And the days get longer and longer.
It’s 8:30pm right now, and I’m still at work. This is the second day I’ve had to do this so it’s starting to become a habit. I guess the good part about it is I get paid per hour and not on salary so I actually get to get paid for all the time I spend alone. And that I’m listening to Robbie Williams while I’m doing nothing but feeding a printer and getting paid to do so is quite fun. It’s hilarious at times because I’m doing something that the boss was getting her 7 year old to do, but I’m getting paid a helluva lot more than he was for doing it. And I get to update at the same time.
Marketing schemes aside, I’ve got a feeling I won’t be able to partake in the festivities that are going around. They’re doing a big giveaway and I highly doubt they’re giving their staff any of the prizes, which kind of sucks because I would love to partake. Alas…
Thursday is a Strap-On Tools show in Pickering, and I can’t go because I’ll be at Brickworks, but everyone should go because they fucking kick ass. I’ll be going to the Friday show in Toronto at the Trinport. And they’re playing Saturday in Ottawa, but I’ll be working at Buskerfest.
Yea, like I said, Saturday and Sunday is Buskerfest in Toronto this coming weekend. And I’ve been “hired” to help run unicycle workshops, and getting paid a fuckload of money. Transfering it to an hourly wage, it’sl ike 60 bucks an hour, and my earnings at the end of the weekend should be $160. I’m going to be running two 20 minute workshops per day, at 1:30 and 3:30 each day. Darren Bedford is also doing a juggling workshop so inbetween the teaching unicycling I will be able to learn how to juggle. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I’ll have at least 5 balls down. That’d kick ass.
I have a sudden urge to learn how to play the guitar well, how to play bass, and how to play the drums. I just need to convince a certain band to teach all of this to me, and I somehow hav a feeling they’re not as warm to the idea that I am. I’m not musically inclined, you see. I just want to be cool. I’m almost happy. I’m glad of that.
