Finally, a 40 hour week! I worked way too much last week but at least my next paycheck is going to rock my world.

I think LA is growing on me. I don’t plan on being here forever, however I hope I can make my stay as pleasant as possible. Finding jobs in the business is still a very slow process and requires a lot of waiting and calling. But, I do have some feelers out there working for me. It’s interesting, though, how much control I am given over my career. I feel like I’m working myself much harder than I ever have in trying to make work happen. Even for that, still, my job prospects just aren’t there. It’s not that I lack talent either, it’s just that I haven’t met the right person or people.

This holiday season is mostly going to be spent in Texas and Colorado. I’m looking forward to both and can’t wait for Thanksgiving to arrive. The negative factor in this is that I’ll only be home for less than 2 weeks in December! That’s definitely not good for jobs and finding work. However, I know that next year is going to start completely different for me. I will pretty much have nothing but time assuming I haven’t found any jobs this year.

So, even though I struggle in a few areas while I live here, I feel that my time to be here in LA is not done yet. I do want to find time to travel and see the state since I’m here (anyone, anyone?), but I do need to make sure that I’m seriously working on helping out my future. I hate having to work so hard at and being so serious about finding work because I love relaxing. However, I know that this isn’t done in vain and things will eventually turn around. The economy is on the upwards, jobs are being created, and people are getting hired.
