work.work.work!

but in a good way!!

It's been nearly a month since I blogged because I have had such a full schedule learning a new job, a new company, that I come home exhausted every night! The folks at work say it takes about a year before you're fully immersed and "know everything" ... just in time for things to change :0)  Some things don't change in corporate culture! And amazingly in the first month I ran into someone who told me about the building's Stitch and B*tch Club that meets at lunch hour every week, so I have a place to actively get some of my projects done!

Sang at Temple twice, and one of those times I also read from Torah - 15 verses in Hebrew! Truly a blessing!! Was kept even busier that day because everyone was travelling (there was a conference in SoCal) so I was even asked to help with the liturgy.  So happy that I was there to take on that responsibility. One visitor to the congregation said she loved our service and was so happy and blessed that she came.

Joyce came home a couple times from her dad's, to bring stuff back and forth, so I got to meet up with her and give her mail, get iced tea and chat. I miss seeing her every day.

Shows I saw with or starring friends:  Steve and I went to the neighborhood park to usher an outdoor performance of Twelfth Night which I've never seen, and it was funny. But it got very cold so I had to leave during the second act after we had gotten all the patrons back and settled in. I also ushered a performance of 9 to 5 which had a ton of friends in the show and in the audience. I loved the part I was going to audition for; the gal who played it definitely made it her own! Caught a performance of You're a Good Man Charlie Brown with all 6 characters played by people I know! And it was a great production too. Of course!
