.Gladiator Entry.
What a difference a desk makes, I'm actually getting stuff done. But lets go back to the beginning of this story before I tell you the end.
Since the last entry, I've had revelations on revolutions. I went to Best Buy to apply for a credit card and was promptly denied (not that being denied is a new experience for me) however, Nicole looked at laptops while there. When we got home she expressed her desire for a new laptop and within the hour we were back to Best Buy for Nicole to get a new laptop. Now I don't inherently hate all spoiled kids, but how on Earth could I not be jealous. I know if I was born into a different family I'd be some rockstar millionaire with limitless potential. But right now I'm shooting at being the garbageman from Dilbert.
However, while we were getting the laptop Nicole's dad could see how much I wanted the Canon Rebel T1i. I told him I was going to sell Brutus to help cover the cost of the camera. Note: I am selling Brutus to Darla, a close friend. I would not allow Brutus to go to anyone else, ever. He's my baby.
Well when Mike saw how short I was he offered me a deal. If I could come up with $100 a week he would pay for my camera. Now, this puts me in quite a financial situation, as my credit card is also due this month. A large sum by my standards as well, and being between jobs helps me none. However, I'm banking that with a real SLR in my hands I can get at least one real photography job. A long shot, but one I'm willing to bet on. And worst case scenario I'm short on my credit card and have like $100 in interest. Not bad for how much fake money I've been using for almost 6 months.
The other flaw in this plan for my camera is that Darla doesn't have the money right now. And she doesn't know for sure when she will have it or if she will need it to find a new place. And the waiting is killing me because everyday I'm on Canon's website to look at this camera and dpreview to read it's in depth deview and see the preview images. The wait is killing me.
Now, once home, I helped Nicole set up her new laptop with teeth gritted, but there was a silver lining for me in this story. Nicole is letting me use her old laptop so that I can get some work done. So I cleared off a desk down here and hooked the laptop to a monitor and all of my PC accesories and it's like I have a real PC for once.
Don't ask me what it is, but being at a desk makes me get work done faster. I really can't pinpoint what it is, but I feel much more motivated to work and that's a really good thing. So look forward to more LJ entries and pictures getting edited and sent out faster :]
