I'd reached a certain despondency:  I'd been waving my particulars in public forums for a long time, without so much as a hello. 

Then all at once, a double-whammy.  A message out of the blue that led to intimacy and a resultant ego-boost, and the following morning waking up to an email calling me to audition.

Now, of course, I have work to do.  I've no wish to show up on Wednesday as unprepared as I was at my last audition.
