I Will Tell You 10 Things About Me

Saw a few of these earlier, and thought I'd join in.

1) I write instruction manuals for a living. They're about as much fun to write as they are to read, which is not at all.

2) I was a camera operator on a short-lived TV show, and a lighting grip on several independent films. It's an amazingly fun job, but sadly doesn't pay well, if at all.

3) I have vivid reoccurring nightmares sometimes.

4) I am a larper and am big into tabletop RPGs, like Dungeons and Dragons and things like that. No, it's not as dorky and corny as popular media would have you believe. I mean, it can be, depending on the people around you, but my group has defied stereotypes of the hobby.

5) I have danced barefoot in the middle of the forest, under the light of a full moon on an autumnal equinox. It was a very cool moment for me, even if I was the only one there.

6) I have laid on the beach in the middle of a storm at night. Just for fun.

7) I've thought about joining an improv comedy group.

8 ) I first met my boyfriend while holding a sword to his throat. It was a foam, larp-safe sword, but still.

9) I have lived in six different US states, and visited over 30 of them.

10) A very young me at various points had dream jobs of working at taco bell (to steal the taco recipes), cargo ship captain, storm chaser, nuclear reactor scientist, and spy. Now I have no dream job.

How did you get a job as a camera person?

What kind of instruction manuals do you write? Are a lot of them outsourced to India or China? I have read a few of them that used poor grammar, wrong choice of words.

@DallasCowboysFan Someone I graduated college with got hired to direct the show, and he reached out to people he knew and trusted to hire them as crew members.

As for the instruction manuals, we make specialized industrial-grade hardware, and we make everything in-house. No outsourcing here.
