The end of my friends visit was punctuated by a little freaking out about my lack of job and money in my bank accounts.\u00a0 I placed a call into the Diocesan’s insurance administrator to check the status of my unemployment benefits application, and was told that they only cut checks once a month and that is around the 15th of the month.\u00a0 So it would mean that I wouldn’t get a check until mid-July.\u00a0 Thankfully on Thursday (the 26th), a check arrived with my first payment (which was backdated to include everything from my last day of work (May 15th).\u00a0 That took a big weight off my shoulders for sure.<\/p>\n
I signed up at a temp agency downtown.\u00a0 They have mentioned a few opportunities, but I haven’t been sent out on anything yet.\u00a0 The person there did give me some resume tips…so I’ve made some updates and plan on bringing them in Monday after the long holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
I saw the movie Wanted<\/a>, on Friday.\u00a0 It is directed by the same director as the Russian films Nightwatch and Daywatch.\u00a0 It was pretty enjoyable, lots of action, a cool car chase, and fun with trains.\u00a0 Its not going to win any major awards or anything…but it was fun and worth the $14 (gotta love weekend movie pricing in LA).\u00a0 The car chase almost overtook my previous favorite car chase in a movie (Ronin Car Chase<\/a>), but its more special effect created, while the Ronin chase was just driving. (Wanted Car Chase\u00a0Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a>)<\/p>\n Other than that, it was a pretty slow week.\u00a0 Still trying to be frugal with the funds, trying to read, trying to spend time at the beach avoiding the heat.\u00a0 I got to do the prayers of the people at church on Sunday.\u00a0 That was cool, my first involvement in a church service since finishing at Canterbury.\u00a0 I’m really liking the new 10:15 service.\u00a0 Its keeping me at Beverly Hills right now.\u00a0 I might be getting more involved with this service in the near future.<\/p>\n …and wow, the year is half over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The end of my friends visit was punctuated by a little freaking out about my lack of job and money in my bank accounts.\u00a0 I placed a call into the Diocesan’s insurance administrator to check the status of my unemployment benefits application, and was told that they only cut checks once a month and that … <\/p>\n
