Three dropped calls and you are fired!

While my last post should have been long enough to satisfy you all for a least a week, I know you are all salivating to hear about my first few days at my new job. The short answer: so far, so good.

The long answer: I think this company is a good place for me to start if I want to be a writer someday. Many contacts, much information, etc. With that said, it has been very overwhelming so far, hence my writing here instead of working on my booking "homework." I thought I was going to be done with homework after college. I was wrong. I figured I deserved a little time to decompress and fiddle around for a bit.

So far, I have not been placed on a desk, so I retain my status as a "floater," which, frankly, reminds me of something that should be residing in a toilet or public pool, but I am in no position to petition for a title change. I interviewed with an agent on my first day, so hopefully I will hear soon if he wants me on his desk. I do think that he would be a pretty perfect agent to assist for in terms of becoming a writer. As far as temperment, he seems a little-- what's the word I'm looking for? Oh that's right-- psychotic. Maybe that's a little harsh. Super intense. I think I could get used to it, though. He reps TV writers, and new ones at that, and he is a new agent, so we would all be starting together, pretty much. It would be a good experience, albeit mildly (read: EXTREMELY) stressful at first. I will update as I know things.

Anyway, I can't wait to get off work because: a) (and most importantly) Natalie is moving in today! I haven't seen her in more than a month (the longest we have gone without seeing each other since we met). Say it with me now: AWWW!!!

And b) I am going home tomorrow and see some familiar faces. I know it has only been a few days since I left beautiful Bakersfield, but I am jonesin' for a place where I don't feel like the new kid at school. I would venture to say that in Bako, not only do I not feel like the new kid at school, I feel like one of the popular kids. :) I don't know what that means...

Okay, perhaps I should get back to work. Maybe earn some of my vast, vast salary. Ha.

P.S. The title of this post refers to the scariest thing I heard today. Please, God, do not let me be put on that agent's desk. That is not an agency standard.
