Nadia’s Theme
While not a big “Soap” fan, my mother used to be. I remember hearing this tune coming from the living room. This about the time - the mid 70s - I started fancying myself a writer, so I always associate “Nadia’s Theme” with the post-apocalyptic crap I was trying to write. Funny how one thing happening at the same time as another tends to get fused in our heads.
The weather in Mid-Coast Maine has been phenomenal. August always shows off a bit. I am planning on 5 for 5 beach days this week. I’ll pretend I’m a European.
I start my mornings by perusing the job websites - Indeed, Monster, USAJobs, JobsinMaine and so on.
Yesterday I clicked on a link to a job at BMSBC. Strategic planning analyst. Either an analyst III or senior analyst. Not sure how to approach that. BMSBC left a bad taste in my mouth, but I suppose that had more to do with the pressures that the culture of that place put on our department.
I put out feelers to see how poisonous I am there this long down the road. Turns out I still have a decent reputation. My bosses - not so much.
I am not crazy about the idea of being tied to an entrenched inflexible culture. Funny to say, the United States Navy evolves much faster than some of the production companies in this country.
But.
If I could make another 60-80K a year I could learn to bite my tongue.
With Mireya situated, my schedule is much more flexible. I’m not tied to pick up and drop off times. I wouldn’t mind doing some business travel that didn’t require me coordinating with the folks.
I started watching Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. Firstly because most of Denis Leary’s projects are passably entertaining. Way back to Rescue Me.
But I’d be lying if I didn’t say Gigi (Elizabeth Gillies) playing his daughter doesn’t keep me coming back.
She looks petite in this photo, but she is 5‘8”.
Gawd!
