Not quitting my day job *yet*
So I had a bit of a situation that happened last week. It wasn't really my fault but it showed the limits of what I was able to do when met with the limits of a database. It made me think about whether or not I was good enough to do my job. After some consideration, I realized that I am good but I shouldn't stop pursuing what I really want to do in life. This is good for a day job or as a career and I truly love engaging with other people but there are some aspects that I cannot do and that's ok.
I understand that because of COVID19 on top of a previous year budget freeze that we are limited to the amount of people who work in the library. But recently there has been a push to hire which would be helpful as I could get back to what I normally do in terms of my general job.
Regarding my other dream of breaking into acting, I saw on reddit that a acting teacher decided to start a subreddit called r/actingclass. I plan to take the acting lessons she is providing. I'm also going to join Backstage near the end of the year and try to get into one of those workshops. If things look better next year I'm definitely going to start auditioning for roles. I'd like to start local/close regional but if an opportunity for something more comes, I'll audition anyways.
