Finally got eight straight hours of solid sleep last night. For the past two weeks, I've been able to fall asleep right away, but I've been waking up after 5 to 7 hours and not able to fall asleep again, which would be fine for a couple of days, but after two weeks of this I've been feeling rather burnt out. I blame daylight-savings.
As part of this "Nose To The Grindstone" phase of my life, I've got myself a part-time job at a call centre. That's right, I'm working at a fricken' call centre. Not selling anything, just doing telephone surveys. It's actually not a bad gig. It's flexible so I have no problem attending auditions and doing other gigs. I just wish it paid better. I've been pulling in a fair amount of hours, but when I look at my paystubs, I think..."That's IT?" I've gotten used to a higher hourly wage over the past few years. Oh well, it pays the rent, and there isn't a lot going on audition-wise. Oddly, I'm really good at it, apparently. When I'm "monitored" by my bosses(they'll listen in on you), I get perfect scores. I suspect it's that I .....just don't care. Really, I don't care if I get fired from this gig. It's really freeing in a way. I mean, it'll do for now........
Sean and I are giving it another kick at the can. Yes I know....stop rolling your eyes. I suppose there is the possibility I may have bored some with the' sturm und drang' of him and me but....what can I say? First of all, I don't have to justify it, and also, we've had various phases over the course of our time together and 'this' time is what, I think, we've been stumbling towards. An honest go at it. We're on an even keel, and we know where we stand. Of course, we currently stand 3000 miles apart. That may be a hindrance.... or a help. Heh heh....
Seriously, it feels really good. He's coming out for a week-long visit at the end of the month. I cannot wait.
Off to work. I may be calling you later to ask your opinion of Translink. We take down all comments verbatim, so get creative, will you? I need something to entertain me at work.

So strange about the waking insomnia, because it's an epidemic. I'm beginning to think that there's a virus that causes night-waking.
If you are ever totally strapped for cash, I will pay you to babysit. I don't pay as much as the commercial work but I could probably top the call centre.
...and also go on with your bad self and HAVE that awesome relationship. Woot!
