Last week I made a post.
I auditioned for my first show in nearly 10 years. The show had the potential of actually paying its actors if it broke even.
Now, a note on the world of professional, semi-professional, and amateur theatre.
There are more people going for the job you want that in the computer industry.
A computer position can interview 5-10-15 candidates.
A show can audition 25 and then shoot you down on the case of: Race, Gender, Age, Weight, voice, attitude.
This past year, every interview I’ve gone to has yielded disappointment.
Today… I accepted the role that I nailed at auditions.
I am once again an actor.
Life can be funny.
I have just posted in my work journal about some stunningly great news I just got that has caused a positive change for Apolo Productions™
The really short form is in this post in the name… But the details are over there.
It is just coming up on 1am. I’ve been working on the computer pretty much all day since getting back from the midwife appt.
Let me say.. hearing that heartbeat is real. It’s amazing.
Since then I’ve been working on OTO files. Cleaning up some old documents with out dated information and also working on a project for a potential client.
I’ve started updating afreeman again with the more techy stuff.
Thanks to an ol’ colleague’s kibbitzing, after 4 hours I managed to get the project to work.
I also did a quick 9 person $5+$0.50 this evening. (NLHE) Managed to really do well. Only had one evil suckout and happily it wouldn’t have killed my chip position if I’d lost it. At the end of the tourney… I was the only one sitting at the table. Just me and my $22.50. And as it took 2 hrs…, $8.50 and hour means I’m actually not off to a bad start.
More good news hopefully to follow soon. Rechecking LJ, (not really) flirting a bit more with a really wonderful girl… and off to sleep
