The clouds are brewing...

I am looking South from a window in the Second City Training Center offices.

I have been watching the sky over Chicago change color. The clouds are lowering onto the Sears Tower and the Hancock Building.

A hard rain is just beginning to cut through the air and pummel the windows, and the lights just flickered a second after the thunder and lightning flashed.

The clouds are billowing out like a boiling pot of lentil soup as they swirl around the Chicago skyline, and daylight is slipping away as the windows lit in office buildings seem to appear out of nowhere.

A thought appears in my head, "A much needed win for the Cubs will likely be called today"

A second thought has overshadowed the postponed baseball game, "What a fucking stupid week to purchase a bike, Dave, fucking stupid. Why the hell would you chance riding your fucking bike three and a half miles when you knew it might rain. Oh, no, Dave, you are such a fucking idiot. You thought you could fucking beat Mother Nature? Are you fucking serious? You don't even have a fucking fender on your bike. What the fuck? Even if it stops this biblical rainfall before you leave, your ass is going to be soaked by the time you get to Wrigleyville. There is a god-damned waterfall running down the window in front of you right now, and you didn't even bring your fucking bike seat in with you, because you are a moron. The Sears Tower just fucking disappeared from sight because it's raining so hard... What's that sound? Hail? Fuck me. Seriously? Hail? Where the hell did the Hancock Building go? Gone? Gone? Yup. Gone. Stupid Dave. Stupid freaking Dave.

"You are a moron among morons, Dave, a fucking King of the Idiots, a turd among men...

summer 2009, quitting?

I am looking forward to my first summer in Chicago, and a few weeks ago, I realized that I had spread myself too thin.

The Music Box needs some more of my time, the Museum is getting to be more of a chore than a joy, and all together I work 70+ hours a week, plus my internship, plus rehearsals, plus class... there is just no more time.

So, I have talked to one of my bosses about taking on a little more at the Music Box so as to get some more revenue for the theatre, get me some more evening time free, and supplement my income that I loose when i quit working at the Museum of Science and Industry.

Although I like MSI, I need to focus on why I moved to chicago and spend more time on this little jewel I found within the Music Box Theatre. This is not why I moved here, but I have to jump into it more while balancing my life and the reasons why I did move here.

So, I quit MSI, wow.

In the last year I have quit three jobs, that;s pretty amazing.
