copyright/ behavior/ book

 This is from www.badcb.blogspot.com:

Jun. 18 Copyright: I got this from Twitter:
 "Keep a detailed log of all meetings, calls, and queries you’ve sent. This means keeping track of who you’ve talked to and what was said. This will help if there are any legal questions (like if somebody tries to steal your ideas) and it will also help you keep a record of contacts you’ve made. Never hesitate to contact an attorney."I already do that.  I have a folder of all the things I've worked on related to getting The Vertex Fighter script produced.

Behavior: Today I got an email from a producer.  He also said I was abrupt.  I have improved a lot.  Whenever I get angry or agitated, I close my eyes for a few moments and think of something else.  It helps.
 

Jun. 20 Lights Film School: The Edmonton Film School did lead me to the Lights Film School.  It's an online film school.

Jun. 21 Envy Productions: I was going through my bookmarks and found "Envy Production Casting Calls in Nov."  I then Googled it and it promotes night clubs in Toronto and London, so it's not a TV production company.  I deleted the bookmark.

Green with Envy Productions: It lead me to this TV production company.  However, it seems to be more about theatre like the Winnipeg and Montreal Fringe Festival.  It does have a little film section.

Plus One Publishing: I was going through my notes and I found that I wrote down "Plus One Books- local publishing company."  It lead me to Plus One Publishing which is based in Los Angeles.  They have a book called Why He's My Ex.  Here's the website, it looks pretty cool:

"Plus One Publishing is a boutique book publisher. Plus One specializes in dating, relationship, humor, photography, pop culture, film production, urban life, travel, quirky and fun themes. We enjoy telling stories with both words and pictures.

Our mission is to entertain, inform and share."

Plus One Books: However, in my notes it did say "local publishing company."  I'm not sure when I wrote down the note.  Maybe 2009.  I Googled "Plus One Books Edmonton", but there wasn't anything.

Plus One Press: I did find this small publishing company in San Francisco.


I also wrote down "workopolis.com" in the notes.  I haven't been to that site in a long time, but I'll guess I'll check it out.

Jun. 24 Personality quiz: I had applied to another office and then I got an email to do a personality quiz.  When I looked at it, I think I have done the same quiz when I applied at this other office last year.  There are group of words and you check which word describes the most like you and which is least like you.  It's like those personality quizzes I used to do in those teen magazines.

Book: Maybe it's the law of attraction working here.  The other day, my sister got the book Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google? by William Poundstone.  I read 2 chapters and it's a really good book.  I read the chapter about weird interview questions.  At Zappos, a question was: "How crazy are you from a scale of 1 to 10?"  If you say 1, then you're not very creative and won't get hired.  If you say 10, then you are too much of a loose cannon.

Pick somewhere in the middle, and you are creative. 


TV production: It must be the law of attraction or a coincidence, but I got 2 job leads in the TV production industry, so I applied there.
