I'm your friendly sailor-boy from New York, a hard-working boy who likes to break out into song while fantasizing about girls named Jenny, or Sadie.

Tonight was auditions for minor & chorus parts for OMTC's production of Anything Goes. I auditioned for the part of a sailor in the Sailor's quartet and have been given the part, yay.

In other news, we have a sofa! A real honest-to-goodness sofa rather than my old Ikea Beddinge beast which is OK, but well... not very good. We now have gone up in the world and have an Ikea Ektorp with a Leaby red sofa. Jane posted a pic in her journal which I shall pinch and post at some time. We also have put up pictures of Auchindoun Castle that the absolutely adorable albatros and ruthytoothy gave us for a housewarming present, and one of llanrhaeadr waterfall from Jane's parents for same. Both are lovely.

When did I last update anyhow? Oh dear... May 18th. I've really let this go, haven't I?

I've had 2 auditions lately, one to join the society and one for the show. The one for the society went horribly badly to begin with, as I just couldn't find the note I wanted to start on damnit. Slightly nervous I was. The one for the show went much better, except that somehow I'd got the impression that I didn't need to move or dance to audition for the role I was going for, but I was supposed to. Uhhhm. Oops. It went horribly :) The other bit that I was expecting was much much better.

Work is work.
Well, that's not quite true. Work is getting hectic and busy again. We lost one of our people recently. Lost in the worst sense. He didn't come in one day and didn't call in, and the guy he started with (an old work colleague from a previous company) got worried because he couldn't get hold of him on the phone. When he went round to his house and got the cops to break the door down he was found dead on his bed. Apparently heart disease took him, not an attack or anything so drastic.

So until we get someone else it's back to how it was, nastily busy and nasty. I like having time to recover between idiots and don't deal well if it's constant.

If I don't see change in the direction I want in the next 6 months or so I'm going to start looking elsewhere again. I'll look for something more along the way I want to go, which is not at all customer focussed. I know in my head that this isn't what I want and I suspect it shows.

I'm tired. I really do have a lot more to say but I can't think straight.
