last dance...last dance...
well my time here in the booming and glamorous construction industry is nearing an end. t-8 hrs! no longer will i get to say that i work in construction and enjoy the sympathetic yet trying not to look judgemental reactions ive grown to love. i wont get to come to a trailer and inhale dust for 9 hrs while i sit at my desk and watch hours of online tv shows, shop online, and check my email like a champ.
so i know the question you're all wondering right now but are afraid to ask (maybe b/c i requested that you didn't) is the inevitable, "what are you going to do now?" so here's my answer. i'm gonna take it easy. not like ive had such a strenuous job and need a break, but luckily i've known that my job was coming to a close for a while so in a way, i have been able to prepare for it. financially i mean. so yeah, i'll be ok for a couple of months if i weren't going to make a cent anywhere else...
however, i might just be able to make a cent or two somewhere else. yes, this is the job opp i teased at in my previous post. i'm currently in the process of getting onboard with a company that takes virtual tours for real estate properties. if you've ever searched for a house or something and been able to view 360 panoramas of rooms, that's a virtual tour. it also includes regular still photos too. i'm going thru the training right now and learning all the details of it. what's great is that it's all contract work - you're your own boss, you set your own prices, you work when you want to, etc. and, the demand is never-ending b/c people are always selling properties ya know? and you get out of it what you put into it so the fact that im unemployed after today actually works out quite perfectly.
and shooting real estate is photography so that's appealing although not the main reason for doing it. my interest in shooting living rooms isn't quite on the same level as taking pics of people however, the flexibility of the job will allow me to devote more time to "the real stuff."
all to say, i'm pretty excited. i might be starting as early as next week so i'll let you know how it goes. i might decide i'm not a huge fan and ditch the venture all together. but you never know till you try, right? in the meantime, you can still hire me for other stuff - i finally got some business cards yesterday so i officially feel legit now ;)
