I was given the advice that a good, safe way to let out frustrations is to write down your thoughts. However, I strongly suggest doing this at home, not at work. I accidentally saved my "thoughts" to a public server named, "To What My Life Has Come". After getting laid off/ fired from a job that I hated in Boston, I packed up my life for new and exciting adventures. I was bound for Los Angeles.

Life at Shady Pines
I started volunteering at an assisted living facility in Hollywood. It is really nice and have all levels of care for it's residents. Some people are recovering from strokes and some are still working. I help out with different functions they are having. My first day was serving popcorn at the friends and family BBQ. I met a wonderful woman, 99 years old and she is a pistol. (pictured with me)
I also met a nice elderly man. He told me I could be a jean model because i have a nice rear end. He use to work in a print marketing which I can only imagine what that was "code" for. He asked me to bring some pictures of myself the next time I was going to be there because he still knows a lot of people in the business. Today I was there to help with their ice cream social, he asked in a very determined voice, "Scott, where are the pictures? I have work lined up for you!". I can only imagine what he had in mind with the pictures.
Identity Crisis
Got an email saying that Rusty & I were requested to come back for another run-through of the new game show, Identity Crisis. This time Craig Ferguson who is going to be the show's host would be there.
Team "Shop & Drink" was back for round 2. There were about 20 CBS people there along with David Arquette. Craig is really funny. He played along with us and had great enthusiasm. This run-through was going to be a little different. Instead of being a half-hour show, it was now going to be an hour. Also, they were going to change the name again to "Celebrity Name Game". (Personally, I think it sounds very generic).
We ran the hour show and unfortunately again, we didn't come out as the winning team.
