Lets see....
My favorite errand of the day actually happened twice. I went to 3rd street and then the beverly center. I went on an interview too. For a weird weird job. I submitted a resume on line and at the end it said "set up interview time" and though I thought it was fishy, I did it anyway. After I sent in my ideal time I blew it off, until a few days later I got a call! She was confirming my interview time. So I went on the interview today. And just like the email said; it was in fact a house off olympic blvd! I thought about just not going, but I went anyway...is there a reoccurring theme here? Anyway, long story made much much shorter: the interview process includes a three week trial period in which each person must select a day when he or she must attempt to fill a selected LA hot-spot with their friends and their friends friends in an effort to ensure that the applicant, for the event manager position, is a real "team-player" and a "go-getter" and someone who will make the company money in the long run from their marketing strategy and emphasis on networking and pushing products. Ummmm....so the whole "group interview" was really not an interview at all! It was this hot chick, who looks like she is the ultimate party girl, telling us what this "company" is all about and what we will do, if selected. Then the individual interview consisted of her asking "why do you think you would be good at this position?" ... I think these people do this every week and just get idiots to fill venues and then they pick one really good one to actually stay on staff. I don't buy this "oh we just want to see if you fit" BS. Though they do pay you and there would be more money should you actually make it into their "team"....is this a pyramid scheme?
Next: I have seriously started thinking about my life's direction. Up to this point I had pretty much told myself that there is safety in numbers, and there are more behind the scenes people in entertainment...so why not just become them. But I don't think I want that. I think I need more. I think I want to be the one who follows through, the one on-air. I just need to keep my options open and really let this idea air out. A lot. Actually it is not an idea that just came to me, I've been thinking about it a lot. And for a long time. I'm obsessed with radio and I think it has always been there, in the back of my head. Either that or teaching. All this honesty is a little crazy tonight.
So I'm beginging to figure things out a little more. I think this will give me a little more purpose and direction.
Still no word on Cory. Or 90210. Maybe the story will just fizzle away. One the books never printed. I'll keep all my fans up-to-date. Like I have fans.
