And I would just like at the end of the day of work, I would change into jeans and

And I would do stand up.

And I just never left until I got like a more stable job in a creative space.

And that's how I ended up as a writer's assistant for a kid's show.

Because that was the first job that I got that was longer than three weeks.

Because there were writing jobs that kind of came up that like I could maybe like I had at this point in stand up could have it.

But they were like two week rooms, three weeks.

I'm like, I'm not leaving.

My salaried, you know, $32,500 a year job, Canadian, so maybe $25,000 a year, for three weeks.

Like, I just can't do that.

But this one was, like, a year.

And I said, a year might be enough time for me to really, like— Pursue it.

Yeah.

Like, OK, a year.

And then I ended up being there three and a half years winning an Emmy for it.

And it was like my film school was unbelievable.

But I did wait a long time.

I said, you know, I wasn't able to take the opportunities as young as some of my counterparts.

Yeah, even my producer for my show in development with HBO, you know, they had me meet with a slew of producers.
