I’ve Heard of Slam Poets

DaGoddess @ 08:08

…but spam poets? Uh, yeah. Cute little limerick in my Akisment spam file. I almost wanted to save it just because it was different and rather entertaining.

But that’s not really what this post is about. No. Nope. Noooo.

Guess whose backpack went smashing into the hard tiled floor in a bathroom last night? Guess whose camera and favorite lens were in the bottom section? Guess whose heart stopped beating until she could rip the bag open and check for damage? Guess who got lucky and 1) had taken out the other two more expensive lenses and 2) sustained no damage to either her camera or favorite lens? Guess who gave thanks to God immediately following inspection?

I shook for a good ten minutes after. I can NOT afford to be without camera or my favorite lens right now. I may…MAY have a chance at a pretty sweet gig coming up. I swear, one of my friends…every time he’s around, something really good happens. Everyone knows him. Everyone. So they always stop and talk to him when they see him, which means I get to meet new people all the time. Last night? A guy who has my dream job. And he’s looking for help. I showed him some of my work via my cell phone (I KNOW…I fought the phone for the longest damn time and now I have one that can go online and blah blah blah and it’s paying off. I did listen. Finally. And it’s paying off. I swear, I will never doubt your wisdom again, okay? I promise.) and he was very impressed and wants to see more. I have to call him today. I will, too. Gotta get my portfolio tidy, but that’s why I have a roommate who is good at those sorts of things, right?

I hope your Friday starts off nicely. I’m headed to bed and I’m sleeping with my fingers crossed.

  4. Sadly this is my three-day work weekend. But I have nothing better to do, and no money to do it with, so all is well.

    Amazing how so much can be at stake over a random clumsy moment. Thankful to hear that your camera equipment was undamaged and will be available when needed the most.

    Fingers and toes :cross: for you. And the rest of your family.

  5. May the weekend fly by, Dave!

    Yeah, clumsy moments…have had my share. My throat got dry and I started to sweat…and all ended well. Thank God!
