Obligatory update where I explain why there haven’t been too terribly many updates around here in the recent weeks.

I got my paycheck for last week’s work-week today.  Here’s a breakdown of my week:

Regular rate: 40 hours
Regular overtime (1.5 rate): 20 hours
Doubletime: 10.5 hours
6th day rate: 12 hours

So I guess I even topped out on overtime hours, pushing me into doubletime.  This is a roundabout way of explaining my total consumption by work right now…  Alas, not a lot of reading has been accomplished, and general upkeep of this site has been sparse, but it seems that things are a little less crazy ’round these office parts.  (Though I am thoroughly pleased with the robust check I was cut for this week.)

I have managed to watch some good TV, though, so hopefully I’ll be getting some thoughts up about the current season of Damages (loving it), the current season of Real World (FINALLY loving it again) and hopefully you’ll be seeing a Breaking Dawn review up here soon.  My weekend is clear, so it’s time to detox, catch up on missed reading, and generally regenerate some forward motion.  :-)

Workin’ hard for the money

I’m currently working in a post-production house working for a Reality TV show.  And they have a list of approved songs that need to be downloaded.

Guess who gets to download them?

I’m a fairly intelligent person.  I got two kinds of honors from college (two kinds!) and I am totally qualified.

But you gotta work your way up from the bottom, right?

And right now, the bottom means spending my Saturday trolling LimeWire.

If anyone has any ideas about what to do to pass the time in between searches and downloads, I’m all ears.
