Holy crazy month! I found out on May 4th that I got a promotion to replace the girl in the cube next to me who was quitting for a better job in a different field. On May 5th my parents got into town from Phoenix. On May 6th I ran the half marathon, and I spent the rest of the week on vacation from work to spend time with my parents. My foot still hurts from the run. It was a good visit but I missed valuable training time with my coworker before her last day. No one within the company applied for the position I'm vacating unfortunately. Now I'm doing my old job and trying to learn a new job. It's been pretty stressful. My boss and I were supposed to meet with a temp agency rep today to go over what we're looking for in my replacement but the guy got the meeting time confused so he never showed up. This sucks because it's going to put us farther behind on getting a replacement and getting them trained. On the upside I was able to move into the now empty cube so there is nothing to my back but a wall of windows. We joked at work today that now I have a corner office with a view. It's not much of a view, just a road mostly, but damn it it's better than where I was.

I've been selected to do a very hush hush photo shoot for a local photographer and shooting starts on June 2nd. If he gets paid the cast gets paid. I'm really hoping he gets paid! He wrote a novel and is doing the cover shots and if I'm understanding right wants to use the photos as a sort of graphic novel and make a calendar. It should be fun. I've met one of the other models already and she's awesome.

Last weekend I shot a set at the studio owned by the photographer mentioned above. We got some pretty sweet pics!













We also reshot my Green Summer set. I'm taking votes on if we should use the re-shot set to resubmit. Here's a teaser:
