Occupation: Professional Bummer [In Transition]
You didn't see that wrongly.... This professional bummer might just be on her way to a better career! What that career will be though, still remains to be seen.
In the previous two days, (meaning yesterday and yesterday's yesterday) she has been actually doing some work!
On yesterday's yesterday, she did cataloging of rejected slides. It was boring, mundane and it had to be done... She was actually doing someone else's job... (That someone else came into office late...)
Then yesterday, she helped to clear out the store room in publications. It was dusty! She couldn't stop sneezing, and her nose wouldn't stop running... (yeah... the nose is pretty atheletic... quite unlike the owner...) But all that did not stop her from helping to sort out all the posters and roll them up neatly and label each roll so that everyone would know what posters they were. In fact, she helped out until Atiq stopped the clearing up for the day... He stopped it before lunch...
And you know what? They didn't continue it today either! Cos Atiq said it's thursday. (Believe me, I asked him what that had to do with anything. I guess it's just the day-before-off-day syndrome) He also said it takes a lot of energy to clear out the storeroom and he didn't have the energy today. They're not that much on efficiency when it comes to these mundane tasks...
Ok... So the bummer is still a bummer... What's with the transition?
Well, here's the thing... Yesterday, Abir came to tell me about this month long "photojournalism" workshop which is going to take place here. There will be students from Pathshala, and students from Norway, and perhaps (if the big boss allows) Jessica and I could take part in it! I jumped at the offer! Jess & I both agreed that we are going to go for it!
Also, the big boss is coming back tonight, and when we get to see him, we'd probably be able to talk to him about the workshop and about the departments that we are interested in helping out in. Like Audio visual, Studio, & Publication. No library. Jess has been miserable in there all this time! We might probably be able to start doing real stuff with the different departments... Not that we haven't... Just more stuff...
And this part is the icing on the cake!
Reza came in today and told me that they took on a new project! It's a publication/ brochure about the local handicrafts... Shooting starts on Sunday, and we get to help out through the whole process! From the phototaking, to the layout, to the printing.. Everything! I was so excited that I jumped at the opportunity! Now, Jess & I are gonna get to do some REAL work!!
Say goodbye to the professional bummer! (Ok... Maybe after friday... It's my offday after all!)
