Shit Happens

Well, quite a develpoment has happened since my last entry. The one thing I think most people dread has happened to me. I have been LAID-OFF! Yep, it actually does happen to people but maybe only to auto workers and people in small towns. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though, I should have seen it coming. I could see things were really slow at work and I wasnt exactly thriving in my postion. I would be lying if I said things were going great for me there. I was unhappy and frustrated on a daily basis. I had been put in a position that I really knew nothing about but I was asked to give it a try. I had moderate success but I eventually knew it wasnt for me.



So now what? Well I am on the hunt once again. Sending out my resume here and there, sitting down and doing the interview thing. I really dont mind the interviews, I feel I could talk my way into (almost) anything. The worse part, of course, is when they dont call back, or when they call to say "we appreciate your interest..." blah-blah-blah. It sucks but it is what it is. No time to dwell on bad luck, got bills to pay and pets to feed. Besides, as I previously explained, I was ready to leave that place. Better this than being fired. I have learned that one of the most important things in getting a job is references. Oh yes, they do call and ask about how you were. I know some people that just up and leave their jobs if they dont like it. No 2 week notice, not even a call. WRONG-O!!

Maybe I should do something crazy with my life...again. Maybe I should attend film school. It is what I WANT to do. But could I? It would be a committment on a level I have never attempted before. But I am scared. Scared to not follow through on it. Scared to be a failure. I guess I have time now to think it over.
