I’ve been reading your blog since your Iraq posts last year. As a utility-turned-camera-op who is now becoming a TD, I really enjoy reading your posts. I became a full-time freelancer right out of college (graduated in ’08) and it sure has been an interesting journey so far.

I don’t have a Skynet pager, but I’ll drop anything whenever an e-mail comes in asking if I am available to work.

Great post bro. You’re a skilled writer. You sucked me in and finished with with a big left hook to the gut right at the end. Nicely done.

Frenchy!

I feel your pain, and I found a different fun (as you know). I’ll still work in Da Biz, and somehow, it’ll be more fun than before. Absence may make the heart grow fonder; time will tell.

Be well, ride safe!

Great blog! While I can’t relate to all of it, a lot of it certainly hits home… giving up holidays, birthdays and special events for television. Even though I’m in a new journey in my life, I will forever miss my job in television with all my heart… even when it was hard to find the fun in it!

It just proves the only thing in life that’s CONSTANT is CHANGE.
Most all of us have the ability to adapt and grow, and therefore we continue to “Live the Dream” There are still hundreds who would give a left nut (or something precious) to be part of the adventure. Good events, great stories, and amazing friendships still prevail.

Wow, all of this is right on! Every single one of us freelancers has shared that same experience. Funny how this small world spins that fast isn’t it? Loved this blog…..

I like how you call it a cable coiler … so when did they start calling it a utility???
You sure do know how to put things into perspective.

This is so true. I kind of remember the beginning working for 45 dollars CASH and all the beer I can drink. It has gone by so fast.
