So much and yet so little is going on, I'm caught in the paradox between the two.
Thu: Career fair
Sat: Filming
Sun: Father's Day
Tue: Grandfather's Birthday
I need to print out my resume for the career fair after I confirm that I'll be going with someone, otherwise it'll be a very lonely day.
I've been talking with John a lot more than usual on the phone. It's nice to be in touch of course although I'm still not a phone person. It would have been better if a large portion wasn't me realizing that I was missing a lot of things that could well be at their place. For one, my digital camera has gone walkabout... It and its bag are missing. I recently reconfigured my entire room and there isn't anywhere it could possibly be. That's kind of heart breaking really. I also forgot the scream mask for LOTT at his place.
Speaking of lost things, we lost John for the LOTT filming. Thankfully we're not going to attempt doing anything like the whole filming right then... Siri Collins, new C80 recruit, was kind enough to do the opening narration to LOTT:TTTT when we were last together. I had assumed she'd be out of town by the next filming but she leaves three days after. Well, the role of the narrator was always the elf leader Galadrial in the movies so that role falls to her. So this Saturday my primary goal will be to do the scenes with the tree elves in such a way that I can add John in later. I was going to try and do Gohan too... But I'm not sure. We still probably should, we'll have so many people there... But in a way with John gone I can focus on just a few scenes and do them really well... Plus I can set up numerous effects shots.
I typed my grandfather a page letter thanking him for all sorts of good memories, experiences, and the basic capacity to not be homeless. I signed it and mailed it to him today. It's not much but I don't have much to give. I already offer them my services night or day for house and yard work, always for free for holidays and things. But they've been having worse health than usual and it's been so rainy it's been abnormally long between bouts of me helping them. I keep offering my services by phone and email but... I guess I'll just wait. I wish I had more to offer.
My dad registered to work at the cannery again sometime at the start of July, a week or two earlier than last year. He may be called back to do a bit more for the Census once they recompile things. It'd be interesting if he did both overlapping for a bit since Census sets your own hours. It'll be really good for him to be at STEADY work though. I just hope he goes right to fork lift faster than last year. Then he can be happy, paid well, and motivated to do a bit more. I need to keep better track of his income from the start though for tax purposes and stuff.
And then of course there's me. I've been unemployed a very long time. I should have done the census but my student loans are so weird, I was worried about starting and then stopping them again. I wonder if this career fair will be my big break. I trimmed my beard quite short, cut my hair a bit although I need to do a better job before then... I know if I get to work for the fair this year I'm going to enjoy it a great deal and I don't want to miss out on that, but at the same time I really need a long term job... One I am capable of doing, one that won't make me pass out in strange circumstances... I just need to start paying my loans, all of them... I can barely make the gate loans. I owe more than most of our friends... I'll probably be stuck here for a while which sucks because that means I have to keep taking care of my parents too. They don't do a single chore... At least my dad occasionally works and gets food here... That's something though.
So I do chores around the house and I look for work and I prepare for filmings... But that leaves a lot of time to myself, especially when my parents chain smoke and I can't leave my room. As you all already know from facebook and stuff, I've decided to go back through all of the .hack shows and games. It's been really refreshing. I'm almost done with Sign and I got a few hours in on Infection thanks to the hospitality of Jeremy and Jordan. It cut some of my anxiousness to play although it sucks not having my own PS2 or tv. John's going to try and hook me up with his PS2 and the vga adapter although it makes the image fairly fuzzy... But it's the only practical way to play the kind of time those games will take up between important life things.
I guess that's all for me for now. Longer post than usual but a lot of stuff builds up.
