Summertime Schedule

Well, I think this is the first time in a long time that I have not to wake up by a certain time, or to be somewhere by a certain time! It feels good, and I think maybe that I should not get to liking this too much! LOL. I was able to visit with a friend online that I have not talked to in ages. We shared some pictures, and just chatted and talked for a minute. He had made prior plans with another friend, and was heading out for a fishing trip with his buds! I am glad that he was able to take a few minutes for me! I think its what I needed, no doubt! I am feeling good and relaxed!


Within this past month, Alcatraz has gone to the Summer Time Schedule, and each of us, has to rearrange out work schedule. Two days, in at 8:45 to 4:45 and the other three days we go in 10:30 to 6:30. It makes a later day but Its all good! I feel as if I am still trying to adjust to the couple hours of difference in the time of the day.

This past week, it just seemed so long, I was really looking forward to just hang out at the house! As well, I also started up a couple other things in Event Staff, and also the concerts at Shoreline are starting to happen. I did (ushered) for the KISS FM 'Old School Fiesta', about mid May, and event staffed for the San Jose University Graduations. Not Bad, I figure.. with concerts coming up more in July, Aug, ... and So on...at Shoreline, that I have been kind of prepping myself physically. so that I can do the concerts on my weekends away from the Island!

There are a couple shows that I am getting excited about and that would be for Police, and Guest Elvis Costello. Counting Crows, oh yes, the Crue Fest! And we Cannot forget about Stevie Wonder!! Yes, All this talent and more.., is enough to get yourself 'prepped' to do!! Anyways, Ima justa chilling today... cuz it is So HOT here!

PEACE!

Hello World!

Well, yes, its been an interesting couple of months!! I went to work, the last time I posted here on this blogg, and during lunch time, I received a phone call from brother! Yea, I was informed that my cousin had passed away.. he was just six months older than me, and we kinda grew up together! I have been sick.. as well, With just Sinus stuff,,, and well, the last time I posted on here, was the day of his wake, now that I am thinking about it! I was not told that he had Hep C, until after all that!
Was that the reason I was supposed to try keep up with the chat group, Carol?? Hee Hee! I know that I did not want to just post about the dilemnas that I may be going through! I mean, with that... and other things... it just seems like... Goodness, we should not be just dwell on the things that we think that we cannot handle!

During that time, though.. even as I read what I have written, that was all that was really happening to me! In the past three weeks, I have been at work.. I have gone to work every day that I am supposed to! Yea... NO dilemnas, not too bad... I am now able to travel on my commute by train!! Wheeeeee! Yes, a very simple thing to most people, well, seemed like such a chore! I hated that... I know that I enjoy my job on Alcatraz Island... I enjoy the serenity, the peacefulness (yes, even with all the tourist!)the beauty of the Island! I also enjoy the people that I meet, even though, it may be for a second, or a minute, I see the intrigue, and learning experience that the visitors have had! I look forward to my boat ride in the mornings!

Now.. Yet another season is coming upon the horizon! Yep...The Summer! Means Shoreline and the concert schedule for this year! Its starting to happen! I am getting excited, and am ready to book my first concert for the Season! Oh yea, but we must go and update our information with the theater!! ::) That will be on Saturday.. and living less than 10 (ten) miles from the theater! To me, 10 miles is nothing, compared to the 40 that I travel to Alcatraz! I did it last year.. when I lived in the City... and made it to work.. So, I am sure that I can handle the little ride after the concerts! I am really looking forward to this!! Anyways..I just wanted to update! I have new days off too!!!.. That would be om Fridays and Saturdays... So really I see things starting to shape!

PEACE!

That would be a friend of mine.. Steve S in the pic here!

Steve Miller takes the Cake

Well, I actually attended a concert at Shoreline last night, and I had such a good time . There was alot of talent that crossed that stage.. It unbelievable!! After the concert, I went into my supervisors office and told her that I probably could not have worked last night and stayed a good usher!! LOL I mean, that I was so mezmerized with the music... Many guitar solos, harp solos, It was AWESOME!! My daughter and I like to make it to at least one concert a year of our liking.. and we just go and have a good time, and we did, last night! There was also, Big Brother and the Holding Company with THC, The Greg Kihn Band, The Doobie Brothers, and of course, The Steve Miller Band! A hellava show! I tell you, The Doobie Brothers, still got it in them. Steve Miller Band played so many different genre of music, plus their old stuff, how can you not enjoy? The seats we had were perfect! The only bad thing was that the couple behind us... were a bunch of rootie poots! WE got up to dance, errr, my daughter did at one point, and the gentleman decided to tap on her shoulder to mention that she was standing at the concert....HELLOOOOOO!!!??? I could not believe that! But then again, I could, only because I am an usher, and I have had that complaint brought to my attention before. What are you supposed to do?? They really could not say anything when everyone in the crowd decided to get up and groove to the music... Hee Hee Hee... Yup!

I accepted the position at Alcatraz as a seasonal worker, and just within these last couple of day, they offered me a full time position, that includes benefits, and all that good stuff!! I am happy right now! And I want to do either ushering, or event staff! I realized though, that I really cannot do alot of that, my weekends.. or my days off is Tuesday and Wednesday... So when I am doing concerts, I could probably do one concert a weekend, instead of tryng to get them all in!

Anyways, I just wanted to keep up alittle bit.. Seems like I have so much to say, but right my energy level is not so good...doing my shifts at Alcatraz, and then these couple of days, there has been concerts!!

PEACE!
