Sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been busy doing some freelance work for a company a friend of mine works for. It's been taking up a lot of my time outside of my day job. You might be wondering "What the heck are you doing taking on a freelance job when your work has been consuming you...at least according to that other post you wrote!"
It's an interesting situation. Doing this freelance job has actually helped me (temporarily, at least) get the frustrations of my day job out of my head. Yes, I'm making videos but it's not the same. The subject mater is completely different and I'm getting my hands on the equipment again...getting back in the trenches, so to speak. In my day job I do more managing than actual doing. I have a great guy that works for me who does the shooting and editing while I hover over his shoulder and drive him nuts. This freelance job has been all me – lighting, camera, directing, editing...everything.
In some ways it's a nice reminder that I still know how to do this stuff. It also helps me appreciate the team of people I work with on a daily basis.
On a more selfish basis, the side work is going to help finance my new iPhone. Sounds like an all around win to me! Now if i can just get this project wrapped up so I can go reintroduce myself to my wife...

I can relate! I just took on two freelance jobs that I really don't have time for...But freelance work is often the more creative work, so it oddly recharges me, while making me too busy!
I hear ya! I'm pretty wiped out right now, but in a good way.
Welcome to the iPhone club. You may have been the only person on the planet without one! A little birdie told me the client was very happy!
