waitress, casting...
8:34… I just painted my nails. I haven’t done that in a long time. Red. Christmas. But it won’t stay on for that long. Red is the first to chip and look cheap and trashy.
Life. My life. L.A. Los Angeles… I just got a job at Outback Steakhouse. I’m starting next week… as a server. Yeah, that’s right. I’m starting as a server, even though I’ve never worked at a restaurant before. I cater, so they never questioned my capability. I’m a little scared… I’ve never been a waitress before. How am I going to remember all the different things that go with the meal, and all the abbreviations, and all of the mixed drinks and what’s in them, and what drinks and sides I’m supposed to suggest with each meal? It seems so overwhelming right now. I have to take a test on it, and get it 100%. This is why I didn’t do real college. I don’t like studying. But I am thankful that I got a job, all on my own. It wasn’t my mom or dad getting it for me. I got a real job, that’s going to pay really well, all by myself, and it’s only 60 seconds from my house. Wow. What more could I ask for? Talk about rad.
Let’s see. Human interaction, a.k.a. friendships… yeah, that’s a tough one. Anyone I meet in catering lives at least 35 miles away from me, and that 35 miles may not seem like far, but when it takes you an hour to get anywhere, then it’s far. I’ve tried to coordinate with a couple people I’ve met, but it never seems to work out. Too far, different schedules, not enough time… the list goes on. And there aren’t that many people that I want to put that effort out for. I basically have 2 friends. A 28 year-old girl from Hawaii, who is currently in Hawaii for 2 months for the holidays, so I’m not hanging out with her, and a 35 year-old bartender who is busy all the time. He has a life, and I don’t. So needless to say, that never works out. So there you go. My friendships in a nutshell. Yeah, not the greatest thing ever. What do I do in my free time? Yeah, interesting you should ask. Um, I sit on the computer and research my career, and find casting notices and submit my headshot and resume to them. That’s basically it. I sit at the house on my computer. Really glamorous I know. Heh, but really, it’s not so bad. I get to relax in pjs all day, and run errands, and I have my time open if a catering job comes along. I do work almost every single night, so there’s that. I cater, if you hadn’t caught that…
Oh, the acting? How’s that going? Oh, um, good question. I’ll let you know when I do. But seriously, right now, nothing’s really happening. I know it’s gonna take a good solid 2 years for anything to actually start flowing. I’ve only been here 2 months. Don’t rush me.
