilt milk and all that.
with it being so long, and with everything that has happened in the last few months, it is difficult to know where to begin.
dive in?
ignore it?
dissect it?
so there i was just trying to live my life, then all hell breaks loose.
well it sounded good at the time.
since i last posted:
done lighting for several dance productions
run titles for an opera
executed and graded tests for the first semester of the apprentice program
got horribly sick
got reasonably better
been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea
begun the treatment for apnea
(you should see my cute little air compressor. i'll try to get a picture up soon.)
begun insomnia "help", "treatment", "counseling"... i have no idea what to call it
started the second semester of the apprentice program
(yes, the students all still hate me. i'll get over it.)
still to come in the next couple weeks:
load in another H&G
titles for a symphony version of peer gynt
load in cinderella at the opera
i'm sure there are many more things done or to do that i should list, but this will at least help give me an idea of what things i might want to talk about.
i mean it this time. my goal is to actual post on a regular basis. over the course of the next week or two, i will attempt to decide exactly what that schedule will be and how i will execute this goal.
maybe you'll actually find out what the results is.
or not.
