I need to. I just need to get this off my chest. I am so tired. Getting up at five and coming home at midnight is so tough.

I just hope all this work will pay off.

Off to rehearsal.

Keep the faith! Better times are ahead.

Yikes, I thought my days were long!

How long are you going to be on that schedule?

Thanks, fellas.

It's been going on for two weeks now. Hopefully another two weeks. Waiting for work to approve my time off so I can relax a little.

Hang in there.

Wow! I hope you get to relax on weekends at least.

Hang in there, Temp!

No it's seven days a week.

Thanks guys!

7 days a week? Wow. I am very proud of your work ethic though! There's no way this CAN'T lead to a payoff somehow!

So this is how it's going to work. I have a week to prepare my jury scene (on top of three one acts that I got cast in by the intermediate directors).

There are only 14 slots available in the BFA program. There is about 50 of us. So I pray and hope that they see enough in me to pass me. Otherwise I have to find a new path to work on.

SOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Jury results came in. I didn't make it. And they reamed ten ways from Sunday in my results...sigh.

I've had no confidence since I stepped foot in that school. So now I go to find a new focus.

All I know is, I got to do something, because working the way I am now sure isn't making me happy.

What? And give up show business?

I love acting and I hate they way I am getting income now, so no.

I am not giving up, but these next few years could be potentially problematic and frustrating. So I need to weigh my options, I have very little money to toy with.

Good luck! anything worthwhile will have challenges and setbacks.

OMG!!! Life has changed so much. I'm in retail still and it doesn't bother me. I still like writing and creating. Maybe one for that, not today, but I believe in tomorrow.

What a whiny bitch I was...

Temp! You're back! For good I hope.

Sounds like life has changed for the better for you.

Dit and to what Ibby said.

Vent on as needed, young Tempest! But happy to see that life is ok with you and great to see you back here.

Thanks guys.

Am I still considered young here? How comforting, this my Neverland.

Compared to Mon-el (1,000 plus years old) we are all young

I wouldn't consider it whiny given the hours and strain it encompassed. Regardless, glad you are in a better place.

Now that Temp has grown peaceful and content, we can use this thread to at long last have a place to talk about HVAC!

HVAC = Human Vacuums Against Cobie

HVAC Sounds like a rash Cobie once had.

HCKC - PW

Of course you are young! I am young and so you must be too

Everyone's young here compared to me!

Happy birthday, Cramey!

The HVAC is on, you can't tell because of... well.

It's getting hot in here!

I'll be 71 in three weeks. And I feel a lot older than I am.

Some damn days. "Hey, my truck is throwing codes left and right, it needs looking at!" says I for the last two months. "We can look at it today, get them cleared out."

three hours laytair:

"Um, hey dude, whatcha need outta your truck. We gotta send it back to the dealer. So many codes we can't clean it out or fix it."

Yup.

Remember the days when mechanics didn't need to be computer geeks?
