My Unemployment: Feast or Famine

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2009/07/feast-or-famine.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Having only a few short gigs spanned over 6 months and then finally landing a longer term job is like starving yourself all day for Yom Kippur and then pigging out to break the fast. You do a lot of soul searching and complaining while you are starving for something, and subsequently pig out as soon as you get to the feast. Then you kvetch about how stuffed you are. Am I almost burned out? I think the show I'm working on now will do ...

My Unemployment: Ring the Alarm

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2010/04/ring-alarm.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. If I thought my hotel would catch fire at 3:30am on a Monday morning I would have taken a few seconds before nodding off to do things differently. Because when an alarm goes off in the middle of the night and a voice over a loudspeaker tells you to immediately make your way over to the closest emergency exit, your mind tends to quickly fog up like a windshield at a drive in. From My Own Experience:. On the back of your room door ther...

My Unemployment: February 2009

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Monday, February 23, 2009. Rick Allen lost his arm yet found a new way to Rock. Tick tick. tick. Can you hear it? That's the sound of my severance clock beating down. Last week while picking up a paycheck from one of my day jobs, I ran into the one contact I forgot to notify about the layoff. I have no idea how she slipped through the cracks of my extensive job hunt, but I found her at the right time. She had one casting producer position still avail...On da...

My Unemployment: Causes for a Celebration

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2009/09/caras-belated-birthday-1-year-laid-off.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Thursday, September 10, 2009. Causes for a Celebration. Headphones that don't break after 2 months. A hug from my little brother half a world away. Cupcakes with zero calories. A weeks rest followed by another job. Facebook birthday appreciation - (check! Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! This time last 9/10 I was alone on a shaky plane coming back from a casting scout in Arizona. Little did I know about the real turbulence looming in my life.

My Unemployment: I'm one of You now.

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2009/10/im-one-of-you-now.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. I'm one of You now. Did i want it? NO Did I need it YES. To all the Blackberry and IPhone toting people out there, I did not want to be a part of your world. Sure I wanted to ask you for directions on how to get from A to B or what the name of that old Dave Coulier show was from time to time (Cut-It-Out! But I didn't want one permanently glued to my palm. Faced with potentially loosing a long term gig (16 weeks! I'm proud to have...

Mappery: February 2009

http://mappery.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 27, 2009. Some sort of rare fossil formed in glass or crystal? Seaweed or ferns imprinted into ice? No, this is something you could make. It is a natural fractal pattern. Formed by air displacing a vacuum that resulted from pulling two glue-covered acrylic sheets apart. And you thought that any sort of (productive) play with glue ended after Kindergarten . Welcome to this blog. If you're curious, these images are:. Top Row (from left to right):. Bottom Row (from left to right):. Pretty m...

My Unemployment: April 2009

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. When can you finally consider yourself to be a New Yorker? Is it when you sign up for that first Duane Reade card? Is it when a tourist singles you out of a crowd to ask for directions? How about when it takes 6 weeks to book an appointment with a new doctor? Stroll by The Ed Sullivan theater or 30 Rock and a Page could offer you free tickets to a late night talk show. Beats waiting months for a ticket reserved by calling the a...

My Unemployment: May 2009

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. But this memorial day, I delinquently gathered my luggage and headed to a remote bay in Erie, Pennsylvania. It was the first of the 5 weddings I'll be attending this year. Even though I live a crazy life full of cover letter writing, job board stalking, aprender Español, various networking meet-ups. because I don't have a boss and feel the stress of deadlines, I don't view myself as actually working. While I still don't feel like I ear...

My Unemployment: Fight the Powder!

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2010/02/fight-powder.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Friday, February 12, 2010. Snow days. A chance to sit back with hot cocoa and watch white flakes fall to the ground, blanketing the landscape outside your bedroom window. But beware of wishing for a big bad blizzard. Much like a wolf in sheep's clothing, those things are not as serene as they may seem. Those peaceful looking drifts are dangerous and crippling to the fragile economy around you. Why did I risk falling on black ice? Candidates will receive a tr...

My Unemployment: The Evolution of Cara

http://unemploymentactivities.blogspot.com/2010/05/evolution-of-cara.html

Life is tough. This is how I'm keeping it fun. Saturday, May 22, 2010. The Evolution of Cara. 8221; had she been there. When the train suddenly jolted out of it's brief slumber the two hipster rejects continued trying to prove who was the funnier one by making goofy faces learned in their respective level 1 improv classes. After one of them lifted an eyebrow while saying “did you just hear that awesome thing I said? In four days I will be unemployed again. My current casting gig has a built in 2 mont...
