OK... almost a week of daily blogging... how am I doing? Am I boring you? Have I ticked any of you off? Sorry... not trying to upset anyone if I did. I was told my trying to be 'funny' can in text appear offensive. So I apologize if I have offended anyone.
Well... Zander's days of goalie are over... unless there happens to be openings toward the end of the season. He partly liked it, but is beating himself up a bit for "letting too many goals in" but for his 1st time he did pretty well... except the time I took out the camera & was photographing him & he was paying attention to ME! Oops! Yeah, my hubby told me to put the camera down!
Let's see... a tad bit more about me... When I began my own photography studio, I was working full time as a CNA doing private care for a family. I took care of their mom who had Alzheimer's. I took extensive Alzheimer's classes & truly enjoyed my job. She became like another Grandma to me. When she died in 2006, it was VERY hard on me after working with her for close to 10 years. Hence the reason I did not go back into that line of work. It was too hard to not only lose a loved one, but then I lost my job all at the same time. When she passed away, her family gave me some severance pay (that I was not expecting, and was so very much needed & appreciated) that is when I opened my studio in Buffalo. With the economy, my husband lost his job that same summer as I did, so we both were searching for jobs. I had my photography, but it slows so much in the winter that I just liked having a regular paycheck. That way all photo money made, just goes right back into getting new photo stuff. I helped out at my mom's daycare for a while before finding my day job I work now. I work as the Party, Wedding & Event manager at Klatt Just Ask Rental. So still sort-of in the wedding field. My boss then had me take classes to become a "certified" Wedding & Event Planner/Professional (as it is called on my certificate) So I have a little bit more know-how than JUST being a photographer + I can give a discount to my brides for any wedding rentals too! Just a little extra "perk" for my customers.
My job is fun. I work with a great group of people who in a sense are like my second family. For the most part get along with my boss. I just tell it to her straight up & she sometimes does not like me doing that. Some of my fellow co-workers who are afraid to ask for a raise... I go to her FOR them. I am just the "big mouth" at work. Totally none of my beeswax. Oh well. The guys I work with humm... they are like working with two pesky brothers. I feel I could tell them anything in the world... yet they find a mouse on a sticky trap... they will A- chase me with it knowing my ultimate hatred for mice.... or B- if I am NOT there, they send me photos of the icky mouse to my phone! Then giggle at me first thing they see me next. We all eat lunch together... and when someone ACTUALLY brings food from home... they are no fun, unless they bring enuf for all. If we were smart, we'd all do potluck with left overs from home.. but we are not. Our manager is obsessed with TACO JOHN'S. Literally for a while there we wondered if he was gonna turn into a taco himself. When it is nice out, we window-paint each other's vehicles. Our ultimate goal is to always get the manager's truck so he does not notice until he HAS to be someplace... but he'd find time to run thru a carwash I'm sure. LOL. We constantly pull pranks on each other, so you never know what to expect. If I have sick kids... it is a job where they "get" that, and I do not have to worry about my job because I chose to be a decent Mother & stay home with them. So all in all it has its ups & downs, but would not trade it for a minute. (anyone have any good prank ideas... manager has a birthday coming up we are all conspiring about... let me know!)
