stupid normal people.

So one of my temp agencies FINALLY landed me a temp job -- it only took them like two months -- and it should last for the rest of November, right up until I got back to the Kids' Theater. Data entry, boring, but pays, so whatever. But UGH I forgot how much I hate working normal office jobs. I hate the 9-5 schedule, I hate commuting during rush hour, I hate having to dress nicely for work (at least at Big Gay NPO, I could wear jeans) and wear shoes that hurt my feet, I hate corporate culture. I'm working actually on Wall Street for the next three weeks, guys. Bah. But, y'know, income, and at least my desk is right in front of a window. And it's only for three weeks. I can handle anything for three weeks.
This does mean my time for fannish activity has shrunk drastically, of course, which makes me side-eye all my holiday exchange assignments super hard. I'm prioritizing by deadline as much as possible. I'm not even gonna THINK about Festivids until around Christmas, seriously (although I do know what song/fandom I'm vidding already). I need to do some serious revision on the Sleepy Hollow fic and then tackle Secret Mutant, and pray that somewhere in the back of my brain a Yuletide idea will germinate somehow. Although all I really want to do is finish Queen's fucking Gambit already, christ.
In the meantime, I will continue plowing through this meme.
14. If you won the lottery...
I WOULD NEVER TEMP AGAIN HAHAHAHA.
Seriously, though, it depends what kind of jackpot we're talking about here. Ten thousand dollars? Maybe make a couple of nice personal purchases and stash the rest in savings. A million dollars or more? Hire someone who knows about investments, etc, and take care of it that way, find my own one-bedroom apartment in the Village or something, and set up regular donations to a few good non-profit arts organizations. I'm lucky enough not to have any debt that needs paying off, and my only close family are my parents, who are comfortable on their own, so really, it would just give me much more freedom in terms of my career. I'd never stop working in theater, but I could take gigs depending on my interest without having to factor in the money involved. Or try to transition back into directing? I dunno. I never play the lotto, though, so it's not something I've given much thought to.
