I guess I took a bit of a hiatus there....

Hello my Blogger friends! My apologies for not blogging in the past month. It truly has been super hectic here for me, but, I think I'm handlng everything quite well. I started a second job a couple weeks ago..so I am now a baker. I still cook at the Zoo..and my boss has given me a few catering jobs to do for her. Although these jobs are in no way whatsoever related to theatre, I thouroughly enjoy working at my jobs, and I'm happy to report that I'm making almost as much money here per month as I would had I gone to the oil patch as a medic. Plus my social ife has improved slightly.. I say slightly because I'm working an average of 12+ hrs a day with the 2 jobs. I do get to go out on occasion with friends..I might play a board game one night or go to the movies or mini golf another night. Its been great.
Of course it is difficult to witness things here that are virtually non existent out in Ontario. For instance, across the street where I work is where the bad section of town starts, complete with prostitutes and poorly dressed young men slouching up against buildings, or worse patrolling their side of the street, intimidating passersby, which inevitably results in the Lethbridge police stoppng by to clear the area. Apparantly these downtown crowds are severely addicted to crack cocaine, alcohol..anything that'll get them high. Some prostitutes have to make 400+ a day to feed their habit. And they all look like hell. But at least they stay on their side of the street..its rare that they bother people in the nice area.
Another thing that takes getting used to is seeing ambulances, or fire trucks, or the police rushing to one accident or altercation. I'm so used to it being completely silent, with only the chirps or calls from various forms of wildlife. I guess its a different type of jungle out here.
Still another thing is that everyone (except me) have cellphones. I need to get me one soon. Mainly for security..I should have a phone in case of emergencies. I should get one soon..tho I don't care much for the phones with all the bells and whistles. And I don't give a shit about text messaging. I just think its stupid to waste more time punching your phone keys sending a text message, when you could get thejob doe much faster by just calling your buddy. So I don't care to have something like that. Plus I need to get a good plan. When I get a freakin day off, I got a lot of things I need to get.
I have to get going right now, but I will blog sooner, and fill you in on more of my life here in the coulees. Oh, and thanks to all who've read my blogs in the past couple of years. Hope all is well with you. Send me a comment and let me know how lifes beentreating you. Until next time.....
