Archivalry
Here I am, once again, finally back at school after my longer than expected hiatus...lying on my bed, looking out the window. Definitely a gloomy atmosphere in Brooklyn today, considering the sky is steel gray.
I left Philadelphia even though we hadn't completely finished moving. There was still stuff to be thrown in boxes around each room, and a couple larger things still to be taken somewhere to store. Thankfully, I think all of the cats were accounted for by the time I left. This was especially relieving, because only hours earlier, we couldn't find four of them, and there was literally no trace of them anywhere. Turns out the reason for that was that they hadn't actually gone anywhere - except underneath the floor. Pretty crazy.
I got the chance to work for Andy over last weekend, which was awesome. I didn't realize how much I missed those guys; Chris, Rob, and even Kenny. It's one group of guys that I always feel totally comfortable with. I never feel out of place or as if I'm being judged. Never. We're all just good friends, and we work really well together.
Saturday, I worked from 5 AM till 9 PM. The jobs consisted of two weddings, one at the Ritz and the other at the Four Seasons. Both pretty big jobs, and both calling for change-overs after their respective ceremonies. Now, to see the five of us in the Ritz and the Four Seasons would probably startle a good number of guests (should they see us, but they don't), because we really are the motliest looking crew. But the real kicker is seeing the motliest looking crew fluffing drape. Fuckin' right - we don't mess around. We are Grade A fluffers, and we take pride in our work. We also crack jokes and make other funnies across the room from time to time. The bottom line is that this is the best part time job I could ask for, at least for right now. I love doing it, I love working with those guys, and it hasn't gotten old yet. It's also pretty damn physical...my body still hurts. But that could also be from the move.
Agh. The move...
It's been incredibly hard on everyone involved, and even to some who aren't but are close to us. I feel horrible for leaving when I did, but I had to be back at school.
That might be all for right now. Of course, there's always everything that floats around in the back of my head. My friends, my loves, you know...
There's always so much more to say.
