Nice night out at "London Assurance"

After seeing London Assurance (link to my review), I'm trying to convince booklectic to name the new one "Gay," because Lady Gay Spanker is simply one of the best female characters I've ever seen on the stage. And it's a great show.

After a weekend that was completely pants, this week has gone really well, other than being tired due to getting to sleep a bit too late and waking up earlier (thanks to the sun rising earlier, which is good on the whole). I'm doing a third night of theater tonight and will have a real pile of reviews to write up this weekend (Legally Blonde from last night and Dunsiname from tonight). Best guess is I'll be going to a castle of some sort tomorrow, but no idea where right now.

Two side notes of good at work

1. Had a female person who works for me say (when asked if my hair was okay), "All I can see is how good your skin is." Aww!

2. Had a near total stranger tell me in a "how to give a presentation" workshop (in which we gave presentations and were critiqued) that I was inherently interesting to listen to because of my accent. Well well!

Also I passed probation (an official step at work in the UK, after which you get "full benefits" and are much more difficult to fire, only I don't get "full benefits," ie retirement plan and sick pay, until I've actually been here for a year) this week and had the boss say all sorts of nice stuff about me, like maybe I should consider aiming for a director position. I wrote about a lot of that on my Twitter feed, so all old news, but really, this has been a good week at work.

And look at that sunshine. Why am I inside again? Oh yeah, paycheck. Work. Being responsible. Bleah.
