i got it!
so in my last post i briefly mentioned that i was applying for another position in the company. well, the position is an account executive. i would basically schedule schools, communicate between schools and photographers, set sales dates, be on the phone ALL the time, etc.. well, i got it! i think i sound more excited than i really am... and that's sad for me because i should be excited.. it's something different. i probably have to absorb it or something.
anyways... i'm getting super tired of my photography position. partly because it's not the photography i want to do in the long run. partly because it's making me soooo tired. another part is because i can't plan anything. it's also turned me away from mini road trips. ack! the good thing about this position is that i'll be working full time, none of this little money here and there bullshit, i get paid a little more (which is also the bad part. just a little more), i'll get full benefits, i'll get sick and vacation time, i won't have to travel as much (twice a year to minneapolis), and i'll know what hours i'm working. the down side? off the top of my head, i'll miss the schools i really like. i'll miss working with other photographers (but it's not like we did much of that). and i'll miss going through the pictures for competitions...aka no bonuses.
so yeah... i figure, after i've tried this a little and it doesn't work out with this company.. at least i'll have the experience. i think that's sort of why i applied. i already had my foot in the door :) in the next two weeks, i'll be transitioning from photographer to account executive. once my photography schedule ends, i'll be in the office full time... so no real break. the only thing i'm sorta sad about is missing the release of book 7. (DON'T SHAKE YOUR HEAD AT ME!! ^_^) i'll have to join the festivities in minneapolis. the good thing from that is, the meetings will be that week and NOT the week(end) we go camping.
anywho, wish me luck!
