So, do you like your job?

I dig my job. It started out as a way to make decent coin while having fun between film jobs, but it's actually become a steady thing even with a recent influx of film-based employment.

A few friends of mine own a rather well celebrated brew pub out my way, and they hired me on as a co-executive chef to bring some Asian fusion and a new look to the menu, since the guy who was doing it wanted to spend more time actually cooking and less doing menu-building. So, basically I hang out in a great kitchen for a few hours, spend the rest of the time drinking some of the best micro-brew on the planet, talking to the regulars, flirting with waitresses and learning the art from the brewmaster. I used to be there three or four days a week, now I put in the same sort of time and get paid a hefty chunk of change for my troubles. It's actually pretty badass, and I've recently started putting away some funds to open my own brewpub when I move out to Montreal on a more permanent basis, since they have a sad lack of proper pubs out there.

That's not to say I'm abandoning life behind a camera lens. One of the boons of this job is a boss who is really liberal with me just disappearing for a week at a time.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
