GRIM

so last night i went to my friend jessica's, she's a tv director and lives 1.5 blocks from me. we met through my ex will and we've remained friends. i've met a lot of people that way, liz, rachel, etc and etc. I keep the friends of the boys, but not the boys. anyway, she's a director and was supposed to direct an episode of a FOX tv show but isn't now due to the strike and as a result is going to lose her health benefits cause she hasn't earned enough money to keep them. This is the exact same position I'm in.

she said she's going to have to probably change her career after all the works she's done to establish herself because the strike has ruined her momentum and potential jobs. again this is the exact position I'm in. I'm going to have to change my entire life and basically end my life long dream (although to be fair I did write on a hit tv show and sold another one this year even though it went no where) due to this strike and the 2 years of me not working leading up to it and me not having a job when it ends. it's strange to think none of my other friends will ever have this problem, my friends who aren't part of a union that is.

also i still think it's so unfair that the course of my life is drastically going to change due to HEALTH INSURANCE!!!! or the lack there of. I have it for not, but am going to lose it in september. And as is stands I wont have earned enough by September to keep it going. There is just no way I could earn it even if the strike ended today. People in washington do not care about health insurance driving americans in bankruptcy, they just dont. I wish sicko did more to change policy!
