So, I'm being laid off. It was, stupidly, my idea. The acting school that I work for is practically going under, so I finally made our Artistic Director understand that he can't afford me, should lay me off and that he should hire some kid out of college on the cheap. I don't know WHAT I was thinking. Unemployment lines, here I come.
We put out the ad last Thursday, and when I got in today there were about 40+ responses. As I started combing through them, I surprised myself with the physical and emotional responses I was having. More than a few of the resumes I received were from people who were far less than qualified, and it pissed me off. Honestly, do these idiots think I'm going to hand my kids and staff over to just ANYONE? Grrrr.
On the flip side, there were a few resumes that really made me happy. They jumped out of the pile, took my hand, and said that they were the ones to meet. I am actually looking forward to the interviews today and tomorrow. It is always a beautiful challenge to find just the right person and put them in just the right role, but it is even more of a scary thrill when I'm trying to replace myself.
Please wish me luck, in more ways than one. :)

When you need to get away from a place, your mind will force the move in one way or another, won't it?
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see what door opens as this one closes.
