Home time. Lots and lots and lots of home time.

So I'm now spending lots of time at home. Granted I spend quite a bit of time online, but there's a lot of just sitting and moping. I've gotten a couple of resumes out, the ones that can be emailed. For most of the job postings I'm doing now, I need references with my Resume, and in addition, letters of recommendation. Those take time, especially around this stupid holiday. Oh, the references are no problem, I've had those for a few years now. Those are easy, it's getting a hold of people to write letters that's a problem, especially since one of the guys I want to write one, works at Wesleyan, and I have his office email addy; which means it'll probably be January 'til he gets the message. Oh well, it's no big time crunch, a lot of them are late January deadlines.
One of the jobs is for a ME position at NIU in DeKalb, about an hour south of where I am now. Could be sweet, but I'm really dubious that they can pay what I need. University employment would be nice, benefit wise though. We'll see. Boss-man, or ex-Boss man now, was down there schmoozing for a job the other day, and said he put a good word in for me with them. I'm already familiar with some of the bigwigs there from their summer tour shows into NAT the past two summers. But Boss always says a lot of things, and we learned to take EVERYthing he said with a grain of salt.

We got back into the theater building the other day to reclaim a bunch of our stuff. I got almost all of what I missed the last day. And a bunch more as well. Although I remembered after I got home one more thing I forgot, my dot-matrix printer for my Macs. Oh well, there will be more reclaiming days coming up. The asshole-SM asked me about the various guns from the last show. I know I put one of them in the lock box in the shop office, but he said it was gone from there. He also mentioned that the rapiers were gone from the prop room lockup. Hmmm, strange that he was looking for those. I'm glad somebody else got them. Probably somebody who can use them.

So today was a last minute shopping trip for ourselves. Wife and I splurged on a Playstation2 this year. We've been talking about it for a while, and while money is tight now, we both will probably play, and she more than me. Something else to do than watch vapid tv. of course, she's still sitting watching tv... and I worry about her agravating her carpal tunnel again. Yet another pain to make her more immobile than she already is. So the chore for me is to find excuses to get out of the house. Maybe it'll be getting out to get to a wi-fi spot. I'm tired of dial-up.

Well this has gone on long enough. I'm tired and going to get to bed. Tomorrow is a busy day.
