I'm still querying the decision, and am going to try to go on in Saturday for a few hours to see what it looks like from the other side. Scary. So, so scary. But is it scarier than staying here and wasting good hours of my life without work that excites and interests me? Possibly not. I would miss the free plays and the interesting events we put on. Though I wouldn't miss the forced socializing (though that's not terribly frequent and I am getting to know people better). There are exciting things in the future at the theatre--bringing on board a whole new client database; refining the communications I finally have a good understanding of; new leadership has brought about more clarification, though I often feel like my brain's a bit muddy when I try to tell people about what we do. Who knows. It's time to stop talking about it at the moment. Tonight I'm going to see one of our plays, Zebra!. It's set in an Irish bar in New York City. Two middle-aged men are meeting; one is the father, the other is the daughter's boyfriend. Remember the Aussie bartender in the movie Cocktail? That's Bryan Brown. He plays the daughter's Australian boyfriend. It sold out in far less time than it took Uncle Vanya to sell out last year (and that had C in it, along with a brilliant and very famous Australian cast). I'm looking forward to sitting in a theatre and zoning out for two hours. Being distracted from the massive decision at hand.
A new books list
It's been a while since I posted a reading list, but here are the books that have occupied my spare time lately: Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann Chocolate Wars: From Cadbury to Kraft: 200 Years of Sweet Success and Bitter Rivalry by Deborah Cadbury (I really enjoyed this one. It gives great context on the moral values that used to exist in business and how those morals have quickly dissolved. It also talks about chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. How could I not love it?) How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life by the Dalai Lama The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ,by Stieg Larsson (Really sick of reading about horrific rape and murders...I will not continue with this series) Pen/O. Henry Prize Stories 2010 --this was one of the best and most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. My reading is quite scattergun, and my tendency is to jump between four to five books at a time. This book sat by my bedside for the past eight months, filling the gaps between ...
