So, I got moved back onto the day shift this week!  (I have been working nights since September) For the most part, I think the transition has gone over pretty well.  The first few days were tough, but I’m back into the swing of things.

Working the day shift is advantageous because it enables me to attend evening events.  On Thursday, I was able to venture off to the Troubadour.  The “Troub” is one of my favorite concert venues in LA.  You are so close to the stage its unbelievable.   I went with my good friend Aaron to see one of our favorite band’s lead singer’s side project band Person L (is there an easier way to say that?!).  I’m not too much into Person L, but it was great seeing Kenny (the aforementioned lead singer).  Anyway, at the end of the concert we figured out that one of our mutual colleagues has been dating this lead singer for years.  And just like that, we have a connection to one of our heroes.  We listened his band (The Starting Line) growing up, and have been guided by it’s music for most of our lives.  Now here we are, ‘grown-up’, and somehow connected to him for real.   I was in a state of hysteria for the rest of the night!  Next week I’m seeing Telekinesis at the Troub as well.  I love music!

In other news, tonight is The Celebrity Apprentice Live 3-Hour Season Finale!  Joan Rivers vs. Annie Duke.  Holla!  It’s been great working on this show and I have learned SO MUCH about television, production, editing, and it’s corny, but myself as well.  Not to mention, I love my colleagues, from top to bottom.  I’m looking forward to moving onto something else, but am simultaneously sad to see it end as well.  I’m coming up on ONE YEAR in Los Angeles.  Incredibly hard to believe.  And here I am, ready to again plunge into the deep unknown.  A storm of change is brewing on the horizon, I wonder what it will bring this time.

And last but certainly not least, today is Mother’s Day.  Another stupid Hallmark holiday.  I truly mean this: every day is Mother’s day.  NOT A DAY goes by without thinking about how much my Mom has sacrificed and worked for me.  That woman has NEVER put herself in front of her kids a single day in her life.  That, my friends, is also unbelievable…but oh so very true.
