Work, kiddo and vampires...
Work is really taking up all the energy I have, no joke.
And apparently I got a second job. Of sorts, anyway. I've ended up talking on the local Radio during the Panel of Culture. Where we discuss various cultural things live on the air. Can get really interesting sometimes when I don't know anything about the subject even if I do read up on it online. So it's fun, it's interesting... AND I get paid! :-D Win-win!
At work it's... well, it is what it is. It's not silent, that's for sure. The loud teens make my head SO TIRED! So it's not unusual that I yawn or zoon out a bit during the day, because MAN! And let's not even starting on the list off names I'm being called on a daily basis. Siriously. These teens claim they need to have RESPECT! Well, you act like this, you don't desrve respect dammit!
I will admit though that after refurnishing the library things have calmed down considerably. It really has. So even though it's not quite or calm as in other libraries, I'd still call that a success. :-)
A less successful thing is the mornings I keep having with Alexandra, my dear daughter of mine. She's turning five in August. So she's in this period of wanting to do everything herself, and... that doesn't always work out so great. So to say she is SLOOOOOOW in the mornings is an understatement. Now I've even started to wake her just a lil earlier to give us more time, and it STILL takes us more than half an hour sometimes.
And what with the changes to the bus traffic, this makes me late to work. Nearly every single day. I am just SO FRUSTRATED with her right now! Especially her socks. OMG! She can poke around and pull around with them for SO LONG, it makes me want to tear hairs out of my scalp!
So there's that... :-P
I'd slacked a bit on the LARP front lately, even though I have picked it up again after being away for so long what with my broken leg. I do follow one of my LARP-friends on Tumblr though (he is doing AMAZING cosplay!), and I get notifications for his posts on my phone. Got one of them one day and lo and behold. It's a piece of art. A portrait of three vampire ladies. That I know very well, because it's three characters a friend of mine played/plays and I've been LARPing with her since 2001... Two of her previous characters and the current one.
And that piece of art is AMAZING! It's drawn/painted by another young LARP friend of mine, and I knew she was good... Now I know she's very VERY good! And I feel tempted to ask her to draw my current character to, because holy hell! She's amazing!

Can see why I want her to do my character to, don't you? :-D So tempted... You have to go check out the rest of her stuff! She is REALLY REALLY GOOD! I even signed up to be her patreon! (I wonder if she knows that nickname is me...)
I'm glad I've gotten my creative juices flowing with the LARP again though. It IS a beloved hobby of mine, and I won't stop any time soon. :-) On Saturday night it's my turn again, which will be awesome! But the best part for a working mom though is... I get TWO SLEEP IN'S!!! Oh, bliss... I can't wait. :-D

So cool about your new job and that you get the opportunity to do that!
I don't miss that part of parenting at all. I would be frazzled mess because here, if you are consistently late, you just get fired. I was always yelling at the kids in the morning. :(

New job wasn't planned! *LOL* After the Trump-debacle, they wanted me to be on that show as, what I thought, was a one time thing. But apparently I did such a good job, I am now there on a moderate regular basis. *LOL* It's a lot of fun, and doesn't take up to much of my time. :-) About every other Wedneysday or so for 30 mins, so it's not bad.
Some days Alexandra is not that slow, but other days... Man... Waking her up at 5:55. And she's not done and we're out the door until 6:45... that's SLOW!!! And makes me late for work. Happens a bit to often, to be honest. Especially when I have classes in the morning. :-P

Funny how something so random and completely unexpected could lead to a new job you'd have never thought of before!

And yeah, talking on the radio was not a job I had thought of really... X-D But apparently I had a knack for it, who knew? *LOL*

And my LARP-friend is VERY talented! Those three characters are played by the same person, which you can see... but you can ALSO see that it IS three characters! I think that takes a lot of skill!
