Monday of last week was my last day as a traffic reporter, and I've been working on getting my bearings in a brave new world that doesn't involve the constant grogginess of split shifts.
Okay, to be honest, I was giving myself a bit of a vacation.
For years, I just figured I was kind of a sleepy person. Turns out it was the working and sleeping in shifts that never let me out of that early-morning haze that most people only have... in the morning.
So, back to the grind. I spent Sunday of this week re-building The Pod.
The Pod is my little home-made recording studio. It used to be a free-standing thing in my kitchen made of PVC pipes and moving blankets. It looked like this:
And inside, was this:
The PVC pipes are long gone now, but the moving blankets now blanket the walls of a closet in our apartment. I call it The Pod 2.0
I've got a career plan, and it involves talking to myself in a padded room.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, I did work on the Rosetta Stone today. Still on colors. I had lunch with a friend yesterday, and he asked me what I could say in Danish. And the truth is... not much. I can recognize plenty of words and phrases, but I just don't trust myself to speak the language yet.
I'll let the Danes teach me pronunciation once we get to Copenhagen.
