What Not to Do

I'm sitting at day 3 of a conference for defense lawyers. I come in at 6 AM and turn on the lights. I turn them off again at 6 PM and go home. Thanks to the wifi, I have spent my time on MySpace, Facebook, online Mah Jongg, sending resumes to every job that I am in any way qualified for, making Outlook accept my email, making a light plot, reading the newspaper from cover to cover, searching youtube for more 'Kelly' videos, and placing gobo orders. I've run out of things to amuse me, and this happens a lot at these things, so that is the reason I am starting a blog. Again.....

I promise this one will work, unlike the last attempt that ended up making you angry because I abandoned it. It's not my fault I had no internet signal while the train was moving. So since that obstacle is no more, I have no excuse this time.

So the main thing on my brain right now is that I am very bored with my job. It's great because I pick when I work, and get paid pretty well for it, but it's gotten old very fast. Though the circus made me check my soul at the door, I still felt like there were at least 3 people in attendance that appreciated what I was doing. Not the case here. I think what I do is cool, and I take pride in that, so it really bothers me when people say things like "oh, I didn't even know we had lights" or "I'm sorry why are you here again?" One thing I have gotten out of the 'corporate theatre' world though, is that I am very happy that I chose to do this, and not any of the things that the clients do, such as lawyers and accountants and just plain old generic business people. I only get to experience their jobs for 2 or 3 days at a time, and it's horribly painful. Not to mention that I absolutely cannot stand going to the same building every day from 9 to 5. So maybe I have no clue where my next paycheck is coming from and how big it will be, but at least I'm in control of everything.

So as I mentioned above, I'm actively looking for new gigs. I have a few good prospects, but I'm not going to tell you what they are because I don't want anyone influencing my decision. Those of you that are around me regularly know that I want out of here, so yes, that's the direction I'm going.

Time for a Red Bull break....I'll leave you with Kelly's Shoes
