I got another internship. This one is with a small company that just started up which has a few cons and pros. Con being once again there is no money and pro being that it won't be very time consuming. Another pro is that it won't be doing bitch work. I'll be the go to video guy.

I have another interview tomorrow I don't know if it is paid(I'm applying to at least 20 job a day, it is hard to keep em straight) but it is to follow around a grammy nominated artist, Katia Cadet, while she finished her debut cd and it drops sometime this summer.

Also I made a new video, just shot around the neighborhood just to pass the time and ended up with this

if I wasn't leaving for New York in a few short months, I would be quitting my job. Unfortunately I love what I do and even like what the company stands for but watching my boss run off a lot of talent and generally run the place into the ground.

Well, SNCAT it has been good knowing you. if your on the board you should pull your head out and fire Les since he is ruining the place. I know he didn't come into a pretty situation but he sure isn't making it any better. 

I guess you might want to know where I work. SNCAT or Sierra Nevada Community Access Television is a PEG(public. education. government) channel. Yes we are the people at those city council meetings that are on TV. We also produce several programs for the local goverment agencies like the cities or reno, sparks and formerly Washoe county (see Les). What the really cool part is that we also have free public facilities. That means you can come in (we train you for a small fee) and use our video equipment to produce your show and we will air it. Really there isn't a catch. You make it we air it. You can also use your own equipment and we will air it too.

We also aren't afraid to have a little fun.

READY TO MOVE ON
I am growing more and more excited to move to NYC in january as each day passes. Nearly everyday there is one little annoyance that pops up that I know I won't have to deal with that person/thing in a few months. Most recently, it is my job. I am ready to walk away from that place. I've enjoyed the time I was there and truly do like what I do but don't like the place I work. It is run by a total moron and all he does is talk and blow smoke up peoples ass when really he has run the company into the ground to the point where everyone has been laid off or quit. I have worked there for over 2 years and normally we had 7+ staffmembers plus the management now we sit at 3. I just see the company as a sinking ship that I don't want to be on as long as the same person is driving the boat.

The guy has lost one of our three government clients and he trys to spin it like it is a good thing for us because "now we have more time to work on other projects." I say he can take his "other projects" (which don't pay by the way, some kind of introductory offer he cooks up) and do them himself while i do the projects we get paid for. If I have to pick up the peices after he has fucked up a project again I swear that I will finish it but at the begining with the opening credits I will explain exactly wat kind of a pile of shit the excutive director is.

I don't make the money I deserve. I know that everyone will say they are worth more but I am  skilled, have expirence in this industry and could make more working at Raley's bagging people's groceries. I have been there for 2 years and there isn't one thing that we do that I can't figure out on my own and I get a .50cent raise. What a slap in the face. I work with the city goverment client because they like me more the the rest of the staff. I teach our classes to the public and I still only make .50cents more than when I started 2 years ago. I'm thankful that I had this job as a training ground for me to use and develop some skills and learn new ones but that season has passed and Im ready to move on.
