A few things have changed since my last entry. To start, I have accepted a position at Lamar, where I have been temping since arriving in L.A. The unfortunate thing is that my temp agency will not release me until I fulfill the number of hours that have been contracted between Lamar and them. Lamar has been awesome and tried really hard to get me out of the contract, but to no avail. At the end of September, I will be starting as the Leasing Assistant. As a good will gesture, they gave me my company cell phone early, a pretty sweet Blackberry Pearl. I'll be keeping my Minneapolis number for a while yet too, but won't carry that phone much anymore. So if you want the new number, please email me. This position should be good for me and teach me a lot. I actually won't be an admin assistant, which is weird since my career has consisted of that. I'm looking forward to learning the position and growing at Lamar. That being said, I will always be keeping my eyes open for other opportunities that interest me more than lame billboards. :)
The other exciting news I have about work is that I've been filling in at Fries on the Side, the sketch comedy group. Everything went so well during Julia's absence, even though we missed her like crazy. All the cast and crew have been amazingly nice to me and I've made some awesome friends through the group. I've volunteered to continue doing the front of house for them and Julia was stoked to accept my offer. So, I'm officially part of the crew! Fries makes me so happy and totally fulfills why I came to L.A. in the first place. They are such an incredible, talented group of people and I'm honored to play a small role in that. I encourage everyone to go their website (www.friesontheside.com) and read up on them and watch the videos. What they do is really that impressive.
Besides work, I've been hanging out lots with my girls, Jess and Ruth. Ruth actually moved into my apt!! Soon Catherine will be back and it'll be just the three ladies, which I am REALLY looking forward to.
Jess brought me to my first L.A. fashion show. While the venue and the show were cool, the clothes were awful. Complete Hollywood trash attire. Hopefully there are some better ones in the future that we can attend.
I have a short week this week as my friend, Alexa, is coming to visit from Minneapolis. I cannot wait to see her and show her my new life out here. We'll definitely check out the sights, the beaches and I have to take her to Fries on Saturday. She can report back to you all on how rad it is!
Definitely starting to miss folks from home and I think of you all often!!
Until next time...
