So much to write, so little time.

Actually, I have a lot of time. But not time that I feel like committing to writing a detailed description of all the things that have happened as of late.

In some ways I've felt like I've regressed a bit, which as you should know by now is my greatest regret. So, in an effort to live fully in the way I have chosen, I am moving on gracefully and WITHOUT regret (as per Eric.. haha), and I forgive myself for taking a step back momentarily. Was that vague enough for you? There's probably one person on this planet that would know what that was all about, and I hope they understand what that means. I'm sure they do.

On the subject of moving forward, I have just received what may be the greatest news I have gotten in my adult life, at least career related. The backstory is that when I decided to join the PMTS staff it was with the goal of someday being in the admissions department. Said department is responsible for enrollments and recruitement, which breaks down to a mere 80% of the school's revenue. The career path I had figured out for myself was that I would start where I am now, as Service Desk Leader, where I would remain for one year (as per the committment I made when I accepted the position). I would then begin submitting my resume to various schools for the position of Admissions Assisstant, which is normally a 1-3 year position. Eventually my hopes were to be promoted to Admissions Leader, who is solely responsible for the huge percentage of revenue brought in by this department.

The news I received (drum roll please?) was that after my interview a week and a half ago with the Director of Education for PMTS and a day of shadowing the Admissions Leader in our San Diego school, I was offered the position of ADMISSIONS LEADER in our brand new, huge, and beauuutiful Sherman Oaks school! (The same school that is about to be the set of the new Adam Sandler movie about a Jewish boy who wants to be a hairstylist, by the way) And even MORE flattering is that after being offered the position at Sherman Oaks, I was called again and offered the Admissions Leader position in San Diego because I "made such a great impression on them."

So... that was good.

In other news, I'm in a Burlesque Showtroupe which has had one performance already, and two more planned for August 15th (in Hollywood) and August 19th (in Long Beach) and I hope you all come.... ALL of you. Thanks! Because... in a little bit sadder news, I'm going to have to quit once I move to LA. The 15th may actually be my last show.... we'll see. So don't miss it! And if you are interested in coming, I have discounted tickets available! Only a few left so contact me ASAP.

And that's about it!




OOOoooh yeah... and in other news, I have this really awesome friend named Mike Isler. Mike and I met awhile ago while I was living in Santa Barbara and hung out a few times but he moved away to big ol' NYC to pursue a glamorous life as a celeb photog and live in a ridiculously sized apartment just blocks away from the Empire State Building. When he first moved away I was lucky enough to be able to talk to him often on AIM video conference (which you should definitely try if you haven't already) but upon moving to Orange County and finding out that we don't have internet, we have sadly sort of lost touch. I will hopefully get a chance to visit him in New York sometime very soon, that's my goal.... lets say by the end of the year? I'm crossing my fingers.


And that is all. :)
