I feel like every January I find myself in the same situation--kind of unemployed but kind of not. I am somehow pulling it together enough to pay the rent etc. but I can't really figure out where the money is coming from. It's not like I have a full time job but I am working and busy all of the time. At the same time, I manage to take time off when I need it and I sleep in almost every day. I don't really want to have that taken away so I am afraid of changing anything. However, I want to go to Lake Powell this summer and with the way things are right now, I won't have much extra to do that AND travel to/live in Australia next January. Oh yes, by the way, that is the plan so long as it isn't hindered by a marriage proposal. I looked on Craig's list for a job--I've been on there many times just sorta checking it out to see what kind of options I have. Every time I have been on there, I have seen numerous posts from people in desperate need for a hairstylist or a makeup artist for a photoshoot or a movie. Today, there was not one single post which was quite saddening when I'm finally in a position to apply. I've decided it's all because of the writer's strike. All of the hairstylist that should be working on tv shows, can't because of those greedy little whores. So they are out doing the jobs that people like me would do. SO not only have the writers taken away good television and left me crap reality shows(except for project runway), but they have slimmed down the job market. You know what? I think it's their fault we are in a recession! I would strike back against them once the shows are up and running again and refuse to watch, but knowing that I was missing out on Jack saving the world again, or Michael driving in to lake, or Meredith and McDreamy breaking up again, would be too much to bare. I guess I will just have to stay in this perpetual state of semi employed for a little while longer.
