I've been a Cashier, Grocery clerk, Dairy clerk, Utility locator, Assistant surveyor, Ground Disturbance Supervisor and I currently work for a security company.

In short, not nearly as interesting as some on here.

I see. I've been a little all over the place since I retired from the Navy, and I can't do as much as I used to on account of being disabled, but I still make myself useful where I can. :)

I do freelance film and television production 'below the line', which is to say those people you don't know with jobs you're not entirely sure what they do. Most of the time it's driving people around in minivans and asking people to be quiet, but also location audio mixing and other 'tech' jobs.

I also make videos for local companies for their websites and Yellowpages.com and shit. Boring videos but I don't get paid a lot and am not given a lot of time...and also, how interesting can one make a dentist anyway?

To fill the gaps as of late I've also been teaching saxophone.

Occasionally I'll also do stagehand work. Not a fan.

Every now and then one of my plays makes me a little bit of money.

Prior to college (where I acquired these 'lucrative' skills...) I've been a buyer at a record store, ticket office supervisor at a live arts venue, projectionist, stage manager at recital hall, a children's performer where I dressed up as a Ninja Turtle and went to kids birthday parties, and a largely unsuccessful jazz saxophonist.

Currently I'm trying to pull of a relocation to...sigh...LA because I work on far, far too much reality tv and want to work on scripted programming. Turns out that even if you have a bit of money saved up it's hard to move to a new city. You need a job to get a place and a place to get a job. Though even when I find work when you tell people that you're freelance they hear 'unemployed' anyway. Trying to find a place still.

If you use Craigslist to find a room in a shared apartment, they are usually more open to letting you move in without proof of employment, rather than renting a place by yourself and having to deal with a landlord directly and a rental application. Maybe you could do that to start out, and then get your own place once you're more established.

Maybe you could do that to start out, and then get your own place once you're more established.

That's actually exactly what I've been doing because even studios are *$&#$% expensive in LA...which, okay, I've lived in San Francisco, but still. Most of them still want proof of income. Or are not crazy about interviewing their roommate over Skype since I can't be there to go around to see the place (I assume from them not responding to my texts or emails).

Or the worst one, scams. Apparently there's this scam where you post a perfectly reasonable sounding room listing, when you respond they ask you to join this scam sight called roomster or something like that which acts like a 'charge per contact' dating site for roommates. As far as I can tell they're out of Georgia because there are a suspiciously large number of people in the DTLA area with Georgia area codes.

Also, being a woman is gross...like, you live in a world that is grosser than it needs to be. There are regular "female only" ads that I totally get, like...stranger in your house, you'd like it to be the same gender, cool. But then there are the female only ads that are...gross. Like...no bones about the fact that the roommate situation is for boning.

Not knowing the names of the cities that make up the LA sprawl makes finding listings close to where I'm likely to work (there's a special effects guy I worked for in the Bay that has joined up with a production group that I think wants to hire me in LA proper) kind of tedious. But I'll just keep hammering away. Someone will say yes eventually.

Yeah, sometimes you email people and they don't answer. I've never looked into housing anywhere in California, and the market is different from one place to the next, so LA might have its own special ways to be a pain in the ass. I remember at one point I looked into moving to NJ, and they don't seem to have the concept of finding new tenants before the old tenant moves out, which makes it very hard to plan ahead. All the apartments for rent are landlords going, "Ack! Someone moved out! I need a new tenant to move in RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!"

Or the worst one, scams. Apparently there's this scam where you post a perfectly reasonable sounding room listing, when you respond they ask you to join this scam sight called roomster or something like that which acts like a 'charge per contact' dating site for roommates. As far as I can tell they're out of Georgia because there are a suspiciously large number of people in the DTLA area with Georgia area codes.


Hey, it costs money to rebuild all that stuff Sherman burned! :p

Yeah, we get those in the East too. They are gross. My personal favorite was the guy with a bunker in Maine that was bragging about how he was ready for WW3 and you could go live there with him and "watch the world burn."

Not knowing the names of the cities that make up the LA sprawl makes finding listings close to where I'm likely to work (there's a special effects guy I worked for in the Bay that has joined up with a production group that I think wants to hire me in LA proper) kind of tedious.

That does make it more time-consuming and mentally taxing when you have to look things up on the map to find out where they are.

Ah, well. Good luck with it.
