When it rains it, well, it really rains

[spryng]

Buckets, even.

Funnily enough, last night the rain was coming down so hard it leaked through the top of our window, pouring like a waterfall. I love the storms here, but damn.

So in the last week I did an amazing product shoot, got called in for an interview at Target, got hired at Target, was contacted to do a headshot, did said headshot, was given the possibility of doing more headshots of his colleagues at their next big meeting (pending approval from their boss-boss, so who knows), got called up by Sears and offered a position at their studio, half turned it down because I'd already obliged myself to Target only to, after a full 24 hours of cogitating and feeling downright sick to my stomach, turn face and be unable to contact the manager (so the current record is: I have no idea but I doubt it), finished GW, and started SC, keeping up with my 2k a day goal to finish SC before November and NaNo.

Phew! So in short, I go almost three months without a job, without any callbacks, without a hint of employment, and in the last week I'm hired, I do two shoots, and I get offered the job I abso-bloody-lutely wanted right after accepting a so-so one. So yeah. Buckets.


On the non-employment front, Lady's sister organized a weekly photo project with a few of her friends and me. We're going down the alphabet, so "A" was due on Sunday. I did agave, as you can see above (full details on how the shot was done are over at flickr). I'm still on the fence for "B" - I'd really like to do bees, but they're hard to find here and I've been really bad at quick-moving macro.

I also stayed up until 1am on Monday finishing GW, which was an absolute blast. I love writing and I love that I'm getting back to it and sticking with it. I'm almost up to a consistent 2k a day, which would be fifty amazings if I can stick with that once I have employment again. At this rate, maybe I'll even fulfill my goal of sending out a query or two before the end of the year. I want a rejection letter for Christmas. Or hell, Epiphany. :D
