Ch ch ch changes

Sooooo I quit Pete's. It was a good job for what it was in the beginning of my NY experience but I really really couldnt do it anymore. I am a traditionalist when it comes to business practices and all but one of the managers at Pete's held to that for the most part. There was one though who decided to take out his personal frustrations with his tenure there out on the employees and I did not need that stress. Not to mention that when one manager cleared me to be a little late to work following an audition, his managing style dictated that I be cut from work for 3 days and he would let me know when I could work after that. Fuck that shit.

So rather than mope in my apartment with no work I did what any driven person would do and hit the streets. Within an hour I had an offer to train the next day and so I'm now training at an upscale Italian restaurant in the theater district right by Radio City Music Hall. The manager is the kind of tough as nails person youd expect to run a NYC restaurant, and I like the professionalism. The whole system is new so I have to learn it fast but I like it there.

That audition that made me late that one day was for Americas Got Talent. Crazyness. Got there at 9am and waiting in line for awhile to get approved paperwork. Then waited for like half a day in some chairs for our numbers to be called. Then sent to a holding room to wait for another hour and do interviews in front of the cameras. Then sent to an audition room...around 4pm to stand in groups of 5 in front of a producer to audition. I feel I did really well but its a massive TV show that bases their judgements on ratings not talent. We'll see how this goes they dont let you know until like January anyway when they start up the production again.

Lots of changes going on for me again and I am quite the nervous wreck these days but I'll be fine. Things will always work themselves out if I'm staying on task.
