Fill in the blanks.
I am still not entirely sure what has actually happened over the past few days. I know it involved loud music and a bottle of whiskey.

Stuff and Money
I watched George Carlin yesterday on youtube doing his routine about 'stuff'. Very apt observation as per usual from the comic.
I am skint. My wages swallowed almost entirely due to a tax error which I won't get back for 3 more weeks.
Petrol is ridiculously expensive and I resent having to pay to go to a job where they don't know what to do with me nor do they even pay me correctly. I'm so sick of the NHS.
I am fed up to the back teeth of health. Why can't I get paid to do something creative instead?
Still, my addiction to stuff means that I must keep working. The stuff I want presently include a heart rate monitor, some protein shake stuff, new darts and board also some clothes.
I can live without all of it of course. I just feel worn out with my awful employers.

Lazy Sunday
Haven't done a great deal at all today. Rehearsals went very well, almost all attended and we got through acts 1 and 2. The posh prompter made me laugh, she wouldn't say "f..f...fuck 'em all". hahaha!
The play is full of strong language, surely one cannot afford to be prudish in theatre?

Earworms
Funny how certain songs get stuck in my head. They are invariably obscure such as 'Meet James Esnor' or 'The Complete Banker'. I think that ear-worms are a benevolent form of OCD. I've developed a tendency to exercise whilst listening to folk music. I used to enjoy training to Henry Rollins, but I feel he is a bit too shouty for me right now.
Act 1 was rather too slow I'm afraid last night. We spent 2 hours on the first act alone. Of course, some of this was due to the fact that the cast have to be able to move tables/chairs quietly and into the correct positions. Nothing that cannot be overcome.
Tomorrow rehearsals are earlier than usual, I just hope that Jonathan remembers as he is clueless when it comes to time keeping.

A change in the old routine
I've decided that my diary will continue but I think I will work on post titles as the date is automatically included anyway.
Rehearsal tonight, very excited about this. I think the fact that the set is built really gives the rehearsal another dimension. I am curious to think about how the performance will look to 260 paying guests.
I'm off to see the quack later today too. Hopefully we can sort this throat/voice problem out once and for all.
I applied for a job yesterday, a job that does not exist as of yet. It wasn't some sort of existential alternate reality type of thing. No, that job went last week. Instead this is a job in sexual health, which includes mental health. Fingers crossed on that one. CV and covering letter sent off to the manager of the service so as I so often say 'We shall see".

10th March
I do not know what on Earth has happened to my last few entries. This silly Blogger is driving me crazy.
Well, the week thus far has been very up and down.
Firstly the down parts as I always like to finish on a positive!
The beginning of the week was 'mandatory training' for two whole days. The chairs were excruciatingly uncomfortable and the subjects so utterly banal. My voice disappeared again too! Doctors for me on Friday.
However, the most important thing of course is the play. The set is coming along nicely and rehearsals were really rather good. No drunkards and almost everyone seems to be turning up!! It infuriates me that people do not regularly turn up. Come on this is drama!!!
I decided to phone work and tell them I wont be in. I need to rest my voice and frankly I don't do a great deal anyway. I've applied for a post outside of the NHS which may just save my mental health. It's less money but I don't care. Less management appeals more.

Saturday 5th March
I went to the gym today, did the workout as px. This means that I was almost unable to remove my t-shirt. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. It had better be.
Voice has almost returned and it's just my sinuses that are giving me 'jip' at the moment.
Highlights of the day included 'From Paris with Love' and I completed Half-Life 2 on the x-box.
Theatre beckons tomorrow so I am very excited about having the stage once more.
