Photo Shoot

Today, I took part in a photo shoot for a photographer out in Marsh Barton. He takes "stock" photos for use by universities and businesses in their recruiting propoganda. In essence, said universities/businesses buy pictures from him, insert them in their recruitment materials, and *poof,* they have happy, smiling students/employees. This is particularly useful for anyone lacking happy (or for that matter, any) students/employees.

I was one of the models for a "student" session. It took about an hour and a half, and paid £8 per hour, which was pretty good, I thought, for basically just sitting there. Granted, it cost about £2.5o to get out to Marsh Barton, but that's still a pretty good profit margin. It's not like I was going to be doing anything else that paid anything during those ninety minutes (for anyone who was trying to compute economic costs).

In other employment news, Amanda will be starting next week as a Bear Builder at Build-A-Bear Workshop in Exeter (located on the High Street for your shopping convenience), and I will (pending background check) be starting at EDF Energy as a customer service rep later this week. It will be nice to have some cash flowing in rather than out, for a change!
