I've been a bit MIA, I know. But this time with good reason. Last Tuesday, the day of my last post, I received notice that my paternal Grandmother passed away.
This news came after a day at my internship that started out ok ended up not the best. The day started well because my task for the day was to help the Man Boss revise and write a script for a sizzle (promo) reel for a show they are pitching to networks. The day began to head south (and I'm not referring to the good ol' South I tend to miss)...no, the day starting going downhill at an impromptu birthday party we threw for one of the interns, Romania (I recently called him Bulgaria...he's actually from Romania so that is his new name.)
The Woman Boss was talking about her having twin girls. (She's obviously pregnant, but I didn't know it was twin girls.) While I think that is great, sometimes news of twins still makes me a little sad. So after the party I was a tiny bit down, but I was ok. Later, the Man Boss and I had to meet with the Woman Boss about the script...and she tore it apart. That wasn't so bad, because she also made some good points and suggestions...but when she said, "Well, obviously if this show gets picked up, none of us are qualified enough to write and we would hire a professional..." I kinda too it personally. Mainly, because I have been trying to build up my writing, I'm faithful that I will get into the ABC/Disney writing program, and many of my professors have told me I'm a good writer. I mean, I feel like God is molding me to be a writer/producer, so to hear comments like that, make me doubt. But whatever...it is what it is and I press on.
So, on my way home, I called my Mother (as I normally do) but she wasn't home. It was about 7:30ish, which means it was around 10:30 back in Florida, which means Mom should have been home...I felt something was wrong. Then I called her cell and found out that Grandma had passed away.
When I got home, I immediately looked for flights home because I wasn't sure if the services were going to be that weekend or the next. As it turned out, it was a bit more cost effective to fly out the very next day...Wednesday...and the services were set for the next (well...two days from now)
So, I've been back in Florida, spending time with the family...and since the services actually were set for the next week (well...two day from today) I have been able to have a bit of down time...a mini-vacation, so to speak. (though of course, I would have preferred different circumstances for which to come to Florida.)
Anyways, that is why I have been MIA. I'll be in Florida for some more days, but when I'm back in Cali I'll get back to it...well, unless something really interesting jumps off while I am still in Florida. Till then...TTFN...(ta-ta for now) =)
