My Day Job is Awesome

Photography is not my full time job. By day I work as a mild mannered web designer for Nu Skin. I have been there for almost 10 years now – and it helps me afford my photography habit. And the company has been a great place to work.

Last night we had our company party. We had a delicious sit down dinner, we all received an iPod shuffle with the company logo with speakers, we received a $100 gift card to Costco, and a very generous Christmas bonus (two weeks pay). And especially in this time of economy stress and recession it is really nice to have a company that can afford to take care of the workers.

Nu Skin gave every employee an iPod Shuffle and a Christmas bonus

The next morning the whole company went shopping at Costco and I was torn – I had two things that I wanted to buy. One is Quickbooks 2010 for Mac – something I really need. And the other was a Flip Mino Ultra HD video camera – something I really want. There were some other things but those were the two I narrowed it down to – so I bought both. Although I bought the Flip Mino on amazon.com because it was cheaper.

I need Quickbooks so I can keep track of photography income and expenses. I want the Flip Mino so I can video blog on occasion. I think video blogging here will help introduce me to people who visit the blog. What do you think? Do you want to see the occasional video?
