I am well aware that I have not written here in several days. Let me rehash how my week has gone.
- Sunday: went on a diet. This is the iPhone diet, where my iPhone tells me how many calories I can consume, and I obey. Because I am a slave to technology. The roughly 120 pizza rolls in my freezer provide plenty of temptation, but in the end, fitting into interview clothes that I already have is more important since I can’t afford to buy new ones.
- Monday: turned down for a job that I forgot I applied for.
- Tuesday: turned down for a job that I really wanted—but at least they turned me down instead of stringing me along (read: my college romantic experiences). Symphony chorus rehearsal.
- Wednesday: spent all day (after awesome former coworker lunch) in bed.
- Thursday: should have spent all day in bed and did my best to make that happen. 10AM voice lesson: awful. 7:30PM Church job: quite good actually. Came to the depressing realization that I need more than ever to be in therapy but can afford it less than ever. Somehow this made me feel better.
- Friday: accomplished some things. Haircut. Grocery shopping. Video game p0wnage. Bought an iron so I can look starched for interviews.
- Next week: application for New Dream Job (NJD) due at 10AM GMT on 23 February (Yes. GMT.). 10AM interview for a Category III job, also Monday. This interview involves giving a “ten minute presentation on whatever you like.” I am not looking forward to it, but at least they are not asking me to sing—I’d give a presentation any day over an audition. Also next week: holy shit I have an audition on Saturday.
So you will have to forgive me if I have been absent from writing. But let’s face it: reading nothing is infinitely better than reading ten pages of woe. At least things are looking up—even the abject horror I feel thinking of next week is a step up from what I was feeling on Wednesday.
So that is good, right?
