A New Frontier Awaiteth Me
'Tis official. I am on the hunt for a new place of employment.
We had our meeting with the big boss(es) today, and in a nutshell, I am still employed next season, at my current rate with all benefits intact, but the season will be trimmed by 5 weeks, there will be much less opportunity for overtime.
I talked to Janet and Joel (the big bosses) and we have all agreed that it is time for me to move on. My heart just isn't in it anymore, and theatre is not an industry in which you can work if you're not all there. I am certainly welcome back next season if I can't find anything else. But as far as I'm concerned, that's a last resort. And they, and my boss, have said that I should start looking now; they appreciate my loyalty in wanting to fulfill my committment for the season and not wanting to leave anyone hanging, but waiting is absolutely not in my best interest. (Apply early and often!)
So... wish me luck. I'm qualified for damn near nothing, but I'm pretty much awesome, so I'm sure my phone will be blowing up with job offers pretty soon.
Just kidding. (Maybe.)
