I emailed a company about a work placement today. It's a smaller publishing house and they didn't even have a "careers" link on their website or anything to indicate at all that they do work placements, but that doesn't mean they don't offer them. So, I emailed a cover letter and my CV to their contact email address ( Read more... )

I have two days (more like 1.5 now) to read a 342 page book. We'll see how that goes.

Not that I have to read the book at all. I just think it will look good if I do.

Hey, so, I'm employed. Which I am happy about, really, I'm just in that mental period of adjustment from "I have the whole day free and I can do whatever I want forever!" to "I have to be at work from this time to this time? Oh, fine."

Yes, so, I went to my family doctor this morning to have my plantar's wart lasered again, since the first round ( Read more... )

I did manage 10 pages in the moleskine today. Since writing from home, I've only been able to manage 3-5 pages a day, on average, and felt like I was getting nowhere with the first draft. But today it actually felt like accomplished something with the novel, which is good. Still waiting to hear from Awesome Boss about my revised synopsis. I don't ( Read more... )

At least neither visit was for me, but running my dad on three hours worth of errands is never usually an agreeable task. Don't get me wrong, I love my dad, but like a typical man, he needs to complain about everything. The dentist went smoothly, at least I thought so, and the DMV never fails to group together the most interesting people known to ( Read more... )

I just applied for an Office PA position for a Bollywood co-production starting in Philly at the end of September and finishing up around November (when Awesome Boss gets back from overseas.) I'm hoping it's the same one a PA on my last film mentioned. She wasn't going to work on the James L. Brooks movie shooting here because she was already going ( Read more... )

I applied online for two more jobs yesterday. One with NBC, one with a production company called Sharp Entertainment that produces shows for Bravo, Food Network, and several others. Both are in NYC. I doubt if I'll hear anything back, as I typically don't when do I online job applications, but we'll see. Half of me just wants to feel productive ( Read more... )

I don't normally drink regular coffee or iced coffee. I don't like it. I also don't have an espresso machine or caramel sauce, so my options at home are limited. I used my mom's Keurig coffee machine and made a cup of french vanilla, added sugar, then put it in the fridge before I went to the dentist. I got it out now, poured it over ice, and added ( Read more... )

Or not working at all. I'm trying to abide by my icon, here ( Read more... )

Well, I don't really love oil changes. But they're unavoidable, aren't they? Unless you're fortunate to live someplace where you don't need a car. (One day. One day.) So, I got to sit in a waiting room for 1 hour and 45 minutes while my oil was changed and my tires rotated. Afterwards it was right to Starbucks, but my mind was sort of melted from ( Read more... )
