Let’s see…
The WGA is on strike right now, thus shutting down most of Hollywood.
The Broadway Stagehands Union (Local One) is on strike right now, thus shutting down Broadway.
I would just like to point out that I am NOT on strike and showing up to work everyday.
Unfortunately, it’s not working out so well.
I don’t want to get into specifics, because I’d prefer to keep my professional life out of this blog, and I’m sure the company I work for would prefer the same thing. So, just to skim the surface, I work for a company that is Broadway related. And since Broadway has been dark, work has too.
The past two days I’ve spent a majority of my day fiddling about in Excel making lists and charts just to keep myself busy. I’m starting to get really concerned that if this strike doesn’t end soon, then I could very well be out of a job. At least for a period of time. And after taking two weeks off from work and right before the holiday season, that’s not something that settles my nerves.
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to Local One and the League of American Theatres and Producers to stop their pissing contest and stop being so pig-headed and come up with some sort of compromise and get the hell back to work.
Please and thank you.

In unrelated news, I was checking out my site statistics just to see what goodies I could find in there, and it turns out some of you people are stumbling across this blog via some very interesting Google searches. I’m not exactly sure how these searches lead you here, but, well, they did.
The two best ones that were recently Googled were:
- Crowded Subway Boner Butt
- Roommate Boner Hidden Camera
Whomever you are, I’d like to be your friend.
You obviously didn’t find what you were looking for in my blog, but if you did eventually find what you wanted….could you send me those links?
Please and thank you.
Wow! I finally found it. I was looking for what you did for a living after I read you worked 55 hours/week.
It is the yuckiest thing in the world to just go to work just to go. I did that for over half of the 1yr 6mo at the my last employment gig and exclusively for the last 3 months of it!
Then went to the opposite coast and had a reaction to traffic and the way the drivers drive. I liked visiting on vacations, but I found that it is another thing entirely to live there.
My second job has been searching for the job I want to do for the last 3 years…
I’m frustrated by how some people can, as if by magic, change jobs (get a job) and improve their job happiness factor and financial position.
I’ve improved my financial but my job happiness factor has dropped each time. The job happiness is just as important, if not more so than the financial position. I’m getting some diverse experience, though. So, maybe not all bad.
But, my burning question is: “Do you still work 55 hours/week?”
