It's been a while...
Well, I'm updating (not that anyone reads). I stopped blogging here when I decided to move back to Hollywood. SO glad that I did. Things have turned around for me ten-fold and I'm much happier again.
After I moved down, I found that the shop that hired me was another joke. Not that it didn't have business, but they swore that a "Toastmaster Toaster Oven" (kid you not, TOASTMASTER) was an autoclave. After I found this out, I packed my shit immediately and figured I'd end up moving back to Northern California.
Instead, the shop I had previously been working at hired me back earlier than expected. I was supposed to go back in March? May? something like that, I can't remember, but I went back the first week that I was in Hollywood.
After April, the APP convention came and went and when I arrived back home, the staff at the shop was informed that they were shutting down.
Within a few days, I'd relocated to another Hollywood shop. Much like "the Morgue", it was completely dead. I kid you not, in 2 weeks of 12 hour shifts, I made a TOTAL of $20. I walked out on them and went to hang out for a couple of weeks at a shop in Pasadena.
I was offered another job (pretty much the dream position for a piercer) at a world-renowned shop in Anaheim... so I took it. Although the commute sort of sucks, I adore the job, so it makes it all worth it.
K - now you're updated (vague, I know, but it's an update). I may or may not continue this particular blog. I do LOVE the name (brings back some really funny memories) but it's been dedicated to "The Morgue" since I started it and it seems a shame to screw with it, despite it's tiny stature.
We'll see, I'm sure.
