Assalamualaikum…

Things that happened today:

1) Interview with Janice Heart, at Theatre Workshop
2) Interview at the Play House for FOH casual worker
3) Reception with principal

Woke up at 7 today, only finding out it was already 8! Sheeesh! Ha ha ha… did not really rush. Sham came online about 930ish as I was having my bowl of cereal. Gave me his new hp number.

I got the 10 o’clock bus to London Road. Went to Gateway to pick up the research project folder. By 11, I went out to Elm Row and grabbed a taxi to meet up with Janice at Stockbridge. Suppose to meet at 1130 but I got there at 1120. It’s a nice theatre…reminded me of Center Stage in Ampang, especially with the throw cushions all around the theatre.

Janice Heart is a freelance designer for the Waters Of Leith environmental theatre; it’s a community project. I went there supposedly for the wardrobe supervisor post, but I ended up telling her my intention on a placement as an Assistant Designer for my MFA project. I’ve got to talk to Pauline about this. Need to call her before Thursday afternoon. I like the way she designs, the process that she goes through is quite interesting, especially with this coming project. I hope I could do it!

I walked around Raeburn Street after that, going in and out of the charity shops there. There is one that has Bridal Outfits, gosh, they are all so nice! And cheap too… By then it was 1230, my stomach was growling for food. I took the 29 to Nicolson Street, and went straight to Palmyra. Had chicken kebab sandwich, yummy! As I ate, I watched Blair on TV. It was at the House of Commons, debating on the Iraq issue. Well, the Brother working at Palymyra was also making funny remarks with another customer about Blair, Iraq, Bush etc I cannot understand a word as they spoke in Arabic. By the time I left Palmyra, it was 1330. I had half an hour to get to the Playhouse. Eventually, the no 7 came and took me back to Elm Row, just in the nick of time. I got to the office of the Playhouse at 1345, and my, with the sun still shining, it was so CHILLY!

I registered at the front desk and waited for Richard Millar the FOH manager. In a matter of minutes, he greeted me and went to his office. I suddenly felt nervous. He asked me a few questions, mostly on work ethics and some problem solving regarding the FOH job I was applying for. Well, it did take about 15 minutes or so. By then, mentally I was quite tired. I took the number 26 at London Road heading back to Clerwood. I went off at St John’s Road and went to TESCO. Bought an Attitude magazine, bread, some frozen dinners and Plax.

Got back to my flat at about 1545, and I have got a reception to attend. I was quite tired then. Well, I just slipped on my Next jacket, and headed off to the conference room.
To my surprise, even I had answered the RSVP, my name was not on the name tags printed out. So, I just scribble out my name and course and country. Well, it was nice, sandwiches, pastries, pate’, met up with the usual group of people etc. The principal then said a few words, see, he is the new principal, just 3 weeks in office.

That’s just about my day today… nite!
