Yep. Life is good. Actually, no it's not, it's fucking awesome!
Apart from the bit where I don't have any income because I can't find a job.
I had a very scary experience today... I was driving past my local McDonalds and they had a big sign up saying "Hiring Crew". Yeah you know what I'm about to say... I seriously contemplated going in and filling out an application! Is this seriously what I've come to?
I mean... my life other than than seriously is phenomenal... most guys would kill for what I have! Check it out:
- Gorgeous, sexy, poly, intelligent, wife who loves me unconditionally (thank all the gods) :)
- Amazing friends, both vanilla and kinky
- Three fantastic, healthy, intelligent, beautiful, spirited children
- A new gorgeous, sexy, clever, funny and kinky woman in my life that I hope will become a larger part of it
And the list goes on...
But unfortunately the great spectre of money rears its ugly head, meaning I need a fucking job!
I know I'm not stupid. Far from it! I know I have skills, even some that may be of use to someone! So why do people not even have the courtesy to return calls, reply to emails, etc?
Methinks it's time to give Mr Niceguy a rest. Time to get Mr Dontfuckwithme out for a run.
Let's see what he can do...

Go figure
What is it about people that won't hire you because you're "over-qualified"? What a crock that is...
Might as well just say "Oh no you're too good for us. We couldn't hire you as you might actually have some independent thought! We want someone with no talent whatsoever, that way we can pay them crap money and then fire their ass when they don't perform!"
Now in my mind, if someone wants a job with you and they have the skills and desire to do that job at the money on offer... give them the damn job! Ok, they may get bored in a couple of years, but at least you get someone decent in that time! Who stays in jobs for more than a few years these days anyway? An employer should not expect any more than that, in my book. Gone are the days of 'a job for life'. Shit, my brain would melt if I had the same job all my working career!!
I tell you, it's getting to the point where I can here myself saying "Would you like fries with that?" *shudder*

Strike two
Hmmm, yes it's taken me a while to get to my second attempt. This has been due mainly to the (then) imminent redundancy become oh so real... and of course, the fall-out emotionally was a little (read: a lot) more intense than I expected/wanted to admit.
Mostly through the sense of self-pity now... getting over myself slowly :) lol Attitude is just a decision after all, though the emotions are all too real.
So time to move on. Of course, while all this happens, life carries on regardless! Attended the most wonderful party on Saturday (hi guys! *mwuah*) and had such a blast... proving again that intelligent conversation and great company (especially the kinky kind) beats a drunken night hands-down!!
Yesterday I held auditions for the play I am directing: "Secondary Cause of Death" by Peter Gordon. It is an Agatha Christie spoof and is very, very funny! Think a combination of Basil Fawlty and Inspector Clouseau and you will have some idea. I am absolutely delighted with the cast I have to work with... there really is some amazing talent in the amateur theatre ranks in New Zealand! More details in later posts regarding progress... never fear, I will let you know dates and how/where to book so you can come along!
It is my full length directorial debut, so I am a little nervous. But the process so far has been huge fun, so it's all good! I have been involved in theatre since I was 13, having meet my gorgeous love in my second ever show (yes I was 14 at the time!), so theatre has always been good to me. :)

Virgin territory
Well this is a new experience for me... I guess that the happenings of the last wee while have got me thinking even more than is normal.
So why not put it down in writing? Maybe even get some feedback form friends? :)
The prospect of being made redundant (again) is surprising me in it's lack of intensity. Yes, it's stressful, but it is more a feeling of new opportunity rather than lost opportunity. Remains to be seen what direction that opportunity takes me, but I have the confidence in my abilities to make it work regardless :) so it's all good!
The whole polyamorous journey has, to date, been an amazingly positive one... I feel blessed in the choices we are making as a couple, both with our relationship with each other and also in the friendships we are developing. For those of you who don't know, my beautiful, sexy and kinky wife is petite1nz :) and her Dom (velvet_steel) is fast becoming a very close friend to me as well - and how they relate and feel for each other makes my heart sing! <3
Life is feeling busy but good...
