Hello Dear Readers!
As I begin this blog, Gloria Gaynor has begun singing I Will Survive on my iTunes and I feel it is very appropriate. I apologize for not writing for these past few weeks, but I have found myself very, very busy, and when not at work, rehearsing, or sleeping, I haven't been in the mood to sit and type. However, things are a changin' and hopefully in the direction for the better.
I'm officially leaving CVS next Thursday. I just couldn't do it anymore. The amount of time it took up, and the things it kept me from, and the little pay wasn't worth it. It was nice to have, but it was taking me a step backwards from the whole reason I moved to Orlando. That being said, I'm still at the Nick Hotel, and it is absolutely wonderful. They have been just so lovely to work for and I have made some amazing friends. I've been cross trained into some things apart from the original dinner theatre improv show which opens me up to more possible hours/opportunities. It's one of the reasons I had to let go of CVS. My lack of availability was keeping me from doing more of what I really wanted to do. And even with a current job offer right now with the Census, I'm wondering if I am even going to take that, with it being a 40 hour a week position. It feels like I would just be putting another wall up, taking another step back.
I am still performing in the Orlando Fringe Festival with the Humor Mill coming up in May, so keep your eyes and ears open for that. I'm also getting ready to do the workshop performance of God Still Dreams of Eden in a few weeks. I'm freaking out because I have been flying by the seat of my pants since my rehearsal schedule has been limited with them, but I think the cast will be able to pull it off well. I'm just excited to be doing something on stage. I also filmed my first appearance in Winter Park: the Web Series, and it looks to be a fun, yet not-so-time-consuming project, for me.
I know it's not much, but work has been keeping me busy and sleepy. I have an audition in with the Winter Park Playhouse so I'm hoping to hear from them and there are a few more auditions coming up in the next month. But below is a few bullet listed points of things I want to mention - little lessons if you will.
- Always take the opportunity to learn something new or work with a new group (that has some upstanding to it.) It most likely will lead to another job or more opportunities.
- Always tell people you are interested in doing more. Jump in. Help. The more you show initiative, the more likely they will look at you for future advancements/jobs.
- Don't forget what you are striving for. Make sure to keep to your path, you don't want to lose sight of that big picture.
- Make everything a learning experience, especially if it's not that positive currently. The more you can look at things as learning or broadening your horizons, the less you will be disappointed and embittered by the random inevitable negative things that happen.
That's it from me. Just stepping forward. I hope you had a wonderful Easter! I know I did!
