| 4 Hours of Sleep in 48 Hours! |
| Saturday, May 24, 2008 |
Tired doesn't begin to describe how I felt this morning. After only 3 hours of sleep Friday morning I got to the Atlanta airport at 8:30a.m...plenty of time for my 10:20 flight...concourse A. Unfortunately, this is as close as I actually got to the plane. Yep, I missed the flight. The next flight was at 12:15...concourse B.  Yep, you guessed it. This is as close to that flight as I got, also! Stupid stand-by! Next flight 1:30p.m...concourse E. 2:30...concourse T. 3:30...concourse A. Okay, throw me a bone here! I have got to get on a plane some time today! I plug in my laptop, work my magic and discover I can fly into Daytona Beach at 4:00....oh, crap...RUN! Finally, I make a flight, and get into Daytona Beach at 5:15p.m. Unfortunately, my luggage did not!Frances (my neighbors mother) picked me up, ran me to the store to get a few necessities which I had packed in my luggage, and dropped me off at 7:00p.m. to wait in line. My place in line? Number 2
All in all about 25 people slept outside in line, and over 700 showed up to try out. It was a blast! I can't wait to hear in August!  Yes, that is Kid Romeo in the middle...No. I didn't have any idea who he was. Like I watch wrestling!
  Oh, and did I meantion it stormed while we camped outside? Thankfully, we were under an awning!

 It sucks when you have days so bad, you can't even celebrate the good. I have everything worked out for my Survivor casting call, and it will only cost me $45 + food...2 days in Orlando, flight, car...and all I have to front is $45! Crazy, huh?! So I should be ecstatic, right? Well, I'm excited, but that is about as far as it goes. It doesn't run any deeper, because quite honestly, despair is beginning to set in. I am still out of work! This cannot continue to go on. What do I do? Do I continue to wait it out? I am collecting unemployment, but that too will end. (I do still have 18 weeks though.) Do I cave, and just take any ole' job? Wait tables? What do I do?! I had 2 interviews over the last 2 weeks....0 call backs. No idea why on the first one, but the second guy told me up front..."Most of the time when I hire girls your age, they end up more trouble than it's worth." As if my age was 16 or something...I'm 27 for goodness sake! And almost 28 for that matter! Do you have to hit the big 30 in order to get some respect in the real world? And if so, what rock do you want me to live under until then?
This Survivor thing seems to be the only thing holding me up from drowning...and its a shot in the dark. One in a million. It's like playing the lottery with your last dollar. I have to cling to it. Maybe tomorrow will be better...Labels: CBS, job search, Survivor |

| I Will Survive! |
| Sunday, May 18, 2008 |
Since the first season of Survivor in 2001, I have been a huge fan! I have wanted to be on the show, and have applied several times. This year, for the first time ever, CBS is having open casting calls. The only two locations were in Seattle, WA and Wilkes-Barre, PA. Because of the limited flights to Wilkes-Barre, I decided I would have to go to Seattle to apply. I am fortunate to have flight benefits with Delta because of my dad's job, but the fight was still going to cost me $180...money I don't have right now.
Of all the things that have happened in my life over the last 7 months, staying home yesterday, and not flying out to Seattle, was one of the most difficult things for me. Knowing that I couldn't take that money from my daughter and our needs, I had to sacrifice and not go.
Today, I looked on CBS.com and there were 2 more locations listed!!! One is in Florida, just outside of Orlando. A plane ticket will cost me $45! So, I'm going to get my things in order, so that Friday night, I can board a plane to Orlando.
I will be the next Survivor!
