a message for the UK newbies

As soon as i got back to the commons after i got terminated, I called Brad Rex (the vice president of EPCOT) and left messages for him - he didn't get back to me. I called all kinds of people in EPCOT to do withb our well being but there was no luck with getting answers etc. I spoke to the union, and they said i didnt have a leg to stand on because i'd only been working for 62 days which is still in the 90 probation period. Which really sucks.

I went for dinner to Lonestar after I got back to the commons, and the manager offered me a job! which was pretty sweet. and Brandon who works at bennigans said i could get a job there tomorrow. But it's all about a WORKING VISA!!!! you need to have one. I got on the internet and looked into Universal and found auditions for the haloween horror season - i went there today and they said i need evidence that i can work in the USA. which i havent got! and will take ages to get. i'd need a sponser and all kinds of things.

i went to my acting class that i started going to a month ago and was told about SLEUTHS MURDER MYSTERY DINNER SHOW. I saw it 2 years ago, its pretty cool! its an english murder mystery. I passed on my CV and photo to my friend who has a friend who is a manager there. I also went in 2 days ago and left a note for the casting director with my number etc. then i also went back today and gave them my CV and photo again because i dont think the casting director had received it. I left there and didn't have any questions answered so i went again tonight and spoke to one of the higher managers and finally got some answers. I explained EVERYTHING to her. So tomorrow now I'm going to call the casting director and arrange to meet her. casting is in late october, should be enough time to get a visa from london. if the audition goes well, then i'd hopefully be there by november time. iv heard that you can also have more than one job on your working visa so i might take up lonestars offer!

the past week has been the most intense week of my life! im sleeping on a floor in my martes apartment, iv got my jeep that i have no idea what to do with after i go! im going here there and everywhere sorting things out, iv been in correspondance with an immigration attourney and am speaking to him tomorrow and hopefully will get some help and move forward with this cherade! iv booked a meetingh with an immigration office at immigration at the airport on friday. the audition for universal is tomorrow night (tues) and im going to that regardless of not having evidence of a visa - i jst need to talk to someone about my situation and see if they can help at all. the guys at my acting class are so cool, they're calling ppl who mighjt be able to employ me or get auditions, im staying at a girls apartment ad from wednesday, this time i'll be promoted to a couch! hehe i havent stopped since saturday. its all going so fast.

iv made a really special friend here too, you guys will get to know her, her name is Hayley - shes my best friend! she's an absolute star! i love her to bits and im going to miss her so much! but if all goes well, i'll be coming back her by the end of the year. im coming back in mid sept to see a concert in the house of blues - i got tickets a month ago. and at christmas with my family. there's no way are the management at the UK pavillion going to ruin my dreams. no way! its jst a slight set back.

Chloe: i cant beleive it! we were going to have such a cool time here together! its gutting! but im coming back my dear! and we'll see each other as much as possible!

Alex: my mum!! (by the way everyone, alex was such a great friend to me! she really was, well still is!!!) i was going to email you about it all but its been such a rush. i cant believe it. i knew from the moment scott spoke to me about all the stuff that i apparently wasnt doing properly that something bad was going to happen. shame it had to happen now! after 2 months of being here! we'll definately meet up in the uk! no questions asked! love you!! xx

iv wanted to work here for 9 years! since i was 9 years old!!!!! can u beleive that?! now they have shattered my childhood dream. i went through an 18 month interview process. i had my phone interview back in jan 04! now its ended like this. treasure EVERY

Hey Mate,

Am really sorry i couldn't say goodbye to you before you left, my work shifts have been a bit stupid n haven't been at the commons much.

You really didn't deserve to go the way you did, they were bang out of order and i know everyeon here agrees. You're a top guy and will be missed.

Best of luck with everything in the future, and hopefully we'll all see you wen u get back out here!

Take care,

Bry
