When you have a lot of other things to do, writing a blog can easily slip your mind.

This one didn’t come as easy as last week’s My Little Pony rant. So, let’s see where it takes us.

As you know, I’ve been searching for employment. I’ve been search for quite some time (it feels like forever). I did have a ten-year job at the Fullerton College Foundation, as the Assistant to the Executive Director. That ended in January of 2020, and soon after, the world shut down.

Since then, I had the opportunity to work on an animated feature film for a few months. THE SOCCER FOOTBALL MOVIE, produced by Splash Entertainment for NETFLIX. I absolutely loved working in Production for Splash, and I would really like to work with them again.

I also had the opportunity to work in a corporate department of The Walt Disney Company. My desire is to work at Disney’s Television Animation division, but I absolutely had great joy working in an office building where my desk looked out across several blocks to the main Studio Lot each day. It was fantastic, and I loved walking over to the Studio every day for lunch and wandering around such historical buildings.

That job was only a “temp” position through an employment agency. It started out as a three-month assignment stretched on to eight. Then at the end of that year the assignment ended.

I have continued searching for a work, with very little luck. A few interviews over Zoom, but nothing more than that. The temp agency did place me at a two-day gig, but nothing more yet.

Under the current economic environment (I won’t get the politics) things have gotten worse.

I keep searching for opportunities, applying for jobs every day. I’ve already applied to nearly 300 positions since the start of 2025. I will keep applying to all I’m a fit for, and maybe one’s I’m not.

It’s been a long quest, but I’m not giving up.

What frustrates me more, is knowing how many other people are out of work as well. Not just in the general population, but within the entertainment industry, in the animation industry that I love so much.

Since I left working at Disney, they have laid off hundreds and hundreds of employees, across the board in all areas, and now a lot more in the film and television departments.

I really hurt for them all. A few of them I know, but there are so many more.

I need to find employment, desperately, but I can’t help but feel for all those and pray they all find work soon. Maybe in the future we’ll be able to work together.

Praying for all of you in need of work, may we all find what we’re after.
