Today Is History

Good morning folks! How are you on this fantastic Monday?

I spent most of the weekend suffering from a severe case of procrastination, but don't let that worry you; it just means I have a lot to do before class at 11 today, and many dishes to catch up. Nothing out of the ordinary for little ol' me.

But we're not here about me today, oh no! We're here because we want to know how YOU are! How are you? What's on your mind? Are you starting any new projects today? Finishing some old ones, maybe?

What are you up to?

"Line?"

Tonight I started a new job. It's only a week-long, and lasts from an hour to an hour and a half each evening, but it pays well, and it's probably one of the most interesting positions I've ever accepted. Coming from a man who (at last count) has held over 60 jobs, that means something. I'm not sure what it means, but something. Definitely.

I'm a line-reader. I'm helping a graduate student/actor learn her lines for a Shakespearean play in which she is taking part*. I have to correct her if she makes even the tiniest of mistakes, which means that it demands my attention at all times, but since I enjoy reading and I "get" Shakespeare, it's more enjoyable than work.

Don't tell her that, though. She might not want to pay me!

Still, pretty cool, huh? What's the neatest job you've ever held?**

*I wanted to say "play that she's part of," but felt bad slaughtering the language in such a way after mentioning The Bard.

**I'm tempted to wait until tomorrow morning to post this, because that's when I get most responses to questions like this one, but I know that if I don't do it now I'll never remember.
