Nez Posts Because She Feels Like It!
Ok. So I've not posted in a while. My bad.
I blame Crackbook.
Anyway, I've been wanting to blog about something that's been on my mind.
I want a change.
I went for coffee with Ninedoors last week (which was a great visit!) and it got me thinking; I think I need a change in jobs.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my current job. I don't loathe going there every morning (I loathe waking up, but that's different). It pays the bills and doesn't make me want to kill myself.
But it's not what I really want to do.
I wish so much that I could work full time in theatre. I want to make stuff; and I want to make stuff that looks cool!
Anything. Props, makeup, lighting, I don't care. I love all that stuff. I crave the knowledge and skills to do all that.
I don't want to waste my life and my brain in an office.
But I have no idea where to go and what to do to get what I want.
Also, I have a condo to pay for, a car that needs replacing and bills to pay. I can't just up and leave my current way of life. I don't really want to leave the city, I like it here. A temporary leave of absence is acceptable, but Edmonton is my home. Not to mention that I don't want to be anywhere without ScottyBomb.
I feel stuck where I am and I don't like it. I desire a change, but I'm unsure how to make it happen. I'm scared that if I stay where I am for too long, it'll make me miserable.
Augh! What do I do?

This might sound funny, but I am really happy to hear you say this. I suspect you will be on a happier path and a lot truer to yourself if you fully embrace the awesome creative goddess inside you. (wow, sounds cheezy, SO not meant that way.
You, me, and the beverages when I am the better!

Oh Nez. The best thing to do, I think, is to just browse through job listings and see if any pop out. I now you're frustrated and a little scared about branching out, but just taking the first step will be helpful, I think. Good luck!

How about theatre admin? I could start sending you those job listings. It's got both the creativity AND the okay pay elements. If you work for the right company you might find yourself doing props and makeup too.
