OK! I have finally returned to my blog! I swear I didn't forget! Well, maybe a little.
In the last few weeks, we have:
Become increasingly busy with, and disorganized because of, our Dr Horrible play. It is an expensive and time-consuming thing to do, a play - and the easiest part is corralling people for rehearsal, which is also difficult to do. I am directing, which also means I'm the one up til midnight sewing puppets, liasing with the poster designer, creating the website, buying costumes, and yelling at Paypal because every one of their representatives has a different story and one persisted in calling me 'ma'am' just about every 5 seconds. Sigh.
Due to the massive expense of this play, I've taken on another job. I am now working security at football matches, including Celtic and Rangers. This job is an exercise in patience, confusion, and Scottish modern culture. The amount of hatred and violence seen at the football games here defies belief (and such awful cheerleading that I think I am going to start a cheer school - although I've never been a cheerleader, I do know how to teach dance, and that would be a great help locally).
Endless work, much of which has been intensely frustrating, plus I have to teach dance tonight...but have been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to hang up my poster adverts much of anywhere.
I'm telling you all - after this I really need one of those cruises. I've never worked so hard, and had so little in the bank.
On the other hand, I've found out for certain that I've graduated, so that's a huge relief! I'll have my ceremony at the end of this month - the same date the play opens, incidentally.
I'll try to update more often...I know, promises promises.
