No Sleep

So as of last week, I now officially have 5 jobs.

1. Concierge at Aura Lifestyle.
2. Road Manager of Cheats
3. Road Manager of Nicole Asencio
4. Artist Liaison of Malasimbo 2017
5. Stage Manager of Ely Buendia

After Radio Republic cut me loose and I was jobless for 4 months, I became so desperate for work that I sought it out in every possible way that was possible. I practically begged for work and made myself available for even the slightest income, even if I deemed it an insulting amount to pay someone for the work that was required.

But then I started landing some work. I got a phone call here and a text message there and now there was work to be done. It was good work for decent money and I was starting to gain some self respect again. And I kept pushing. I kept moving forward and never looking back. I remembered that opportunity only knocks on your door once and that I shouldn't shun it due to fatigue, lack of sleep, or laziness. I didn't even turn down work even if it meant missing important functions or time with my family.

Then more work started landing on my lap. Scheduling was becoming tedious and my hours were starting to eat into other jobs that needed tending. Before long, I wasn't sure how to shuffle them all but with a lot of effort and time put in into making it work, I was able to continue up and running.

And here I am now, its nearly 4 in the morning, i've just come from a gig at 70's Bistro with the Blue Jean Junkies, and i'm about to start my concierge shift, which by the way, I wont be completing as i've got to get to Green Sun to do line/sound check for Ely's gig tonight. Then tomorrow I have Cheats at Route 196. On Sunday i've got another gig with Ely at the PICC. Then on Monday im skipping my concierge shift to do a gig with Nicole at the PICC and Sofitel.

So I don't sleep much anymore, but I remain grateful for all of the work been given to me and I hope that I manage to continue handling all 5 jobs, plus my family, plus the Junkies.

Here's to an even better 2017!
