Another long damn day yesterday. I had to work for the client out in the middle of nowhere followed by a dinner party. The dinner party would have been okay if it wasn't a work thing and I wasn't having to work while there. It was a company get together and my bosses some how wrangled me into taking pictures for our marketing materials. This meant they wanted nice portrait headshots. I had to lug out the lights, the backdrops, the tripod, etc for an hours worth of shooting. The upside? They wanted to pay me for my time which was nice. I felt weird taking money from them for this and instead I offered them a deal. I have been wanting a Kindle for a while but it's the kind of thing I can't justify buying for myself right now. I told them they could get me a Kindle with a $50 gift card to load the thing and we would call it even. In a few days, I should have a shiny new toy. Yay me.
But it still made for a long day and I still have about 4 or 5 hours of photoshop work I have now just committed to doing.
In other news, one of the guys on cast was featured in the paper yesterday for his work as an educator. Way to go! The fun part was all of us attacking the idiots who were making comments about him on the online version of the article. He has a mohawk and piercings (gee, what a shock) and all of these people started saying how someone like him shouldn't be teaching children. Man, you don't fuck with family. All day, everyone who knows this guy, myself included, posted retorts saying how great a guy he is and how his looks don't change his ability to teach. It made me feel good to see people standing up for one of our own. Talk about fitting in and being part of something bigger.
The dinner party was fun even with having to take pictures. But I got home and in bed later than I wanted. Today I have to do an install for a client again out in the middle of nowhere. But since I don't have to bring my laptop to this one, I think I am going to ride. Wish me luck as I may freeze to death...
