Funding ran out, and as of June 30th, I'm out of a job.

Because it's a Force Reduction and not like, a firing or something, HR is going to be helping me connect with other positions here at the U that could be good fits, plus I get a month's pay severance.

Still sucks.

NYC bound in less than 24 hours. I've got a week off to perform, come home, get my shit together, and re-orient for the next phase of my career.

I always knew that this was a temporary position. I guess I was expecting more notice.

Edit so that there's a positive note to this.

Showed up to the last pre-Carnegie rehearsal last night. I'm glad that I did, because only one other tenor showed up and he's not the most confident singer. Got complimented by the Maestro at the end of rehearsal for carrying the tenor line against 15 altos, 15 sopranos and a quad of powerful basses.
