First Week of Work

Finished up my first week of work today. I still have trouble with the Sun-Thur work week. Well the first one is down, and I’d have to say it went really well. I got a lot of paperwork and stuff done for employment. Got a little better idea of the equipment that they will be buying, and I am getting a little idea of what my job is going to be. I am really excited about working with the digital cinema. It is a different way of working that what I am used to. At WILL, I was working with others on Documentaries and studio based broadcast programs. The film style shooting is a little different than what I am used to, but I am learning what I can to help support the different systems.

Second, I am loving driving. That was the one thing that I was worried about, but it turns out to be my favorite part. I am doing well on the roundabouts and learning the city a little. There is a lot more to explore, but I have time to get it done. I think that I am just going to rest up this weekend though.

Just an update on my last post. I said that I bought soured milk, but actually it wasn’t milk at all. Turns out it was a yogurt drink that is popular over here. Looked like milk to me. I was a little more careful when I went back and made sure that I got milk.

Half Year

Well the year is half way over. It has been a busy one for me. Classes, writing, moving, working, and a new baby. Work projects are just finishing up. I feel like I finally have time to catch my breath.

After a quick break, I am going to have to get going on new projects for the rest of the year. Not sure if I want to stick with the freelance work or find a more permanent job. I like the flexibility of the freelance, but it seems like I am spending 3/4 of my time looking for the work and only 1/4 of the time doing it. I really enjoy the work part of it, but not so much the looking part. The money is certainly a lot better with the freelance work, so I am still not sure of what I want to do.
