Today was a bizarre mix of depressing and hilarious events. First, I had a second interview for a job with a well-known corporate music and gymnastics school, where I would be hired as a desk clerk and class teacher. I enjoyed observing a class, but in the interview I was asked some difficult questions that I have been grappling with lately. These questions included "so, you aren't going anywhere for awhile? Because this is a permanent positions" and "where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
And, I answered truthfully: "I have nowhere to be besides here at the moment." But of course in my mind, I'm hoping that the Met will call up and offer me a dream career. That isn't going to happen though. At least not this year.
Also, I don't KNOW where I see myself in 5 years. Hopefully, I'll be building my career...but since so much of what I do is contingent on how I do in auditions/who I have connections to, I can't see clearly how I'm going to GET there. I'd also liked to be with Jon still :) which I can definitely see clearly.
So hard cold facts of reality were faced this morning, and I believe if I get this job I will stick with it until something better comes along.
But THEN I had Mikado rehearsal, and I have to say it's among the most enjoyable shows I've done. The director is wonderful, and the cast is talented, professional, and hilarious. I am having ridiculous amounts of fun, and am so glad that my family will be there to see it! If anyone else wants tickets, let me know. I'll hook you up!
