| | I signed into Xanga today and a banner on every page reads, Welcome back! And I guess it's appropriate cause it has been awhile since I've last visited. My, how the design layout's changed, but what's up with the annoying ads every time I go back to my homepage? So, what's new? After not working for a month (mostly not by choice), I got a job through the temp agency: receptionist. Which I have a small amount of experience with, however I don't think I'll be getting any #1 receptionist awards any time soon. So it's good it's only temporary and I'm not trying to make a career out of it, cause I'm not that good. Looks like the WGA strike might be over, so I read. Hopefully that'll bring more industry related jobs my way. I feel very boring right now, as I have no exciting news to talk about. Hmmm, let's see. I learned how to make green and red enchiladas last night, in addition to spanish rice. That was fun. I've been feeling both anxious and confused of late. Confused about a number of things: my career, God, my place in God's will. Funny that the sermon on Sabbath was about the wilderness taken from the passage where Jesus is tempted in the desert. Funny that when it started I thought I wouldn't have anything to learn because of the numerous sermons I've heard on "the wilderness" but Pastor Ryan's message was very fresh and insightful. I prayed with him and afterwards he told me that he's been getting a lot of calls lately requesting prayer and thought the passage (picked months in advance) was very apropos for this week. At least I know I'm not alone. I've been feeling anxious I suppose about the same things: my career, God's will. Also, although I suppose antsy is a better word, about a new stage of life. You probably know well that last year, '06, I moved five times. All in LA, but each time a new area and, for the most part, new roommates. In March I will have lived in the same place for a year. Maybe it's my sense of adventure, but I'm ready for something new. On one hand I hate change, but on the other I crave it. The entertainment industry is like that, nothing is certain. And while I hate not having a steady job, I like that every month or two there are new faces, new challenges, new environment, new responsibilities and it's all in the realm of what I have a passion for (now if I can just start getting those jobs again...). Anyway, maybe because that's how my career path plays out or maybe because I'm not in the that particular work environment at the moment, I want a change in my personal life. So I'm antsy, bored, looking for something new. And yes, anxious, always anxious about what that change will be. |
