Sundown to Sundown

Crazy, crazy day today...up at 5:30, work at 7, working lunch at 12, dinner (thank god) meeting with Steven, Miss Elizabeth, and the beautiful Erin McGrann at 5:30, auditions at 6, home at 10. And then shower so I am not dirty tomorrow.

Whew.

So if anyone's wondering, I'm not going to have a personal life for quite some time. My apologies.

Between TRR, following up with the fabulous theatres I spoke with at SETC and officially sending them paperwork, and yet more TRR (not to mention trying to find time to work out and eat well) things are just nuts. I kept thinking I'd get a breather when the dinner theatre ended, or at least when SETC prep and mad portfolio-making were finished...but alas. We're veering into contract-season for TRR, and Miss Elizabeth and I have a loooooot of work ahead of us to put the contracts & welcome packets together for all the company members.

It's all good, of course...I really like my day job a lot, I totally lucked out. And I'm coping with the 7-5 schedule much better than I thought I would! Though some days are tougher than others. And the overtime is definitely helping to ease my considerable money stresses.

And TRR...anytime I see Steven or Miss Elizabeth it just completely brightens up my life. And I just love doing whatever they need me to do...even on days when I'd rather just come home and be a bump on a log.

I got contacted by a theatre I interviewed with at SETC today (Florida Studio), and I'm pretty sure I'm going to live off of that e-mail for about a month. It's really kind of embarrassing how completely thrilled I am. The guy was *so* so nice though, and we had such a fun conversation. It didn't feel too much like an interview and I felt like we just had a lovely rapport - and he liked my portfolio, which of course means I love him forever. But it was especially amazing because I was LITERALLY just opening up my gmail so I could e-mail the guy I spoke with to thank him for talking to me! Oh, universe.

Speaking of the universe...I just have to say one more time how I adore Denise and Shawn for being our SETC hosts. They're the greatest people ever. Being in a car with them all day is completely fun and wonderful - I love talking music with Shawn and I love watching Denise rock out to her favorite songs while driving. Too lovely.


And now it's way past my bedtime. Something tells me tomorrow morning is going to be a tough.
