The Interviewer

I wrote the following in my head last night, when I couldn't sleep.  It's about my job. Sometimes the Interviewer interviews six people a day.  Some are mothers looking for work, for a little extra cash, while their children are at school. Some are actors who want evening hours, so their days will be free, for the auditions that they're sure will soon be calling.  Some are new arrivals, seeking a foothold in the city.   The Interviewer is new to the city.

So much to do, and so few people to share it with... Some people will follow small snatches of this update, but in whole, this post means nothing to nobody but me. I wish it did. I want to revise the main Misplaced Planet page (it's already 25% done, in secret). I want my sounds and audio page up, playing MP3s. I want lyrics restored to the writing section. I want my productions page upgraded. I want Storybook Park to have its own animation on WilderWorks . I want my Bio and Resume section to not look silly anymore.  I want Stirling to send me a new design for OMKF , so I can implement the many changes I've imagined for it. We have our podcast up, transmitting video, which for now means Brains!! We have the trailer up for the horror movie, Antebellum . We have a composer working on the score for Momentary Engineering . We have the script for the Sci-Fi Short Film Contest hammered out, and that's probably going to be called Signal Decay . A million bab
