Listening to: Built to Spill (as always)

Finally got an email today from Shad guy. I didn’t get the job - which ticks me off, after the amount of time I spent trying to figure out what was going on with Robinson this summer - but probably for the best, as it would have screwed up Half-Past 8 P.M. for me. After our first live rehearsal I realized that I couldn’t miss any of it for something as silly as a job. Scott mentioned this over on his blog, but it was crazyawesome how seeing people acting out HP8PM took it from being a script to being a play. I hadn’t made that mental leap yet (and really, I didn’t realize that that shift was needed until after I’d had it. Weird how that stuff works, eh?), and it made me realize how much I’m starting to get invested in HP8PM.

Speaking of things I’m invested in, tomorrow is my last full day at CCE. I’m going to miss that place - not for the work, which was often pretty boring, but for the people. Everyone just has so much fun there - it’s really laid back, but still quite serious. Exactly my style. If it weren’t for the whole budget-cuts-because-the-economy’s-in-the-shitter thing I might have pressed them to hire me, but since they’re cutting my position next year I don’t think there’s any room in the budget. If I’d been a real hire instead of a work-study student I’d have been laid off, which is kind of a weird thought.

I want to write more on yesterday’s entry, but I’m not feeling terribly introspective right now. Maybe on Wednesday or Thursday.

PS Shad guy, if you’re reading this: I will be professional in my email response to you, because that is the right, professional, SHADLIKE THING TO DO. You missed your deadline to get back to me by two weeks without so much as a Twitter-length email to say why, even when I emailed you asking when I could expect an answer. In my books, that’s a fail - and I don’t want to work for people who are going to fail me. I will bitch about your behaviour on my blog that only five people read because that’s all I can do to vent my anger at how poorly you represented an organization that is near and dear to my heart.

That is all. Good night, folks.
