Jeff emails me and says a friend of his just told him about a job opportunity that he thinks I’d be perfect for.

What is it?

It’s the personal technology consultant to the founder of a major record label. To be in charge of all computer/home theater/techy things for him… not for his record label, for him.

Sounded interesting.

So I emailed his assistant about the job, went in and interviewed on a Wednesday, then was asked to come back that Friday and meet with him and his wife for a second interview. I was offered the job on the spot and took it the next day. I’ll be splitting my time between his small office and large home, as well as overseeing technology in his other homes around the US.

Work now starts at 10 rather than 8? Check.
Both work locations are within two miles of my house? Check.
A raise, and switching from hourly to salary? Check.

Finally, an excuse to buy a moped? Check and check.

I gave my two weeks at Make It Work, made a lot of my clients sad by telling them I was leaving, then turned in my Mini Cooper and got a >BMS v9 Evo Milan 150cc Scooter . I still have my Mazda 3, but I’ve always wanted a motorcycle or moped, and since my commute is so insanely short and gas is so expensive now, it’s the perfect time for two-wheeled adventures. I’ve been riding it for about a month and I am in love!

New job, and new car. What about funnier things?

Scot and Assad have been booking me on ComedyJuice about twice a month, which is fantastic. Typically, I’ll host the Hollywood Improv on a Wednesday, and the following Thursday, feature at the Ice House in Pasadena. It’s an absolute honor to be on ComedyJuice at all, much less be a regular performer and a member of the CJ family. I’ve been getting more and more friend/fan requests on Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/etc and people messaging me telling me how hard they were laughing at my standup. It feels amazing and I feel so lucky to have the ability to make people feel like that.

I’ve also joined up with my friends Geoff and Derek and joined their production company called Sad Ninja. Geoff, a regular mention on g27, is a very talented producer and director, and Derek is the most prolific writer I’ve ever met. We’re about to be done editing our last project entitled, “Why Weed is Better Than Sex”. Geoff and Derek wrote it, with my help, Geoff produced and directed, I associate produced, and am a lead extra. Jonny was the production designer and turned a boring living room into a total party palace. I’ll of course post the full film to g27 when it’s finished.

We have a lot of shorts in the works and I’ll be keeping you updated with their progress as the ideas become realities.

And now I’m off to visit the boys on the set of a short that they’re working on, then seeing Bruno Mars at Zanzibar in Santa Monica. Go check him out, he’s like if Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey had a threesome with a guitar.
