Know how I thought I had a meeting about comic books? It wasn't about comic books. All that hullabaloo I made about trying to read a bunch of comic books and learn the format and all that - completely irrelevant. This meeting was about movies.
I had a meeting today and it could not have gone any better. And by could not have gone any better, I mean I got a job. I wore a skirt and my best Guess top I got at the outlet in Vegas, and I even put on my $7 open-toed cork shoes that you can't walk very far in on account of the flimsy heel, and I got a water when the assistant offered, and I was myself and honest and we all liked each other very much.
I got my very first job at my very first meeting. Tonight it's pizza and champagne at our house!
Emily the progression of these posts instill nothing but optimism and glee (from representation to meetings to gigs!)
ReplyDeleteThrilling stuff! WOW!
congrats!! Are you gonna quit teaching?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm not quitting yet. I have a few months to decide, so I'll only quit if the workload forces me to. On the off chance this is the only job I ever get, I don't want to lose my day job.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Congrats on the success.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations many times over! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteWe await forthcoming details - as possible.

And, once again, the balance of the universe is preserved: Your house gets broken into, and then this news comes along. See!
ReplyDeleteI cannot begin to tell you the true envy I am feeling for you at this moment.
ReplyDeleteIt is surpassed only by my glee for another novice writer (paid sense only) breaking in and the fact that it proves the law of persistence.
Congratulations!
They're very lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Emily!
