Employment

I'm really starting to hate that work. "Employment" It seems like everything in this world revolves around money, and how do you get that money? By being employed. Which I am not really at the moment. I have a weekend job of doing photography work but that only pays the bills, not the rent. I'm living in LA, the entertainment capital of the world and yet I still cant land a gig. Now dont get confused, I'm not an actress or singer. I work on behind the cameras. Mainly in set dressing but at this point I'm willing to be the water bitch for the director as long as I can land a freaking gig!
I moved out to LA a year ago for 2 things: To be with my boyfriend and to make a career in production design. Well I got one thing down, we have been living together for over a year and are still madly in love. Awwww
The other part is still in the works. I haven't given up hope for my dream even with doors shutting on me left and right. I still have hope that things will turn around. They always seem to do for me.

For example, I land the most random jobs. Seriously, completely random. Right now I'm getting paid to sit in an audience and clap for the Newlywed game. I've gotten paid for watching a movie. I've worked for the Super Bowl. I've worked as a photographer taking school portraits. I've been a green blogger. I even worked as a receptionist for a sign shop (which lasted about 2 weeks). I've done all sorts of interesting jobs in my life so far and I'm only 25! My boyfriend on the other hand, has a stable job, which I am eternally grateful for because at least when our cats are starving for their food, he can at least afford to pick them up some!

I suppose someday I would like some normalcy in my life when it comes to a career but right now I'm taking it as it comes and seeing where this all leads to.
