Like I Was Saying...
Everything I'm reading right now is telling me writing something like Skating the River is a dumb idea.
But it begs the question, am I writing Skating the River for others or me?
Yesterday I took one last trip to our makeshift offices to drop off the last of my stuff.
Two of the ladies I worked with came out and hugged me and said goodbye.
Besides the money and being a "no jobber," I'm happy to be out of my last job.
I want to post a company review on a particular site, but I'm not. Or maybe I will in time, just right now.
There are moments I have a pinch of anger, but then I remember giving it my best and trying to remain positive.
I tried to sell some of my camera gear after, not because I needed money, but a) to declutter my room and b) to put the money towards a new lens maybe. I had my eye on a 50mm lens before I got fired.
Then I came home and did the most unemployed thing I could since I was let go. I binged a few episodes of the Big Bang Theory.
When I got let go, I immediately began reorganizing my life and finding a new job mode.
Well, yesterday I took a couple of hours to just veg. Of course, I felt a little guilty after, but Big Bang Theory is pretty funny.
The thing is, I missed my hair appointment, and that cost me $45 bucks. My hair stylist charges the total price if you miss an appointment.
I get it because she could've filled that seat with another client, but charging the full price is quite a bit.
I did reschedule with her today, but man, ninety bucks for a haircut for being dumb, really smarts.
Other than that, the rest of the day was pretty tame regarding the job search or anything else.
I did clear out some stuff on my Mac, it's been running pretty slow for a while, and I think it's because I got too much on my hard drive.
So I got rid of a bunch of pictures, though I know I have the original.
I'm always torn about keeping old pictures, especially the ones I know suck. But that would be a hell of a project going through all my photographs and culling them down.
Maybe I will, and I don't know to save hard drive space.
Plus, as of right now, I don't have a good workflow in sourcing my pictures. I need to pick up the DAM book that Dan Milner recommended. If I want to do this professionally, I need a system.
Anyways, as I said, yesterday was pretty tame.
I am waiting for my resume to get beefed up. My former co-worker's wife is taking a gander at mine. His wife is a certified resume writer.
I'm waiting to see what she does and if it's good, start sending it out.
