After a year

I decided it's time to get back to blogging, for my own purposes more than anything.

My New Year's Eve was great, busy with the Out Like That event, Kiss This. We had over 300 people through the door, and the staff at the Mt Tabor Legacy Theatre made it an amazing place to have an event! Even though the day/night was exhausting, I had fun. I was working there from 2pm through 3am, with 9 of those hours in costume. Phew!

I spent New Year's Day recovering and resting. With my computer recently dying from what I believe to be a static discharge that fried the power supply, I've been using a loaner desktop while mine is off to HP Repair Land... and it's an older PC that had little to no software installed, so I've been spending off time trying to both adjust back to Windows XP and get a few things installed to make it easier to get things done. That in itself is a huge task... and I do hope that my PC is returned to me with harddrive intact, but if not, I don't need the data... but the setup time is a real bitch. It's like a pair of shoes, it takes a while to get the comfy creases and wear into it.

I had my second day of work on Friday... phew. UPS is so backed up from the 'Arctic Blast 2008' that we are still delivering and holding packages from 12/22. I worked nearly 9 hours with no break nor lunch due to the incredible customer count through the door. It isn't difficult, but my body is protesting all the physicality after both being unemployed for 4 months and having desk jockey jobs for the past 11 years. But unloading and loading packages all day will be great exercise and who knows, I might get muscly!

For now, this is enough, as I have a lot to do tomorrow, including painting title signs for the burlesque show I'm emceeing on Wednesday and rehearsal for Saturday's show... and these are supposed to be my days off! I must learn to take Saturdays for myself and relax.

Today...
I learned: It might be harder to not smoke in the bar than I thought...
