Thefts

Okay, so I just had one of the oddest weeks of my life, regarding a class.

I had my backpack stolen from work on Sunday, which contained all the DV tapes, FCP files, and media that we had shot and produced for our project so far, along with all the notes, contacts, treatments, and outlines for the different aspects of our project. Needless to say, I was awfully pissed. But, in the heart of TCOM and production work mantra, we all have to 'expect the unexpected.' I really pretty much failed on that front, since I had all of my media and backpack in one place. I'll take this experience with me in the future, but thankfully, I just received the backpack back tonight. The thief brought it back in. Although they stole my credit cards, jacket, cologne, and a 40 of Red Stripe I had bought @ work, at least I got the notes, books, tapes, and hard drive back.

Anyway, on to the projects. Time is quickly disappearing, and we are not all up to speed yet. I know working in the production field isnt like being in a class project. I wish I had a budget, some good contacts for actors, and some people to work with that werent extended in 18 different directions all at once. I can't wait until I graduate and can start relying on a 8am-6pm type of job that affords me true, schedulable time off. On that note, I really am looking forward to spring break, and spending a few days down in sunny Florida with good friends, and the ocean.

Hope all the other projects are going well too. I had a chance to work with the 'success stories' team this week, and their material looked really, really good.

Oh, and a last note that I wanted to share with the group.

- I really think we need to have a lead communication contact between the 4 seperate TCOM groups and Mrs. Dollison/Mrs. Jerub. I have spoken with Mary many times, and she always seems awry that there are so many individuals trying to contact her. I beleive Mr. Pollard wants to set this up, also. Something to think about.
