All Quiet on the Home Front

Just thought I'd post a quick update on my current situation. I started a new job last week, and although its going pretty well it has been keeping me really busy, which could be part of the reason for the lack of posts. The company I'm at is called Bartle and Gibson, and its basically a big wholesale place for plumbing and electrical. Not exactly in my preferred area of interest, but film seems to be pretty hard to get into here without being part of the IATSE union and doesn't pay enough to get by. I enjoy likening a career in the film industry to an actors career - although it may be your area of interest or passion, for the most part you're going to need a day job to survive - you know, to pay for essential items like food. Of course in both careers the prospects look up once you start becoming either successful or really lucky, but until then it can be hard to get by.

Anyway this job pays quite nicely, and its a hell of a lot more easy going than any job I've had before. I've got my own big desk, and my own computer that luckily isn't restricted in anyway, so when its quiet I can do internet stuff. I like to think of it as my day job, even though I don't exactly have any other jobs.

I've also been a lot more active on deviantART, which is a fairly huge community. Its especially good for putting photos up and checking out what other people have done, even though I only have a point and shoot digital at the moment so can't quite exactly upload any professional grade pictures. Its something to keep me occupied however which is nice, since I can't exactly do a lot of film making related stuff at the moment.

To sum it up, here's a picture I took at the local park during a rather violent lightning storm. Not sure exactly about the weird imagery in the picture, the park must have been made on top of an ancient indian burial ground or something...
