The New Waves, Surging In, and Rolling Out.
Local Community is in an uproar over repeated referendum vote, and I fall into a surprisingly compatible new stream.
When I had just graduated from Pratt, My friend Suzanne was going to many interviews looking for a job in textiles.
I stayed home and worked on my portfolio until one day I was in the mood to look for a job.
I took the subway to the textile district, went into a Chock Full of Nuts and ordered a cup of coffee. A man sitting next to me asked what I was doing and I said I am looking for a job as a colorist.
He told me that his friend was hiring at this address. I went to the address and got the job.
My friend Suzanne said, I don’t get it, I’ve been going out every day looking for a job and you go out once and get a job.
I said, The way I see it, I only need one job so I only have to go out looking for a job once. Simple mathematics.
