This sucks.

So, I'm officially out of a job tomorrow.  (Unless, something happens to extend us, which we'll know later today).

This strike sucks.  Yes, it's needed and important and I understand WHY they're striking, but it still sucks.  You know what else sucks?  Crossing the picket line every morning coming into work.  Makes me feel like a jackass but hey, what can I do.

The job market in LA will self implode in a few weeks I assume.  People that would never do a certain job because a) it wasn't an interest of theirs or b) it was "below" them will be applying to them now.  My partner and I posted that we needed an assistant a few weeks ago, and even though we aren't hiring right now, the resumes KEEP pouring in.  And from people that are WAY overqualified for the gig, or have NEVER done anything in this arena.  I can only imagine that this is the way it is everywhere.

C and I are both feeling the effects.  As of right now, he'll be off November 30th.  Isn't this all just fantastic timing?  Right before the holidays.  No presents this year.  Hell, maybe no plane trips either.  Shit.

Last night over a glass of wine (yay! I finally had one!), C and I wee trying to think of some good ideas for another project which does not include writers.  I, personally think it's a great idea so I'll keep you guys posted.

C leaves tomorrow night for a weekend in Lake Arrowhead and I'm surprisingly okay with it.  Not that I wont miss him, but I'm excited for a girly weekend. 

This morning I went to the gym for the first time in over a week and wow - did I feel the burn.  To be honest, I go to the gym so often that I liked being sick and having a real excuse for not going.  It gave my body a break and allowed me to sleep in.  Sometimes, we all need a break, right?  And it's cold out anyway, so really?  Who needs to be skinny?  I actually should be fattening up for all of those months of living off Top Ramen.

Sorry to hear about all that's going on with the strike. Hope you move on to better things, though.

Man... I can't even imagine how frustrated it must feel to have everything so out of your hands. The domino effect this thing is having is unbelievable. I wish you all the best and am sending out good negotiation vibes!

I am so sorry that the strike is hitting so close to home - I really hope they resolve everything soon and you can get back to feeling some job security and not living off ramen noodles...
