I've said before, I'll say it again

Trombone players are really strange around this time of year. Stupid made-up secret societies.

DAH!

I am changing jobs again, moving up to the Title company where I work. I am starting at the front desk, answer phones, order entry, etc. and the like, and there is the possibility that I will actual go somewhere in this company-- i.e., advance to more responsibilities, more money (I am extrinsically motivated). That starts on Monday. They are firing the girl that I am replacing today. Whoops. So, I'm pretty excited. Maybe I will get a raise and Jake will get a raise and then getting a house will be easier. We'll see.

Jake is off hunting this weekend. I have a dress rehearsal tonight for the concert tomorrow. This will be the first time that I have played through all the songs. Yikes. Must be what being in a professional orchestra is like, but in this, you can fuck up. I doubt you can fuck up in Chicago and be employed for long.

I purchased (with my gift certificate from Maggie, Ryan and the cats) from Amazon.com the movie Serenity, since I don't own it, and a Firefly documentary call "Done the Impossible", which based chronicles the life and death of the TV show and it's resurrection to a movie, which was something that had never been done EVER before. Fox still sucks, BTW, for cancelling it in the first place. I've been on a Firefly kick lately. The Documentary is pretty neat -- made by the fans, but narrated by Adam Baldwin and including a lot of the cast and Joss. I'm an hour through it.

In conclusion, if you haven't seen Firefly yet, you really should watch it.
I'm off to work! Okay bye.
