Maybe what you need is to take that vacation in a national park. Nobody would blink at a man with a camera
OR you could hang a lot of stuff around your neck that looks like it's meant for professional photography - lens bags, etc. Then nobody will think you're creepy - they'll think you're on assignment.
Or you could have a decal made for your VW "Timmah's Photography - If it moves, we shoot it. (except horses.)"
@BrazenlyLiberal I'm just trying to figure out now where I can find a lot somewhere (for a public park or something) to park because let's be honest, a white vw rolling by your house with a camera would be a tad suspicious regardless of intent. At least if Im walking less likely to bring attention to myself. I gotta plan this lol. Being I won't have a job after Thurs I'm gonna take some time for myself to recharge. Haven't had a vacation in 11 years
11 years? Damn, you do need some time off!
@BrazenlyLiberal yeah I work retail. Started as a CSA moved up to photo dept (which I was a natural fit for me for obvious reasons!) then became manager of that department eventually becoming a shift manager (1 step below manager) . So when that happened and knowing how bright the coworkers are I never took off because I didn't want Armageddon when I came back
I get that. I used to have a boss who did NOT believe in teaching any of her employees everything she did. She wanted to make sure the company would be very happy to see her come back 😅
@BrazenlyLiberal that was the problem. I wasn't given time to reach . It was tim knows what he's doing. Just leave it for him
@BrazenlyLiberal thus the reason I'm leaving. Done being Cinderella. Worst part is it happened in 4 stores (same company ) I just have that aura about me I guess
Can I ask why?
@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal why I won't have a job after Thurs? That's a book. Everything fell on my shoulders, people that should be held accountable in the store aren't,company as a whole doesn't care about it's employees, call ins all the time and 80% of the time it's me who gets stuck. Everyone seems to get 2 days off in a row ...except me. But where I'm hoping to go (should know within 2 weeks) I'll have a set schedule, weekends off as well as summer. And it'll be better work/life balance
🤞Good luck, T! Sounds like making the move is right for you. Reporting every day to miserable job wears away a person even more than they realize.
Good adulting. Now how about your Inner Child?
@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal well that's gonna be fulfilled as well. I got so many projects I've been wanting to do my inner child is looking forward to it. Writing my first book, got a podcast in the works, YouTube channel and I'm going to get to do some travelling. Haven't done any since college. I'm actually thinking this summer of taking my bike down route 66. If I figured it out correctly should take me 5 weeks depending how many detours and how much riding time I wanna do
@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal yep. I've been wanting to do that for at least 8 years now. I think it would def be a trip to remember
@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal then I'm gonna go down to LA and visit the sunset strip where all my rock heroes got their start. Leaving where I am literally is the best thing that i could have done .
@LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal there's A LOT more but yeah between what I'm dealing with over there and burnt out. Yeah I think a change will be the best thing for me
@BrazenlyLiberal well I needed some glue 😂😂😂😂. But it's funny. Beautiful day out today and I'm just driving around looking stupid. Had my camera with me and I'm like maybe I'll just drive around. I got "lost" because I had no idea where I was/going and the elevation just kept getting higher 😂. Came across some farms and I'm not about to go on people property (but I wanted to if ya seen what I seen!) and came across this horse close to the fence. I'm like I gotta get it lol
