Once more into the testing cubicle...

I've been in a temp-drought. Of course, it's partially my fault. Immediately after registering with 3 agencies, I got a call about a job I had auditioned for the previous week. After the callback, I got the job, and had to inform all those eager agencies that I would be unavailable for two weeks. Maybe that put me on some naughty lists. Now that taping on the aforementioned job is complete, I still have no job. So, after learning that my car battery was dead, I took an alternate vehicle (one of the many benefits of marriage) and ventured once more into the temp world and applied with a different company. Anyway...forms, software tests, typing tests... I've taken 4 of these things now, and they're all virtually the same. On the bright side, this particular agency seems to work more with the studios. If I'm going to work a day job, I figure I might as well be interested in what they do. The jobs are mostly short-term, which is also good as it means more frequent breaks in the routine.

Over the weekend, we attended several free shows at the local theatre and arts festival. One of the tremendous upsides to encouraging a theatre district is that it enables a festival like this to take place. Everything was within a 3 or 4 block area, including open container areas, the Colossal Dog, and an afternoon performance by The Platters! We did not hang around for the Peruvian blues singer. We live in a great neighborhood.
