Work and than work, work and than work. I have made six sales in seven days of working this job...I feel like I'm getting better though. However I'm not making the big money yet so I don't have enough cash to play. I've had just enough to eat but that is in large part due to dear dear friends of mine who have found it in there heart not to let a fat man miss a meal.
It is really starting ware on me. I need some fun, some drunken debauchery, some chance encounters with new people, some laughs in a setting other than work. I need to go out. I have a dinner party on sunday with a friend from out here so that may just perk me up and if it doesn't than hey...free food.
I had my orientation for the haunted house yesterday and found out that along with paying us a living wage for full time work they are also feeding us an hour before show time which is really exciting.
I got to see my room today. I am not going to be "boo" scary but I will be incredibly disgusting and disturbing. That is all I am saying until it's all said and done so you either have to come visit me for this show or you are going to have to wait till November.
It blows my mind every time I skip a few blogs and realize it's only been three days. A day in this town feels like a week. I guess that is just because of how busy I am here. I like it though, the productivity, the motivation, it's a positive influence I just need a release. I'm getting complacent and irritable and that needs to change soon.
Because I work in Times Square I can actually see the drop in tourism now that fall is here. It was pretty impressive. The city to me is taking on an entirely different atmosphere. People are starting to settle in and get ready for a winter that is alien to me. It is palatable though, the attitude shift. It isn't a bad thing, it's actually kind of nice, it makes me feel more like a New Yorker I guess.
I suppose if this where a novel now would be the time to say "I'm broke, and tired in an alien city...and it's getting cold." and than leave you with an ominous blank page but that's not the case. The winter is making me nervous but I can't live months from now. I live moment to moment here and that is what will get me through anything that comes at me.
I love you all
