When It Rains...It Pours

Oh where to begin with all of this. So as if being asked to choreograph one original musical with future plans was not good enough, I got a call yesterday from someone to choreograph THEIR original musical. I am spazing out, but I am so enjoying getting the work. This one is called UZ and is based on the book of Job. Interesting subject matter to say the least, but I do love that story, and I have always wanted to work on an original piece that is biblically based. The people who created the show contributed music tot he Olympics and industrial shows and have one of thier other shows being optioned right now for a possible NY run. They want to do the same with this show. They performed it once to rave reviews and would like to do it again with a larger cast and more dancing. My good friend jason Tucker who made the move to NY this year is still looking out for me, so I have him to thank for this second one. I just can;t believe my luck. The hard thing is that both shows rehearse at the same time and perform in the same month. But I don't care. This is toog ood to pass up.

I went in for my first job interview today. It was fun. It;s just for a temp profofreading position at a HUGE insurance company. But I did the customary filling out of paperwork and had to take a proofing, editing, and gramma test. I think I shocked the staffing agency ladies when I turned in the proofing test and said "I wasn;t sure what style you wanted me to edit this in so I used all three, MLA, APA and CMA." To which they looked at each other, then at me, and then at each other, as if clueles until one responded "I guess you DO know your stuff." It was priceless. So now I wait for a call to see if the insurance company likes what the staffing company has to say. I could definitely use the money to pay off bills and jet the hell out of here.

And on a sad note, I went to a graduation party for the kids I worked with; it was also a farewell party for one of the students who is going back to Venezuela because his family screwed up his paperwork BAD. It was very bittersweet. But I also enjoyed driving around with two of them trying to find two of the seniors who decided to go to a kegger instead. I was not happy at this, so I got in my car and tried to track their asses down...with NO success, of course.

And on a final note, I get such satisfaction when my worst suspicions about people's natures and characters are proved true with one small action. It just shows me how right I am when I get feelings about certain people and try to dismiss it for possibilities. Alas and alack, this is life.
