For the last two days, I have been attending career transition classes courtesy of my former employer. It’s actually been quite productive and it is interesting to see other people in the same boat but different circumstances. It further convinces me that if you take the people I know who were recently laid off, you could have a great core staff of a company. Other…
July 25, 2001Well I am sad to say that as of today, I am not going to be hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire at DCA anytime soon. Perhaps casting will reconsider (if you are reading this, please can I?). I made it through callbacks, but in the end, no one who tried out for it in SF made it. My reward? I got to appear…
July 23, 2001Well I am off to Northern California to follow a dream. I’ll let you all know how it turns out on Monday. Other good news is that I actually have something to do next week. Thanks to my former employer, I have three days of career counselling free of charge. Whee. I also should be getting my resume back soon. The redesign trend continues. Today,…
July 19, 2001Yesterday was the 46th anniversary of Disneyland. To celebrate, I headed to the resort to apply for a job and to meet my friend Scott. The day got off to a bad start because I found out that the parks were not hiring for attractions. So I headed over to the park to hang out with Scott. We had a great time catching up and…
July 18, 2001So its 3:45am. I can’t sleep. I kept asking myself why. Is it because I am a lazy bum and have been sleeping until almost noon everyday (thanks to my earplugs)? Is it I am worried that I won’t get a job? While those are probably not helping things, the real reason I can’t sleep is because today was the audition to host Who Wants…
July 17, 2001This weekend I went roller skating for the first time in Aeons. I think the last time I went any type of skating was Valentine’s Day 1991. It was a bizarre night that culminated in the car we were driving in coming to a halt on the Yolo Causeway. This was in the days before call boxes, and after sending people looking for a phone,…
July 16, 2001Spent a nice day yesterday driving up to Santa Barbara and visiting with Chaos. The weather was absolutely perfect. We spent time watching Atlantis and having dinner at an Italian restaurant on state street. (Susie did you ever put away the leftovers that were on the counter??) I have sent my resume to a professional. I was impressed with her work and hopefully she can…
July 13, 2001It is tough to have a lifestyle of sleeping in and job hunting in the afternoon when there is a major construction project going on next door. I did manage to get some applications in and am going to consult with a professional resume writer so hopefully I can get some good leads. Now if I can just get them to start sawing wood on…
July 11, 2001I am working on a video catalog consolidation project. Some of you long-time clubbers might remember I used to have a video catalog of my movies on the site complete with reviews and ratings. The past two years or so, it is among the many things I have neglected. So in the past few days, I have been working on bringing my catalog back up…
July 10, 2001This weekend I saw Shrek. People kept egging me on to see it saying how much I would like it. And as with most movies that people say that I would like, I didn’t. I liked Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy’s vocals, but the story was ho-hum and the jokes tired. The press made a big hullabaloo about the Disney jabs, but to me they…
