Hellloooo Monday. I'm feeling a bit of writers block today, as I can't update about my weekend yet because I'm waiting on a few more photos to be sent over from the boyfriend's daddio. We had a really fab weekend but you're just going to have to wait until this week to hear about it! I know, don't all cry at once.
So, the writers block was finally put to rest when I found myself on Kate's fabulous blog, reading her post to a link-up about what she actually does at work. It's kind of fun to see that I'm not the only one who is forced to sit my happy ass in an office chair for 8 hours a day, playing grown up. Emphasis on "playing".
Technically I have two jobs. Or, a job and a career, if you want to look at it that way. By day I am an assistant for a commercial real estate photographer, who also dabbles in professional office portraits (the really boring, serious, lawyer photos where they usually look angry). On most days I prefer to classify my job title as "Photoshop expert" because I'm usually being put to the test to digitally fix something that sounds near impossible. Last week I had to replace all of the windows on a glass building with new windows without glare. Equally as tedious as it sounds and I'm pretty sure I developed carpal tunnel in my right hand soon after.
I get to wear whatever I want to wear, hence the whole yoga pants thing... if you're new here... and I listen to a lot of Pandora radio. Usually ridiculous stations containing 90's pop hits.
This would be my desk. So clean and organized (we're really busy right now, shut it.). It's big and it's all mine. Ah, the perks of being the only employee.
I get to use a lot of Sharpies, which makes me really happy. Yes, I'm easily amused like that. Usually I'm in the office alone, my boss travels a lot and sends me images as he shoots so we can get them to clients fast enough to stress me out and force me to drink heavily by 5pm. But really, I like it here. I go about my day as I please, most days, and my boss treats me well.
When I'm not being a Photoshop queen for my boss I'm at home being a Photoshop wench for my own clients.
This is when I'm most happy... photographing peoples in good ol' L-O-V-E! Unless, of course, they're a pain in my ass (dammit!) and then I'm back to drinking heavily. And much earlier than 5 pm.
The rest of this job is pretty self explanatory, I believe. I'm not really one to blab about my photography business here on my little blog, it's just not my style. Or maybe I get enough of it from all of the other photographer bloggers on the web to get my fix. Yeah, probably the last one.
What do you do all day long at work? Go link-up with the bargain blonde!
