These are the tales of a woman in NYC, trying to find a great job in a field that she loves. For the time being, however, she spends much of her downtime writing this blog, sending out her resume, and watching primetime soaps, reality television, and other crap...

That's the end of that...
Well I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week. I have mixed feelings about this. While it did seem like a nice place to work, and the money was good, in the end I think it was kind of good that I didn't get it. I would have most likely ended up being miserable there. It wasn't part of my media backup plan so I can only hope that something else will work out for me. I'm going to do that play then. It is a little beneath me, but I could use the practice, the exposure, and another credit on my resume. It's all good. It's gonna be a lot of money to travel there but hopefully it will be worth it. I just hope none of the people I went to school with are in it. God, I hated the hoity toity people in my theater department. I'm pretty sure they believed their shit didn't stink. However, I will just have to deal with it if they are in the play. I also contacted my old temp agency in that city so I could get some temp work while I'm there so maybe I'll be able to do that. Get some moolah in my pocket. In other news, someone did reach out to me at an ad agency--and I think that's great. The woman I spoke to over the phone was a little uninspired, but I wouldn't be working with her anyway. I would be supporting a team, and that's a little intimidating, but I think I could do it. They said there would be absolutely no opportunity for growth, but I think it would be cool to get my foot in the door someplace like that. So there are a lot of opportunities in my future nothing solid but I do feel positive today. That's it peeps. Seacrest out.

One Fine Day
Happy Thanksgiving People! Well, it's Thanksgiving in America anyway. Today, I gave thanks for a great yesterday. Yesterday I had a really great interview at a finance firm. Which finance firm may you ask? Ha! Like I would ever tell and risk losing the chance at the job. It's a reception/administrative assistant position and the money is great. Nope it's not in the media or publishing nor is it an acting job; but it's a job nonetheless. Maybe if I get it I could really get my life together. Get a car, an apartment, and finally get my health together. This could be good. So I am definitely excited. The people there look cool as well. They're younger and slightly more relaxed then the company I left. Definitely not "fashion show, fashion show at lunch!" type of people which makes me feel a little more at ease. The only thing that makes this bitter sweet is that if I get this job, once again I am putting my media and acting dreams on hold. But I could really use the money to at least get an apartment and a few things done. I suppose it's just never going to happen but I still have to dream and work on it in any way possible even if it's in a limited way, right? I wouldn't be able to do that play I had mentioned, earlier, either if it's an immediate start. Oh well, no one gets everything they want, but I guess I can hope. I just want to live to my potential one day. That's all I want. Is it too much to ask for? Oh well. But thank God at least I had a a good interview.
