Would you ever want to do a residency?

(Chuckles) No…

Why not?

I don’t think that’s my… personality…

Not even your characters?

No — it’s still me that has to show up, get into the changing rooms, put on the make-up to “be” the characters. I don’t think I can be bothered with a residency, honestly.

What if it was the only thing anyone was offering? What if we went bankrupt and that was the only option to make a bit of money?

Well, then, yeah — I’ll DO IT — but I won’t LIKE IT…

Okay… so you are CAPABLE of doing it — if you really had, had, HAD to do it…

Yeah? Of course I’m CAPABLE of doing it… why wouldn’t I be?!

I don’t know! I don’t know if you had a travel bug in you or something, you’d rather be on a “world tour” and change locations all the time, or if you’re actually okay with just staying in the one place for a while, go to work — come back home to your family on the same evening.

(Sigh) Maybe I do like travelling… sometimes… but not that much these days. These recent years — definitely not.

I don’t really want to do a residency because when I’m home with you — I know me — I don’t want to go out. I don’t want to DO anything.

If I have to physically pack my bags, get on a plane — remove myself from you — then I’m in “work mode” and I can muster up the energy to just get through it.

When I come home — when I’ve flown home — I want to RELAX — I want to fully enjoy that RELAXING TIME — with you.

I actually think a residency would mess me up a bit — like I’m going in between both work and relax modes?! All the time?! — It doesn’t suit me. I can see how it works for other people, but I personally just don’t gel with it.

You’d rather more of a separation…

Yes.

Well… maybe that’s why you’re there… right now… and I’m here… and you’re not quitting — not yet…

But then I’m also constantly YEARNING for you…

Oh, you’re just not happy ANYWHERE. You’re only happy when I’m with you…

YES!!! THAT TOO!!!!!!!!

(Sighing… chuckling… shaking my head?!) (Smiling)…

I love you. I just want to be with you. All the time. If you wanted to join me — if I’m at work — that’s fine. If YOU want me to do a residency — I’ll still do it — that’s fine.

No, I don’t have any particular preferences about whether or not you do a residency.

You don’t?

I don’t know… maybe I’ll feel different about it if we had kids. I can see how — if we had kids — a residency might make more sense…

Oh, I see… yeah… I guess I wouldn’t mind it either if we had kids…

Why the sudden change if we had kids?!

Well — I don’t want to be that kind of Dad — if we have kids and I can organise a residency, I wouldn’t mind…

Hmm… yeah… I guess it would just feel a little more balanced…

But without kids?! — I WANT YOU ALL TO MYSELF. ALL THE TIME. ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.

(LOL)…. Are you waiting for me to say, “Don’t quit. Don’t even resign or give notice. Just finish the contract that you’ve already signed…”

A part of me is curious, yes, how come you haven’t said that? You’re just willing to let me resign? Give notice? 2 weeks? 6 months?! What if I really resign right now and it’s 2 weeks notice only?!?!?

2 weeks would still feel abrupt with where you’re at in your career — 6 months I think would be reasonable and polite…

(Raising eyebrow)…

Yeah, I’m not going to tell you to finish your contract if you really don’t want to because… I’ve been through it, too. It sucks. It’s a horrible feeling. I wouldn’t want you to live through that if you really didn’t want to.

And it’s not only me. Other Millennial friends too. We’ve all been through it by now. We’re now on the other side of that — the Millennial burn out. The Millennial resignations. The Millennial “mid-life” crises… we’re all — mostly — now on the other side…

I know about some mutual friends, I don’t know about many other friends…

I know some childhood friends… and high school friends…

Oh…?

Yeah — it’s way more common than people realise… and it’s not only an Australian issue, it’s happening to friends in other countries too…

Huh… I didn’t know that…

Nobody’s going to report on it?! What are they telling HR in their exit surveys?! Whatever polite and standard responses. There’s NO DATA — on the REAL REASONS — people are resigning!

It’s a human experience. Millennials — we’re just like — FUCK THIS!!! I’M LEAVING!!! — THAT’S THE REAL REASON!!!

(LOLOLOLOLOLOL)

See? You’re not alone in this experience but you’re very UNIQUE in your particular situation — that context — not everybody has millions and millions of Instagram followers… you gotta tread that very carefully…

Otherwise — ?

What’s your worst case scenario?

My parents take you in?! You live at OUR house?! In the spare GUEST bedroom?!?!!

(LOLOLOLOLOL) Why am I not with you in YOUR bedroom?!

I don’t know?!?!?! Because — you’re gonna be a “good boy” and we’re not even having sex before marriage if you’re coming with your tail between your legs and you lost ALL your clout, all your money?!?!?!?! Somehow — they froze your accounts or worse — and you lost EVERYTHING?!?!?!

(Chuckling) I’m kinda looking forward to that reality, actually… what else happens?!

Then you need to get A JOB — you’re not allowed to claim CENTRELINK in Australia!!! You’re not coming back to do that!!! — GET A JOB — push some trolleys at Coles, Woolies or Aldi?!?! Whatever — GET A JOB!!! (lolololol)

Hahahahahahahahahahahah…

So you wanna go from “burn out” from dancing and singing — to pushing trolleys?! You’re still working your body — you still wanna do that, even if you’re physically burnt out?!?!

Honestly pushing trolleys sounds like SO MUCH FUN right now compared to what I’m ACTUALLY DOING!!!

(LOLOLOLOLOL) Stop it……………… (smiles)…………………….

I’m earning more than you right now if your only job will be pushing trolleys…

(SMILES) — YOU CAN BE MY SUGAR MOMMA.

(LOL) Yes, yes, okay — fine. I’ll take you in. Come back. Quit. Push some trolleys. I’ll support you… (smiles)…
