Yesterday, I started working at the Barnes and Noble Chelsea. YAY!!! When I went in yesterday I was given a tour of the whole store then started on the job training in the Children's department. I will be working in the children's and Performing Arts sections of the store. I got a name tag and a locker in the break room.
So i've been working in children's shelving books, finding books for people, and answering questions. Also, I recommend books to people. This is hard. Usually I just recommend books my momma read me or books that I have read. But people come in looking for gifts for christmas.... like this one today....
Customer- I need a book for a 12 year old girl.
Me- What is she interested in?
Customer- I don't know. She's my granddaughter and she lives in South Carolina and she needs something for christmas.
Me- Ok.... Let's start over here with the american girls sections.....
It's hard when people don't know what they want. And, I don't remember what I was reading at what age. So, I'm talking with customers and trying to gage the reading level of the recipient. It's hard.
And there are job hazards I have learned..... I got a paper cut today :( and the location of the paper cut makes it look like I tried to slit my wrist. But I didn't. I like this job. It's a lot better than my last one........

I went for a job fair at starbucks in Union Square today. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF STARBUCKS!!!! They keep giving me the run around. Every time I go into a starbucks and ask about upcoming Job fairs they give me information but when i show up they give me a different date and location. I am done with it!!
I went to Barnes and Noble and turned in an application and immediately was asked for an interview. The Interview went well. They need a few days to check my references then I should be hearing from them. Hopefully it will be good news.

So, the Good news keeps pouring in. I was accepted into the part time acting program at the Atlantic theatre company. I was cast in my New York debut role as Freddy in GBS's Pygmalion. Then I got a job as a sub usher working for Jujamcyn Theatres. Then I was hired to work box office for a production of Oedipus by the mortals theatre company. And, I've had two interviews with Old Navy and am expecting a call from them tomorrow. Also, I was invited to audition for a film next weekend... more to come on that if I get cast. So... things are really starting to role here.

Well, I've been busy booking auditions. Starting saturday I have almost a week of non stop auditions. Saturday I audition for a spiritual (though non-denominational) company, On sunday I audition to work with Anne Bogart (theatre legend) and the guy who is the artistic director for Classic Stage Company (it's not paid :( but it would be invaluable experience working with the MFA directing program at Columbia) On Monday I audition for the Bat theatre company and Adam Rapp. Tuesday I have my interview with the Atlantic theatre school and an audition for extra work in the Sex in the City Movie (I know, not exactly a way to build my career but it VERY good money) Then i have a few days that are still open at the moment. Next Monday I have an audition for the broadway production of Edward II. I may also have an audition for Proof around that same time (still waiting for confirmation on that one.) So yeah. that's what i've been up to lately.
