Trader Sam's Newest "Victim"
 
Boy, things sure do move fast in Hollywood.

While I was in that weird, sad, awful grey area when I was applying for every job under the sun in Hollywood and otherwise (Borders in Yorba Linda... wtf was that?!), I happened to apply at an old job of mine at a post-production house. They had heard what I was doing at my current job and wanted me to reprise my old position with them.

They called me in for an interview on Thursday. So I went. It went well.

They called me this morning and offered me a position at their company. It's more money than my current job and this job has benefits. So I'm taking it. I start tomorrow.

In two weeks, I will have a new full-time job as a Post-Production Supervisor. I'm excited. The weird thing is that I will be training for the new job in the mornings and working my current job at night for 2 weeks. I'm going to be fried but it'll all be worth it soon.

There's weirdness though, going back to an old job. Same faces, same routine as before... but I'm optimistic.

I'm too busy to be nervous but I'm happy.

I'm not burning any bridges at my current job and they are happy for me. I've never been head-hunted before. It feels good.
:)

I'll try. :)



Sometimes I frustrate myself. I can't seem to get happy about this. I'm already on to the next worry. What will the job be like? What if they fire me after two weeks? What if? What if? What if?

Grrr. Why can't I just be happy?
:rolleyes:

Oh. P.S. The Batmobile (60's version), the General Lee and the Starsky and Hutch car are all parked together here on the lot. It's hysterical. I took a picture with my phone.
:D

Never rains, but it pours.


As for not allowing yourself to be happy .... yeah WTF with that? Knock it off. You are being pursued by Hollywood, and gay cowboy has dreamt about you 5 out of 7 nights since last week.
