Its time

So I don't know why this caused whatever was needed to click in my brain, however the inability to purchase a motorcycle this past weekend caused something inside of me to twist, and suddenly I see my position in life as if from an outside opinion! I see that I will not be going anywhere unless I can get some sort of applications out there, and getting my name accross. My current job is not looking like it will become full time, and to make matters more interesting, they want to keep me limited to 20 hours a week. Sorry, but I can't expect to work that little and still make a living. Sure I have two jobs, but at the coffeeshop all of the employees there are looking for hours, so those might be hard to come by. So we will see...
Anyone know any job openings?

Woot!

So I've passed 10 posts! That's pretty good I think, considering that I don't actually have Internet access at home, and I don't like getting on at work, because then my employer will be able to see what I am doing, which just isn't good.

Did you hear about the rescue of the miners in Chile? How cool is that!?! I was really pumped to hear that they had gotten rescued, and to find that they were actually televising the rescue! Having good news be the focus of a broadcast was really nice! It actually had a cheering effect on my day! Wow, people like it when they hear good news! What a strange occurance... :)

So at work I've been looking up different microphones and such, and there are a lot of good ones out there, and a lot of crap ones out there. Yes I know that money isn't everything, but sometimes a $70 microphone is just that.... I am also learning a whole lot about the sound system that we currently have, which is even better! So I am enjoying both of my current jobs, which is nice! Now if they could just pay more... Anyone need a sound engineer for anything?

Well

So I usually get online during my lunch break. Its pretty cool, because I get an hour, so I have time to eat and time to dither about on the internet before I have to get back to work. and I have someone following my blog! Which is rather exciting, so hello person! :)

So have I posted yet about the place where I work? Its a theatre, and the sound equipment works, mostly, and about half of the dimmers (things that power the lights) work. Plus whoever had my job before me was a slob, and so I have been cleaning up after them since... well, the beginning of september! Not a very good position to be in, but at least I am getting hours! And today I had to give a spiel(sp?) to a group of ladies about our upcoming theatre series, and how excited we are, and so on and such forth. I think that I fumbled through half of it, and I kept looking down (probably because I am used to addressing elementary school kids) but I think it went well overall. We'll have to see about that.... Oop, breaks over!

Yup

So I have already started lagging behind in posts. We had to watch "Cats" today in lighting class. I left after about 70 minutes, as while it was cool, it was a LOT to take in at once. I mean, I like cats as much as anyone else, but this was a bit much. So here I am posting about it. I really don't know what to ramble on about. I know that I used to ramble quite a bit on the last blog that I had, but I really have no idea what I should be or could be posting about.

But I will say that the Guatuamalan coffee that I am drinking via. French Press is rather tasty, but not very noteworthy. The same could be said for the El Salvadore that I had the week before. I wonder if my taste buds have changed so much as to not be able to differentiate between the two coffees, or the fact that both are central american, and thus have similar flavor profiles just means that I don't have quite the refined palate. Yet.
