Being Unemployed Kind of Sucks!

So, for the last 2 days I've been trying to find a new job. Dealing with the Massachusetts Dept. of Labor yesterday morning was ridiculously more difficult than it should be. In the meantime, I've started trying to learn how to make apps for the iPhone and finding that I'm absolutely loving it! Now, if I can only come up with some ideas.

I'm really hoping some kind of job opportunity comes through soon though. I really hate not working.

Damn it's hot today!

Today starts my first official day of being unemployed, after getting told to leave at 2:30pm yesterday by my (former) boss. They pretty much gave me the bums rush out of there. Talk about awkward! Maybe try to use a little courtesy next time huh?

So, this is one of the hottest days of the year and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. The plan was to go to the gym, then hit Starbucks for a few hours to soak up some A/C and send resumes out. The Lexington Starbucks was slammed with people trying to escape the heat and there was nowhere to sit, so off to Peet's in Lexington I went. As much as I love (and prefer) Peet's, this one sucked! No A/C, 1 hour time limit on internet, and just rude people sitting around me. Then the power goes out. I took that as a sign and got out of there.

I guess I'll try it all again tomorrow, but will definitely find someplace with A/C and some seating!

I Heart Weekends!

So, I'm doing my usual weekend thing by hanging at the Java Room in Chelmsford and working on either a movie idea, tv idea, updating my music blog, or my resume. Sometimes all 3 at once. This seems to be the only place I can ever get anything done.

Although I'm not too concerned about losing my job, and it was a major relief, the reality is starting to set in a bit. Guess I'm just going to take things as they come and go from there. Worst comes to worst, I'll start my long dreamed about web media company or a tv show for the web or maybe open a sandwich/surf shop down on Cocoa Beach.

Trying to figure it all out.

So, in less than a week, I will be one of Massachusetts's many unemployed people. I'm trying to figure out which direction to go. Do I stay here in Massachusetts? Do I follow my lifelong dream of moving to Seattle or Denver which I fell in love with last year? Or perhaps, I should move to Cocoa Beach and open a surf and sub shop on the beach. People get hungry while surfing...right? Yeah, that sounds like an awesome idea!

I'm also still on a high from being an extra in the new Seth MacFarlane movie Ted, which is being shot around Boston. Kicking around the idea of going to MassArt full time to pursue my first love of filmmaking.

Wow! This blog still lives!

It's been nearly 3 years since my last post to this blog. To be honest, I had forgotten all about it. Man, did I call the iPhone wrong back in 2007 huh? Keep in mind that at that time, there were no apps and the appstore wasn't even on Apple's radar.

Things have definitely changed a lot since the last posting.

It looks like I'm being let go from the job mentioned in other posts here. It will have been almost 5 years to the day. Now, the job hunt is back on. We'll see how this goes.
