Two Weeks to Shoot
One thing I'm really looking forward to in the next two weeks is taking a couple days with my camera and just shooting a ton of pictures. It's been so long since I've done that, I feel like I've gotten away from it way too much. There's a really beautiful forest preserve about 10 miles away from here that I'm dying to return to, and one thing I really got into a couple years back was visiting old, abandoned cemeteries in the area. We have so many old railroad towns around here, that some of these forgotten rural cemeteries can be really interesting places. It will be good to get to know my camera again.
One thing I really hate about working in a massive facility with thousands of people is the speed at which rumors fly through the plant. Couple that with doom-and-gloom negativity from a lot of unhappy people, and you can hear some really nasty stuff. It seems every week we're about to lose our jobs, third shift is going to be shut down, or 400 transfers are coming in from some far away state to bump us out onto the street. All of it is nonsense, of course, but trying to reason with these people can be completely maddening. This two week shut down has really fired a lot of these people up, and frankly, I'm looking forward to getting away so I don't have to listen to it for a while. One more night!
