David Tennant Regenerates
1/1/10 The last hoorah for David Tennant is now over. The regeneration has happened and as expected I'm sad.
Haven't blogged much lately but thought I'd start the new year with one. Most of my Twitter followers know how crap my life has been lately. Hopefully 2010 will be better.

Back to Being Treated Like a Child
Still no job. Have ran out of money. This morning I will be heading off to Louisiana to stay with my parents until my unemployment kicks in. Back to being yelled at and scolded. Back to being told what to do and when to do it. Bah!
Can't say I haven't enjoyed the past few weeks. The lovely David Tennant has been everywhere. Absolute Radio was fun. Then the Waters of Mars which was sad and strange. Children in Need preview of the End of Time last night.
Hopefully I will be able to check in from my new prison.

No longer will American TV audiences be asking doctor who?
Popular British actor David Tennant, best known for playing the title role in the BBC's long-running sci-fi series "Doctor Who," is set to make his American television debut as the title character in NBC's hourlong pilot "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer."
Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, "Rex" centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
David Semel, who directed the pilots for "Heroes" and "Life," has come on board to helm the comedic legal drama from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.
He will also executive produce with veteran Barry Schindel (who is attached as showrunner), Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein. Leeds and Lampson serve as supervising producers.
NBC greenlighted the project in August, about two years after it was first developed, and had been trying to find a lead actor for several months until Tennant came along and nailed the part.
Tennant, a theater and TV actor, rose to fame playing the mysterious alien time-traveler at the center of "Doctor Who" for the past five years. His performance as the Doctor has been often rated as the top in the franchise's 46-year history.
Tennant's casting is reminiscent of the tapping of another established British TV actor with virtually no American TV experience, Hugh Laurie, as the lead on Fox's medical drama "House."
Tennant, who co-starred in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," recently signed with UTA. He's also repped by U.K.'s Independent Talent Group.

Big Brother is Watching You
Day 1 of unemployment. I accidently set my alarm and was awoken at the god awful time of 4.45am to the annoying blast of sound that comes from my sony alarm clock. Life will take some adjusting to now that I am a woman of leisure and not by choice.
As much as I hated the job I did truly like the people but people let you down. Especially when it comes to their jobs. I know I did nothing wrong. I know I tried. I will try to move on.
It's very easy to fall into a trap of feeling sorry for yourself and believe me I've done it several times. I do not know why bad things always happen to me. I do not know why no one ever feels I'm worth the fight. I suppose I'm just disposable.
I do not have it in me to be corrupt or to step on other people for my own gain. I try to roll with the punches. Keep my head down and carry on. Look where its got me..but I wouldn't want to be such a person. I wont be that sort of person.

It's Happened Again..
How crazy is this?..Yesterday I received a memo saying I got a 15 cent raise. All was successful on my 6 month review...Then today after lunch I get the sack. I'm told that I received too many scripting alerts in a short span of time. What an utter crock of s^^t. The first scripting alert I knew of was brought to my attention last Saturday during a weekly coaching. It was more or less stated that I skipped one step and wasn't a big deal. Basically a slap on the wrist. The other 3 god only knows where they came from. No warning. No discussion about the problem. Just pack and leave.
I really thought more of my boss. I know they are all sh^ting themselves up there. Everyone is afraid of losing their jobs but not to back your employee up and say..Hey, We haven't discussed this in detail...to the powers that be.. is totally unacceptable.
Just a word for people out there. When you phone in for help with electronics..be it a service call or a replacement. That claim counts against the agent you are speaking with and leads to termination. Please take the time to try to fix the problem over the phone and don't give that agent a hard time.
I can honestly say I did the best job I could. I tried to be fair and to treat people with respect and do what was right. It got me nowhere.
Now, I have no idea what I will do. Jobs are far and few between here. I haven't the courage to tell my mother. This will break her heart. I'm at a loss.
I am so thankful for my wonderful twitter friends. They have all been so supportive.
The world is a cruel cruel place and I've got a feeling its about to become a terrible place for me.
Keep me in your thoughts
