... to develop a three week production and recreation schedule that can work with a two week pay cycle.
To clarify : Work is a three week rotation and has been for a very long time - five on, two off, four on, one off, seven on, three off, repeat. Pay is fortnightly. The "offs" are nice, but that "seven on" ? That Monday is BRUTAL.
I need to figure out how I can meaningfully augment that subsistence wage and continue to make meaningful, non-glacial progress on ATC.
Ram-assing around like I have been for the past ten years has resulted in incremental progress... but also an unclean floor, wearing dirty laundry all too frequently, and a massive email inbox, months and in some cases over a year old, that I still need to catch up on.
Might want to add blogging and DCR to that never-ending list of things I don't do enough of. Two comics projects stopped to redo the only thing I've ever actually finished, a basket of pushing-30, haven't-had-a-date-in-five-years neuroses, and a partridge in a pear tree.
In other news, the main drag of Bloomfield may not be very exciting, but it smells great.
It did today, anyway.
Postscript:
168 - week
===============================
49 - sleep (average, typically 48-54)
40 - work (37.5 paid)
5 - work commute, rounded up
11 (approx) "wind down" time (now)
5 - wake up time (work, unpaid - shower, packing lunch, etc)
5 (approx, depends) - chores (groceries, laundry, booze)
===============================
6-20 - "going out" (time in theater plus transit plus "drunk dialing")
===============================
33-47 - time for art (ATC, freelance, other), eating, smoking, masturbating*, watching TV, spending too much time alone, everything people call "life."**
If only I could buy groceries and do laundry through amazon. :P And by groceries I mean deli - I don't see half a pound of beef getting to my doorstep in useable condition, even with a Prime membership.
* That's technically filed under wind down time. But, yanno... sometimes I'm feelin' saucy.
** I may have more "free time" than you do right now Dad, but I'd kill for some OT. I won't trade you commutes, but I do envy your paycheck.
