Just to be clear, I am working full-time hours (4am-12:30pm) until I complete training around the end of August. Once training is complete, I will work part-time hours only (4:30am-9:30am), which means I HAVE NOT given up teaching or performing. In order to "survive", I will have no choice but to continue my voice lessons in the afternoon and/or audition/perform.
Today, I also found out my schedule for the next year. Currently, my "weekend" is Friday/Saturday. That will change to Monday/Tuesday beginning October 7, and though it is a bummer to lose my entire real weekend, in addition to most holiday pay opportunities (Mondays), on the bright side, having two weekdays off gives me more chances to work on film. Plus, I get Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day off this year. Paperwork for requesting time off also arrived today. If I want time off, I have to bid for an entire Sunday-Saturday week versus individual days. This kind of sucks considering we already have our plane tickets to Mardi Gras in February, and I don't need 2 weeks, but I DO need days off within two weeks. So strange, but that's how it works. We shall see how this pans out. So many things to think about all at one time. My mind is in overload!
As usual, I got home this afternoon, ate a little lunch, then took a 2-hour nap. My husband is starting on dinner and then, most likely, I will be heading back to bed for the night. I am not sure I could or ever want to do a full-time 8.5 hour shift. I feel like all I do is eat, sleep, and work. Very little time for "play".
