Uggh

I want to write about the past week or so, but I am so tired. I think I'm coming down with the flu. Maybe after I sleep in tomorrow I'll be up for it.

Worky Work Work

Lately I have been to tired to blog. The show has started, and the day job has really picked up.

I don't even feel like writing right now. But here goes...

I recommended Blythe for the internship at the Academy, and she got it! Today was her first day.

My volunteer crew is NOT coming together. I hope I get some good hits tomorrow. Speaking of which, I need to check my work e-mail.

And tomorrow is 2 job day.

Ugh.

Work and Weekend fun

I'm starting to see the fun side of interviewing lots and lots of people. I can tell the same jokes over and over again, and they always get a laugh!
There was one person who didn't laugh. Maybe I shouldn't hire her? Haha just kidding she'll probably be coming aboard.

I also got word that we are likely adding a whole bunch of new volunteer positions, so I now have to hire a much bigger staff. Sounds like it'll be interesting.

After work, the guys cancelled their visit yet again. But Stokes came over anyway and we went to see The Informant at Silvercity. It was good, but the advertisement campaign didn't do it justice. They used one style of jokes for the previews and not the majority of the film. It isn't just a comedic film, there's much more to it. Very Steven Sodobourgh (I just know I spelled that wrong). Matt Damon was pretty good, and I was happy to see Tony Hale and Patton Oswalt in it. To me, Matt Damon was like a much more stupid Leonardo Dicaprio in Catch Me If You Can. His character was great. Particularly his 90s glasses made me laugh.

Life's Small Pleasures

Got the mail minutes before the rain started. Its nice because I just did my hair.

Something small to smile about :)

What's a Twit?

In my opinion, all of these networking pages are getting out of control. They're definitely useful, I even use facebook to advertise my shows, but the sellling point for each one is something kinda lame, just differently lame from the one that came before.

Twitter seems like a waste of time to me. I am holding out on getting it for as long as I can. If I ever did get it, I would only use it for work. So I likely will never have it.

Facebook is trying to keep up by being like Twitter, but that's just making Facebook crappier. I don't care about status updates. I use facebook to keep in touch, share group photos, and create group invites more easily than e-mail for calling people.

I don't even know what flickr is.

I have an addiction...

Amazon.ca

Its sick, really.

But I got some more good discounts. The full soundtrack to the 2004 film Phantom of the Opera was $14.99 (39.99 in stores), and I got a book I've been looking for. Literally, it cost only 1 cent! That just fuels my addiction :p.

Yawn...

Without my morning carpool, mornings are a real pain in the ass. I am shocked that I can still move.

Interviews today went well. Three people didn't show up (don't confirm the interview if you're not coming!) but everyone that did come was cool. I'm hiring most of them. They all loved the fact that we had a dog in the office. One of my co-workers Liz likes to bring her dog Sammy into the office, and she is such a friendly little dog. She kept the applicants busy while they waited, or so I hear.

Plans this weekend: both Laura and the guys want to hang out, we'll see who actually makes it over. My friends are procrastinators supreme.
