Even when I don't know what I may be doing down the road, I at least know that I know how to land on my feet. I couldn't have said that 20 years ago. <br /><br />I have a better sense of who I am today, so while the woo-woo thing is annoying, i know that it has nothing to do with my values, but with theirs, and I'm looking at it as a fun challenge to see how well I can work this to my advantage. I think being laid off for a year and spending nine months babysitting twin toddlers was a big step in helping me just chill and be myself. ON the bright side, I'm not working for tyrants, so I can probably just "yes" them and they'll be happy. Thanks for stopping by, and maybe one day I'll get to perform one of your shows!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031088973944663332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313642679904009040.post-73661515611452835202010-05-02T18:21:05.085-05:002010-05-02T18:21:05.085-05:00I quite like your blog ...

I remember how hard it was to try to not care, to try to fit the mold. And to go to the lame-ass auditions as well as a few good ones ... It was squishy!<br /><br />I enjoyed some years of writing/multimedia/TV odd jobs while living in Hong Kong that gave me some new direction. The corporate stuff definitely helped me land the cooler gigs, so I am not sorry ...<br /><br />Fast forward a few ... okay about 20, and I'm enjoying a few years of stay-at-home duty, which means I'm on stage every day with my kids and making sure they say YES to creativity and quirks every day. Hurray!<br /><br />And I worked out a deal in my stay-at-home contract that I get a couple of not working years to figure out which direction I am taking my career next! Writing, acting, definitely NOT sucking it up in anybody's corporate straightjacket!<br /><br />I hope you can keep the whoo hoo attitude and write the emails their mcWay without going too crazy ...<br /><br />keep it crazy here, girl!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428202747324083680noreply@blogger.com
