Part of the routine

So, it's struck me - I'm officially living in LA.

Weird...

The job is going well, if not super easy. Im just a little confused as why I am a paid intern and not a "normal" worker. I basically run one website by myself and do as much, if not more work than the other employees. Oh well, it is what it is. It'll be "official" once I get my first paycheck - whether it be from the commercial shoot or the full time job.

I have two interviews coming up again, one to work at a camera prep house, which would be physical labor, but hopefully awesome. I'd get to rig cameras for shoots, take them apart, put them together, ship them out, etc. The great part would be that I would learn all the equipment - which would help me immensely to get into a camera unit and slowly climb the ladder to the cinematography world. I don't expect it to be a glamorous job, or to see celebrities, or even work in a cool environment, but it would be hands on, beneficial experience.

My other interview would be an executive assistant to a producer. The only thing is they are Russian and seem to be very Russian. On the application they preferred a Russian speaker, which, I am not, but they still contacted me for an interview. I don't know of any films they have done, but it seems the company was big in the 1970 with putting out Russian films - maybe they are gearing up to cross over into America. Who the heck knows. It would be a job, to a producer, and most likely better than minimum wage (thank god).

What else is new...hm....

Saw the Social Network. Go see it. It was amazing. David Fincher continues to blow my mind and spurred a love of tilt-shift photography in me. If you don't know what that is or what it looks like, go google it for your own good.

I've applied to a TON of receptionist/office manager positions but haven't heard back from any yet - which is upsetting. It'd be a great entry position and I would be able to move up in the company. I hope I hear back from someone. I think I'd be good. I'm friendly and sociable, what else could someone want in their receptionist?

Sorry for the sporadic posting(s) - its been hectic and when I get home from work, I'm always unmotivated and super tired to log on a post (I work 7-4 give me a break). I know I always says it, but I'll try and get better at posting more often.

Peace out!
