Like tears in the rain....
Those who know me know that I used to work on a tv show for a certain music television network that is known for not playing much music at all (and the network wasn't Much Music). Anyway, right before 9/11 we were on a hiatus and right after 9/11 that hiatus turned into..well, six months of unemployment checks.
While working on the show was fun (half of my job involved wasting time and the other half involved finding something to waste time on), it wasn't fulfilling. And despite what you kids out there may think, that feeling of "accomplishing" something is important. Those six months of unemployment where I prayed for a job (I also sent out thousands of resumes), were some sad and fattening times. Have you ever spent an entire unemployment check on comic books and Mcdonalds? I have. Anyway, I'm a teacher now and it's all full of fullfillment and well.....this isn't the direction this entry was supposed to be going.
Long story short, I have few things that actually link me to working at the station. My old ID card, a basketful of preanimation drawings, and a copy of the last movie we worked on (and trust me, I busted my ass on it). The thing is I still have my old ID card, I've still got the bucketful of paper, but the movie?
Yesterday my brother confessed to taping over it with lesbian porno. Take THAT, Rutger Hauer.
