Going On
Well folks, I need some strength. My “bite off more than you can chew, then chew it” theory on life is really wearing me thin lately. Perhaps there’s a reason for it. Perhaps it’ll all pay off in the end. Or, perhaps I’m a damn fool who can’t make up his mind. (I haven’t decided which.)
Aside from drama at my j-o-b unfolding on a daily basis now, many of my favorite co-workers (and people who are very much the backbone of the resturant in its current state) are leaving. Today was JoAnna’s last day, Heather has gone to work at Penn State, and one of the only night dishwashers who was any good is done after tonight. My favorite hostess is also getting out, which brings me to the uncomfortable position of possibly finding a new j-o-b.
I’ve got some ideas, not sure how many I’ll follow through with yet, but all of them include a 20 minute commute, which isn’t too bad I suppose. I’m spoiled though, considering my current work location is a mere 4 minute drive from my apartment.
So, I’m getting ready to go in at 6 to wrap up mixing on the last two tracks of the EP “Burned (acoustic)”, and “Cry With Me (acoustic)”. This will conclude recording for these sessions, and will set us up nicely to begin working on shows, both acoustic and full blown band shows.
Still waiting on the final mixes of Wonder (full band) and Superficial Stain from Steve in Altoona.
Between work, band stuff, and managing my own finances/bills/social life I’ve had little time to fish so far this spring. I’m not complaining in terms of the band stuff. Lord knows it’s been my only relief in these tough times.
The way I see it…if I can survive this recession on my own, I’ll never have to move back home. Ever.
Please wish me luck and prayers in the upcoming times. 
Maybe I’m missing something… just because some co-workers are leaving, you have to too?
Essentially. Not just because they’re leaving, but because they are, along with me, the backbone of the resturant. In other words, in a resturant which is already starting to sink, the best, most available workers are going to be gone.
That sucks about the job, and I agree that a 20 min. drive to a new job isn’t too bad. Good luck with that, and yes I will keep you in my prayers and send you tons of good ooga booga!
This reminds me of that saying about how if all your friends jumped off a cliff, you would too. lol or something like that. You know you gotta do what you gotta do.. of course.. you’ll figure it out.
Michael, HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow honey!!! I hope it’s a great day for you; any plans?
I surfed on to the blog through this website, http://manifestopart2.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/gavin-and-gwen-fighting-over-no-doubt-tour/, where you left a comment. I’m a Gwen fan, so I liked certainly liked that opinion.
After reading your bio, I wanted to say hello. I’m a just-turned-26-year-old, have no college degree (though I did attend until this year) (and am so sick of that constant…situation to explain!), and am working toward an artistic career. I too have my tired days. I don’t have a formal blog. Are you on Twitter?
~Peace.
A little late, BUT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Michael, hope you had a wonderful day!!!
Michael it’s been awhile, and I’m worrying about you. How are things going? Are you doing all right? We miss you!
