The phone hadn't rang yet, my anxiety had kicked in and I felt like a school girl waiting for her crush to call for the first time, but for me it was my dream job on the other line. I was nervous although they had called and left a message the day before I wasn't sure what to expect next. To me just like my previous interview ,with a major record label,it was a fairy tale. I had dreamed about it, fantasized, spoke about what if this happened. If only I hadn't missed the call yesterday or my phone hadn't died because I was speaking for an hour to a friend about me getting a new job.
It had been a little over two months and although I was applying no one responded to my applications since November. My family began to put pressure on me "Why haven't you gotten any new interviews? are you applying for jobs?" they asked. I was applying but saying I was just being selective wasn't enough for them, they needed to see to believe. Overall this behavior wasn't "Classic Vic-E" but I had faith that I would get a call from someone soon. And I did but now I had called about three times and left a message and no one had called me back yet. Negative thoughts crept into my mind "Maybe someone was already hired. Maybe calling me was a mistake.". I needed to stop myself if it was for me it would all happen.
So I decided to surf the web and came across a new show with ,Giancarlo Espositio, who I always remember as Juilian from Spike Lee's School Daze. I went to check his credits on IMDb (I'm weird I know) and saw a quote "My advice for achieving success is to make a career choice that reflects your passion. Then work your craft a little bit each day-even if someone's not paying you to do It. Try to balance your social life with your educational (or professional) life, and have patience.". I thought wow these are the words that I'm trying to live by.
