Just once, I'd like to have wonderful things happen to me and Tyler at the same time. It seems like we take turns at having our dreams come true, but it never happens together. So, here I am, without many auditions and no prospects in the near future of finding work, and Tyler has landed his dream job. He now works for MLB.com. He lives and breathes baseball, only now, he gets paid for it. I'm so happy for him and he's just beaming all the time. He gets tickets to any major league game, gets to travel to see games and goes to work to deal with baseball all day. Things couldn't be more perfect for him. Now, for our happiness to be complete, I have to nail an audition and get in a show. It will happen. Lately I've taken to shopping online. It's a glorious thing. No people to deal with, no trains and I get a package in the mail (one of my favorite things). I'm currently awaiting some shoes and accessories from Urban Outfitters and clothes from Nordstom. I'm SO excited. Work...phffffff...it's been somewhat slow and I don't know how I've been making it through. I applied for another job as soon as I got back from tour and heard from them last week. It's a catering job and it's a piece of cake. The interview was the fastest I've ever had. In fact, it wasn't even an interview. I pretty much had the job before I even got there. My boss basically told me that she looked at my resume and since I already work at Hard Rock this would be ten times easier. So, I talked to her for less than five minutes, filled out my paperwork and I start in a couple weeks. It's $25 an hour plus tips and all I have to do is walk around with trays and smile. No orders, no running to the kitchen because my food is taking forever and no relying on foreigners who don't understand the concept of tipping to pay my salary. However, despite my best efforts to lay low on the Hard Rock radar, I've been noticed. Apparently when you get to work on time, don't complain, keep a positive attitude and just do your job that not only keeps the managers off your back, it also wins you employee of the month. Yep, that's me. Over fifty servers, I'm back three weeks and I get promoted to a trainer and made employee of the month. I just don't want to get sucked into the Hard Rock world, which is happening faster than I can comprehend. Now, because I'm responsible and shit, I can't even throw them off by being late or not showing up for a shift, sassing my customers, etc. Will there ever be a day that I'll be able to let down my guard and not be the overachieving perfectionist.
Editor note: Couldn't have done it without you baby, i love you
