    Sisters of Mercy Show At Baltimore Sound Stage

    By Andrea Menzies

    My top 20 photos of the Sisters of Mercy show at Baltimore Sound Stage. The sound quality and light show was AMAZING!!! It is a band I have loved since I was a kid. Yet I had to leave early because the only parking I could find was in a two hour loading zone. Every other space cost $40 for ONE parking space which I could not do at all. If I had known parking was that wild I would have taken a Greyhound bus in from out of town. The Greyhound station was only 1 mile away from the venue, and a round trip ticket is cheaper than Baltimore parking.

  • Good Rehire

    By Andrea Menzies

    Good news Chesterfield County Schools hired me back as a teacher! There was a pay and department location dispute, but it was resolved without issue and I am again a day teacher. In addition I am also employed by Amazon on a night shift job as I passed all physicals and drug and alcohol tests for many projects in 2022 and 2024. They drug and alcohol test at Amazon for all employment constantly, and I am still employed there. At last my bills are getting paid for the year just in time to buy a birthday gift for my daughter in full time school named Alexandria. It is her birthday this week in September. I wish I did not need two jobs to buy my daughter a gift, but it is what it is.

    Good luck and stay safe in Louisiana in the hurricane storm Francine. Louisiana is a place I lived for years at school, and they get hit by storms and damaged far too often.

    Dig Harder

    By Andrea Menzies

    I have been single for years with no date or husband, and men are not just going to rise from the grave break into your house, and ask you out.  People give me crap for working too hard to go to dance nights and concerts. I am NOT just happy being alone I want to meet someone. You have to get out of the house and be social if you want to date someone in the modern day.

  • Great Atlas

    Great Atlas

    By Andrea Menzies

    There was a great show for Bellweather Syndicate at the Atlas show venue and video arcade in Washington DC Sunday the 1st. William and Scary Lady Sarah were there, and it was great to see them in person. I wished them a happy birthday on the Internet, but seeing them in person is always nice. I am so glad I got tickets and a chance to go. People were friendly and talkative. The pinball games were fun. As an added bonus it was across from a famous graveyard for pre-Halloween event photos. Blade was showing as the venue movie. Unfortunately epic rain hit the road so traffic was a nightmare even by DC standards both on the way there and back so I missed the first part of the show. Yet I saw the best part, and that was perfect.

  • Music Past

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am from Austin, TX. They have the logo of “Live Music Capital Of The World” everywhere as going to shows is a popular hobby people like. I am not an exception to this rule. As I have hated the abuse pit that is Virginia with all my soul it is good when shows give me a chance to get away to a better place.

  • 30 Thousand

    By Andrea Menzies

    Woot! I made it to 30 thousand steps on Fitbit working for Amazon on Wednesday. I used to struggle to get to 10 thousand a day when doing teaching work. I had to take a break from teaching as they did not pay me 800 dollars of pay at Chesterfield Schools for work I did while trying to force me to become a bus driver, and my relatives have helped me contact lawyers on that issue. Meanwhile I have resumes out at other locations that use my completed University degree. Amazon heavily tested me for drugs and alcohol and I didn’t fail any of the tests, and so it is a good reference to have as abusive ex-employers and ex-boyfriends lately have tried to lie about my personal life.
