Schedule Chaos

Hey there everyone!

So sorry I've been aloof lately. I just started my two new jobs: real job that is Walgreen's competitor (boo) and the place where kids rule (yay!) and have basically been jumping from work to work to bed to work to work to work...you get the picture. Anyway, I've just been swamped with it, trying to make it all still work with the sketch comedy group AND this new musical I was just cast in. And by new I mean, as in new, never done before, we are work-shopping it with future plans of a tour. I always enjoying getting in on new pieces because it has no obligations to what's been done before. You can do anything with it, create new characters that are in new situations, and evolve this whole world no one has seen before.

With that said...

Trying to get the schedule to work with technically four jobs (yes, getting paid for all of it, which is also amazing) is I'm pretty sure comparable to how air traffic controllers feel when landing planes....in a snow storm....and their computers are out. OK, I realize it's not that complicated, but it does require finessing.
"I can't be there for the whole two hours, but I have this afternoon available."
"No I'm not going to be able to make that day, however these two nights I have an hour before my overnight shift."
"I know it's not perfect, but I have 15 minutes right before I pass out every third Thursday of the month."
I'm joking, but kinda not.
HOWEVER, I am extremely grateful for the chance to work. As someone who didn't have much going on for about a month and was worried how he was going to pay rent and eat, it is a wonderful thing to have to delicately piece a schedule together.

So as we can see, it's about month four and life ain't bad. Working for "kids" is sooo awesome. We get to go around and slime and pie people and act like, well kids all day. Plus, I've met my work wife who is just absolutely adorably and tall like me! (oh and cute and funny and just wonderfully talented (as she would say (often.)))

Anyway, that's what I got for now, thanks for reading and I'm up to 12 followers, so thanks all for reading!! Have a good night all!

TypeCast wants to know: Have you ever had the chance to work on a new piece/gig/performance in any capacity and what was it?

  1. Hey it's Alex (Emilyann's friend/roomate from Disney)

    I've been meaning to read your blog forever and I finally caught up. I've been loving living vicariously though you. Makes me miss Disney hardcore. Look forward to more posts!

  2. Ahhhh, new shows. It's all I do anymore! I'm part of a new theatre company up here in the NYC, and we do new works exclusively. I have made friends with some of the best playwrights ever.
