I am afraid I may have gotten sidetracked. In all the chase for good NPS scores and compliance to the business rules and all that--which is not at all a bad thing, since Saint Paul does admonish us to be good employers--I might have become satisfied with the scores. In short, being satisfied with the means and forgetting the end I had hoped to achieve.
I remembered only recently that the reason I wanted to get full-time employment was to not put pressure on the writing and the acting to put food on the table. Even moreso, the day job was supposed to provide for me tuition for singing classes, a skill I severely lack in the theatre industry.
So, I am glad I was reminded of this goal that I had: to set aside money for voice lessons. Well, I guess it's never too late to start saving.
