Well today was pretty interesting.

Let me start with a phone call I recieved a few days ago. While I was actually going in to work to beg for a few more hours from other departments my cell phone rang. On the other end was one of my department managers asking about my interest in a possible temporary postition in another department. To be honest, I didn’t listen very well. All I heard her say was “full time” and “at least one month” and I was sold. I told her I was very interested and I would be happy to meet with or talk to whoever needed to get rockin’ and rollin.

Cut to yesterday when I got another call from the same manager letting me know that I was on a short list of interviewees for this postition. We scheduled a time to meet with the folks I would be working for. I was supposed to meet them at 3:00 today.

Now flash to this morning at 9:00. Thinking I didn’t need to be anywhere till at least 3:00 I was totally asleep when my phone rang. I stumbled out of bed toward the desk that held my phone bashing my knee on the frame of my couch (that last detail really has no significance at all… it just made me mad). The caller ID was flashing DISNEYLAND and for a second I thought about sending them to voicemail. At the last second I decided to answer and I heard somebody (didn’t listen to their name) talking about “can you come in at 10:00?”. Taking a moment to wake up I finally processed that this was the assistant of the woman I was interviewing with and immediately said “Yes… of course” in a suddenly cheery and alert voice.

Speeding in time again to about 10:00 and I’m standing in the TDA building next to the room I needed to be. It was empty. Her assistant found me just outside the door and let me know that she was in another meeting with the VP of Entertainment and it’s running long. Not knowing when she would finally get out we waited without bothering them. about 15 min. later she came swinging out of the conference room and shook my hand as we went into her office.

We were honestly only in her office for no more then 10 min. and she said “I think this will work out great… can you come in monday morning?”

And so I guess the rest is history. I’m starting monday morning in Talent Casting and Booking. for now it’s a 30 day gig, but she seemed fairly certain that the person I’m filling in for (who’s taking a leave of absence) is going to resign when she gets back. That would make this position turn into a permanent one.

And so thats my story… I’m sure there is more to come about it.

but until next time,
