Now that classes for me have officially ended as of yesterday, I can begin whittling away my free time in the next few weeks. I’ve got plans to redo my office and clean it top-to-bottom and get rid of some of the crap that’s accumulated in the last year. I can’t wait to get to this undertaking as it’s severely affecting my allergies along with my ability to work in my own space. Both of which are entirely my own fault. Maybe I should also hang some pictures that I’ve taken.

Along with pictures, I got a few new lenses recently that are from the mid 1960s and are pre-AI so they’re not working just right on my D90. I’ve got to get them sent off to be fixed up and I can tool around with them. One of the lenses, a Nikkor-s 35mm f/2.8, is fun to shoot with and I think it will prove interesting to use in a photo shoot — we’re trying to plan one or two for the remainder of the month. There’s a portraiture shoot/call this weekend but I’m not sure if we’re going to go; we also lack most of the equipment really needed to shoot portraits. Speedlights alone will not be enough lighting I think.

I really think it’s time for an employment change. I’m growing more fond of staying outside rather than sitting inside, working all day at a computer. I could be doing so many other things rather than slaving around, fixing email and hacked accounts. Plus, it’s not like I’m actually going anywhere at my current company and I’m certainly not moving to their shit hole office to get a raise or job advancement I may already be due since they simply dislike remote employees. Of course, the things I could be doing as a job don’t sound very financially feasible to my girlfriend, which stinks because they’re a lot more fun.

I’ve got to go find something temporarily fun to do, I can’t stare at this screen any more.
