Been seeing a lot of these past midnight lately. I know it’s lame to be a typical “fancy espresso” coffee drinker. But I sacrifice in a lot of other areas. I don’t drive a nice car (or one at all). I don’t have a huge place. I don’t buy a bunch of DVDs, furniture, clothes. But! I do spend an extra dollar on good tasting coffee.
For the first time in my life, I feel that I’m working hard for myself, rather than for someone else. The last time I felt this busy was my junior year of college lighting design project for The Tempest. It’s a long story, but I essentially worked from 6am to 3am for several weeks, cried a lot, and hated every minute of it. I never really did theater again (at least in college). I don’t feel like that this time. I feel like this is all going to pay off. As much as I bash capitalism and prefer socialism, I would have to say the benefits of being a business owner are starting to show and I’m going to be happy about giving up this much time.
