The 'A' list

I guess I don't really have any luck when it comes to dealing with sales or marketing people.

Several months ago, I sent my Canon Powershot G-7 for service and was told that the pocket camera is as good as a write off.

Maybe I should just junk it.

My professional relationship with Canon Marketing Malaysia had hit a snag sometime back with a price issue.

I think it was resolved with a meeting to 'weed' things out.

During the encounter, I recall the head honcho mentioning something to his downline about a special pricing for the EOS 550D.

That was in April and I guess with August hitting the mid-month mark, its as good as gone.

Funny thing is this: I am thinking of getting a Nikon system.

Been using them and never did give up my old film set.

Attention needed..

You can never mix profit with passion.

I found this out the hard way through years and years of slogging it out in the field.

Speaking of earning some extra cash, I had some offers to write on a freelance basis.

Basically, advertorials and the basis for doing this is my hobbies and some extra cash.

But then, who the fuck am I kidding.

I am just fucking myself with more work and some unecessary stress.

Its bad enough I have to endure my 12-hour/day work and take instructions.

Financially, I making my end's meet.

So, the fantasy part is always being 'wanted' to partake in some projects and getting paid.

Looking back, I've always enjoyed my privacy, hobbies and anonymity.

I am not an attention-seeking whore and don't see any reason why I should do so.

That said, I tried the alternative way of earning some extra cash, but meeting up with even higher expectations for a pittance just don't cut it.

If there's anyone who needs to whore for fame and get paid for it, they can have all my share.
