I think it went pretty well as far as first weeks go. I do think I need a break from it, at least one day, so I didn&#8217;t post anything on Saturday. I also feel like Sunday should be more time to unwind.<\/p>\n<p>But I can&#8217;t just abandon the blog for two whole days.<\/p>\n<p>So why not, on Sunday, reflect a bit on how the previous week went? Things I would have liked to do, but didn&#8217;t get around to. Things I still have plans to do. Ideas for the coming week. Stuff like that. But I still want to relax. Case in point, I&#8217;m writing this from my bathtub.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-142441.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-142441-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Posting in the bathtub\" title=\"Postin&#039; in the bathtub\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-142441-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-142441-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.edsoftfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120212-142441.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I&#039;ll try to keep this website worksafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest thing in my life last week had to have been my starting a new job. Things are somewhat fast-paced at the San Mateo DMV, but my lack of training and experience allows me to ignore that for the most part. Frankly, I don&#8217;t like not knowing what to do, so having to ask for help makes me uncomfortable. I can&#8217;t wait to start my training so that I&#8217;ll actually be useful to the branch. Until then, I guess I&#8217;ll have to be satisfied doing &#8216;easy&#8217; stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I must say, it&#8217;s nice to not need to ask permission to go on breaks, or to lunch, or to quit for the day. Live by the clock and don&#8217;t worry about anything else. You&#8217;re owed that time, and anything extra costs extra. Puts my mind as so much more ease than working freelance web design, or working for a friend on their iPhone application, or working on a film set 16 hours a day or longer.<\/p>\n<p>A recent episode of <em>Inside The Actors Studio<\/em> with George Clooney gave me hope that not every film set is the tense, dreary, exhausting mess that has been my experience in the industry, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m cut out to be on the bottom of that ladder. It&#8217;s easy for George to say, &#8216;I never want to work like that,&#8217; but that&#8217;s because he&#8217;s George Clooney. At the bottom, I had no right to make that statement, so here I am working at the DMV.<\/p>\n<p>I only hope that it&#8217;s not an irreversible decision.<\/p>\n<p>What else happened this week? I tried to go to a movie, and failed, but that&#8217;s okay, got to have a meal in Japantown instead.<\/p>\n<p>Did some more work for Tom yesterday. His app, fitness buddy, recently upgraded to 2.0 for the iPhone, as well as launched for android, and you can see a lot of my work in that app, photos and videos. For the amount of time I put into it, it&#8217;s only fair for me to plug it here. More on that process in the future, maybe.<\/p>\n<p>What did I not do this week? I didn&#8217;t really write anything long or serious, it was all train of thought blogging. I reviewed an album, but I&#8217;d like to do better than that in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t post a new radio show, or any real photography. I did post a video, but it was kind of shaky and haphazardly thrown together. I can do better.<\/p>\n<p>I have the house to myself, but instead of using that privacy to make a radio show I&#8217;m taking a bath. Not a total loss, but I can&#8217;t get into this habit.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the radio shows are probably this website&#8217;s best feature, and I haven&#8217;t even posted one yet! Not good. I&#8217;ll need to get on that.<\/p>\n<p>On a somewhat related note, worldOneradio.org went down this week due to an accounting error. The site was close to being completely redone, and now all that work is gone. Thankfully, I had nothing to do with these problems, but they&#8217;re going to be a pain to overcome.<\/p>\n<p>So, coming soon, a new radio show, a hopefully more thought out review, and some photography.<\/p>\n<p>See you tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it&#8217;s the end of the first week of this blog.
