An Update on My Semi-Boring Life

Side note: I hope the title of this doesn’t need a “part 1” attached to it…

Anyways, sorry again for being a shitty blogger. I figure I owe you peeps another explanation for my absence from cyberspace. After three horrible months of being unemployed I’ve finally got a job (which I’ve had since October). What’s that you say? Didn’t I have time to write some blog entries while being unemployed for three months? No, no I didn’t have enough time to write some entries for my blog during the three months I spent not working and watching reruns of Golden Girls and the Martha Stuart Show. Jeez! I may have been unemployed, but I had a life!

Actually I spent those three months looking for work, blowing through my savings, and being paralyzed by the fear that is the post-college graduate world.  I was also taking really great care of my 7-year-old chocolate lab Max. Yeah, he’s the one you’ve seen about a billions pictures of on instagram and facebook because I have no life. Truthfully, having Max here with me during my bout of pitiful depression was very therapeutic. Taking care of him kept me from beating myself up too much.  But with some luck, right timing, and with the help of a friend, I secured a temporary job at Girl Scouts of Orange County. That’s right, I’m a Product Sales Assistant. Which basically means I help the Product Sales department with paperwork from their Nut and Cookies Sale! Yes, I know where they keep extra boxes of cookies. No, I’m not allowed to give them too you. Sorry.

I actually like my job. I’m making more money per hour than I used to, which is nice, and my coworkers are pretty awesome. The only mishap I’ve made is getting my finger caught between the freight elevator door and the little space it retracts up into. It took a nice little chunk of my finger with it and I had to fill out a lot of paperwork. I was mostly just embarrassed that I let a freight elevator almost eat my hand. But other than all that, I’m enjoying my time there. I know I’ve got it until the end of March (Cookie season!) and after that, I’m planning on making the trek up to LA to continue chasing the dream. Another terrifying bridge to cross when I get there, but it’s also an exciting thought. I’m still doing rewrites on a script that is technically in Development with a couple of my friends and myself.

So that’s basically all that’s been going on with me lately. I’m still trying to save money for a trip to somewhere/anywhere I haven’t been. Oh! And I’m taking scuba lessons this month! So, that’s another cool thing to look forward to. And I hope to blog more! So, keep looking out for more of my entries!

Peace out!
