Three more days of work! Man, I don't know if I'll be able to get everything done that I need to. I have to go into HR Woman's office and sign some papers saying I acknowledge that they're laying me off and that I'm accepting their severance package (1 month's salary, COBRA payments for three months (!), etc.) blah blah blah, administrationcakes. Really, I just want to kind of lay here in bed all day, or at least allow myself to sleep later. Which I can do when I'm not working anymore! It's just that getting to sleep after rehearsal is always hard for me, especially if it's a music rehearsal I'm nervous about. Not that I was nervous about the music itself (well, okay, one line in there, but the MD is going to help me work it because it's so high), but because it's become clear to the rest of the cast that I'm the musical utility man in the ensemble, and I feel like I need to live up to that expectation.

Music rehearsal last night gets a thumb and a half up. Having a somewhat sore throat this morning from not taking care of myself correctly gets two thumbs DOWN. Note to self: just because you're excited about the show doesn't mean you get to abandon your technique. In a show with this many high notes, it's *doubly* important to sing everything with proper form. Anyway, the next music rehearsal isn't until next Monday or Tuesday, so I'll be okay, but I hate it when I do something stupid like this.

On y'all's collective advice, I've responded to the WinCon poll saying I'll go; if it turns out I can't, it'll be easier to find someone who *would* like to go to take my place than it would to find someone who's suddenly not going to take *their* place.

I seem to be in a place where I come home from rehearsal, am still a bit wound-up, and so I write Trohman-Wentzes. Huh. This one's... not the same mood as the others. It's possible the characters are getting away from me.

( and you're so much like me, i'm sorry )

I've got some comments to answer, a couple big emails to answer and/or compose, and some music to start memorizing, but I can do that all tomorrow. For now, there are a few things I need to get out there, and then I'm writing more of that stuff that I've been writing. (Which, no, I don't know where it's coming from, either.)

First: anyone who has ever liked Justin Hartley in any form at all should watch [this] YouTube clip. (thanks, Chad!) Also, ONTD reports that he's gotten cast in a new CW show for next year! Yay, more hotass on my screen!

Second: Just before rehearsal, I sent an email out to my interviewers from yesterday, thanking them for their time and reiterating my interest in the position. One of them wrote me back and said "we'll be in touch soon to discuss next steps". Obviously, that can have many meanings, but I am cautiously optimistic. The person in HR I've been talking with said she'd get back to me today or tomorrow, so if I haven't heard anything by tomorrow around 4, I'm going to call her.

Third: A very good actress, who is playing two of the non-lead women's roles in the show, gave me a huge compliment on my singing from last night's rehearsal. I really like her and it's clear she's incredibly well-respected among the cast, so that made rehearsal (which was really just running old stuff to clean it up) that much more enjoyable.
