The Five Senses

I feel like it's weird to like LA as much as I do. I'm sure it's because I disliked NY so much, but still. I'm sitting on my porch watching cars pass by every few minutes. I can see two palm trees and out of the corner of my eye, steam rises from my rapidly cooling coffee. I hear the parking gate across the street opening and my ears almost hurt when I try and focus them on one of the many rapid-firing chirps coming from all directions. I'm in a short-sleeved shirt and the weather is perfect, slightly breezy, but no chill bumps to be found. I smell air, instead of exhaust, and if it's possible, I smell the green that surrounds me. The wonderful after-taste of my too-sweet coffee is in my mouth, welcoming the mild inhales from my cigarette.

I don't have to go into work for several more hours, and the ability to sleep in this morning raised my spirits to an unsuspecting high. I was going to say week-long high, but that honor goes to Monday when I recieved a phone call for a dream job interview.

The interview was for an assistant editor, (later revealed as a Post-PA), position on a network television show. The position that will lead me into what I want to do. All too soon if you ask me. I was expecting this phone call weeks/months/years from now.

My career path has been a little too-easily laid, and I'm suspicious at why, in the grand scheme of things, my life, or job-path, has gone so well.

Of course, I don't know if I actually got the job, and probably wouldn't be completely surprised if I didn't, but wow, I interviewed for what I can only describe as "the job". The job that would set me on the right path, and out of the realm of reality.

So I guess it's a waiting game now. I'll find out soon enough if I got it. And when and if I do, I'll have to start making preparations of quitting yet another job. I hate quitting anything. And quitting a job is painful. Especially when I've already made such good friends with my crew.

In conclusion, I'm loving LA. It's bringing opportunities to me that I never expected this early in my "career" and the quality of life here, is great. Sure traffic is a pain and smoggy days are kinda gross, but I'm happy. Wooo! Land of opportunity!
