hark! what's this?!

i'm generally not a wallower... it's a habit i outgrew long ago... like the habit i once had to never look anyone in they eye and the habit i once had to trim my nails with my teeth... i just don't like to wallow... it gets mucky and murky and cold and lonely. and who wants that for any extended amount of time? and if you do want that... my friend, perhaps you should begin wiggling out...

so after spending two days wallowing in fear and paralysis and 'why is this happening to me? what is wrong with me? who did i fuck over in a previous life in order to deserve this? *whinge, whine, whinge again*', i have found myself on the receiving end of a few (few meaning more than 2, but not quite more than 3) bits of yippie-type news.

piece, the first :
the interview i went on last week finally got back to me... they are planning to interview for the next few weeks and will be in touch in mid-december for next steps. ok.. that's not a kick in the teeth. now, is it?

second ray of sunshine :
while on an epic phone conversation with wee-kelly (thanks for your ear, luv) i got a phone message from the head of an a&r department here in toronto. a few weeks ago i heard about a potential opening from a couple of my music contacts and followed up on it. i had called him twice and hadn't heard anything and was just wondering whether or not to surrender to dorothy when i get the message with an apology (!?!) for not getting back to me sooner. turns out he was out of town. i may have an interview next monday.... just playing phone tag with him right now.

third thing not resembling a swift kick in the teeth :
even more weeks ago i had gotten a lead from an old boss of mine. the job is for an office manager for a company that works exclusively with music artist managers. i could do that job with my eyes closed... except for the "thrill" and "excitement" of dealing with artist managers... they are such a breed apart. a friend of mine who was once managing a band signed to a major label was once told by that label's president, "you aren't a big enough asshole to be a great manager". that's basically the personality-type. aggressive, pushy, mouthy and tough. gotta love 'em.

so little bits of growing greenery seem to be pushing their upward... off to go water the seeds....

also - it's time for an overhaul... good-bye current blogger look and hello to the new blogger look that's already on it's way....
