Temping = Dead Like Me

After a discussion with my sister yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I was actually going to have to make some sacrifices to make this dream happen. *Gasp!* I know, right? Tamara (my sister) told me that I needed to get a job, any job, ASAP. Although she did agree with me that a full-time position would defeat the purpose of my coming down here. Which means I have to adjust my financial expectations.

As far as jobs go, Prince referred me to a temping agency located in Pasadena. I've got an interview with them on Monday morning. Looks like I'll be dusting off my suit collection and wearing matching socks for the first time in a while.

One of my favorite TV shows was set in a temping agency. The main protagonist, a recently dead girl, works there but has to cut out at odd hours to reap people. As in take their souls into the next life. I suppose that's not entirely dissimilar from my leaving work to participate in what is often called a "soul-sucking industry".
