Tampa is a huge porn market. A couple guys on my crew shoot it.

Apparently it\'s really not fun at all. Kind of gross.

Don\'t forget, Anal sex smells like roses when you are watching from home.

Hello you have seen his pics no way could he do porn. Specialy since his wife told me he has an extremly small penis.

Well, goodluck on the freelance thing or another job

But here in Europe it\'s still kind of tricky to just quit it.
I mean, I\'m at an internet company. Not big and understaffed
as well. I\'m more or less their only dude on design...

which isn\'t even my real expertise. But I\'m glad i have
fridays off so I have some more time for freelance portfolio of
3D art. When that reaches an impressive level I\'ll send out
lotsa jobapps.

I\'ve had the same job for about 7 years. I have received steady pay increases, merit awards, and every one in our group was just promoted. They just reclassified every one of our positions several steps upward. The most important parts of that change are an 8% increase, and a change to "exempt" status, so we can no longer be paid for overtime. The overtime rule is no change for me because I was never allowed to work overtime anyway. I used to just do it when I needed to, and just not report it.

The money will be nice, but the job has become a little boring after 7 years. I\'m considering a career change to an entirely different field.

Well I have had one single 3% raise in the past three seasons.

Yet, I\'ve reorganized the budget and saved the company over 450,000 dollars.

Now they are adding a second show and expect me to do it. I also purhased an edit suite and he expects me to edit the shows too. Whatever. They are about to lose their asses.

Hey Core, if you don\'t mind me asking, what is it exactly that you do?

« **Reply #25 on:** October 10, 2004, 05:23:06 PM »

Vid: How did you arrive on the $1,600 per show figure? I guess whatever you decided on should be MORE than what you were earning before. As an independent contractor you would be responsible for your own health insurance and other benefits. Most employers would jump at the chance to reduce headcount, I would think.

Bob, I am a corporate librarian.

I am a member of the professional assocation called the SLA.

Actually 1600 per show is much less than I was making before, but it\'s only for 4 days of work. I was making about 2200 per show before. But I was a full time employee with no ability to make more money elsewhere. I turn down a lot of work. It really sucks.

My company has no benfits other than health insurance and I don\'t take it. I\'m on my wife\'s. So I\'m not losing anything there.

You could always ask for a raise. I\'ve asked for one each of the past 3 years (and I got all 3). But i\'m looking for a new job too, seems like everyone is.

Good luck, G... you should become Logan\'s manager and pimp his ass out to some fabric softener commercials or a whole franchise like the olsen twins. Then rob him blind before he\'s too old to know better.
