It's been almost a week since I worked last. The agency still calls me every day though. I wonder if they're getting annoyed by my lack of availability yet. Hope not. The timing of all of this has been quite convenient though, I have to admit. I'm babysitting my Grandma again. This time until Sunday. So today I woke up around 9:30, and headed over to my apartment for the standard 8 hour work day. I will do something similar tomorrow so that it looks like I do work sometimes.
I read, and am now watching the TV series of The Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I'm really enjoying it. I saw an ad for the military one time saying, "When was the last time they made a movie about your career?" This is it for me. I feel like I can relate to Hannah/Belle so many ways. There are so many situations that she is in that I have been in. So many raises eyebrows. So many looks to the camera and the words "seriously?" escape your mouth. I don't really know how to explain how much this series means to me. Because Hannah is not crazy, or pimped out, or does drugs, as often portrayed on TV. She has her head on straight, and loves her job. I feel like I finally have a co-worker. Someone who I can talk about the clients to, someone who gets it like I do. Yes I know how delusional that sounds, but even the co-workers that I meet have a man-hating/"it wasn't that bad" mentality. This isn't a complaint, or a poor me rant at all, but I really do feel alone in this. And that's ok. I really is. But it's really nice that someone has acknowledged that I'm not the only one with this perspective. I knew they were out there somewhere.
Have to say that I love that show too. I think the show does an excellent job of showing the dichotomy that exists in the Belle/Hannah character. I've seen all of season 2 and none of season 1. The show makes me think that there are truly two sides to escorting. One is fueled by pain and addiction, the other side is fueled by a natural highly sexual desire and a want to take care of oneself independent of anyone else. That's what I think anyway. The show also makes me feel like women can be super classy AND enjoy a good roll in the hay!!
