Oh, NBC. I love you. Why do you keep pushing me away?
No, seriously. I've realized, finally, that finding a temporary or disposable job is no longer an option. I can no longer simply apply to every local job I find on careerbuilder or monster or craigslist, like I've been doing. I thought that the wider ranger of positions would widen my chances... but it's backfired. I am, as of the turn of the year, being very discerning about my choices. What I want is to work in film or television. That's nothing new, and I don't think I'm remiss in saying my education and experiences have prepared me for such positions. Furthermore, I've now officially opened myself to positions virtually anywhere in the world. For a long time, I wanted to stay near home if possible for the sake of my family and friends. That hasn't changed, but if I don't go for what I really want now, I may never have the gumption.
What all this means is, I've actually been scouring the NBC Universal website looking for opportunities. I narrowed it down to about 5 I'd like to apply for, as well as the page programs. Why NBC? I honestly don't know. All I can say is that Thursday's lineup really resonates with me. I adore Late Night with Jimmy Fallon -- watch it every night. And Kenneth the Page on 30 Rock? That's a real thing. The page program has been around since 1933, and helped Captain Kangaroo, Regis, and Eva-Marie Saint all get their starts.
Ugh. But I really love Conan -- have as long as I can remember. And there's no doubt that NBC has completely and utterly screwed him over. Suddenly, I despise NBC.
How silly of me.
p.s. Jay Leno sucks. Step down, please.
