The second day of the month, the second day of the year. There’s something to say about the weekdays of this month that I feel will happen, they will be boring. Yes, there you have it, I’ve got nothing to do these days as a result of not looking for work or going places. Today was no different with me lounging around the house because I had nothing else to do.
Disillusion With Recording Studios
This month, I plan to get off my butt and start some action events starting from tomorrow. Tomorrow I’m traveling to the City to meet Lyssa at 1pm, so I might as well visit HMV and some recording studios, if I find the time. While in the City I will keep my options open as I look for a job.
Today while lying on my bedroom floor using the computer I thought to myself, I haven’t worn my new suit once since I bought it. Eyeing the suit in the wardrobe I had thoughts of putting it on, but they were soon extinguished. It’s been around six months since I’ve been unemployed. I need to at least study or find another job.
I’m having a feeling that working at a studio isn’t that fun if you don’t have money. It isn’t that fun anyway when you get fucked around. In that case I’m back on search, slowly but yes I will find a position. This time I will look for a career, a job in the music industry.
Lyssa Wants To Quit Work
Lyssa called me this morning at 11am waking me up. She was saddened on the phone.
“What is the problem,” I asked.
“I hate work and never having enough sleep. I hate getting up early for work,” Lyssa was sleepy at work.
Because of that she was frustrated.
Back in the days that I used to work I used to have the same feelings in around the same time as Lyssa. The problem for Lyssa and I is that our jobs were just that. Our jobs weren’t enough to keep waking us up in the morning and making us work late. It wasn’t our career and it wasn’t fun.
Listen To Demo Tapes
Lyssa had to go back to work, so I turned the computer on and started some more work on the CD artwork. Some more mail came for me today and another Demo Tape showed up. Running upstairs to grab a tape player I tuned in.
With the starting song I had already made up my mind. The song sounded like it was used through a slow midi where the notes came out lumpy and out of time. Funnier was the guy that was singing. He sounded Grunge or Punk. It was interesting to hear his high notes. Breezing through the other songs, the circumstantial evidence was clear. I didn’t like him.
Most of the day I was upset because it was a cloudy day, but I wasn’t outside to appreciate life. All day I was inside on the computer. Figuratively speaking, it was like a job where I worked until 6pm, and still I am carrying on.
Relating To Lyssa’s Work Issues
Lyssa called me twice from work after her initial call. Lyssa couldn’t help but to tell me she was stressed at work. Asked to visit the high court, Lyssa had to walk 20 minutes just to get there, and then walk back. The lawyer frustrated Lyssa who asked her to deliver the documents because he couldn’t do it himself.
Lyssa just wanted to be in my position, sit at home and enjoy the day. I remember when I used to be like that also. Working away on my desk at Narellan I used to think to myself “Lyssa must be having so much fun with her friends at home. Why can’t I be there?” Personal pleasures pressured me. Before I knew it, I quit.
Getting Somewhere With Recording Studio
While at home today I called Demi at ‘Nu Town Studios’ and explained to her what I wanted done. It seems that Gavyn had a talk to her because she sounded like she knew what I was getting at. From what I know now, Demi is arranging for the guitarist to hear the score and then take it home where he can practice. I’m not going to use the guitarist if he can’t play the piece in a proper R & B trend. Opting to call in a couple of days I hung up the phone, slightly happier than yesterday.
While on the phone I also mentioned to Demi that I will be mixing the guitarist and then taking my business to another studio to mix the voices. Demi was trying to use her sales pitch so I would use the studios there, but it just didn’t work. What I need is some better rates, digital technology, and better service to customers.
Lyssa Become Depressed With Work
When Lyssa came back home at 6:30pm I gave her a call, but someone was on the phone. Calling a couple of minutes later Lyssa sounded upset again on the phone. Lyssa was depressed about work. It was up to me to soothe her mind. I’m in favor of Lyssa receiving a pay rise because if that did happen, it might change her mood towards working.
Lyssa was so depressed on the phone she started to cry. After a couple of minutes Lyssa was alright but she would call me back in half an hour. Before I left, Lyssa and I made plans for me to visit her in Sydney for her lunch break.
While off the phone I played around on the computer some more and listened to music as I have been for the whole day. Taking the opportunity to call Lyssa back, I realized she was on call waiting with Velda.
Lyssa called back shortly after. Then we finalized me visiting her in Sydney tomorrow. Lyssa is thinking of buying a bra and underwear set for only $20. When we looked at them next time round in the City they looked excellent, dark, highlight blue. Lyssa is also getting her hair cut and dyed on Thursday after work.
Also on the agenda, Lyssa is saving some money and putting some money on her jumper. Lyssa was still upset when we talked on the phone but she was going to bed soon. I offered to tape ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ for Lyssa while she had an early sleep tonight.
The time was 8:30pm. As Lyssa left to sleep I taped her show for her, a tad late. Since then I’ve been using the computer for recreation. Now I’m typing up my day and watching television at the same time. I’m so multitasking that one day I was listening to music, typing and watching television at the same time.
Now it is time to take off for another day. Hopefully, tomorrow I will have a better grip on my lonely days. I might get to work on a résumé for an Administration Assistant position with the ‘APRA’.
