The Hard Tele-sell

After yesterday's meeting which ended, sadly in disappointment, I had no choice but to face the cold harsh truth of reality: not everything will work out the way you want it or sometimes need it to. It's not that I had been counting my chickens before they hatched, but I was hanging a little bit of hope of this prospective laurel. It would have been nice to work for such a high profile studio - but unfortunately at this time they just cannot afford me.

Boo hoo.

Until such time I have resolved to keep plugging away and fighting the good fight. If anything I'm counting my lucky little stars that I have another job to turn to at all! It may not be my first choice, but it's a heck of a lot better than nuthin'!

I had a pretty productive day today at that job - managed to make a couple of sales that will help put me over the top and boost my salary from the measely minimum wage to an almost respectable $10 an hour. Ugh! I can't believe I'm saying this - but it has been several years since I've worked for so little. It's okay though! I'm not complaining, I'm forging ahead and feeling good that I'm doing my part for theater and the not-for-profit community. Heck, this is a reputable off-Broadway theater and this little stint, however long it may last should serve as a nice little notch of experience on my resume. I want to continue working for institutions such as these and some day be able to start one of my own. I'm looking at this job as not only a way to supplement my income but also laying down some good karma for my future endevors.
