I do not have the energy or creativity to come up with a huge update, so here are some random bullet points summing up what's going on in my life:
- Still working a crazy schedule at Vento, although things are supposed to subside a bit after this week. I'm enjoying the people I work with, and so far the money has been pretty good, but I am wondering how much more of the intense schedules I can deal with. They keep telling us they are trying to build up the staff so our schedules won't be as crazy and demanding, but so far I can count the new hires on one hand. Plus, with the outdoor cafe season coming up, I am beginning to lose my stamina and patience with the restaurant. I can't be slaved around for much longer.
- Things at Wicked are pretty rough at the moment. Our employers are now paying us on a commision basis, which means we need to work harder for our money. The fact that we have to work hard is not the issue, however. The paycut and the fact that we have not seen the promised improvement in paychecks with the new system has caused quite and uproar amongst the staff, and I feel like things are about to go up in smoke. It seems as though they are preparing to lose some people by hiring a slew of new sellers now, after the new plan has been put in place.
- This is the big week for Oscar! It's my first Academy Awards since being in LA, and I have to admit, I'm homesick for all of the festivities and buzz!
- I have the flu, and have had the flu for the last two weeks. The weather is cold and gloomy in New York, everyone seems to be coming down with a bug, and my intensely draining serving schedule has not been kind to my immune system. Let's hope I can recover and catch an audition or two so I can get some work over the summer!
- I heard about the memorial in Palo Alto for Michael Litfin yesterday, and heard it was a smashing success, very moving and uplifting. I'm so glad that everyone turned out to praise such an amazing man, and I'm sad I couldn't have been there!!
