Day 395 of 365 More.
So today I made the decision to accept an offer from what I was calling company #2. I was holding out a bit for company #1 to see what their offer was, but they still weren’t ready to make me one yet, and I like company #2 better anyway, so it would have been a money thing that would have deterred me, and if I’ve learned anything throughout my professional life, its that money is NOT the most important thing on a job.
Anyway, I might do some contracting for company #1 at some point. Or I might never hear from them again.
At any case, now I just sit back and hope I made the right decision.
I start tomorrow morning. My life moves fast.
*sends good karma to Chris*
@Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan: thanks. How’s being a "Real Photographer™" going?
Whoa! Really? Awesome!
@ambrosialove: yep, really. Let’s see if I last the week. I mean, it is right next to a bus stop… Danger abounds!!!
HAHA it goes.
that’s great. congrats. I hope it’s everything you want it to be.
@Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan: Yeah, taking hot girls to the beach is easy. You’re at the rough part now… days upon days of photo editing. But its still fun, isn’t it?
@dayzoid: me too… thanks.
Mine are crossed for you too!
I had a second shoot that day. I don’t even feel like touching those right now.
@Travelinjim: thanks. I appreciate it.
@Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan: tell me about it. I still haven’t finished with that waterfall shoot. And I have a second shoot with Rachael and her mom to go through. I feel so bad being this far behind.
Congratulations, Mav!
I wish you the very best of luck with the new job!
Dude! Fingers crossed here too, but luck is only a part of it. The rest you’ve had long since!!
Word, dawg!
YAY!
@sadandbeautiful (Sarah): thanks.
@phlewght: that’s what i’m hoping. On the other hand I just feel so out of practice at going to a regular job.
@MegaBee: yup yup.
@pkathleen: thanks.
What? Are you trying to take my record from me? I lasted only 2 weeks without bitterness! 🙂 I think you’ll last much, much longer. This job could actually mean something to you. Let’s touch base tomorrow after work. Congrats!
yay! congratulations 🙂 I’m glad you finally found a light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

Well I am happy for you, I know how long you have been searching for a job. Good luck tomorrow. So does this mean I have to find another Clyde??? 😛
Woo Hoo!! That’s excellent! I’m so excited for you….and you’re right….the money is often the least important factor in keeping one happy at a job. Sure, it’s enticing…but sometimes that’s all it is….and the money won’t make you happy if you don’t like the job/company/colleagues… ya know.
So, awesome! I’m excited for you….let’s see how much harder it is for you now to do 365 as a non-bum ;-p
yay job! also, I think I might sign up to do 365 for next year when I go to china…
@lrayholly: well, I’m not bitter yet… but I am dead tired.
@metró: me too. Thanks.
@shannon_mills35: thank you. More money would be nice, but its nice to be working and its nice to not hate what I’m doing too.
@Cirkusprinsesse: well, it was today, but thanks.
@KatColorado: thanks. I’m happy about it too.
@PhotoKat: of course not! You say the word, toots, and I’m there.
@pi c’s: well, it is important, but its not the only thing. And yeah, the 365s will probably suffer a bit, but honestly, I haven’t been that inspired lately anyway. Maybe this will rejuvenate me.
@mothofspades:
thanks and yay! 365! Oh, and I’m gonna try to get the rest of your pics up soon. I put some others up already if you haven’t seen them.
in my drawing class we had to do a bunch of modified contour drawings of hands, and this really reminded me of it. one girl did the crossed fingers hand, and i love that hands can convey an idea or emotion. not many other parts of the body are as expressive, if any. great photo 🙂
@Painted Jezebel: yeah, drawing hands is one of my favorite things to do when I’m really bored. An a comic book artist I know once told me that "there’s no excuse to ever draw a bad hand. You have two of them for reference right there in front of you."
Life’s short.
Good to see your living it.
@Angus Blacksheep: I don’t know that that’s really living life. It’s something.
@Mav – I’m always a bit behind ;o)
@Cirkusprinsesse: that’s ok. I appreciate it in any case. 🙂
woohoo! holy hell I’ve been reading your 365 entries for 3 days now starting with day 1 year 1, it was starting to depress me LOL I knew you had a job just didn’t know when you got it till now. Is it too late to have a party? I know I’m months behind but hell… anytime is a good time for a party.
@~*Denise*~: thank you. Yeah, I definitely need a party. I should throw one.
