What am I going to do now?

[Deviate]

a thread for the next step. post your plans. if you have no plans but need 'em, ask for advice.

so, i just lost my job yesterday and i have all this cheap airfare coming my way in March. i think i'm gonna start looking at some temporary theatre stuff, visiting schools, and applying for jobs in other places.

whaddya think?

[catbelly]

Sorry to hear DV8 ... I get your crappy day comment from yesterday now

I think your ideas are good - get back on the horse - but if you can combine that stuff with visits to friends or to places where you can do things that make you happy, I think that would really help. Give yourself a little break, you know?

Something will turn up!

I think if you have the means to do so, do it. I don't know you at all, but it sounds like you don't have kids/spouse tying you down, so I say go for it.

My plans? I'm going shopping for our Oscar Party & then sending out resumes. After that I might clean the house.

Professionally? Ah, who knows.

Three words ladies.
Just three words to change your lives, help you meet interesting people, make money for little effort, open up new horizons.........

Adult
Entertainment
Industry.

[dalang]

Funny you should mention that....

I've thought about joining the Navy.

[bealeblues]

due to the navy's ties to the adult entertainment industry? i'm sure dinz can get you some meetings with some *cough* prominent directors he knows without you having to enlist in the service...

[dalang]

Sorry, there was a roundabout logic on that...

since I'm currently unemployed, I've been looking at ALL the options available to me.

if I'm looking for a somewhat stable, financially rewarding yet interesting career path... the adult entertainment industry gives very little in the way of new skills and growth. the Navy offers new skills, stable employment for a while, but then I'd be on a navy ship for nine to twelve months out of the year working for a mission I may not necessarily agree with.

and both would place me in a position that I would find hard to reconcile in my mind of being the best use of my time, even though both are currently hiring.

see, now your PM inbox will be flooded:

dinzdale: hey baby
dinzdale: re adult films
dinzdale: re 'new skills'
dinzdale: have you tried this?
dinzdale: i just thought of something
dinzdale: viagra cocktails?
dinzdale: your shag palace or mine?

[dalang]

perhaps I didn't make myself clear...

the adult entertainment industry gives ME very little in the way of new skills.

carry on.

[bealeblues]

that's PRECISELY how i read it. that's why dinz will be flooding your inbox...

[dinzdale]

That';s nice.

I was being helpful, and all you can do is fixate on dlang appearing in seedy videos. Tcuh.

[Deviate]

well kimono, you could always start your own adult entertainment business.

new skills
great advancement opportunity
travel

huh?

[dalang]

nah, I think I'll pass. start-up costs would probably dictate that I'd have to star some of my initial productions.

and I get cold very quickly.

this gland will stay tightly-wrapped, thank you.

[zenbabe]

I am also officially unemployed..and it doesn't sound like they are going for the idea of letting me work remotely...so off to AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ for me!
