So, my new job is with Our365 portraits. They're the company that takes photos of babies in the hospital and they have an extension service where they take photos of 1 month-3 yr old kids at their home. After the photos are taken, I get them, make an appointment, do some editing and collaging, and go out to the house to show/sell them to the parents. It combines my three great loves: photos, babies, and people. It's commission-based pay, but I'm not stressed about it because baby pictures are something people frequently buy (especially if they've already had a photographer out to their home). It's pretty good money too, on top of being casual and fun (and not governed by a terrifying boss lady).
It's been good so far.
I'm packing for mardi gras today. We're leaving early tomorrow from Brian's house and leaving poor Twink in the airport parking lot. He's playing a gig at a grocery store for black history month this morning, which amuses me because no one in his band is black except for the rappers, which is pretty stereotypical.
Last night when I got home from work (at 9 pm, bleh), there were a bunch of people gathered in the kitchen and we all went out to our neighborhood bar around the corner to play shuffleboard and pool (and drink too much beer). I really really like these people that surround me.
Good people, good boy, good job, good family, good life.
