Ready, WIlling and Able

My bedroom, is cleaned rearranged and ready to accept visitors. Get your mind out of the gutter. Everyone, well, almost everyone, is coming this week for Aunt Mary's memorial and we are the hostel. We have been over sleeping arrangements in various family emails and I think the decision lies (lays?) in that mom will sleep in whichever bed or chair proves the most comfortable for her back. Melody (preggo) will sleep in a bed of her choosing with a mate that doesn't mind flopping about and somewhere close to a bathroom. The rest of us will sleep where we fall. And Link (the dog) will sleep as far away from mom as possible.

As for the rest of the house, weeelllll...........While my family has been known to be judgemental at times, the clutter of a home was never one of the judging points. Love me, love my dog, love our clutter.

Job Search

I am anticipating being in the world of unemployment within the next few weeks and have started actively job hunting. Of course the activity is mainly online, monster.com, Yahoo jobs, and various studio web sites. I would like to get into the entertainment industry ideally, and preferably one close to home. Disney just built a huge new office building at the end of our street and is now announcing a huge layoff. Go figure. The Dreamworks studio on our street was recently sold to Paramount with the understanding that no Dreamworks employees be laid off. So I doubt they would be hiring. We also have Nickelodeon (which is owned by MTV) and Cartoon Network close but not in walking distance. Our ABC affiliate is close by but only has openings at this time for Production Assistant, somehow I don't think being a gopher will support my family. So the search continues. If you hear of anything, stick my name in somewhere.
