Title: Side_show's Leisure Time
Post by: side_show on March 10, 2005, 06:15:51 pm: That's right all, since I'm working at a theatre school, and since we are closed in the summer, I am about to have three months off from work for the first time since I was 14! That's right, I have the only three months that are practically guaranteed to be snow free, from mid-June to mid-September off!

I've squirrelled enough away so that I do not need to work for July and August, but we're talking basic living expenses here, not travel-the-globe- type money. I'm a little bit scared, as, with the exception of a few long weekends I haven't had more than three days off in at least 5 years. I freaked and told my SO this morning that I was going to get a slack job at a garden centre or something just to maintain my sanity. Still, the tenative move-in date on our new house is July 1st, so I should have lots to do no matter what!

Speaking as someone who just spent way too many months without a job (although, knock on wood, it seems that this is about to end), I can say that lots of time off without a plan can get old pretty quick. But a play and a house and a big pile of books to read sounds better than a purely time-filling job. Although, I can't help thinking, if you got a part time job at the garden center, would you get a big discount on plants to plant at the new house?

Post by: side_show on March 10, 2005, 07:37:32 pm: I would assume I'd get a discount at the garden centre, hence why I thought about it this morning.

The play, if I did it would involve my friend who will be back from grad school for the summer and one of the best actors I've ever met. And a hella' work. And no money. And lots of time. And lots of fun. But we have no venue, so it may not happen. Still the Fringe is all about the beer tents at 2 am.

Post by: slink on March 10, 2005, 07:54:32 pm: I say do nothing, but wing it. If you think of something you want to do, and you have the time in between other insane schemes, and money, go do it. Just make it three months of doing what you want that you can manage. My entire life is like that most of the time...
It's like Office Space only less amusing.

So, every day is the worst day of your life?

Depends if you ask me on a day like this one or not...

Post by: miles on March 10, 2005, 10:33:26 pm: I vote for masturbation, but I like to do it in a clean environment.

Also, in those types of situations, I usually get at least a slacker job, day hours preferably, and one that lets you take time off easily with relatively short notice, with maybe a week or two of absolutely nothing to do. That way, I have time to fuck around without feeling like I am completely wasting money.

So I guess my recommendation is don't make a plan, but find a way to do something interesting and memorable. Maybe take a trip to LA, I hear it's nice down there.

Post by: V-Adore on March 16, 2005, 04:36:01 am: I love how "masturbate in own filth" and "what does 'leisure time' mean?" are running neck and neck. It's like... well, it's like college.

Post by: side_show on March 16, 2005, 02:45:31 pm: Well nothing's decided yet, so get your votes in people. If "masterbate in own filth" takes a strong enough lead, I may need some special supplies: http://www.divine-interventions.com

Post by: slink on March 16, 2005, 11:20:10 pm: I only think I know what it is, and I think now I am wrong. I thought I recognised the url from a Boing Boing ad. I don't.

Title: Side_show's Leisure Time
Post by: Nabubrush on March 21, 2005, 05:15:39 pm: Well, if you declare masturbate in own filth the winner, people are bound to want details later.
Title: Side_show's Leisure Time
Post by: side_show on June 07, 2005, 01:26:23 pm: Well - it's come 'round to that time - the time where I actually get time off for the first time in 10 years. Since it's less than to weeks til we move into the house we're having built for us, I'll not be posting again til July, once we're all moved in (but likely not unpacked).

I'll be getting internet hooked up in my house for the first time in years and years, on July 2nd! Yay! Since I've only been looking at the internet at work for the past 3 years or so, I'm looking forward to seeing all the dirty, horrible things I couldn't look at while surrounded by co-workers, and with the poll winner being what it is, I better get to work!

Good luck with the move and with getting HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY piped directly into your home.

Now is the time. Don't sqander this opportunity to do absolutely nothing.

See you on the flip side.

Also, I had to google "shade and sweet water," and have decided that it shall now be entered into my lexicon.

Googling didn't help. I gather it is some sort of elf-related greeting? Please help.

Post by: Bozack on June 07, 2005, 07:55:13 pm: I just googled to make sure she didn't just make it up on the spot. I didn't realize the elf-related nature of it. I assume it just means "I wish you well."

I am led to understand that it's ElfQuest-related as a "good travels" sort of thing. A friend of mine here used it a lot, and I found it kind of nice even if I find ElfQuest deeply corny. (Uh, no offense or anything.)
