The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

the week that was...well...odd

This has been an alternating week, one bad day one good, now it appears we're back to bad, maybe not bad, but aggravating I guess.

Tuesday everything blew up, people were a pain in the ass, the University informed me I was going to wait another 4, (count 'em 4) weeks to get paid, and things in general sucked ass.

Yesterday was the polar opposite. Things went well, everything I tried to get done happened and happened pretty effortlessly. I got lumber delivered at the theatre, I got a plan formulated for the build, I had a production meeting and got all the tech stuff planned, I went to pottery class and made several bowls, I reviewed all the stuff I wanted to cover in my class last evening and made some notes to cover, When I realized I had gotten there and forgotten my book I went to the office and found one almost right away..it was pretty great.

Today on the other hand, so far, grrr. I needed to tf some $ and make the car payment cause this one's on me since the university pay system is fucked, much like the university. Then I discovered that Chrysler financial, (assholes) have redesigned their website and I have to re-register,after 2 fucking years with them, to give them several hundred dollars of my money. It was not easy and I wound up calling some kid in Bhopal to get some info on how to get it done, which I could barely understand. Also pissed me off.

Then I discovered there are other $ issues this week. Nothing catastrophic but enough to make me go "fuck it."

Then I called to find out when I'll be getting some funds I'm expecting from my former employer and they informed me it''d be at least another week maybe two. Joy.

So I guess an up/down week is in the cards for me. I may as well get used to it.

On a good note I found a blog I like that I thought the owners had closed. Well, they had but they moved to a new provider and resumed posting. I was glad to see Steve and Warren back. Their lives aren't much more exciting than mine but it's nice to know they're out there.

I found them when I was investigating the area they live in while considering applying for a job. I didn't get the job, which is probably ok, since they live in the fucking north woods and I'd have been dealing with snow a lot more than I am used to, which we know I do not love. But I've kept up with their blog.

Today I'm taking it easy, only working one job, keeping one appt and then relaxing this evening. God that sounds almost intimidating I get to do it so rarely these days.

And it's about to be even more rare for a few weeks. I'll be giving my only day off to the show the next three weeks. If I make it through the academic year with these idiots it'll be a miracle. I've already been insubordinate with the Dean, and the future holds no promise for our relationship.

And so it goes:

Love
