It's a Cry for HELP!!!!!

We promise--this is not what we'll become

Greetings Readers!

Today I, Lisa, come to you with a conundrum of my own.  (It may not stop with just one, but one for now.)  It seems I've taken on a job.  Why would I do that when I gave up a job last year so Maddie and I could finish a novel?—one might wonder. To that I say:  the last job (teaching ESL) was rewarding, but time-consuming in a methodical, government overseeing kind of way that was sucking the marrow from my bones.

I gave it up about nine months ago and dove into being a writer.

So what happened?

Well we made progress on the novel—but for Pete's sake—we could have had a baby in the interim.  Yet we didn't, though I'm not sure what Maddie and Aaron are waiting for—a blog for another day.   The point is, that we filled too much of our time with non-novel related writing. 

And then the word languishing comes to mind.  I'm half-introverted and half-extroverted and the extroverted side was crying foul at the weeks where the only time I got dressed (for real) was on Sundays—which was also the only time I talked with people face to face. 

Not counting Sam and Madeline and Dorian Gray.  Brilliant conversationalists that they are..

I knew a problem existed for real when I went on a recent trip and found myself sleeping with my laptop.  You don't know pathetic until you wake up intermittently throughout the night in the glow of a computer screen, anxious to know what the world is up to.

The laptop had taken over. 

So, in knee-jerk fashion, I let go of a few writing jobs.  Additionally, Maddie and I decided not to be so Type A about our blog.  We love all of you and want to be here to help in any way we can, but we're not going to be scheduled about it.  We aren't going to post "filler" material if we don't have a conundrum in the queue—queue, boy, that word has a lot of vowels for being a one-syllable wonder.

But I digress . . .

The point is that we want the majority of our computer time to be spent editing our novel.  The other hours of life, we want to spend engaged with the living.  And that is how I, Lisa, ended up with a part-time job—Maddie already had one.  

She's always one step ahead.

This brings me (finally) to the conundrum. I have to come up with an interesting/fun title for business cards.  Formally speaking, the job is:  Director of Dinner Theatre for Joe's Steakhouse(s)—there are two.

Here are a couple of ideas: 

Director of Talent Acquisition and Performance Improvement

Joe's Steakhouse (thanks, Eric K.)

Director of Drama, Drama, Drama at Joe's Steakhouse (thanks, Holly)

Director of Joe's Steakhouse Dinner Theatrics
in support of community organizations you care about.

Joe's--where steak's good for the heart!  

(every show will benefit a local organization/ministry in the Woodstock or Front Royal area)

Director of Mystery Dinner Theatrics

You won't find theater here—only drama! (thanks, Maddie)

Readers?  What do you think?   Do you like one of these? Do you have any other ideas?  Will you still stay with us if we post less often?  What if this is the year we have a ton of conundrums for you?  Will you drop us if we become needy—or dare I say dramatic?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Lisa and Maddie
