Event Planning
So amongst the many ideas I have right now regarding a career - Event Planning keeps coming up as something I'd really like to do. Most brides stress about working with vendors and negotiating etc. - I looove it. To be honest, I'd probably be a good "buyer" if I could locate the right job because I honestly love contacting vendors and putting things together to get a finished product. It's what I did at the music store for 5 years, what I did with my position in B&N and although it's not nearly quite the same, it is sort of what I do now. The main thing I hate about this job - too many hands on my shit. While some people don't like to be a supervisor/manager - I love it. But I love it in respects to vendors and being able to call shots, etc. We actually got asked multiple times if we had a wedding planner - nope, just us.
I also have ideas that I've mentioned before about a magazine and I'm already finding ways to get deeper into photography. I "think" I've got a good eye which, of course, only time and ComCon will tell ;-) I've picked up fairly quickly on settings I like to use to get the shot I have in mind and I'm already in the process of picking up a macro lens.
With work - hours don't bother me. I honestly don't mind working overtime - as long as I like/love what I'm doing. Right now? I don't stay because by the time the clock hits 5, I want to run out the door with everyone else. I could have picked up extra time on New Years day but to be honest, I'm ELATED to not be working the day after christmas or new years day for once in about 8 years. I'm not a slacker by any means - what I am, however, is determined to do what makes me happy. And with that, sleep makes me happy :-)
