How rude of me - I forgot to wish a happy anniversary to DR Vixmom and her DH.
I also forgot to wish DR DiT a very happy birthday.
Skammen!
I'm feeling MUCH better than I was earlier today and I will be sojourning back into work tomorrow. Skammen.
I had an odd/disconcerting/maddening chat with my roommate tonight. She has decided to leave "the biz" and find a "real" job. So far she has applied for jobs as a jewelry clerk, administrative assistant, book seller and Dream Maker for the Make A Wish Foundation everywhere from right here in New York to Phoenix to Edinburgh, Scotland. She doesn't have any clew what she wants to do or where she wants to live. She just wants a new job yesterday.
She's very concerned with making sure her family is proud of her. More precisely, she doesn't want them to think she's a failure or a disappointment because they helped her get through music school. That's a valid concern, I suppose, but she's going totally insane. She's also very against any kind of desk or counter job; any sort of 'service' job (i.e. waiting tables, hotel/restaurant management, etc.); she wants to make a difference in the world (to make up for disappointing her parents) and she wants something active - but not too active. She apparently thinks she's going to find that on her own - or with the help of Craigslist.com. I've listened to the story a zillion times in the last four weeks and now I'm at my capacity. I hope - for everyone's sake - that she figures out what she wants to do and quickly. Actor's Equity provides career counselling - I wish she'd take advantage of it.
