It was a long time coming but summer in Vancouver has been great. Well, mostly.
I got my research project (investigating the relationship between prestige and age of open access journals) in on time and have now finished my MLIS. That means I’m looking for work and that’s not that much fun. But beaches, bikes, and barbeques are lots of fun.
A friend mentioned her online brand the other day and I groaned. I don’t want to be that person. It’s tricky finding a balance between my creative and professional sides so I’ve gone for openness. I’m intelligent, skilled and hard working and if an organisation doesn’t want to hire me because I’ve made a film called Butch Tits (screening at the 2010 Queer Film Festival!) then it really is their loss.
It’s far too late for me create pseudonyms to separate my professional and personal interests. So here I am, geeking out on Excel AND making films that feature physical and emotional nakedness.
I know what you mean, Jen. I’ve used pseudonyms but never particularly successfully. Instead I figure that I’d rather put myself out there and be who I wanna be and hopefully the people that want to work with me will accept that. I think it’s really the only way to go. Also, I would love to work with you! I just need to start my own library :)
