It’s raining, it’s pouring. Doing work at home because your head was out of the game all day is boring.

 

Today I did the unthinkable…I took work home with me. Not figuratively, I do that shit all the time, but literally. I have a big honking binder full of insurance info for long term care on my dining room table, marked and highlighted in a way i’m pretty sure my boss told me to do so. (I say pretty sure because his instructions were terribly confusing, and then I asked him to explain it a second time, and it was slightly less confusing, but I’m still rather certain that I’m doing it wrong.) In any case, I worked for a couple of hours doing what i THINK he told me to do, and now I’m done, and my head hurts.

Anyway, it’s done now, so hopefully I don’t get yelled at for being bad at something I’ve never done before.

Did I tell you guys I did two improv shows this month? and a podcast? and just got the script today for a project that I’ll tell you about when they make announcements about it in a few days? Well I did, and that’s awesome, because I was feeling pretty dead in the water when it came to performing comedy, then a rush of opportunity came upon me all at once. This is great for my confidence, since my writing goes mostly unnoticed or unread, and I need a creative outlet. It’s no excuse for my horrible lack of writing lately, but it is a nibble if not a meal.

The podcast was pretty awesome, recorded in an actual recording studio, with two very funny gentlemen whom I’ve known since I was 16. It made me, wait for it, reconsider doing standup.

“but Jady, doesn’t standup scare the shit out of you?”

Yes, but what doesn’t?

“but Jady, don’t you have horrifically low confidence in your own abilities to be funny on your own, which is why you started doing ensemble-based improv in the first place?”

Shaddup, you sickeningly accurate observer. I’m awesome.

“Awesome? or Awe-ful?”

I said quiet, you!

 

…….

 

And just like that, I’m out of things to say. A slot at an open mike is like 5 minutes, loyal reader. I better get writing on my manuscript and/or on my routine; either way, I have some work to do.

Oh, and work. I have work to work on too.

Is it seriously only Wednesday?
