of course I can…
there is a lot to know and/or remember, and plenty to do–but I think I can handle the new job…after my first day (today, Thursday) I went out to an O.M. and, because I agreed to, played some Who songs with some friends who were warming up for a gig that I’m not a part of…because I’m a nice guy…or a schmuck; the Who set was just OK, but it didn’t really matter, right? I’m off today (Friday) and Saturday and it is nice to NOT feel guilty about sleepin’ in late or surfing the Web or watching TV…like any other job I’ve had, it will be new, then I’ll get used to it…sooner or later, like anybody or everybody I may become way less than enamored with it…they say the thing about job hunting when ya HAVE a job is that (maybe) you can be a bit more picky ’cause yer not as desperate…Dunno how long it will take to hate it, could be a week, could be a year or longer…the trick is to get a better one FIRST, then quit the job ya don’t like…and when ya start not liking yer job so much, remember what it was like to not have it OR unemployment benefits; mine ran out 2 (or was it 3?) weeks ago…I was seriously considering selling the amp I haven’t finished paying for yet to raise cash (!) but I don’t think I have to do that…
can’t believe I’m not in bed yet, but I’m fading fast–I suspect my entire body will be hurting when I wake up…I’ll let ya know of course…
ADDENDUM-the Body doesn’t hurt much (yet) but the Inner Clock is still set to “leisure time”–that’s OK, no big deal…it took nearly 18 months to get this way, developing a “normal” schedule is gonna take time too…this minute I could hardly be happier…
