FUNemployment

[zenithberwyn]

I've been unemployed for a bit. Supposedly I'm going back mid-September, but, uh, something happened that I am contractually bound not to comment on. Just pay attention to the goddamn celebrity news like a good American. Anyway, who knows how things will shake out now

Aw, if you can't vent about how overwhelming and shitty life is on Livejournal where CAN you vent?

But hey, I'll be an official LA resident as of September 7th and I'll help you make that pilot all day long.

NOW we're talking.

What skills and/or equipment do you bring to the table?

[absente]

ha, well, i'd have to put both "skills" and "equipment" in quotations in order to be fair to both terms.

i can write, direct, set up lighting stuff, run booms (y'know, like any monkey) and that's about it. i do have a shiny new mac with final cut installed but i'm pretty clueless about how to put it to good use. (i'd appreciate lessons if you're offering, heh.)

basically i'm just a willing and eager participant. extra hands and a smiling face. but i learn fast and i crack dirty jokes with the best of 'em, so there's that.

i'm also going to be hanging around with the Current TV peeps for the semester, so i'm sure i'll find myself surrounded by other eager young media-makers.

My uncle told me his hay fever stopped bothering him when he moved to SoCal. Maybe ragweed is banned only in Ventura County?

I'm irritated with Facebook for killing LiveJournal. I'd much rather read one multiparagraph update per person per day than multiple single-sentence updates per person per day. I'm not saying I mind Facebook, it's just that if people only have enough time for one or the other, I wish LJ would come out on top.

[faeryhead]

I agree. About LJ. I don't know enough about Venture County ragweed to offer an opinion.

[clockworkmonkey]

I triple agree. Even though I'm part of the problem.

[fierceflawless]

interestingly, I think that twitter has played a much bigger role in the death of LJ than facebook ever did.

but yeah. sad.

we're still here!

at least i am, anyway.

don't be so hard on yourself. you're always going to feel like shit when you compare yourself to other people.

you want to feel better? go on facebook and talk to some of your old college friends. then you'll realize how cool your life is. the highlight of their day is getting a fourth car to drive to linens-n-things.

get a second opinion on your gums. my mom's dentist told her she needed grafts stat and the next one she saw said that guy was full of shit and just wanted her money.

i have that problem and i'm using my nightguard. i'm not good about wearing it all the time but i think it's especially helpful when you've been drinking. i grind more when i'm wasted. (wow, that founds dirty).

I also have a ton of unemployed and underemployed friends I could compare myself to. But I choose not to, because they're all younger.

I'm getting my first opinion next Thursday from a periodontist that gets really good reviews online. My "probably" is coming from me looking at before and after pictures of gum grafting online, and thinking, "ew, a couple of my teeth look WAY worse than those." My question is not "if" but "how many." But we'll see.

Hey I'm unemployed! Let's hang!

[zenithberwyn]
