Dear Avid Readers, seriously, my bad. It's been forever since I've posted, but if it makes you feel any better my life has been turned topsy turvey this last month, hence the lack of posts. First and foremost I finally quit my job. Although I sometimes get that pit in my stomach like "what the hell am I doing with my life and why would ANYONE ever quit their 6 figure job cuz they hate their boss" feeling, I have to take a breath and realize that there is no amount of money that can make up for being happy and I might always complain about my job, but I never want to feel like a job could be the absolute death of me. So, here I am jobless and trying to figure out where to go from here.
With that being said, the first thing I did as a poor-unemployed tax payer I hosted a beer drive. What is a Beer Drive, you ask. Well it is something along the lines of...
Dear Friends and Family as some of you may know, as of Sunday night I will officially be unemployed. Having said so, I spent a majority of the weekend contemplating my life and separating things into...1. Needs and2. Wantsfor example, I really want a winning lottery ticket, but need enough for rent and food. I really want a Princess gown, but need enough to be presentable when purchasing such rent and food. With that being said, I realized that I needed to host a Drive for the things that I need. Therefore, please join me in a Happy Hour Beer Drive where you, the donor, buy me, the cause, beer/liquor/wine/shot or a combination of all of the above. I shall pick up my last paycheck at about 6:00 pm and will head directly over.Thanks again, in advance, for your generosity and kindness...I look forward to seeing you there. Please feel free to pass the good word along to all friends and family I have missed.****non-perishable food items unnecessary******
It was super fun and I had friends from all of my past and present who showed up to support the fact that I am currently jobless and it was great!
I spent Memorial Day weekend with a friend who I ran into in NYC who I went to NNHS with. It was the most random of randoms. but since we've run into each other we've hung out quite a bit and it's funny how someone whom I never really even spoke with in high school is someone I totally have fun with. It goes to show that everyone deserves at least a chance to show their super great qualities. Anyways, she invited me to a friends bbq for Memorial Day adn we ate amazing food (some of the people there were professional chefs and also oyster dealers) so as you can imagine we ate very very well. Besides that, the girls team (+1 boy) won in whiffle ball!
Vanessa and I met up when she returned from her trip to China and we decided to rip up and bite the heads off of all her China money....so we did! it was actually very therapeutic and I will try to do that more often
These are some of my previous students at AMDA who are absolutely amazing students and it makes me miss students who were smart, driven, and have a deep sense of work ethic...with that being said, In The Heights, won for best musical at the Tony's tonight, and the male lead in show is an alumni of my previous school which in some sense makes me proud.
So that's whats happening with me, I have to figure out what I want to do with my life, but until then I am trying to enjoy the fact that I am jobless and have all this time to really relax and chill!
