Dilemma

Sp00n · 18 Apr 2006 at 14:01

I got a letter through last week from itv saying i have an audition for xfactor, trouble is i dont think my boss is going to be able to give me the day off because himself and another guy are offsite on that specific day which would only leave 1 person.

I could probably get half the day off but i doubt i will be seen anywhere near the time that the letter says i will be (8am).

I'm frustrated, i really wanted this to happen for me but now i dont think it is, i don't want to tell my boss why i need the day off as i'm worried what he'll think about me (my commitment to the job etc..), i'm just cheesed off and i don't know what to do

And on the 8th day god invented sickies

I think thats out the window now as i've allready asked him for that day off, might be a bit suspicious when i suddenly get ill on that day!

You just go to the xfactor website and print off/send off the application form.

I'm pretty supprised no1 else has applied for it, we have thousands of members, chances are someone else here has!

If i didn't think i could sing, then i wouldnt be getting so worked up about this!

My boss has just emailed me basically saying that i can have the afternoon off, but not the morning as there are only 1 person per site (2 sites) if i have the whole day off.

I'm gonna tell him why i need the day off, that way he knows the full situation.

Personal i would pay to Not be on telly but if it's your thing then Go for it with both hands and never look back.

This isn't about being on tv, it's about trying to get somewhere in the record industry. It's the only place that i can think of that will give me a shot.

"So there is absolutely no way? even if i pursuade martin to come in early? and i try and get back as early as possible?
The thing is... i've got an audition for x-factor at 8am on that morning and i dont know what time i'd be in london till.

This is a pretty big opportunity for me, but work is my first priority."

Thats what i plan on sending to my boss (he's out the office today).

I would give you guys a taster, infact i probably will at some point but i've had problems recording on my pc for ages so
