Into The New Year!

Well that's fun!
Got a 2 week teaching gig for the summer at a "major" theatre venue in my area!  :o)
Let's see what else the summer might provide ... yes the opportunity to go back to Seattle for Stone Soup, but this time I'd need to pay for housing and transportation ... not sure the pay and cost to get to Seattle out keeps the scale balanced for the few weeks work.

Time will tell ...

Also, got a lead on three jobs opening at another local theatre ... KEEP YOUR FINGERS crossed!  :)

Full Circle

And The Blog of No comes full circle!
One year later ... NOt much has changed, ha ha ha!  :)
But I did make it through the whole year blogging even if I didn't blog everyday, or have each post be an actual application or NO.
Got a few yeses throughout the year - that was pretty awesome!
Still waiting on a "real" full time style job!
Still waiting to feel like life is really in full swing again - since coming home from the UK, which is when it sort of went on 'hold' ... sigh!
NOt bad for a year I suppose.
And for the moment, that is all!

Should I keep posting NOw that the year is over?
We shall see.

Tomorrow

HOLY MOLY!
Tomorrow is officially one year!
Once again I ponder if this blog achieved what it set out to achieve ... or something else entirely ... or NOthing at all???!!!

Hmmmm......where did the year go?!

Job - Follow up ...

So I've just done a follow up email with the potential Proctors Media Works Teaching Position.  We'll see what happens.

And yesterday I learned, from a friend, that there will be two "Education Coordinator" type jobs opening this summer (or shortly there after), one at Cap Rep and one at Proctors.  Boy I'd love a full time job!!!  Gotta figure out how to apply ... are they even posted anywhere yet ... what are the required skills???

Gotta get some info.

Stone Soup Summer '12?

I just filled out, or rather replied to an email, information for this coming summer and Stone Soup Theatre in Seattle.  We'll see.  As my friend is moving over the summer, and I don't know too many other people there, I'm not sure I can do it ... housing and transportation and all that ... but we'll see.

I also suggested my cousin for a summer assistant, as he's expressed interest in Seattle in the past.  :)

Who knows, perhaps we could work together!
