I was hoping to continue my recent progress toward completing the archive concert summary posts, but I'm so tired that I'm just going to make a quick note about this week and get to bed, instead.
It's been a very tiring week for me so far. With KEXP's Spring Membership Drive completed last Friday, I've been working at the station all this week, auditing the data entry. That means I've been getting up unusually early for me, at 7:30 am, in order to be there by 9:30 and put in a full 8-hour day of work. I meant to spend last week shifting my personal schedule back to rising at an earlier hour in order to ease into this schedule, but of course a combination of circumstances including work and my own night-owl tendencies foiled that intention. As it happened, I didn't get any sleep at all Friday night, which was actually a good thing for my schedule as it helped push me to get to bed earlier the rest of the weekend. But still, i'm running short on sleep and the unusual wake-up time is a bit rough on me. Naturally this would be the week that ends with the start of Daylight Saving Time.
Besides the KEXP work, I have other activities most evenings this week. Last night was trivia night at our new location, Havana up on Capitol Hill (at 10th Ave and Pike Street across from Neumos and the Comet Tavern) featuring Lucien, one of the hosts of the former BalMar trivia, as the host. Earlier this evening (meaning Wednesday) was my condo association's annual owners meeting. Tonight (Thursday the 10th, that is) I'm very excited to be going to see Pogo in concert at Chop Suey, that should be a very cool show. Friday night I've got a meet-up with a bunch of KEXP friends, and Saturday night I'm babysitting.
Next week, Monday's my last day on the KEXP project, and there's an Editors Guild meeting that night, then things are back to normal—meaning, back to having to find more work, unless some stuff happens to drop on me then. It's great to be busy right now, it'll be a drag to have too much free time again—and of course making better use of that time is one of my monthly goals—but every time I do have to keep to a regular schedule and be in an office normal business hours, I'm reminded how much I enjoy not having to do that normally, and not having to worry about whether or not I'm going to be nodding off at work.
I probably won't get back to the archive concert summaries for the next couple days because of the other things going on; maybe Saturday I can pick that back up. I am pleased though that I've made progress and I'm looking forward to being all caught up again.
