Listening to Danger's anthem and typing like a speed-freak. Lately, the impulse to blog has been closely tied to mp3-inspiration. I've been doing a lot of downloading as I work on my creative proposal for the AFTRS application. My "killer treatment" is coming along quite nicely. I now have a good storyline with developed characters. It's a weird mix of reality and fiction, as was my last film. I like this approach because you can document your friends and certain aspects of their reality within a dramatic creation.

A nasty piece of reality is unfolding at work. Looks like the latest round of workforce reductions is going to claim me as a victim. One of my four remaining colleagues was made redundant last week, setting the scene for my own forced exit. The timing is not bad actually, as I need more time to prepare my AFTRS application! But I'm worried about cashflow and career direction, now that the rug is beginning to slip. My sideline web-design business is beginning to show promise, but not enough to be a viable safety net. Luckily I've lined up a job interview for a trafficking/planning position with a large advertising agency. It's not exactly what I want to do but it's a glamour agency with big clients and the opportunity to move around, or so I hope. On the downside, campaign trafficking is a classic shit-kicking job and pays significantly less than what I get now. Still, I'm excited! If I get offered this job I'm going to take it, redundancy or no redundancy. This place is dead anyways! Bring on the next episode.
