And I shake his hand and I leave, pretty certain I'm going to get this job.

Matter of fact, before I get to the parking lot, I'm already paying my bills with the piddly check.

Three days later, I get an email from Macy's.

Dear Ms.

Shakur, we regret to inform you we cannot hire you at this time, dot, dot, dot.

Your skills are strong.

We'll keep your application on file.

Well, I don't know.

This feeling of relief just came over me.

It was like a message from the universe saying, you better do what you love to do for the rest of your life, because nobody's going to hire the incredible menopausal Hulk.

And then I panicked.

I'm terrified, because what am I going to do?

Well, the next morning, I'm driving home from the gym, which is my health care plan.

and I get a phone call.

It's from a Dr. Jim Boggs.

He says he has a company called Effective Arts and he trains businesses in high stakes interactions and that he's coming to Michigan to an iBank to train the people who ask for cornea donations and that his company hires actors to help facilitate with the training and that he was very impressed with my resume.

I was suspicious because Macy's had just turned me down.

Plus, I had sent my application to millions of people.

He could be a Craigslist crazy.

But then I remembered the audition notice because the online site that posted it warned the actors, we're not familiar with this company, so submit at your own risk.
