So in the few hours of sleep I had last night, I had a very weird dream. In the dream, I was told by a friend of mine that I'm not taking enough vitamins, so I get this jar of vitamins, the picture on the front shows that the pills are really small, but when I pour them into my hand, they're these big gamer dice, d8, d10, d12, d20. So I swallow them (I needed vitamins after all) and they block my windpipe. So I wake up all scared and coughing... It was so not cool.

Wrapped up a semi productive day at work yesterday with a call from a client in Japan who was seriously unhappy with us. The day started out with having to reinstall IE, twice, because it broke every time I tried to pull up the trouble ticket system for work (the promary thing I use to get stuff done). But, after all was fixed I was able to address quite a few issues.

The suspense is killing me here at work. I am pretty sure that this job will be going away soon, really soon. All of the signs are there, and the first shoe dropped about a week ago as a sign of things to come. Things are being restructured, reorganized, and the Los Angeles group has been left out of future planning and decision making. It's fairly disconcerting. I'm just working hard until they tell me not to, and am having my employees do the same. However, it is difficult keeping your direct reports busy, working hard, and motivated, when you recently brought them into a meeting to communicate the potential bleakness of their employment. Not definate bleakness, but potential bleakness is bad enough.

So, other than bleakness, not doing too bad. I didn't get to work on my oil painting too much this weekend, left it outside while it was sprinkling accidentally, but it didn't get harmed. Went to a LARP that lasted from 1 pm to 5 am the next day. For the most part, it was really fun and I was pretty involved, but it really does come to a point where it simply boggles the mind how people can't just call game and continue another time. It was fun altogether.

I want to see Spirited Away this week. I want to go to Knott's Scary Farm too, but that might wait another couple of weeks. I saw "Sweet Home Alabama" Sunday, it was cool. It helped me get away from spending many hours trying to research resume building from resume sites and examples. I've had pretty steady work for a long time, so the potential concept of having to be out looking again makes me nervous. My first job opportunity when I started college lasted beyond graduation, and my first job opportunity right after that has evolved into what I do now. I can count the number of interviews that I have had on one hand.

So I have tickets for Mamma Mia tonight. It is a musical that is mostly tied into ABBA songs. I've never been a real big ABBA fan, but this was huge last time it was in LA, and was apparently the second hardest ticket to get while in New York (the first most popular being The Producers which I saw. :) Looking forward to it.

Speaking of The Producers, I've already got tickets to the Los Angeles show. They're on sale right now. The actors who have taken the place of Broadway's Nathan Lane (who is awesome on stage) and Matthew Brodrick (very polished, not a stranger to Broadway at all) are Jason Alexander and Martin Short. Now, I've seen Jason Alexander sing, and am pretty sure he can pull off the role of Max Bialystock that Lane perfected, but I am not sure that Martin Short can pull off the understated and odd humor of the character Leo Bloom that Matthew Brodrick played. It's difficult for me to see Martin Short being reigned in to be understated with anything. But tuthfully, I'm sure it will be a wonderful show.

I want to go to Lion King before it goes away. It doesn't have very much more time in LA.

*Sigh* So many things that I want to do, so many expenses. Doesn't mix well with employment worry but whatcha gonna do... :)
