This thread is for TLs regarding a POD from OTL within your own life. For example, "WI I wasn't fired from my first job in June 2006?" Then I'd try to imagine what my life would be like right now if that hadn't happened.

So, here goes...

I would've stayed on at Chunky's eventually picking up more hours and not having to work at McDonald's anymore. That following January, I become a waiter there, and get a big promotion in the amount of tips I get. I now have a steady job, that allows me to do mostly anything I want during the summer months, and also at home on breaks.

But that's only mostly anything. I can't do what I really want to do, and that's to act. I can no longer make company meetings for Theater in the Open, and I renounce my apprenticeship. I just don't have the time to devote to the company. After all, I usually am working nights and weekends. When the recession comes around this summer, I wouldn't have to worry about trying to find a job like many of my other friends have, and I just go on working. My days are free for going to the beach and whatnot, and I can spend my money as I please

I have good friends there, but not as good as my friends at Theater in the Open. I eventually go to see their rendition of Peer Gynt, and rembember how much fun I had with them, back when I was an apprentice. I make a decision right then and there. At the end of the summer, I tell Justin, my boss, not to expect me back the next summer. I also send an email to Jeff, the theater director, and tell him that I want to come back as an apprentice. And just in time to have a say in the show we pick for next season.
