Where the Wild Things Are

Watch this. It makes me so happy that I cry. It'll probably give me nightmares, but the kind that I don't mind remembering all day. It looks amazing. 

Lazy Sundays are my favorite. I took a nap and watched my bracket crumble and ate junk food with friends and wore slippers. I appreciate my days off because they are so few and far between. I pulled five back-to-back shifts and I was walking slow and hanging low by the end of it. People already think I'm older than I am, but I don't want to start feeling that way. Back to work tomorrow. I need to go to the bank.

Jackie and Kyle are coming in a week and we're going to go to Vancouver!!! I've never been to Canada. I love syrup and Alanis so I'm sure I'll like it up there. You live, you learn. 

I dyed part of my hair electric midnight blue and no one at work noticed. So much for being a rebel with an obvious cause. 

How cute are my friends?

Spring Break!!!

Amanda, Justin and Aditi are here! I'm so glad that they came to visit me. I have the best friends pretty much ever. We've been all over the place and having crazy adventures. More details to come once I have time to sit for longer than 30 seconds.

But I wanted to post this. How fricken baller is that? It doesn't have all of them posted yet but Heather is working on it. And yeah, that's my name at the bottom. It probably won't be on the website forever (I'm assuming that they'd take it down next season) but for this moment in time I feel like I did something that left an impression on the Rep and that's really exciting. I'm such a nerd.

In other news this is the first year that I've completed a March Madness bracket. My dad and my cousin Nathan helped me fill it out. Here's hoping I can win the Rep pool, I mean we're talking $425. That's a big chunk of change for this girl. Go UConn?!

Should Be At Work.

Last night I hung out with Mollie and Kate and we watched terribly awesome Apatow movies and ate junk food. It felt like college. I needed it after yesterday's interview which got me pretty stressed out.

Am I good at interviewing? Hmm. Well I talk a lot, but not too much. I make sure to answer the question but hopefully in a way that is memorable and charming. I made a L O S T joke and I think they got it. I could answer all of their questions and showed the research I had done about the organization. I made them laugh. I semi-explained how to play the warm up game Zip Zap Zop. They put me through a "situation" and I made up a pretty terrible answer, but I kept my cool and sounded really apologetic and nice. What they were looking for? Hell if I know. I don't find out about this one until April so, great.

We had a Teacher Artist Training at the Rep this past weekend and there were a ton of left over bag lunches. It always makes me happy when I don't have to buy food and can just eat off of the Rep's dollar. That'll be ending soon too. I might even have to go to the grocery store. WHAT?

My friends from Iowa get here on Monday night and I'm so freakin' excited!!!! Amanda, Justin and Aditi are coming on their Spring Break. I have really good friends. 

I should probably stop procrastinating and just go down the hill to work. It's just so darn cold it makes me want to not get out of my bed. 

Daylight Savings Time, I hate you. Love, Kiki

Stiff Upper Shoulder

When I search for jobs on my laptop I tense up my shoulders. (Probably tense from the impending doom of not having a job) I don't mean to do it, it just happens and it's starting to hurt. Maybe I should stop. 

I'm returning 6 movies to the library today. I didn't get a chance to watch a single one. Talk about a change from when I first moved out here and was averaging 3 movies a day. At least I've grown in that respect.

We had a company meeting this week at the Rep. People all over the building are just freaking out about it. It's been a sad place to work this week. I'm trying to help people remain upbeat. We need more dance breaks and more departments than just Development taking Rum shots at 3:00pm everyday. I kid you not. 

Talk Irish got extended and apparently our Managing Director said that it was a great example of what Audience Development should be. Too bad stuff like this didn't happen during my whole internship. I'll get to perform it a couple more time and even *gasp* get paid $50 for one of those performances so, here's to becoming a teaching artist. Maybe?

LOST is still amazing. When is there a new Office? I really want to watch Megan Mullally's new show. She's my role model.

I bet this was more fun to read when I was happily employed and discovering a new city. I STILL blame the government. 

Where's the Pepto?

Well I sent off about 5 resumes in the last couple of weeks. I talked with one company in Seattle today and set up an interview for Monday. Another summer stock theatre in New York also sent me an e-mail requesting an interview. My stomach can't take this. It all makes me so frickin nervous, hence why I'm still awake on a work night. It's fine. I'll live. 

In other awesome news my Talk Irish with Kelly Warm Up is apparently taking the world by storm. Usually our Warm Ups are lucky to get about 30 people in the Rotunda. I'm averaging 65 a night and there is always standing room only. Jerry Manning said that my work was "excellent." Now cast me in Rent, ho. 

I worked a ton this weekend. Hopefully I can come in late and leave early a few times this week. Every now and then I worry that I'm going to completely burn out because, oh I don't know, I'm selling my soul to an organization that can't hire me for the long haul. But what good is coming in late if you still wake up at the ungodly hour of 5:30am?

Wow, this post sounds so jaded. I'll work on keeping it upbeat. I blame the government.
