Two months

Today, I am happy, and that is all that really matters to me. As of yesterday, I have been living in Los Angeles for two months. In that time, I have made many new friends, gotten to know the area, bonded with old friends, and have been working at the first Dunkin in LA. 
Today was the first time I saw the line at Dunkins be only a few people. To most East Coasters, waiting more than 10-15 minutes tops is too long for Dunkins. However, when there is literally only one Dunkins, you can expect people to be waiting for an hour or more. Today, it was a long line that dwindled later on. It was a great feeling watching that line slowly become normal. Now, working at this new place that is talked about everywhere, you'd expect some crazy things happening. The other day, I served Alyson Hannigan and her family. That was exciting. I treated her like a normal person.. it was a Sunday morning after all. A few other celebs have passed through, but not too many yet. On Wednesday, Ellen (yes from the Ellen Show) set up a skit in our Dunkins to air on her show. No, she wasn't there, but I did make it on TV. You can click on the link here. That was pretty cool. Granted, I was more impressed by the film equipment in the back. 

Life has been pretty good. No, I don't have a TV job yet, but there's still time to find something. Right now, I'm happy. That was the most important thing to me.

I've been spending most of my time working, but when I have days off, I listen to my new record player and watch Netflix. Occasionally, I walk around the area. Surprisingly, I have mostly morning shifts (well, they start in the morning) and have to get up early on a regular basis. That's probably for the better. Routine is kicking in, and so is growing up and being responsible. I know to put away money for bills first rather than spend it on something I want. I know that working overtime may be tiring, but it will be worth it when that paycheck comes. It's also fun. Something about working and paying my bills makes me feel good about myself. Working is also just fun. A day at Dunkins is a mix of everything. You get angry customers, but for every angry customer, there's 20 happy ones (at least). They make it worth it. So
