Busch Gardens called me back. They want me to do a follow-up interview next week. *mad flailing* Holy shit, if I don't screw this up I could actually get a good job that will look really good on my resume and make real money instead of spending the summer struggling to find a minimum wage job at a tourist trap!
If I don't screw this up.
Oh God.
*panic attack*
Also, RENT is closing. The ONTD comments are full of vitrol, which partially amuses me and partially confuses me and mostly just reminds me of something that's always confused me, which is the perception that all the main characters are steadfastly against getting an actual job. Because I just don't get that. Joanne's a lawyer, Mimi works regular hours (at a strip club, admittedly, but still it's a job), Collins is on-again-off-again employed in academia, Mark holds a job at Buzzline for part of the show, and it's not like any of their friends bitch at them that they're selling out...Okay, yeah, they bitch at Benny for it. But that has more to do with his marrying into money and considering himself better than them and breaking promises than his ability to work for a paycheck. And yet every time I see somebody complain about the show, it's always "No, assholes, working an actual job for a paycheck isn't selling out!" when...I don't get the vibe that the characters think that's the problem.
RENT's been on my mind a lot lately and I'm not sure why. But the idea of the Nederlander on Broadway without RENT is just breaking my heart right now. Especially with that godawful Rent Remixed still in London.
