am in light-hearted mood given news flow that follows-up re Message 33888133

<<Gunning for patent law as back-stop to whatever else that she might end up doing by 'rolling' with it.>>

the coconut has been hunting for summer internship, and even as still a few weeks from onset of summer break, that which together with fall, winter, and spring breaks constitute 1/2 year out out every 12 months, she is on program to secure an ambitious and transparently supported (by the three counter-parties) program of 'rolling with it'

over the summer break early-May through late-August ...

(i) passed requisite test and got soft offer re remote gig, longterm (multi-summers) internship with a production company (producing movies, ~$250M budget per annum, ~ $1-1.5B revenue per annum), starting with vetting scripts / suggesting changes to same scripts, with eventual working w/ distribution companies on whatever, and bird-dogging directors on executions

(ii) passed requisite test and got soft offer re remote and in-situ gig internship w/ a hyper geewhiz name-brand director as PA to research locations for an in-progress ohwhoawee and importantly, funded, movie to see how one of these ventures are put together and executed

(iii) passed requisite initial test and got 2nd / final round, with soft understanding of high likelihood of final success (meaning do not leave us behind) re in-situ and remote gig, longterm (multi-summers and all breaks as please) anchor trainee for soft news programs for HK-based outfit

(iv) already set, 4-weeks writing program in exciting and still-rioting Paris, living and studying with like-minded students from different colleges, with tutors composed of name-brand writers and editors

(v) already set, zoom-gig / signed on four students who require tutoring and their parents shall collectively compensate the Coconut $13k over the course of 12-weeks of summer, thus paying for the writing course in Paris excluding airfare.

the Mrs is courageously trying to somehow jigsaw together a package where the coconut somehow spends a good portion of the time in Tuscany, zoom gig / remote work, (yes, I told the mrs that internet in Italy is not Asia-grade), or more realistic, as I favour, base in Koh Samui villa of friend. I truly favour subbing out go HK, where we have support, although Koh Samui host has call on army of helpers. Internet on Koh Samui is investment / institution grade, per fibre optics like in HK.

whichever way, am guessing the coconut might have a flawed idea about the job market.

But never mind, per 'roll with it'

Perhaps there is a career in entertainment law, as a back stop.

Following up to <<plan ... vision>>

and to Message 34268013 <<(i) passed requisite test and got soft offer re remote gig, longterm (multi-summers) internship with a production company (producing movies, ~$250M budget per annum, ~ $1-1.5B revenue per annum), starting with vetting scripts / suggesting changes to same scripts, with eventual working w/ distribution companies on whatever, and bird-dogging directors on executions

Coconut got hard offer for this particular internship. She gets to choose time period, and 3 days of whichever weeks. Remote work.

The Mrs and the coconut decided Italy generally, and Tuscany in particular too hot and crowded during the summer, and the desired Paris - Venice Orient Express not available due to demand.

So, looking like seaside ambiance in Istanbul after the writing course in Paris.

Am starting to wonder about the Coconut's vision :0)

The nut is assuredly rolling w/ it.

The Jack discussed with mama all about Istanbul. As mama had once spent a month in Turkey post-graduation, she wondered how Jack knew what he appears to know.

Answer, Jack watched ... twice, the entire series ... Netflix is good
