Back to the crunch

Wow, today really crept up on me. My much-needed week (well, four days) of not having anywhere to be in the evenings has absolutely flown by, and now I have my second and final weekend of performances for Macbeth. Today is going to be a pain, pretty much as soon as I'm out of work I'll have to bolt down some lunch and make that damned drive up to Duxbury. Tonight will be rough, but at least Saturday and Sunday will be nicer. Tomorrow night will be the cast party, which will be at the stage manager's family's pool. I am looking forward to that, possibly because my vanity desires to look ridiculously hot in my bikini after looking like a sixteen-year-old boy in front of them for a couple weeks now. And on Sunday, my big crowd of lovely friends will be picnicking at the park that day through the time of the show. We're going to bring a grill and food and stuff, then they're all going to see the play. It will be lovely, and I'm very glad they're all coming. You totally should too, if you aren't already. :-) Contact me, and we'll work you into the plan.


 

Office Supplies

So, at my silly temporary office job at this non-profit in Newton, one of my recent (few) responsibilities was to organize the office supplies in the filing cabinet in my little office. I actually kind of enjoyed it, I'm good at organizing and it let my brain wander. Through the process I discovered there was an enormous amount of extra, well, everything-- so much so that buying any more of a number of things would be a total waste of money. Makes me wish I were more inclined to steal office supplies. But, being me, I couldn't just TELL my coworkers this. I wrote a humorous e-mail informing them of the various ways I would use these office supplies if they insisted on buying more of them.

I was a bit concerned whether it was over the line for a brand-new temp, but I figured what the hell. It's the most fun I've had since I started.

I hope they do not interpet this as "Clearly the temp needs more work to do." Though it probably is true.

 

Regarding my e-mail

Heh. So one lady in my office thought it was funny. Ah, validation, she is sweet.

Instructions: Look at the list and put an X after those you have read.

( These are a hundred books I should have read? )

Wow, stupid score. But frankly, I find this a very suspect list. I consider myself to be fairly well-read. Perhaps I'll make my own.
