Though I haven't even cracked the small screen, I am now receiving a paycheck as a California resident. This entire time, I haven't really felt like I permanently lived here, because I have never had a job here. I appreciate the fact that I didn't have to look for a job outside of my field, it just materialized.
Christmas is coming, and I decided I wanted to make some extra money. I took as many scripts as I could handle from the screenwriting competition and randomly found myself a job. Being unemployed, I feel like a great use of my time is to visit the gym, at least every weekday. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a sign at my gym that they were hiring at the front desk.
I got the job almost immediately. I haven't mentioned it until this point, because I wasn't sure if I could keep it. I will be leaving for Chicago for almost three weeks, and in my experience, jobs like this do not allow you to stay onboard after leaving for an extending period of time. Yesterday, I found out that my job will stay be waiting for me when I get back.
The gym's location is close to the wife's place of employment, are during the same hours when she is working, and are flexible enough for me to take on a new internship or have meetings around it. Though it doesn't pay much, it's nice to have a paycheck and have something to keep me busy.
In other news, I have encountered a new challenge in my quest to break through the small screen. It's nothing I can't handle, but it certainly affects my perspective. Stay tuned to learn about this new hurdle...
