/me cries September 23, 2008

So this job is kicking my ass. Most days on this show the call time is 6 AM, which means 5:30 AM really, in order to get breakfast and for work we have to do before the call time. I have actual work to do before the day “officially” starts, and on this job I don’t get paid for it either. But I do get breakfast.

But none of that is as important as this: I am getting up at 4:45 AM. Hello!! I mean, this is me, Queen Night Owl. Heck there are plenty of nights when I don’t get to bed until that time!

I’ve been extra tired because my feet have been *KILLING ME*. It’s my arches, they just hurt and hurt….if I’m walking it’s not as bad, but the standing. in. place. I had to run errands for new shoes and extra gel insoles and more work-like clothes on my (only) day off on Sunday.

So I had 0 relaxation time on my only day off on Sunday; logged on for like 5 minutes to pay rent and clear my incomings. I started to read the blogs but it only made it worse! As in, I miss everybody and hanging out and hump day parties and blogging (OK I have been shite at blogging, and completely snooze-worthy to boot). I was doing OK in deaf-n-dumb mode, where I’d just catch up when the job was done but I got a few minutes and started reading blogs…. /me cries.

I feel like I’ve been in “barely” checking in mode on Second Life in forever. I had a brief respite after Burning Man before this job started but it was too brief.

Anyway, I might *might* be able to make it to the Hump day party this week. Yay! And I see from my limited blog scan it’s Asian themed (yay eaaasy for me) and Sai is hosting at her store (above her store?) I guess I’ll firgure it out if I get home & done with dinner at a decent hour.

After I’m done with this job I can even volunteer to have the party at my place! (after whomever is already hostess-waiting-in-the-wings, of course….

Anyway….this post is really just….I miss you guys

See ya soon!

More back and I’m 2 September 11, 2008

More back than before, but still not 100%. Mostly because we booked a 3 week RL job that starts Monday (OK, technically tomorrow) and I’ve been doing a whole lotta nothing cept resting up and pokin n prodding around SL some.

But I did get a plot of land and have been working on a build for Burning Life. Even though it officially doesn’t open until Sept 27, I’ll be working 6 day weeks, 12+ hours a day until then so I need to finish it up mostly this weekend. Wow, look at me talk like someone who’s gainfully (if only temporarily) employed.

So yes this new job (only 3 weeks) will put a serious damper on my SL time. But I’m sure I’ll log in every night at least for a bit, if I don’t fall asleep from exhaustion the second I get home. Did I mention it’s a golf movie? Sure to help shed some of my enlarging arse. [Edit: the job is working on set, camera department this time, of a little indie movie. I forget who knows and who doesnt know what I do for RL work, but I can do lots of different jobs so sometimes I can't even keep track myself!]

And OMG I almost forgot, today is my rez day. Yes, my rezz day is 9/11. Techincally my rez day is even the 5th anniversary (9/11/2006). Which at the time had nothing to do with checking out SL, but is a reminder every year, and feels wierd to celebrate. And this year I nearly forgotted!

/me blows out 2 candles and passes out cake and ice cream

Baaaack September 6, 2008

Ok, actually been back a few days but it takes just about as long to unwind and adjust back to “default world” as it does to prepare to go. Not that I’ve hardly even started laundry or unpacking yet…

More soon as I decompress. I might even make it in-world today finally.
