Blogger is slow this morning
I meant to blog yesterday, but then I got distracted by the prospect of an afternoon where I could read something that had nothing to do with business school. It was amazing and lovely. I'm now half-way through Positively 5th Street: Murderers, Cheetahs, and Binion's World Series of Poker. Thus far I'd recommend it, let me see how I feel when I'm done.

Work is slow, which I'm sure you figured out since I'm blogging. The slowness was predictable-my boss is out until the new year, the boys will likely be at the shop, the students and lecturers are all gone for the quarter, and Chloe is only in part-time. So it's just me and the radiators. I'm already frustrated, however, by the applications for TV Writing: The Situation Comedy. The applications are due today, in hard copy to my office, and there is a very specific format proscribed on the application. And yet... So far this morning I've had 4 emailed to me by apologetic students who have left HP but didn't ask for permission to email their applications. And one of those wouldn't even print. Furthermore, I've seen several that are formatted incorrectly. You would think that students at the U of C would be able to read. Also, the first part of the application is a one-page writing resume. With 2 exceptions, all the applications have a one page essay instead of resume. Again...

Nothing much going on. I'm a social butterfly this week, which is very odd. Last night was Dan's concert, tonight I'm seeing Anna and then going to Showtunes, tomorrow is something I can't remember (hmm), Wednesday is the Sidetracks Christmas party, Thursday I have rehearsal and a Christmas party, Friday I rest, Saturday I take my boyfriend to the airport then get sloshed with Amanda, Sunday I shop shop shop shop, monday I pack, Tuesday I leave and have a social engagement in Boston with people I haven't seen in 12 years, and then it continues with the family thing.

So yes, I am just that popular.

I'm going back to pretending to have something to do now.
