I'm no longer jobless! And doing very similar work.

Working for a small company, which I like. I've always felt uncomfortable having to interact with and get to know a lot of coworkers all at once. Working closely with two others who I actually like. I've known them both a little while now and I would actually consider them friends rather than coworkers. I'm already comfortable in the environment.

This is exciting and terrifying. This is possibly more like a career move than just another job.

On a more horrifying note. On my first day on the job I ended working out of the office on a clients property. I had brought my camera equipment in hopes to get started on a project at the office. I also ended up at the property for WAY longer than the hour or so I expected. And my camera got left in my mid 90s Honda (stupid easy to break into), and the car was unsupervised for hours and hours.

No damage to the car, but the camera bag was lifted. Close to $1200 gone.

Also more than half of that had been paid for and was owned by my girlfriend.

The camera and lenses were registered on Lenstag, so if someone else tries to register them I'll be informed. Or if images matching the camera's SN show up online it could get noticed.

The most likely thing to happen is they'll show up at a pawn shop in a bit.

So an exciting and also disappointing couple of weeks.
