Let the insanity begin….

What’s good?

I’ve been meaning to write for about two weeks now but, as always, my laziness gets the best of me and I put it off until I forget everything funny I’ve thought of and end up having to write some bullshit.

I’ll begin by catching everyone up on what I’ve been up to (WHO AM I WRITING TO? NO ONE READS THIS SHIT!). Ah, well now that I’ve got that out of my system, lets get to work.

I’ve just finished my first week on the new job. I thought I would write a real symbolic final post on my last day at Westmead and do nothing work related, but it ended up being a pretty normal friday for me.

I did some work in the morning, then spent the rest of the day watching episodes of Everybody Hates Chris on youtube. I don’t know why, but I always end up doing shit that, under all normal circumstances, no one else would do.

In high school I would turn up to my last period class on the last day of school ever (as in last day before finals). No one came. Not even the teacher. And on my last day at Westmead, being by myself in an unattended office, I decide to finish up on some paperwork. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know. I’m not really a goody-two shoes, but it just seems reasonable to me at the time.

Anyway, it was bittersweet leaving Westmead, I had a system going, freedom in start and finish times, and most fridays I got to watch tv all day. But I was glad to move on to bigger and better things.

This new job has been pretty decent so far. My ‘boss’, one of the gastroenterologists, really doesn’t have too much to do with me on a regular basis and I am left up to my own devices. The work’s pretty easy at the moment and all my colleagues seem nice. The best thing though, is that it only takes me 20mins to get to and from work in peak hour traffic. That’s the closest I’ve been to work/school in a very long time.

Oh yeah its my birthday today. 22. Man, I really wish I could turn back time to when I was 15. I’ve already wasted so much time doing jackshit, there’s not another moment to lose. I won’t get anything this year, like most years and I’m cool with that.

Presents aren’t important. My family has never really done christmas or birthdays and it’s real. Kids need to know, you’re not missing out on anything just because you didn’t get something because you were born on that day, or because it’s December 25th.

Everything you get is a priviledge, not birthright.

This year I hope to make progress like I never have before, so that when I am 23, I can  look back and truly be happy with everything I’ve done. I also wish for the safety and health of all my family. At the end of the day, those are the only two things you need.

I hope this year, I will have the strength of character to always remember to be me.

Anyway, I guess the only newsworthy point to make in this post is that I got a call from my ‘agent’ last thursday (sounds stupid, ‘agent’, like I’m actually somebody) about an audition for the next day for a comedy series due to be shot for channel 7. I said yes and on the next day I told work that I had to use my lunch break to take my mum to the Sydney Eye Hospital and I’d be back at one.

So friday rolled around and I raced into the city from Concord, got lost, parked the car on oxford st. and sprinted down to the Casting offices and did my audition. I was so rushed I really didn’t care too much about the performance but the lady seemed to like it and then I was on my way again. I got lost getting back to Concord and ended up getting back to the office at 2. I stayed back till 6:30 to make up for it.

Right now I’m at my desk at my new job, 6th day and I am about to go insane with boredom. I haven’t been this bored since I was in the exact same situation in a similar office about 15km away a few weeks ago. Hence, the cycle is starting again…

So that’s what’s been happening with me. At all other times I am trying to work on my script. Nothing else really matters too much to me at this point. It’s hard to wrack your brains out for a funny and original story just staring at the laptop when you’ve been in front of a computer screen all day, but I gotta keep reminding myself  ”Just lay that first brick”….

One day I will look up and I’ll have this

ZERO 2 HERO!!!!
