So I am the first and only person at work right now, realized that I forgot (once again) to write yesterday so I thought I would give a little run down on a day of my life here in California! (PS it is 11am on Friday and let me repeat, I am the ONLY one at work right now!)
I am not a morning person so my first alarm goes off at 7:45 and continues to go off until 8:30 when I FINALLY force myself to open my eyes.
From 8:30-8:45 I play with Gerti. She is always laying right next to me so I pet her and give her some lovin.
I shower and get ready and leave the house at 9:30am.
From 9:30-9:50 I walk down Market street (its kinda like the Michigan Ave in Chicago...runs through the whole city) I always walk 1.5 blocks PAST work to go to Starbucks. (PS I pass about 5 Starbucks and a good 20 coffee shops on my 20 min walk but I must go see Paul!)
I stand in line and make eyes at Paul, get crap from his bosses, chit chat, get my drink and I am off to work by 10am.
I get to the office no later than 10:10am (most days) although Tuesdays we cut all of this and I am in the studio for rehearsal by 9:45am and in the office at 2:30pm.
At work I check messages first thing, then email and then make a To Do list. I actually make a To Do List at the beginning of each week but I revise each morning. Once everyone strolls in (usually by noon) we do check ins and I continue working. At my job I do Print Calendar (events for the month) and advertising for our monthly publication called In Dance, and then I do online calendar, website updates, and outreach. I am starting to work on a new project called "Emerging Leaders" and I will be lecturing at local colleges and universities and then we will be picking 2 "Emerging Leaders" from each school for a 6 month program we will run at Dancers' Group to help college seniors prepare for a career in dance. I am really excited about it. I do membership when Jorge isn't in, and help Kegan with our Programs (2nd sundays, ONSITE, Dance Discourse Project etc)I would say I wear many hats at Dancers' Group. I am one of the only ones (besides Kegan) who is cross trained in every job (besides bookkeeping and only 1/2 of Fiscal Sponsorship). While sometimes it can get stressful I love being able to help in each "department!" If you are interested check out our website, dancersgroup.org. If you go to http://www.dancersgroup.org/programs_onsite.php you will find the ONSITE page. I designed this page and all the sub pages for it! I am really proud of it and love that I know how to design and edit html.
anyway back to my day... I usually eat lunch around 2 and take a break from staring at my computer.
I try to leave work by 5:30 and 2-3 times a week I walk the 15 min to the Mission to yoga to the People to take an hour and fifteen min yoga class. After yoga I will either head home or go meet up with Paul.
At night I tend to do work for Ledges and Bones Dance Project. Paul and I will cook at least once a week and do laundry. If the Giants are playing then we go watch the game at a bar (neither of us get any tv stations) and when its not freezing we will sit in the back yard with music and just chit chat. Sometimes he will continue work on his crossword puzzle and I will play sudoku. When home you can usually find Gerti on my lap sleeping. Oh and Paul and I are SUPER into Mad Men right now. We are finally on Season 3, almost caught up! It is so amazing. We also get our fill of Weeds, and I watch Project Runway, Top Chef and Lie to me.
Lights are out around midnight if Paul has to work at 6am or if its just me they are out by 2am.
Yep, that is about it! An average day of mine, I saved you from reading when rehearsals are crazy and things are non-stop. This day of explanation is minus the cra cra part!
