My Future Plans

Tweet

It has come to my atten­tion, both by my Aunt Lonie and Megan Flynn, that there might be some con­fu­sion as to my future plans. This post is devoted to dis­pelling those myths.

I plan, when I grad­u­ate, to con­tinue with my job at CRESH. What is CRESH? Well, CRESH stands for Com­puter Resource Enter­prise Sys­tems Host­ing. We host a piece of soft­ware called Peo­ple­Soft. It’s basi­cally only use­ful for business-types as it helps them man­age Human Resources (HR), Finan­cials / Sup­ply Chain (FIN/SC), and Cus­tomer Rela­tion­ship Man­age­ment (CRM). None of these mean much to me except in that they are my job.

My plan then, dur­ing that year, is to stay involved in the DSU The­atre as much as I can. I know what I would love to hap­pen, but I don’t want to jinx any­thing. So, instead, I’ll just say that I want to help out. Also dur­ing this time, I will prob­a­bly, maybe, apply to some grad­u­ate schools.

To tell you the truth, what I want to really do with my life is write. Really. I really liked writ­ing King Tut, and I think I would really like to write for tele­vi­sion. I’ve been inspired by the host of intel­li­gent, off­beat come­dies out there recently. I don’t like to speak this dream out­loud because I worry what peo­ple will say (and I tend to be sen­si­tive about things I really care about), and I worry that what peo­ple say will be right, and I should just quit dreaming.

I think this next year will be a turn­ing point for me and this dream. If I have favor­able results to what I want to hap­pen, and things go well, and I feel a tiny tad bit more secure about things, I may just try it. I mean, it’s not like Com­puter Sci­ence and Math­e­mat­ics dou­ble degrees are nec­es­sar­ily Busi­ness degrees. (BURN) I have quite the edu­ca­tion to fall back on. The thing is, I wouldn’t know where to go from here. Hol­ly­wood? New York? Chicago Improv? Or could I accom­plish any­thing online?

These are ques­tions. For now, I’m writ­ing. You can’t con­vince some­one to hire you with­out any­thing for them to read. And, some­how, this web­site seems ill-suited as a “port­fo­lio”. I’ve writ­ten a lot, though. Though though. Now let’s start writ­ing stuff that’s worth read­ing. What I really need is con­flict and pain to write. How about this: Holli is going to Florida for Christ­mas. Here’s hop­ing she doesn’t come back with the 90% fatal Avian Flu. That’s too much pain and conflict.
