This is what sick at work Rachel looks like. Yes I am shiny from sweat. I’ve felt like I’m in a sauna all day. I need to get home bad.
I am feeling better today, still sick but much better. I’m able to breathe without hacking up a ball of snot (too much info?).
So I have a freaking TON of RSL work to catch up on that I have been letting slack like crazy. And I am thinking of investing (here the word “investing” is meant to help me avoid thinking of dropping hundreds of $ as frivolous) ((also… is that how you spell frivolous???)) in an iPhone. I could update more on the go, at lunch/work breaks/driving/crashing/hospitaling/morgueing. You get the idea. And right now Verizon has yet to cap their DATA packages- which capping Data is bullshxt in my opinion- but AT&T already did it so everyone will follow. I do not have a lot of money but if I ever want to make video/media work my full time job I have GOT TO STOP SLACKING. And when I say I am slacking I mean I am working my other part time jobs or just too tired to think about RSL.
Side Note: “RSL” is my short way of saying http://www.rachelstarlive.com my website of sheer awesomeness that houses my awesome endeavors.
So yeah… I guess it would be an investment. I don’t want to keep juggling 3 (sometimes 4) part time jobs for the rest of my life nor do I want to get a crappy full time job that I hate cause I already know what I want to do. So time for Rachel to stop whining and jump on this stuff.
Last year after a graduated I did all these internships (none that led to a job) and I even moved to NYC for like a month (short move, I hated it). I was trying to get into my dream via other people. When things were going downhill I tried to tell myself I was “learning”, even though I wasn’t. I was getting no hands on technical skills what so ever, most of the stuff I already knew. If I want to get to my dream I have to get there on my own. This next short I’m shooting at the end of May is gonna be a hardcore shoot, to test me. This year I have got to get RSL off the ground or go for broke.
One thing I do want to say is that my first internship with “The Ace & TJ Show” out of Charlotte, NC on KISS 95.1 was awesome! http://www.acetj.com I did learn SO MUCH there and so many technical skills. I wish I could have interned with them longer but left to do another one. So big props to them and Mr. Yankee Pete who let me intern there, I am forever grateful for him taking a chance on me.
Yep… crappy new video… cause sick rachel makes terrible decisions
whiny sick rachel + camera = evil
…also it took me 30 minutes to get dressed… that is very sad when looking at what I ended up in. All my energy is gone. And we are not even going to attempt to put on my dorky ankle brace today.
