Loosen This Job(lessness)

It amazes me how well this song mirrors a job hunt. From the silence of unacknowledged e-mails to the first whisper of opportunity. To a lead that falls through when a breakthrough is expected. To drinks, and fuzz, and the words “maybe tomorrow.” Until, finally — when you least expect it — life gains momentum. Taps its fingernails nervously throughout a first phone call. Feels its heart pound a sickly, staccato rhythm throughout a first interview. Rises above the percussive hiccups and beads of sweat to find its voice and realize it’s a strong one, a capable one.
That’s right, folks — I am now employed as a projection booth manager at a midtown art house that primarily screens Bollywood and Asian films! Consider me thrilled. The projection booth is a pretty big part of my life, and I’d missed it terribly. Now I get to spend my days fondling celluloid and watching films I think fantastic in one way or another. Observe:
We screen Karzzz next month, a film in which “Vengeance is back….” I’d expect “Vengeance” to play something significantly more threatening than a Sunburst colored Stratocaster, but hey, what do I know?
Until next time!
