We were planning to move back to the United States, so I began learning about childcare programs for military families in the US. We lost so much money while trying to find an approved daycare center that we ended up living paycheck to paycheck for a year. Since we couldn't get approved for the 90-Day Looking-for-Work program, I applied to another childcare subsidy program for military families, the MCCYN+ program. Many military families need help with childcareI accepted my new job offer and was hired as a contractor for the Military Family Readiness System. Because I became an expert in this situation, I began advocating for other military families.

AdvertisementI didn't work in tech when I lived in the Bay Area, but I do nowIn the Bay Area, I worked in marketing and graphic design and did off-and-on work in café management and the brewing industry. The Bay Area didn't fit into his free-spirit mentality, and he also needed a change. In the Bay Area, there was no getting into a job like this "by accident" for me. Moving out of the Bay Area felt like someone turned all the heat off before I boiled to deathWhen I left the Bay Area, I received the type of inner peace I never thought possible. Even people who stayed there feel the same way, they no longer live in that Bay Area, either.

I moved to Los Angeles about five years ago from San Francisco, and I previously lived in New York City and Chicago.

In fact, I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, a red state surrounded, by very religious people — many Southern Baptist. Many of us, however, were desperate to move out for better job opportunities and to grow our careers. The more populous places, like the capital Little Rock, are seen as a lot more diverse. There are typically better job opportunities there too, but those opportunities were very limited for me. It worked out, though, because moving to San Diego proved more cost-effective than the Bay Area.

Additionally, I had just moved back to Ohio to live with my dad, so I was the new kid at school, with the name Taylor Swift.

For example, just this past weekend, I booked a dinner reservation for two under the name Taylor Swift.

When I went to my next shift at Olive Garden, I decided to give away free dessertIt was pretty easy to do. There were instances where managers would give away free desserts or bottles of wine to unsatisfied guests so it felt normal. I never told anyone I was giving away free desserts, and no one ever figured it out. It's pretty basic: look good, feel good.
