a new beginning!

hello everyone!

sorry that i've been a little bad about updating this lately! i have some good news but not too much time to write because i have to make dinner here in a wee bit!

anywho, so you all know how i got shafted and the job that i was offered was given to someone else who had been with the company for a year.. well temporarily at least. so i got an e-mail last monday from the lady in charge, tamra, and she said that she wanted to meet with me on friday. i was excited, but cautious, so i didn't want to write anything! i got called into work on thursday because someone was sick and tamra told me that she wanted to meet with me on thursday instead.. so i was like okay! anywho, at the meeting she told me that she and the chick were switching back and i was getting the testimonial assistant job!! (the job that i had been going in for interviews since may.) just as a contract though, so as of right now, for the next three months i am working full time at Lieberman Productions as a Testimonial Assistant! whoo hooo! i started last friday and so far i am really enjoying it. for the most part it's just data entry and being organized.. but it's nice to do something that actually matters! it's also extremely nice to be working full time again! it's been a loooooong time!! :) i work with five other girls and they are all so nice... i'm so happy to be working with girls! i'm hoping that we can all become friends! :) it's also in san francisco so it's fun to work in the city.. even though this place isn't in the best part of town.. i get a nice 10 minute walk to/from the BART station every day so that's nice. another nice part is not hating it... i was worried there for a while... things are looking up!

this weekend was super busy! i helped tory and scott out on a shoot. it went pretty good! we only got kicked out of one location, so that was good and we were pretty much done there anywho. the shoot was for an indian music video. we were working pretty much 7-5ish everyday... so we didn't get much of a weekend. this weekend i'm not going to get too much down time either, but i'm excited anywho! i have a bunch of cleaning and grocery shopping to do to get ready for thanksgiving! i can't wait! so far tory's parents are coming and maybe steve and phil and maybe kurt (tory's friends). kurt is from LA and he came up last year so it would be fun if he started to come up every year for thanksgiving! i love thanksgiving! i'm so excited!!!!

i can't believe we're already half way thru november... that's so crazy! i'll try to update this as much as i can! i guess the only bad thing about this new job is that i can't watch tv on-line all day and update this blog every other day.. hahaha... :) ahhh it's nice to not be bored out of my mind!!

love and miss you all,
jenn

p.s. aunt janice! i hope you have an awesome thanksgiving and have a bunch of fun with my dad! pull UNC through and squash State! wish we were coming to NC for thanksgiving! i miss doing that!! :) love you!!

why helllllloooo!!!




hey everyone!

sorry for the delay. things have been a little hectic ever since i got back from home!

home was good! it was nice to spend time with my dad and sisters! it was also nice to spend some time with some friends! it was a good trip all in all!! it went by really fast!! but it was nice to come back home to cali.. i think tory hadn't been eating all week! haha, j/k.. but it was good to visit, but also nice to be back :)

i got a very weird phone call when i was home from the proactiv company which was very upsetting. they told me that someone was upset that they hadn't been talked to about the position that i was offered, so now that person has the job that i interviewed for, have been talking to them about since may... and i have her job. her job is pretty boring and requires a high school diploma, so i feel like i'm using my brain... it's very upsetting after everything that this happened. i don't know what i'm going to do. i barely work two days a week.. this week it's mon and thurs and next week i only work fri... so annoying. what i'm doing is stocking stuff and making coffee... it is extremely boring. i don't know what i'm going to do. they are 'testing' out this person in that position for three weeks (i'm doing her job for three weeks) and from there they will decide (i'm guessing) if they want to keep her in that position and want me to try it out or what. i don't know what i'm going to do if they want me to keep doing this other position. it is extremely boring and i feel like i deserve so much more than this. i didn't go to college for four years to stock crap and make coffee. i mean i'm finally working for a production company, but i should have the job that i interviewed for... i don't know what i'm going to do. it's a very messed up situation to say the least. it's only been three working days so far... but i mean when i was at sodexo i at least liked it for the first few months, this job i'm just bored every time i walk into work... hmph...

this past weekend was fun! on friday tory and i went to dinner and a movie. we saw jackass 3d... tory liked it! i thought it was pretty funny... sometimes a little too gross.. but it was good! saturday we hung out with phil and steve in the city and watched the giants game. i can't believe they won the world series!! we ended up going to the city for a couple of hours last night because scott and tory wanted to check out this open mic. holy crapola... the city was INSANE! i have never been around something so crazy! people and cars were just parked in intersections... nothing was moving, fireworks going off! it was crazy! and this was like three hours after the giants won it! i can only imagine what the city looks like today!!

i think i have a gig tomorrow being a production coordinator for a shoot! i don't know yet for sure, but if i do get it i will update about it!

i'm making a crock pot roast for dinner tonight! should be good! finally went grocery shopping today! felt good to pick some stuff up!! i also voted today! that was exciting! my first time voting in california!! i didn't have to wait in line either!! whoo hoo!! the ballot here was ridiculous.. i had no idea that there was going to be so many props and other stuff to vote on! i left most of them blank because i was afraid that i would vote the wrong way. next time i'll have to pay more attention!

well... i will update sooner next time i promise!! check out the pictures below!! hope you guys have an awesome week!!

love and miss you all,
jenn
