made it through my first 12 hour workday…i have exactly 22 weekdays left to go this month. i am so thankful for the employment, now just hoping it doesn’t kill me. i’m even working 9 hour saturdays and 5 hour sundays. so until i leave for my trip to new york in january, i literally have this coming saturday and sunday as my only days off. so i’m going to portland for new years to see dear friends. but seriously, employment is a good thing!
1/3 of my job is working evenings and weekends at a luxury make-up store. i’m being vague because this amazing full-time blogger got fired from her job for using too many dets. so the swag i got tonight was enormous, and i’m told we get this 2-3 times a week!
you all know what swag is, right? in case you don’t, it means:
in popular culture, the term swag now usually refers to promotional items or gifts that are given away by companies or organizations. it can also simply be used as a slang term for desirable items in general.
well in acting land you get a ton of expensive swag! i literally have an entire box full of expensive potions and lotions i got from different gigs i had. and i’m not even a celebrity! celebrity swag at the oscars this year was valued at over $100k and subject to taxation by the irs!
so i gave half the swag to the single mom whom i rent a room from and she was ecstatic. it was expensive crap i don’t need. i kept the stuff i’d use, but a lot of it wasn’t quite in my color realm. it was really fun giving it to her, she was really excited by the pricey goods! bring on the free stuff!
