I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Today was fantastic. I did my first solo school presentation for a class of kindergarteners, and I was awesome, if I do say so myself. *L* I've never felt completely at ease talking to kids, so that's been something I've been worrying about doing again. But I've been so surprised that not only do I feel competent up there, I'm actually EXCITED about it. I couldn't wait to get in front of those kids and get them excited about learning. It's a wonderful feeling to realize you're actually good at your job. ;)

THEN after work we had a potluck dinner at a co-worker's house to discuss summer shows. There ended up not being a lot of actual talk about shows, but good socializing and good food. I came home loaded down with leftovers. Free food for the win!

And when I got home, there was forwarded mail from my mom including this lovely little note attached to my last Playboy check:



I totally need to frame that. *L* Yay for good stuff because taxes are evil and eating my brain.

Wait! *scratches head* You're in Playboy? XD

*snork* Not exactly. I worked at the Playboy Mansion as an animal keeper for a few months. Bit of a surreal job.

Ohhhh, I see XD I was a bit confused for a minute, LOL.
An animal keeper, huh? That is kind of weird to be doing something like that in the Playboy mansion of all places. Did they have cockatoos? *giggles*

It is a bit weird, but the mansion actually has quite a large collection of exotic animals (mostly birds and monkeys). There were indeed cockatoos, 2 of which were absolute sweethearts.

Everything financial is evil and eating my brain.

Oh, I know. Money worries never really end, do they?

I was wondering when you were finally going to realize that. ;-)

Great letter. Definitely frame it!!

*LOL* Hey, the last two years all I've had were jobs that told me I was nothing more than passable. It's taking a while to build up my self-esteem again.

Yaaay, I'm so glad to see a happy work-related post from you! :D *hugs* Congrats on doing a solo presentation!

And hee, Playboy Mansion West. Are there like, wings of the mansion that get their own stationary? Oh, to be rich!

[memento1.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuuu! *hugs* I know, it seems all I've had is work-related stress the past few years. I'm still getting over it's actually possible to love your job! *L*

*LOL* No, it's not the wings of the mansion. ;) The original Playboy Mansion was in Chicago. When Hefner moved out to California, his new place was designated Playboy Mansion West to differentiate it from the original.

Oh, you have to frame it. It's on playboy letterhead!! Awesome!!
