Hottness Updates



First of all.. I need to agree with Justin that Puck from Glee is really hot. He sang Sweet Caroline, which thanks to the Red Sux I know hate with a passion, and he looked fucking adorable while singing the song. He is simply sex on a stick.

I also realized that I, like many of my girl friends, love assholes. Lately I have been falling for guys that are complete assholes. I can't really say that I am falling for these assholes because I haven't really been in that situation.

Which brings me to my updates:

- I had a fraternity brother come out to me a few weeks ago. Since I am the President of the alumni association I have been around the guys a lot this semester. We have been planning a "Celebration of Life" for a brother who died last year.

The brother started through an IM conversation and we met up that night to talk in person because he has been dealing with a lot of demons inside of him. For the most part he has been doing very well. I brought him to his first gay bar that is 18+ and he has told 2 others. When he does it's like he needs to tell me immediately.

- I had a second interview in New York. It did not go as I thought it would. I got to the interview and was told it was for an entirely different position that what I had been initially told. I was brought back to a conference room with two ratty chairs, a small desk and a bunch of boxes.

I was told to fill out an application and that I would be meeting with the Producer, "M" and head of Human Resources "C"

Well, the assistant that led me back to this windowless room started grilling me with questions. I answered all of them to a T! I did great. She was smiling, sort of flirting. She told me to finish tha application and that we would head up to see M.

I get up to see M and we had a great conversation. I understand how precious time can be when you work in TV. About halfway through she tuned me out. Checked e-mail. Took a phone call... apologized every time and I made sure to dazzle her when I had her attention.

After we were done, she thanked me and said to have a good day. I was under the impression that I still had to meet with C. I had my application in my hands. It was so frustrating.

M brought me to the elevators and I navigated my way back down to HR where after 5 minutes I was told that I was done for the day. I left my application, references and my card and left. I sent my thank you notes and e-mails and am waiting to hear from them.

That was a debbie downer.

- A possible work lead; I have some downtime at work. I use that time to look for stories and video for all of our shows to use. (If you haven't figured out where I work by now you obviously don't know how to Google.)

Well, I have been helping this one group out a lot lately. They have been really great to me and I am interested in them because it has to do with working on the internet. I met with the producer and we will see how everything goes.

I'll give a lack of love life update tomorrow and get some stuff of my chest. For now... goodnight!

Strange

I went to bed last night knowing that I was going to have funky dreams. My allergies had got the best of me and I needed to use some Nyquill to fall asleep fast. When I have used this wonder drug I have always had really strange and realistic dreams. I am not calling myself a prophet but something strange happened.

I was at my parents house and I was helping my parents get ready for something. It wasn't a party... I was getting supplies and such ready. The house begins to shake and we run for the basement. Next thing I know the house is being torn off the foundation and I can see a terrible storm devouring everything in it's path.

I woke up and thought that it was a strange dream. I had watched 2 episodes of The Office before I went to bed so it wasn't that.

I opened our sliding door to go outside and it was incredibly windy out.

Found it strange that fierce winds were in my dream and woke up to them.

Carry on. Nothing else to see here!

Movement

For the first time in a long time there is some movement in my life! Not as in working out or running but career wise.

Since moving back to the suburbs, I have had mixed emotions. I've been out of NY for 2 years. It's crazy to me that 2 years ago I was debating a move to California (where I would have been laid off) and a job here in CT.

Truth be told, I have hated living in CT. Sure I have had some good times with friends... but for the most part I miss the vibe of New York City.

A few weeks ago, I helped out a buddy of mine who works at a cable network in NYC. We have known each other since we were seven years old. He needed something from us so I hooked him up and did such a good job that he asked me to send him my resume.

Well, 2 weeks ago his boss sent me an e-mail about coming in and talking about possible job opportunities.

That interview was this past Friday. I am pretty confident in how the interview went because it was two hours and the Executive Producer told me that I "...would be a perfect fit."

What helped was that my buddy G is highly respected by her and at the Network.

I had lunch with my buddy G after the interview and he was impressed that it was about 2 hours long. "She never meets with anyone for more than 20 minutes when it comes to feeling someone out for a position."

I shot her a thank you card and a thank you e-mail. Apparently something is in the works and I should be hearing from Human Resources soon.

I am pretty excited about it only because this means that I will be back in NYC and REALLY involved in the creative process for this show. It's long hours and lot's of different jobs to be doing at once but I think that I am up for the challenge.

We'll see what happens.
