October 11, 2004I am Iron Man...
My cup runneth over—and if not my cup, definitely my car’s mileage. I had six hours of voiceover work between last Thursday and Friday, five hours of work today, and another ten hours to look forward to between now and Friday afternoon. On Friday afternoon, I’ll have set a new, sadistic, wonderful record for myself—driving into Los Angeles and back to Riverside for seven straight weekdays in a row (with a possibility for an eighth, as I’m in the midst of scheduling more work for either next Monday or Wednesday morning).
My trip into L.A. tomorrow night is to see a show at the Mark Taper Forum for the theater class I’m TAing, and I managed to convince my friend Maria to drive if I pay for parking once we’re there—both of which take a little of the luster off of my grueling endurance (or a bit of the gruel off of my lustrous endurance, if you prefer). But still. There’s no point in letting the minutiae distract from my being in both Riverside and L.A. for seven straight weekdays.
I’m working regularly, and putting in the miles behind the steering wheel to prove it. Lo, I am Iron Man.

Our elevated carbon monoxide levels thank you, Pat.

Fear not, Rich. You were coming straight down from a full day of work, whereas I was only coming straight off of a partial day of school (if even that). Those testacles are yours, brother.
And Sam, you'll be happy to know that I'm going to take the Metrolink into L.A. tomorrow morning. I'd like to lie and say I'm doing it out of a heightened sense of social consciousness, but really, it's just easier than coping with the drive. With where I was headed last week, Metrolink wasn't as simple of an option.
