I've got a lot of stuff going on right now. I had this plan, you see. I was going to get a second part-time office job, and split my weekdays between that and the District. And I was going to use the internet to barter off my truck for something else, preferrably something with an automatic transmission. Then, I was going to save up as much money as possible and move. But everytime I make a "plan", things turn to shit...
Within a week's time:
I was "temporarily fired" from the District, meaning I can come back to work when I get back in school. But, to be completely honest, I don't want to go back to that place. It was almost as bad as high school in that office. Everybody in there hated each other, and they were always trying to get each other fired. And I would've been doing a lot of work for my old department, with the Wicked Witch of CCCD.
My truck died. Like. DEAD died. Won't-Start died. Would-Cost-More-to-Fix-Than-the-Truck-is-Worth died.
I was never even able to START the Plan. No truck to trade and no job to supplement another with. And I'm having a really difficult time finding a new job, to make matters worse. Which means no money for a new car any time soon...
At the moment, though, I'm trying to work on something else (and, until I finally find another job, this will be my main focus)... A couple friends and I are building the Los Angeles Starving Artists Association, an organization that, in the future, we hope to be able to use to help dedicated, worthy artists get the equipment/supplies, training, and anything else they need to make their way in the industry of their choice. Once LASAA has become as large as we can get it, I'm hoping to acquire a decently-sized apartment complex in the LA or OC area that we can use as reasonably-priced housing for struggling artists. But that could take years, even DECADES.
