Fatigue and Adrenalin.

Just one day to go and I was probably a tad optimistic about how ready we were. Doesn't help that work needs me to come in this morning, the guy they're letting go is being let go earlier than planned. Ah wells I'll be done by midday and then can race over to te Amnesty office to help out there.

I've got to finalize the specifics for the musicians today, it can be really difficult to just get an answer to some questions. We had to get a marquee to keep the event at at a certain level of awesomeness, we have a lot riding on that courtyard. Otherwise it's pretty much just a gallery room and it'd be hard to engage people in there.

We're doing volunteer training today as well. Everyone needs to be fluent in the campaigns, but also their roles for the weekend. Then we're gonna head off to West End, the City and the Valley to hand out the remainder of the business cards.

Oh and I'm getting a tattoo today, was getting it Tuesday but that was just a stupid idea. Fortunately they were able to shift it to this afternoon. Hope I'm not too woozy for the remainder of the day. Heh. Man, I need sleep. Can't remember my last day off, I've lost count. I'm also working five days next week for the first time, not going to make that a regular thing, they just really need my help right now.

I'm thinking from this experience whether I really want to get into a management/coordinator position again. I know it'll all be worth it once we open to tomorrow, I don't regret being a part of this. But I miss having spare time, i won't say I miss my life, because this is also a very cool life. I just don't enjoy this level of busyness. Or maybe I do deep down... I'll find out when it's over and if feel bored.

Yeah, I'll probably want to do something else. Ha ha. Urgh. Just blanked out for a few minutes. I shouldn't make it sound like I'm miserable. I get to open a fucking art exhibition tomorrow, who could have seen that coming even six months ago, not I. I'm now very well known in the QLD Amnesty community and have several prospects lined up for 2012. I have it good and I'm doing great things.

That seems a good point to end on, I'll be writing again tomorrow from the exhibition at different intervals and then will upload at the end of the day. Fingers crossed time. Love you all.
