run of work at Friends--starting tomorrow it will be 11 days in a row; there will be one day off on the 15th (no classes) and the next day that I am not hired as of now is the 19th---two days before Thanksgiving. CItyboy is putting himself through quite a test as he goes on this marathon---but it is important to do it. Will try to keep up this blog during this period, but other commitments may make it hard to do.
Yesterday, the morning began as usual---no work---waiting for a call. When none had come by 7, cityboy headed out for coffee, but a little after a text from one of the teachers---he was needed after all. Cityboy arrived at 10---and while waiting for his first class, buzzed around the school like a busy bee, checking in with all his future assignments---switching some around, getting some new ones,and generally moving through the school at an amazingly frenetic (in his opinion) rate. What astounded me was the different reality that cityboy creates once he is in a different environment--at Friends, everything seems to be about momentum, or at least it was yesterday morning.
Free day today---earlier in the week when I thought that Friday might be my only day of work, I figured today, Halloween, might be the perfect day to try to rush the version of Oklahoma playing at the Saint Ann's warehouse---something I would really like to see. But with the workload of the next two days staring me in the face (and some action on Saturday as well) a movie might be a better idea, and also staying on this side of the river could make more sense. Lots of movies to see, may check out the Frederick Wiseman documentary about Muncie Indiana at the Film Forum this afternoon---they have other terrific movies there as well. In addition, on Friday, at least 3 documentaries are opening---one about Callas, one about Bergman, and the Orson Welles lost film (this is not a documentary)---wow! How far can one take deja vue. Well we will see.
That is it for now, as I contemplate and plan my last day of "freedom". Will report soon
