quinn222 at 06:24am on 20/08/2009I've been feeling exhausted and overwhelmed lately and one of the things overwhelming me was my flsit. I haven't defriended anyone but I have stopped watching a lot of comms. It's helping already.
We are so far past deadline with the magazine I do work for that's it's nuts. It's hard to describe exactly what I do (and what we do) without saying too much but we are in (in one form or another), TV, Print, Radio and Broadway. I am mostly in TV with a fair chunk of time (more and more) going to print, without time taken away from TV. The print side likes to use me for photography of course but also for graphic design as often as I can squeeze it in. Sometimes they forget I have a whole other department that's pretty demanding and which I am in charge of, it's not like I can slack off. Oh and of course since we are behind on this issue we are automatically behind on the next one.
So not complaining but feeling as though my LJ participation is probably nearly invisible. I'm here though, forgive me if I don't comment, sometimes just formulating a thought feels like too much work. I'm doing worse on Facebook though. I really need to update there before people feel like they need to send out search parties.
So lets see:
Personal photography - I've taken a few things but nothing that makes me really happy. I have a subject I tried to catch the other day but it came out badly. Have to try again. Only trouble is it is attached to another person's body. Timing is everything. Good thing he's patient.
Work photography - going well there but we had a shoot months ago that another photog totally fucked up and I am campaigning hard for a re-shoot. Also ran into the art director for another company that produced this really NOT AT ALL GOOD stuff at a social occasion and without thinking pretty much said, "What the fuck were you thinking with that crap?" um. opps? Thank God it turned out it was done before she came on board.
Family - OMG. They are making me crazy.
Friends: Love and adore them. One is making me very happy as she seems to have found the man of her dreams and HE ROCKS and makes her happy. Unlike the last jerk who had his best friend break up with her for him via e-mail.
We are going to start voting on our first book choice today in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandombookgroup, come on over and join in if you like to read! Still a week and a half to make a suggestion for our October book (theme is Mystery).
Speaking of reading I'm falling behind there. I've gotten to where I keep a file of fanfic I want to read and just paste everything in there and copy it to my Kindle for reading later. If later ever rolls around. I actually read at a red light the other day. I'm grabbing time where I find it.
Oh and one more thing. Hair. Need to do something with that. I have dark, straight hair that is long. Very long. Down to my ass actually. It's making me crazy but I have no idea what I want to do with it, if anything. I'm afraid it's just making me crazy because it's August and hot. Ideas?
OK, off again. I'm trying to leave for work early these days because I pass a spot where I want to take a photograph but thus far the combination of subject the way I want it and safe to stop the car and get out have not aligned.
It really is possible that I lost my mind a while back and just haven't noticed yet. You'd all tell me right?

Quinn, have you asked authors' permission before uploading their work to your Kindle?
(no subject)
I don't ask permission for kindle reading. I've always saved fics to read later on my hard drive or handhelds. It's not as though I was distributing them to anyone else. I don't care if people save mine for later reading either as long as they don't share them around. I know quite a few people put them into powerpoint presentations so they read them as one long file, which seems like a good idea to me.

Your work sounds really busy (been there, done that) unfortunately at the moment I have too much time so I don't get anything done at all (except helping the occasional person out with fics!).
I'm looking for a new job and am currently being hampered by the fact that I suffered a knee injury almost two weeks ago now. I have some tears in the ligaments and just have to wait and see if it will heal before seeing if surgery is needed. In the meantime, I limp around my house and try not to abuse my knee too much.
I'm like you with Facebook -- my friends have taken to making cute statements when I finally post, like "Oh, so you're not dead." Ha-ha. I skim LJ and am considering deleting a bunch of junk I don't read much anymore. Most of my free time lately has been taken up by following the idols tour (Adam Lambert, ahem) and watching too many videos of said performer's set. As a musician (singer/performer), it's fascinating to watch the evolution of a talented and creative person's performances over time.
You haven't lost your mind, but if you need an extra, mine is probably mostly available at the moment ;-)

This is pretty much me. Actually it is me. He is fascinating to watch because he is just so freakishly talented. Thank God he also seems pretty level headed and with a good support system or this could be a disaster waiting to happen.
His ability to think quickly and control a situation is fantastic. After he got hit in that show in Ontario he was pissed and it came out in his performance (amazingly well in fact, WLL is well suited to being sung while [pissed off!) First chance he got though he gave that charming little 'please don't throw things at me' talk and diffused the situation. I was impressed by that. He reacted, worked it into his performance, and then got things back on track all in just a couple of minutes.

Hope you get this issue done, and the next, and then get back on schedule!

It went to press today! Yeah!

Good luck with the next!
God, I miss publishing some days. It was certainly different from what I'm doing now: working for my brother, the CPA, doing bookkeeping for clients and some real basic tax return work. Yippee.

Sounds like you're pretty busy, but doing well. Your job sounds perfect for you!
