Jealous Much?

This guy who is a theatre director worked in my office for one year, before landing a directing fellowship. Since then, his career has kinda taken off, except for a one week stint back in our office before his off-off-Broadway play debuted. Well, now it’s a big hit and it’s been extended until September. Even celebrities have stopped by to see the show, including Paul Newman and Robert Redford. So he stops by our office today to have lunch in the fancy dining room with one of the big wigs he used to work for here (probably trying to raise money, I would imagine. For what I don’t know). So the ladies are always praising him and saying how wonderful things are for him, etc. Then they sorrowfully look at me, like when is something good gonna happen for you? Yeah, when is something good going to happen for me? That’s the million dollar question!

Then, to add insult to injury, there’s a posting the other day on our internal website about how this guy won a screenwriting contest. So I email him to congratulate him and we exchange emails. Turns out he won the contest with only his second script.

So, yep, I’m jealous.

P.S. the house in LA is not going to work out. The guy’s roommate has decided to extend her stay another six months. So it’s back to square one…
