Its been what, almost 4 years now. And this past friday i got my first gig since the storm. I had to work it up but i got the guts to make the call. A man had some footage of when he stayed for the storm and wanted it edited. He couldnt make up his mind who to hire. I was up against three guys and i was the one who got the job. We agreed on 1 week to get him back the finished project, but i was so excited i finished it in three days. I'm just hoping he likes what i did. The work followed his criteria and i even threw in some extra. I should be handing it back to him on monday or tuesday. I'm hoping he likes it and meets his expectations. My self esteem is so low and yet i'm a perfectionist when it comes to my editing. I just hope all goes well. Maybe i'll get some more gigs out of this one.

Now i'm bored and want more. haha

I just picked up the phone and called him. He said he really liked it and that it was professionally done. He is going to sell them in his shop. And said within the next week he will be ordering about 20 copies from me. I feel so much better now.
Thanks for this!
