11 days...
First off, I got a call at 12:30 from one of the managers at work. Shirley told me that Wells told her to tell me that he had to cancel my shift. Even though it was my last day. Yeah. Shirley didn't even know it was my last day until he told her. There are two reasons I can see for telling me not to come in. [1] They genuinely didn't need me to come in [2] It was a kind of "fuck you" for leaving on such short notice kinda thing. Either way I don't give a shit, because it was kinda nice not having to deal with work one more day. But on the other hand it was fucking obnoxious. Because it's another $20 I could have had, which means nothing to Regal Cinema, but it makes a difference to me. Whatever. I don't have to deal with their shit anymore. I'm officially done.
Yesterday I had gotten a call from a place in LA that I emailed my resume to. A guy named John called me and asked when I was gonna be in LA, and I said I wasn't technically moving there yet. He said to give them a call if I do find myself there, and he gave me a phone number. The rest of the day yesterday, I was thinking that if I don't get any other job offers or opportunities, in NY or otherwise, I shouldn't discount this. So I wrote down a bunch of questions and called him back today. He was really nice and laid back and answered my questions and was really helpful. It'd be an unpaid internship (boo) but I'd learn a lot about the business and I'd be in LA! (yay)
They're a small managment type place in Beverly Hills (ooh la la) and they need help pretty regularly so I got the impression that if I am still interested a couple months from now, I could still go out there. So my plan for the moment, is to wait a couple months and see if I get any interviews or offers or whatever in NY, especially something that pays. But if I don't, I think I can move to LA and give it a shot. The internship is flexible, so I think I'd be able to get a part time job to help pay the bills until something else happens. But I'd have my family out there and it sounds like a great learning experience and working environment. And the money Marilyn left me should allow me to live in LA without getting a substantial paycheck for a little while, I think. And even if I go out there and fail, at least I tried, right? But anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. We'll see how that all pans out.
Nell, Laura and I had dinner in the food court and then saw "King Arthur." The last of our free movies. It was kind of sad, knowing the next time I go there I'll have to pay. But what can you do? So now I just have another week and a half of hanging around and emailing possible job people. Kinda boring really. I hope I can at least hang out with my friends a bunch. Maybe I can convince Ben to come hang out for a bit. That'd be wicked fun.
