Work Update...

Okay, so I've been working for this company that specializes in audio/video/lighting production services for the last 9 months or so...Those of you whom I hang out already know this, but for those who don't, I can't stand working there. It's crazy because I love the gear, I don't mind the people most of the time, but I love the gear! However, for the amount and type of work I do, I don't get paid very much and really...seriously...my boss is just a cold, stone-hearted, greedy man. He has no care or concern for those he walks over to get what he wants.

I'm sure some of you have heard me say that the man is killing me...well, he has been. He's a chimney; smoking 4 packs a day in a small little office causing me to smoke 6 and a half to 7 packs (I don't get a filter) a day. Not to mention the added stress from him voicing his disappointment in me because I didn't know what 8 khz sounds like. In short, not a very healthy place to be.

BUT THERE IS LIGHT ON THE HORIZON!!!

I got a call today from a company with an offer of employment! They'll pay me more, treat me like a professional, provide a nice benefits package AND retirement!!! All to do the same thing that I'm doing now, just at a really cool location. It sounds kinda weird that I'm excited about these things, but it's like getting the best of both worlds: I love what I do AND I make decent money!!! It's been my experience that you get one or the other.

Anyway, so tomorrow I get to give my notice and I couldn't be happier!!!
