I've been job-hunting for several months. During that time, I've spent an inordinate amount of time on the internet, applying for jobs and killing time. So, finally, I decided to start this blog, maybe as a way of doing something creative.
Two days ago, at almost 5 p.m., I got an email from a recruiter about a position that needed someone immediately. I went in to talk to him yesterday morning. About an hour after I left, the hiring manager called to set up a phone interview. We spent over an hour on the phone, at the end of which he asked if I'd be willing to come on as a temp-to-perm (they'd been burned twice already with temps that couldn't cut it). I told him sure -- even if it didn't work out, it couldn't hurt to earn a little in the meantime, right? So he said, come in tomorrow morning at 8:30. So I did.
You'd think I'd be ready, having had all this time off. But, no. Of course not. Lulled into complacency, the laundry undone. It's not like I've needed much more than t-shirts and pull-on pants for a while. Fortunately, I'd recently bought a new dress for interviews, so I managed.
Now I'm back into the grind, suddenly. I've got some projects up in the air, I'll have to figure out how to resolve. I've got to get some borrowed set pieces back to a theatre in Fort Worth. I have a ticket for an expired inspection sticker to take care of (it's been raining ALL WEEK), so I've been putting off driving to the city hall. Oh, well. Somehow I managed before, guess I will remember how again.
If I don't get to post as often as I wanted, don't worry. I'm still out here. I'm about to start directing a show ("Tuna Christmas") in October, and I'm trying to help get "The Rocky Horror Show" up, to open in October. We've got to work on the set this weekend.
The last job I had didn't have enough work to stay busy. Based on what I learned today, I don't think that will be a problem at this place!!
