I'm off to see my friend John Estacio's opera, Filumena, next week. Can't believe I'm going to an opera where I actually know the composer personally. And hey, the guy is also alive and well, not dead for the past 300 years like everyone else. I haven't called him since I've been back in town, so it'll be good to connect with him again.

It's back to work at United Way tomorrow. Can't believe how fast the weekends go - it's not fair really. I like United Way though I suspect that I'm heads above everyone else in my department in terms of communication ability. They're of course thrilled to have me there but I don't see myself staying long-term. Frankly I'm kind of bored to death and only work productively for about a third of the day, the rest of the time I just entertain myself on the Internet. Can't believe I'm so blaise but I've already secured a good impression so why the hell bother killing myself when I can say or write just about anything and they think it's positively golden? I'm a little shocked at the appalling level of writing in the organization - and one of the biggest offenders is a co-worker in the communications department. Sheesh! Not much mentorship to be had at UW I fear. Must make it a priority to start my job hunt next week in earnest.
