Drama...my (former) major and my life. Been an interesting last couple of days. Had a pretty frustrating day at work Friday. All in all I really do like my job and love my coworkers, but I'm really not getting enough financial or moral compensation for the amount of effort I put in.
Oh. And why is it that all the creepy guys at that place assume because I'm a young woman that I must want them? I got hit on waaaaaaaaaay too many times tonight, to the point I had to tell one of them off. I should not have to come to work and worry about some greasy dude old enough to be my dad making veiled references about me coming over later. I remember my mom telling me when she was my age and working she used to wear a wedding ring so that the guys at her workplace would leave her alone. I thought about doing that, then realized, no way in hell. I should not have to do that. If anyone gives me anymore shit, he's going down. I'm tired of it. I'm also tired of everyone assuming that because I'm a girl I need help putting up a cradle screen. If I need help I'll ask.
Whew, ok. But the day was not lost; last night Jacob had a show, and it was wonderful! There were a lot of people there. The band played a great show and I got some pretty good pics finally. I refocused their lights a bit; it looks good, but I think I may try a different color blue next time. Jeff says they'll be getting a bigger rig later, so maybe I can help with that. That'd be really cool. So yeah, great show - me and Jacob have talked a bit about putting together promo packs to send out to some other venues in the area. I think it'd rock to travel around a bit. So that's fun. And I'll feel like a real manager, lol!
Got an email from Lisa today - my "boss" with the painting business. It looks like she's back from Utah for a bit, so maybe I'll get a few jobs soon. I told her I was looking for some overhire work now. It's always really fun to work with her, especially since she's always been a source of support for me as a strong woman, especially when I was in high school. You know, I've been half-way tempted here of late to start a website featuring successful women in the technical/support site of the entertainment industry. I know so many that have been really inspiring. I hope that when I start working as a Girl Scout leader that I'll at least be able to show others what can be accomplished.
