I am so glad it the weekend for me. It was a very stress filled week. There is just a different dynamic in the office with all the financial pressure we are going through. But even with all the pressure I still have an amazing peace. That is really empowering. Everything is coming to a head with the opening ceremony of the Shipping port next week. Because the King is coming there are a lot of detailed preparations to be done. I thought I was done with the deadlines, but no. There are still changes to be made. These people are sure waiting to the last minute to be giving me more changes. I think come next week, I’ll be able to breathe a big sigh of relief when it is all finally over and done with. It was my son’s birthday yesterday. I tried calling 4 or 5 times but couldn’t get through. Its very frustrating. Since his birthday fell on our improv night, I had my crew improvise a scene about preparing for Max’s birthday. They I had them lead the crowd in a song of Happy Birthday. I recorded it so I could send it to him. I think it will make him feel pretty special. He’s a great kid. I do miss him so. Im going to be back there in two weeks, so I’ll be able to see him then.

It was a very tough day at work today. I keep wondering how long these tough days are going to last. I had a bout a year of loving my job but lately it feels like work. Im still very good at what I do. But I just need a break. I don’t think I’ve been sleeping as much I should. Its starting to take it toll. Im so out of routine, and I need routine especially with the exercise part. The strangest thing happened. I was sitting with the client and we were making a bunch of changes to a video that was being cut down from 12 minutes to 7 minutes. I was making so many intricate 15 step changes that I just got confused right in the midst of it. Its like playing a game of chess and you are ten moves out in your head then you just go blank. So I went blank for about five minutes, that is embarrassing when you are with a client. But eventually we got back on track. I have been just expending so much mental energy at work lately. It has felt like a job…finally. That’s why Im so glad the weekend is here, yet I do have to work a lot this weekend.
I was invited out to a comedy show at the Irish Pub tonight. Im really becoming quite good friends with Tariq, Muneer, and Nabs, three of my actors for our Funniest Person Contest. Tariq won last night. So we wanted to check out these two professional comics from the UK. Their stand up routines were OK…but their improv was only adequate. At the end of their set, I was thinking, is that all? I got really excited after that. Our show is head and shoulders above theirs…and they are good professional comics from London. It has less to do with their talent and more to do with ours. I did a quick straw poll and I asked everyone to be honest and they all preferred our show to theirs. That made me feel great.
