Holy Crap, it's October!

Wow, I haven't written a journal entry since late July. What was I doing all this time? Oh yeah, looking for a job! 
Last week was very hectic for me with three interviews for jobs. The first job was digital print operator, which they didn't call me back on. The second interview was for a data entry clerk, which I got on the spot at the interview. You have no idea how elated I was to be given a job afterthe interview. I've been looking for a stable job, that wasn't freelance (even though it was fun it was very sporadic pay and one customer was an uppity arse) since I left college. Freelance was the only thing that was making me money at the time, but it slowly wore me down. Although I had reliable customers, one of them (the uppity arse) always criticized my work and will go out of his way so that he would make me miserable to work for him! Even though he was one of my main customers, I had to break ties with him. It wasn't worth working for him if he had a habit of making me want to kick his face in.
However, back to the data entry clerk job, which was good to hear at first, but had a lot of downsides for me in the long run. A drive to work from my home was 44 minutes and the job was 8am to 4:30pm. I would have to wake up at 5:30am to take a shower, brush my teeth, have breakfast, make lunch and go for a long dash to work on a rural highway. These trips back and forth from work will not only make me spend twice a week for gas, but it would make me have to take my car for an oil change twice a month. TWICE! And those things aren't cheap!
So, in the wake of having to deal with a physically grueling job, I put all of my chips on the last job that was willing to interview me, a photography studio. It was a short drive away from my place and it wouldn't be taxing on my car and on my wallet. The lady who interviewed me was really nice and I put my all into giving her the best of me. Be the Eagle, not the Turtle, as they say! We got along really well and she really wanted to see my photos, but she asked me to email them to her. With that, I sent her some of my older photos and some cellphone pictures I took. I heard from her yesterday that she wants me to start work right away on Monday. I howled in joy and so did my Dad. He was hoping I got this job too, since he didn't like the other job I was offered.
Therefore, I will be working more often for now on and hopefully this job will help me get back into nature photography. I'll definitely post anything I take that's worth sharing. Any-who, cheers to new beginnings!
