Slowdown and Maintenance

Well, when there aren't any auditions to speak of, it's time to do routine maintenance. I've been sending out postcards and submissions, getting my car fixed, working as much as possible and visiting the gym (or the "buffatorium" as my friend Steve calls it). We bought plane tickets for Christmas and we're spending Thanksgiving in Phoenix again. My wife is renewing all of her permits and business licenses for massage and pilates instruction. The number of hoops to jump through and fees she has to pay is ridiculous. So, it has been an expensive few weeks. As a result, I agreed to 2 days of temp work back at Disney. I hadn't worked in an office like that for at least a year or so. I went in last Friday and return tomorrow. It was mind-numbing. The lady I'm filling in for is nice, but I think I've lost my patience for that kind of silly, petty, gossipy, fearful, busy-body, self-important, soul-sucking environment. The fact that I have to go back tomorrow is a real drag. She wants me to come back after Christmas for a week, but there's about ZERO chance of that happening.
