You're all giants and I'd feel like a leprechaun around you guys.

Which?

Does he ever listen to ANYONE???

Sounds like the 70s one using various bits by Verdi. It's good.

The Moon's A Balloon by David Niven.

:HUGS:

LUCK!!!!

The worst part of it is that three months ago it would be no big deal and they're not like insanely out of price range, but my finances are in the toilet lately.

I'd actually love to work more behind the scenes with staging and production, but that's not terribly likely without relevant practice, at least not here.
That sounds so cool doing that scrutinizing.

Discipline vs needing something new. The eternal struggle.

Oh absolutely. Try finding someone who shares your interests to date under fifty when it includes opera first and foremost, and it's impossible really.

Yeah I definitely feel we are coming from the same kind of place here, so that's good to have someone I can talk about it with some common experience.
That's really cool to be involved in science at all I think, even just an office job.

Yeah the same sort of situation here, except via subsidies and donations, and of course high culture feels the pinch first when the economy is in the doldrums, as it's an extravagance for most.
Being office work, they can always cut costs that way first as I don't effect the actual staging in a significant way.I'm…

So this is what I'm doing wrong.

I know. I understand why seeing as the Met just hemorrhages money losses, and I'd rather be employed at all, especially as I have to be really not being a citizen, but not fun.
I'm just scared to just say to hell with them, as I got this job by the way of interning, and jobs with my qualifications and lack of…

I'm sorry I opened up and old wound here.

Should I watch this?

I have those too, but I have paid them off more or less, which I know probably makes me sound privileged, but just isn't the case.
Life really is a struggle right now, but I'm sure it'll get better.
What really triggered it was a 15 percent pay cut or look for a new job choice. I took the cut, out of fear.

Every year I end up owing them money, which makes no sense whatsoever to me.

I insist on only me buying my drinks too. Not for any reason like Ellie said, but for an experience I don't ever wish to have happen again.
