Hello

What's next?
Well, I quit my job. I have made pizza for just over a year and it is time for a change. However, I do not have a new job yet. I have applied to probably 80 jobs in 2 days. I have had a few interviews so far, but no job offers.
Meanwhile, I have been learning how to screen print t-shirts. Soon I will be selling t-shirts on my Etsy page, ThisLittlePiggyCo . I know I have enough t-shirts without making my own, but I had to test it somehow.

New Year's resolutions
First on a side note:
Good news! My fingers are cold!
At work I am constantly working with chilled and frozen food, also it is winter, therefore my fingers get very cold. Before the holidays my fingertips no longer felt cold, they would just start hurting and I knew it was time to stop and warm up. I was seriously worried about nerve damage, but after the break I now feel cold again. No permanent damage.
Back on topic:
This year instead of making our own resolutions half-heartedly just to say we made one, my family made resolutions for each other. This made everyone really think about what would be a challenge or benefit for another person. I now have 3 resolutions this way. One of my resolutions was to be productive about the books I read and movies I watch by starting a review blog. Right now it only has one entry but you can find it here.
Thanks for reading! : )

My Summer
I realized I have terrible titles for posts. Oh well.
I am still making pizza. I did get another film job, not paid but it should actually go somewhere beyond online festivals. The script won money to be produced and there is a name attatched. A famous in Canada, not Hollywood, name but that's cool. I joined the team as a set decorator so this will count as experience toward union work. Unfortunately I only joined a week before the shoot so I was unprepared on the day. Everything worked and now I know some more questions I need to ask before the shoot day.
Other than this awesome weekend filming I have been doing a lot of reading because my room is so hot my laptop repeatedly overheats. I havn't done much more for my Etsy shop because of that.
The library now has instruments to borrow. My goal for the summer was to learn a new instrument. I finally got a ukelele this week and after and hour realized I need something between ukelele and a guitar so my fingers actually fit the frets properly.
Summer is nearly over and my holidays was 3 days off from pizza in a row so I could help my parents move into their new house. Christmas things are in Micheals and everywhere else has Halloween stuff out. School hasn't started yet and I can no longer buy freezies from dollar stores :(
Adult summers suck

News
I am now making pizza as I try to get film jobs.
I had my first paid film job! I was a PA/ "B" Camera Operator for a series of interviews. The company was from the US so I got paid in American money. With the low dollar right now it was like getting paid extra!
I started an Etsy store. ThisLittlePigCo. I like doing stuff in Illustrator so right now it is just colouring pages. No sales yet so feel free to browse!
I seem to be using a lot of exclamation points in this post. I guess I am just excited.

Hello
The new year is under way and I am still jobless, never mind a career. School was supposed to help get a job but it doesn't seem to be working. I have been out of school for a year and a half and have no job.
Over the holidays I decided that since nobody seems to want me to work for them I would have to find a way to work for myself. I still have not found the niche in which I could do this but it is something simmering in my mind as I continue to ask people to hire me. I have gotten to the interview stage a few times but mostly I am waiting for people to acknowledge my application.
As I wait I have been reading a lot and watching movies and TV shows. I am in the middle of "His Dark Materials" the Golden Compass series. I am keeping up with the new episodes of the super hero TV shows. "MARVEL's Agent Carter" is my favourite right now.
