JODI'S GOT A GUN!Holy....fucking...tired. I wish I could get a normal sleep schedule worked out....that would be awesome. Then maybe I'd be able to concentrate on whats going on. Maybe if the stupid bus strike ended I wouldn't have to be at the school every Wednesday morning at 7:30 when class starts a fucking 9!
Let's talk about the bus strike. It's not over money. It's over self scheduling. SELF SCHEDULING! HOW STUPID IS THAT!? AND to make thing even more stupid...all of the bus drivers and OC Transpo administration staff want to be compensated for lost wages once the strike is over...what about all of us? The student's, the single parents, the people who get to and from work who depend on the bus, the merchants who lost sales over the holidays because government employee's were parking at the Rideau center because they had to drive into work, and the Seniors who are pretty much housebound (which isn't all bad), shouldn't we be compensated for their ignorance? And they say they're not being greedy. I want a pony. Compared the to OC staff, that seems like a fair request. AT least it could get me too and from school...although the deep freeze we've just entered may kill it.
Yesterday's greenroom drama. This Drama is brought to you by: The Algonquin College Drama Department! Being Dramatic Isn't Just For Class Anymore! So, we're cleaning up the studio, throwing out old props and such, when Jodi finds two old water guns. first people ran around the studio and played with them, then they found rubber bands and had a rubber band war. I his in the control room from most of this. Then Jodi came out of the studio with one of the water guns. It was painted black but part of the back was broken so you could see its fluorescent green interior. Anyways, she comes out with the water gun in hand and says "who wants to play mission impossible!?!" A drama kid freaks and gets security. Jodi was asked to come out into the hall by the security guard. He scans her card because a gun was reported. She was actually threw it out. Now there is more animosity between TV and drama kids because they (this one in particular that I know) can be a little...over-dramatic.
Matt's stressed out...and he's got every right to be. He's his brother's own personal limo driver because of this stupid bus strike. This sucks. The reason is because I only get to see him once a week as it is, and usually that one day seems to coincides with his limo duties. So when this happens, he won't see me at all that day, and when that happens it fucks up my schedule, like if i planned to see him and then the next day do homework, or clean it doesn't work out. He's not very good with time management, and I'm just starting to get better. Kind of. Uhm, other reasons he's stressed....Life. That unfortunate four letter word. Last night I asked him what he thought of me...and he didn't know. I showed him Joel's answer, and he said that it seemed about right. And then we pretty much argued about how he thought I was generic. I'm not generic. I guess it kinda bugged me that he couldn't tell me what he thought of me. But it could also be a good thing.
I'm going to the newsroom for some much needed catchup sleep.
