Oh hi there! Fancy seeing you here.
What have you been up to the last few months? Oh, really? That’s cool!
Oh me? Oh not too much, same old, same old. Well I mean there was Vegas, which was indescribable… And then my Dad came over for his 60th birthday which was a ridiculous amount of fun… And then I started a new semester at University and moved to an incredible new house closer to the city…. And then I went to Victoria for a wedding of two amazing friends who I couldn’t be happier for! There is more news too (like changing my major), but each story is best saved for another day.
So why have I been a bad blogger? Well for starters, I’ve never been a particularly good blogger. I’ve been trying to streamline my life and I’m not sure if this site has any place in that life anymore. I recently let go of a bunch of domains and stagnant projects. It feels good to free my mind of some clutter. My focus can be spread only so thin before nothing gets accomplished. I have been writing though! I’m writing a book. It’s about me! But much like the blog, I’m always on the fence about how personal to get. I’ve also started blogging elsewhere for a project I’m very proud of. I’ll share that info soon.
I’ve been job hunting lately! My reservoirs are starting to run dry, but more importantly, I’m starting to go stir-crazy without a job – especially with Summer around the corner. I was thinking about this last week, I’ve been working since I was 7; not 17, 7. That’s twenty years of working. These last five months not working have been great, but I need some structure.
I’ve done a lot of really cool things, run some great businesses and worked for some great companies over the last two decades. I thought it would be really fun to compile a list of the places I’ve worked. Without further adieu, here is a list of companies I’ve worked over the last twenty years:
-Royal Oak Garden Center & Florist
-Gavman co
-Passionate Gourmet
-Victoria’s Own Real Piccadilly Fruit Cart
-Sooke Harbour House
-Fairmont Empress
-Pacifica Crystals
-Thompson Marketing
-Big Dog Sportswear
-Herald St Center of the Performing Arts
-Campbells Soup
-Pepperidge Farms
-Staples
-Rogers Video
-West Call Center
-Brokenhawke Entertainment
-Toy store
-Random Temping all over Vancouver
-So much background it’s ridiculous
-CTM Talent Agency
-Rubber Ducky Films
-Border 2 Border Entertainment
-Casting Workbook
-Geotech Labs
Good lord that’s a lot of jobs! I’m fairly confident it’s complete, but I may be missing one or two entries. What’s even crazier are the number of different tasks I’ve done at each place. Many of those jobs were worked simultaneously, especially my own companies. I’m proud that every one of those jobs was a great gig with one exception (see unnamed toy store in the middle of the list).
So here I am back at the whole job search and have no idea where I’ll end up next! I think I’d like to work a bar next; the late nights would be golden.
I’m not sure the site will stay online much longer, at least in it’s present form, but thanks for reading over the past few months!
Anyways, here’s to adventures! ADVENTURES!!
