LOOKING FORWARD TO AUGUST
This week we did improv in person and that was pretty great. I included more pictures from the rooftop below. I'm writing a piece on improv that I hope to submit to Medium. I spent a lot of time writing and talking with UBER clients.
One of my UBER clients was telling me how he likes his job working from home but explained how it's aggravating. He seemed interested in this writers group called SHut Up and Write and how we meet every day on ZOOM. "Everyday!" he said cheerfully, "Well except the weekend," I said. "The host is pretty committed." I told him how the writers in that group have a lot of impressive writing jobs and will write grants and marketing and short stories, etc. I took another person from the mechanic to the hotel and he insisted on giving me instructions-- which was good because he put the wrong address in the app, and we would have drove fifteen minutes instead of five to the wrong hotel.
This week I also talked to writers about the post office and it being one of the largest employers of military officials and those with PTSD, and how they went into studying PTSD after a rage incident at the post office many years ago. And I never knew this but that's where we get the term "going postal." The post office is often under staffed as a state job and a lot of workers get sass from everyday people.
Doctor death is on Netflix. Its based on a doctor (Christopher Duntsch), who injured Patients during surgery, even his own friend.
Pictures from my week
It's nice that you are able to meet with your fellow writers every day (well, except weekends). I would love to join a writing group.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have met such interesting folks on Uber rides. I loved my work with the Census Bureau long ago, but I had to take an oath of confidentiality.
Yeah they are great. That confidentiality thing gets tricky:)
DeleteI also didn't know where the term "going postal" comes from. Hmmmm, interesting!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a good and fruitful week. Hope the new one is filled with fun surprises!

Great to know. and I still need to read the whole story on 'going postal' so thanks for the reminder.
DeleteI saw Dr. Death. It was an interesting series and so scary to think that it actually happened.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Yes. Lot of weirdos out there without a conscious.
DeleteI've never taken an Uber but my daughter ha and I know you get some interesting clients.
ReplyDeleteYes, LYFT gets even stranger clients. There's some politics behind both the apps.
DeleteI like that your improv group is utilising zoom :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, we do all sorts of fun stuff on zoom and great camera tricks.
DeleteYour week is never boring. I wouldn't be comfortable going out so much right now with cases rising.
