I woke up around 5AM this morning and couldn't really get back to sleep. I was feeling quite homesick for NYC and I was wondering what the hell am I doing in LA? Obviously a reaction to my talk with Guild HR about the job I'm applying for. In addition I had a nice little chat with a New Yorker in my office about Penn Station and Grand Central Station.
After I got up to make my breakfast, I checked my email. My former boss in NYC emailed me to inform me that the head of the HSS IRB had contacted her about me. Earlier this week I had applied for an IRB job at HSS. My boss told me that I could easily walk into the position. I felt elated and in my reply I thanked her profusely. I then went on to inform my two other references in NYC that I had applied for the job at HSS. I think I needed to feel wanted and my boss' email fulfilled that need. I was a bit cranky and out of sorts my first hour at the office as I compared what would likely be a decently compensated position in NYC to what i would be doing at the Guild. Fortunately I got out of my funk by heading upstairs to take my very unchallenging tests. I did well. Now they have to contact my references. I'm feeling better about the Guild position and what I'll need to do to survive the next 6 months if I'm offered the position. But I'm still feeling quite ambivalent about my future here in LA. Perhaps if I can just get settled and make a few more friends or have some more outlets besides office, apartment and internet, I won't long so much for NYC. Anyway, if I get the Guild offer, I'll accept and carry on, but with an eye out for something better that may come up in New York.
Comfort and Thayne got the boot on So You Think You Can Dance. Big shock! I so hope judges pet Will gets the axe next week.
