You know you're a temp when...

Good news friends...I finagled another temp job! This time at another department at the company I used to work for. Yes, I'm willingly going back to the place where I spent about 18 hours in the overtime debacle mentioned in an earlier blog. This time I'll work for the fundraising office, and for those of you keeping track, this is the exact same department I worked in 4 years ago. And although it may be a bit odd to be back at a place I was a former employee, I'm really quite glad. I'm 4 years older this time, I know that my identity is not tied up with my job, and if things get crappy, I always have this forum to bitch in right?? I'm looking at this as a great thing because a) I won't be homeless and have to live on my writing partner's couch and b) it keeps me working while I wait for my next play to sell. It's all good baby!! Besides, if experience has taught me nothing, it's that some of the best comedic material comes out of my job, so I can consider this a fabulous research opportunity!

My high school friend Belenda and her sister are in town this week so in between working and acting, I'm playing tourist guide. Today we're off to Coney Island. Sign me up for some hot dogs and a ride on the ferris wheel. I know it's September 14, but it's supposed to be 85 degrees today so it will be a great beach day.

THIS is why I love my life right now...in the same post I talk about work AND going to the beach on a weekday.
