work sucks.

i'm all pissed off cuz after telling me that i could have this part time job at my company, my boss realized something stupid about headcount and then was all talking about the position that i was gonna be taking, which is now a 12-9 (not part time at fucking all!) position like i was still gonna want it. so i was all whatever. and sorta planning on quitting. now what my plan was was to find some dumb part time job and work that while i try to figure out what it is that i really want to do with my life.
then i stumbled onto an ad for my dream job--a video editing position at industrial light and magic. i was way into video making when i was in college and some days it's definitely what i want to do with my life. i had never really gone looking for a position like this before though cuz one, i didn't know where to find them, and two, i didn't really think i could get a job like that. for some reason, now i feel like i'm able. i think it might have something to do with these pheromones that my roommate has. they've totally changed my life.
anyway, so i sorta figure that this job is a long shot, but it's given me some hope and i started looking for similar jobs with other companies. i put my resume in at dice which is cool cuz you just sorta put it there and then people come to you. here's where the weird part starts.
today i get this email from a woman saying that they'd like to look at my resume and to tell them a little about the movies that i have produced. the company is digiscents. they are producing digiscent technology which brings the sense of smell right to your computer through the use of a "snortal". apparently, this is not a joke. i feel all stuck in the middle of some bizarre john waters movie. i don't even know where to begin making fun of this. but of course i sent them my resume. i sorta hope that i get the interview so that i can go in and see what the office is like. i mean, what kind of people are designing this, ya know? the only thing is, i'm not sure i'd be able to keep a straight face. now don't get me wrong. i think that i would *love* to work for this company. but it still cracks me up. i will definitely keep you updated.
