What is new for 2010?

Currently working a day job -- and finding myself getting sucked into the 'drama' of surly, unhappy, defensive people who seem to find my cheeriness and happy go lucky self grating to their day. I remain unfazed, appreciative on having health insurance and a regular check and continue to be the picture of calmness and laughter, chuckling over the stupidity and sadness of the pathetic pencil pushers who whine to justify their paycheck. Didn't bother to get into tiffs with anybody, because I don't intend to make this place a home for the rest of my life. I cannot imagine staying in day in day out, year after year, with a bunch of unhappy souls. Have a life and have better things to focus on.

A new opportunity fell into my lap for voiceover and background work, put in for it and am awaiting callbacks. I'm really excited. In the meantime, another opportunity for a nicer environ and possibly better pay and promotion, has been swirling around me. I have put in for more information, and continue to look for the best. I'm not going to overthink things, but remain flexible and go with the flow. Already met with the head cheese and was advised later that they were certainly impressed and want me to meet with the rest of the crew.

So things are starting to move quickly. I see this as a way to get one step closer to joining union, as I have yet to save any real money towards membership. But I'm determined for it to happen this year.

Other things I'm looking at: online education for writing classes, acting classes. And travel. In no particular order. I'm already looking at flights to do a simple quick weekend in Canada. It's not that far away and I can hang with friends there so it's all good. Then the next trip for California and then Mexico. Gotta get things moving.
