Well... first new job interview tomorrow with Trapeze Studios... wish me luck. They seem like a cool gang. Lots of A-list clients in the portfolio and it appears like the CEO gets his hands dirty and does good things. We'll see what it's like.
I just want to be around people who are passionate about the work they do. I'd also like to be around people who are competent about the work they do. Don't get me wrong, many people in the company I work for now are absolutely brilliant -- but management lacks experience in certain areas the company is becoming more involved in... and instead of giving the experts the reigns... well I've probably bitched about this before.
Anyway, I totally got interviewed for some small tv spot yesterday. I was out buying some new yarn (yes -- I got into knitting somehow) at a small cafe (called of all things, "The Knit Cafe") when I was accosted by a young lady with far too much make-up and her camera crew. She claimed I was everything she needed -- how could I say no?
Anyway, to give you context, I just rode my bike hard from work. I rode fast and hard because somehow the weather got really cold really fast during the day and I was only wearing bike shorts and a spring jacket. So when I did the interview, I was probably red in the face and sweating a little. I was freezing cold, wanted to buy some yarn, and go home.
Well... it was fun.
And the yarn I bought? Amazing. Hand-spun by an artisan co-operative in Uruguay to give rural women support and opportunities. Very earthy and neat stuff. I hope it'll make a nice scarf for someone I like.
Anyway -- that's all for now. I hope you are doing well!
