New Job, New Belt

I just finished the first week at my new job and so far so good! I'm now the director of photography / video editor at Proof. It's a small creative agency owned by a large PR firm. I like that it retains the small company feel, but draws on the resources of a larger organization.

I spent most of the week trying to get my head around all of the projects they have going on. I will have to learn quickly, because next week the main freelance editor will be gone for the political season and I will have to take over. On top of all the editing, we are going to San Diego for a shoot next Wednesday through Friday. Then in two weeks, we're going to Detroit for another shoot. I love shooting on location and I'm looking forward to all of the travel.

My other big news this week is that I got my blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu. I've been training for over a year now, but still don't feel ready to move past white belt. It's such a complex sport and there is still so much I have to learn. I'll probably never feel like I know enough. I guess that's a good thing and the reason I keep coming to class. Regardless, it feels good to be making progress and I can definitely tell I'm getting better. Emily has been taking kickboxing classes for a year as well, so if we ever got in a fight, it would at least be interesting to watch!
