There's no denying it, Disney is on the way. It is steadily approaching, and I'm starting to get very anxious-excited. The idea of me picking up my life and moving halfway across the country is starting to sink in, and even though I'm going to miss everything I'll be leaving behind more than I can stand... it's only a temporary leave. I know this adventure will be here before I know it, and just as quickly it'll be gone. Everything in this life is so temporary, you just have to seize the moment when you have the opportunity, before it slips away. I'm trying to remember that as I waltz through this crazy thing called life!
I've been very happy as of late. Things are going well, new friends, new beginnings, new experiences abound. I had my very first sushi experience this past Sunday, and let me tell you it was about as close to life-changing as a meal can get! I was very apprehensive going in, but it is really unlike anything else I've ever eaten... enough to where I HAD to go back today. I find myself in the midst of a crop of new things and new people lately, stay tuned for what I'm sure will be plenty of humorous stories to share.
"Picnic" is entering the last days of production, and its a bittersweet end. While it's been nice to be back in my element, performing again, and creating living art to share with the community, I'm still quite ready to have my normal life back. I miss working, I miss my job, I miss my coworkers, and I miss my customers. Buffalo Wild Wings has became such a huge part of my life in the past two years, I can't believe how empty my life felt without it! It's sad, but I'm attached. March 7th is my first day that I'm available to work again, and I'm excited to get back in there.
With that in mind... I've been thinking a lot lately about everything I'll be leaving behind when I go to Florida this fall. My job is somewhere near the top of that list. I took a one month leave for the rehearsal process for Picnic, and I was so miserable away from my coworkers. As cliche as it sounds, the employees at Buffalo Wild Wings have become my second family, and at this juncture I am faced with a choice. When I leave, I can either submit a request for a five-month leave of absence, and resume my employment when I return to Fargo, or I can submit my two weeks notice and find a new job when I come home. While I love BWW and everything about it, I know I won't be returning to the same place I left. The turnover is high, people leave at a drop of a hat, and if I'm completely honest the majority of the people working there now will more than likely be gone by the time I return. It's a conundrum.
I'm less than 20 days out from my big Character Performer audition in Minneapolis, MN. Keep checking back for updates.
