I'm Nightingale, Night for short. And I'm a 25 year old P.A. Well just starting out really. I'm looking for anything really. As long as I have enough money to pay my bills at the end of the month and put food on my table, I really don't care what job I have.

During my spare time I  love to perform hence why I didn't hesitate when Seth asked me to sing tiny dancer. But what surprised me was the fact he asked for my number. Why? Did he have a job for me? That would be nice of him. I live not to far from Hollywood Boulevard. Its exspencive living and it doesn't help it being hard to find a job either.
But somehow I manage to get by.

After I arrive home and I've settle back down I put on my TV and relax. All day I binge watch Criminal Minds. Again I get lost in time and before I know it, it's 7pm and time for me to make my dinner.

I'm in the middle of making myself a fry up
Consisting of:
~Bacon.
~Eggs.
~Sausages.
~Baked Beans.
~Hash Browns.
~Potato Waffles.

When my phone begins to ring.

UNKNOWN NUMBER.

I answer the phone.

ME: Hello?
SETH: Miss. Quinn?
ME: Speaking.
SETH: It's Seth MacFarlane. I was just wondering if you were still looking for a job?
ME: I am indeed.
SETH: Well I'd like to offer you an interview. How does that sound?
ME: That sound fantastic! *A smile beams across my face.*
SETH: Great. So if we say the FOX studios at 6am if you get the job you will start there and then. Is that OK?
ME: That's sounds perfect. Thank you so much Sir this means so much.
SETH: I will see you tomorrow. Get some sleep. Oh before you go. You have a brilliant voice.
ME: Thank you Sir.
SETH: Good night. Miss. Quinn.
ME: Good night.

The phone call ends and I have no clue what has just happened. I forget about my food completely and get snapped out of my daze by the smoke alarm.

"Shit!" I hustle and begin to waft away the smoke. I open a window and waft the smoke out and turn off my alarm.

I eat what wasn't burnt, wash my dishes and head to bed. Settling in bed has always been a challenge for me as I have insomnia. It's at its worst when I'm excited for something the next day. For example I can't sleep the day before my birthday or I can't sleep on Christmas eve. Those are when it's at is worst. Some days I'll be surviving on 2 hours sleep. Others I'd be surviving on 12 hours. And the worst is surviving on no sleep at all.

I try to settle and relax to my surprise it actually works this time and I can't wait to see what tomorrow entails.
