still home

things around here are less boring, but seemingly still not exciting. I am now working at a dr.s office, making calls to those people who have not brought their children in recently for their annual physicals. When I'm not working there, I've been lounging and practicing, and trying to make anything work on one of the two computers now at the house (my laptop and our home computer). Alas, I feel as though I have computer virusues living at the tips of my fingers, waiting to slow down the already atrocious dial-up connection we have here. It's been particularly painful because I left a few installation CDs and my camera cable back in Bloomington, and after having that horrible hijacker and completely erasing and reinstalling windows on my laptop, I haven't got many interesting things to work with.

So, things I've noticed here in poughkeepsie:

-performing for a group of older jewish ladies can be fun and rewarding. Dodef and I did a 30 minute concert on Monday for a fundraiser, and it was great. Picture should be on the blog if I can make it through the arduous downloading process.

-driving places in poughkeepsie takes about twice as long as in Bloomington, due to the fact that Bloomington is just so compact.

-I don't really know too many people that still live in Poughkeepsie--thank god for mom, Leanne, and even Buttons, my sweet and cuddly bichon.

-working in an office again is like working in an office again. the situation always seems to be the same, no matter where I am and what I'm doing.

-getting up at 7am during the summer sort of stinks.

-having wednesdays off is awesome, unless you use the whole day doing chores and cursing at a computer screen.

that's enough noticing for now. I'll be at work in 9 hours, prepping to make another 100 calls before lunchtime rolls around. All for a measley $7-something an hour. Woohoo :)

Nighty night!
