I will be very curious to see how the situation aligns with my initial impressions. If I do report to this guy, it will only be temporary. I really, really, really hope it's part time. I am nervous about my friend's email telling me to make sure all my loose ends were tied up next week. Trying not to worry about this since I shouldn't borrow trouble...

I hope your friend can find something she likes about her new place! I can't imagine leaving my birth state permanently, especially for a place across the country with a completely alien culture. The evidence that 'busy' is the reason you haven't heard anything yet is sure piling up. I'm on month four with the company I've been talking with!

That is so neat that you helped start up opera companies! How did you become involved in that? I mean, not one, but *two*??? I hope you can find more time for the acting classes. You'd mentioned that they had a requirement for the more advanced class that you just weren't into. I bet they'd let you opt out of that!

Re: the play: it just kind of happened. I was writing dialogues at the time and some of my crowds included other people who were also writing/acting. We decided to put on a show with a few of our short pieces. We had a full house every night, probably because we had limited seating and over 14 actors!

The kind of funny thing about that is I was still working full time, plus going to grad school full time. I kind of hope that having this part time job makes me more productive again. I do fit a lot in when I am not working, but I kind of think I fit even more in if I have some scheduled activities as well.

My hair also doesn't always looked brushed even when I do brush it! I love winter -- hats! I would like to do an image consultation, just so I know what's 'normal' even if I choose to opt out. I keep saying I'll do it when I lose some weight and buy a new wardrobe, but I've been saying that for too many years.
