The Network

This post comes from stream of consciousness. I'm just emotionally and mentally exhausted that I can't really focus on format. But I have stuff I want/need to say, so I'm basically just going to vomit it out on here.

First of all, fucking fuck I got a ticket for running a fucking red light, even thought I was clearly stuck in the fucking intersection by another car. Fucking $125 I don't fucking have and I probably have to go to fucking traffic school which is more fucking money. FUCK YOU ORLANDO STOPS!!!!! Alright that's kinda out of my system.

Other than that fucking dismal part of my day, which basically ruined a perfectly good fucking day, it was, well, a good day.

I had my callback for Hoop Dee Doo Revue and I was asked to stay for dancing which I did decently. Tomorrow I'm getting a call either way if I move to the next round of callbacks and I ask all and any to pray to which ever God you pray to that I get to the final callbacks on Monday. Thank you.

I'm technically officially an overnight supervisor at CVS which is nice because finally money will be going into my bank account instead of just out. Plus, I'm also with Nick Hotel as one of their improv actors which will be nice to actually get paid to perform. I've also got an audition in at the Orlando Shakes Playfest that went well even though the guy in front of me definitely did the same monologue I did!!!!! Thank god, we were doing two and I did mine in a completely different way, but talk about an Oh Shit moment. I'm hoping to hear back about some extra work on Thursday that will pay some money so let's pray on that one. Which leads to today's post title, The Network.

I found out about this extra work from a woman I did some extra work for last week. It wasn't paid, but it was only 4 hours and I had nothing else to do. But because I went, she is now recommending me for this job on Thursday, so Network. I met a bunch of people at this extra filming, exchange info, talked about upcoming auditions and added to my growing network of people who can help me find other jobs. And that is what it's about people. Knowing other people. The more people you smooze and become friends with, the more you will have the inside tract on everything that is going on. Of course don't just be a leech, you have to contribute too, but pass info on, make connections, strike up conversations, do some unpaid work, cuz it will most likely lead to something bigger and better.

My schedule is closing up, so people will have to put in their final bids and the highest bidder wins. I'm happy I'll be having a normal job to go to so that I can pay fucking ridiculous tickets and not worry about spending too much money at the gas pump. That's it folks. I hope it wasn't too bad. I'm hoping to post something later on this week that's a little more structured and a little less screaming punk. Thanks as always for reading.
