Start baking and advertising it on your website. You already have lots of pictures. Start advertising. You can advertise for free using wordpress or something like that. Tom can help you set up advertising. :)your motherhttp://www.adhdattorney.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-49100544053968071232009-07-28T07:17:20.000-07:002009-07-28T07:17:20.000-07:00Will you please, please use this chance to launch ...Will you please, please use this chance to launch this food photography career? You are beyond ready. Research food photographers, and reps. Start a website. Talk to everyone you know to see if they know anyone who can tell you how to do it. Now is the time.

Because I truly feel like now my hands are tied.Look, I know it's scary, but if you want to take a leap there is no better time. Can I say that a little more obnoxiously? THERE IS NO BETTER TIME. Keep the job if you want the security, but use your husband-free, wacky schedule time to work towards what you think you really want. And, remember, your job is not your life.Alias Motherhttp://aliasmother.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-17553616469856311032009-07-27T20:10:13.000-07:002009-07-27T20:10:13.000-07:00Did you mention they were going to offer you a sev...Did you mention they were going to offer you a severance package if you left?Yes, you are 'lucky' to still be employed but you know what- it sounds like it's time to check out greener pastures. Bake and take pictures. You are so good and seem to enjoy both. Trust me, don't convince yourself at your YOUNG AGE that you need to stay somewhere that may ultimately make you miserable. By the sounds of it, you already are?

In the long run, no one can really tell you nothin', you need to make up your own mind.But.Were someone gonna try and tell you something, I'm thinkin' they would say it's time to move on. It doesn't sound like you'd like the new position nor would you be challenged.Don't settle.Start selling your desserts, hook up with a caterer, get your own commercial space and sell your stuff over the internet. And write about it and take pictures and publish a book and do all of it.You might be surprised.roryhttp://oceandoggy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-20195242050081245132009-07-27T15:22:37.000-07:002009-07-27T15:22:37.000-07:00I ate food last night that kind of looked like fec...I ate food last night that kind of looked like feces.

I vassilate between wanting to kill him and thinking that he's the cutest thing on this planet all the time. Call me bipolar. I hear ya woman and I understand your frustration. Again, it may be time to move on. I don't know what they are paying you but if you're talking about losing your nights and weekends you must stop and ask yourself, are they paying you enough to own you? because if you give them that then that is what it ultimately means. Also can your relationship handle the fact that your hours will be taking away a good chunk of relationship time. That, my dear, may prove to be detrimental.MichelleSGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04452831993197394668noreply@blogger.com
