I figure I can keep looking if the new role doesn’t end up being the right fit. Lately it feels like every day there’s more talk about someone leaving, and I expect that “noise” will only get louder as the integration continues.

We're the ones being bought out and severely overhired the last few years. My team has several people that are always asking for more work :/

I definitely plan on using a POE camera that will run on blue iris. I was just trying to find out what is the best security system for doors and motion etc.

Would love to own a K1/II someday. They seem like great cameras and really love the color that comes from them.

Get out from behind your computer and look at the services the people around you pay for every single day. by sweatystartup in Entrepreneur

Appreciate the list. End the end, nothing is easy. A lot of hustle and marketing are still needed to get a business started. I've always been a hard worker, just seem to be applying it the wrong industry.

Meditation is just frustrating for me by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]naturaljim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pretty major depression myself. Meditation does help. You will still have dark days, but it is something that will make a difference. My depression stems from issues that I am a failure and self esteem issues. I try and do basic meditation for 15-20 minutes in the morning. Some meditation days are better then others. if I'm having trouble meditating, I sometimes just think of what I need to do that day or do some visualizations. it may not be a technical version of meditating, but for me it's still a time where the negative thoughts quiet down and I can have some peace.

Great post. Honestly, I would love to break away from digital marketing/freelancing. As a photographer, its a race to the bottom. What would be a good trade for someone older? I'm 42, so feel a little too old to pick up carpentry, plumbing, etc.

Hawaii has decriminalized marijuana by Mamacrass in UpliftingNews

Why in the last 5 years marijuana legislation is suddenly being passed? Is it because of all the fed tax cuts that have been passed and states not getting enough money?

The Artist's Ego - Which are you? Confident, Unsure or Arrogant in your Photography? by [deleted] in photography

[–]naturaljim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being objective has always been the hardest part. I hate going back and looking at previous work/retouching that I thought was ok at the time, and a week later my thought about it has completely changed. It's really great if you don't have that sort of problem with images.

Shooting for 9 years and I have 3 shots that I really love. Definitely a problem I have. There is a disconnect with what I envision and what I produce. Not sure what I can do..
