New Job! or Hectic Life for a While
New Job! Hey ya'll,
I have a new job. Which will be a second job for a while. A second job that takes precedence over the first job. I am now a Film Production Coordinator at Manitoba Film & Sound. Essentially I, along with another person, get to handle all the things that make making a movie so good in Manitoba. We get to read scripts and recommend locations, liaison with people in L.A. and tell them how awesome it is to shoot here (and what a good deal it is as well). There is also a handful of other administrative positions that aren't nearly as interesting, like database entering, etc. The only downside that I can conceivably see to this whole thing is that it's a "term" position until March, when both parties will decide if they want to stay in the relationship. That, to me, is a fancy way of saying probationary period that all jobs have. I don't foresee anything going wrong though.
The best part of the whole thing is that this is a job, providing steady hours, in a field that is related to what I took in school. I will actually be employed to my education. Now I can say that I do something cool, rather than talk about how I load buses. Not that I'm disparaging my current job, because it pays the bills and has been good to me, but it's time to move upward. I can't be doing manual labour my whole life. The only challenge over the next little while is going to be trying to balance the two places. Well, really only for a few weeks at Christmas, were things get hectic at the 'hound. The rest of the time I should be able to manage just fine. It's really only tomorrow and Friday that will suck, as I have to go straight to the depot from MF&S. Friday I'm also going to try to get a Ps3 as well. Not for me... for an investment in the future, as in someone else paying me more for it.
The movie is nearly done! I just need a few sound effects (eye gouge, heart punch, eye pop, squishy beating) and then BAMMO! Screening time, here we come!
