what i do at work - part: one
I'm getting a lot of crap about how little I'm posting these days. I always blame it on having a new job and being newly married. While these are, in my estimation, valid excuses I know you, my readers, are harsh and fickle mistresses. So this is my attempt to get back on the horse.
I haven't really gone into a lot of detail about my new job here on the ol' blog, so I've decided to do a multi-part series detailing exactly what it is that I do every week. Scintillating!
I work at St. Awesomes, otherwise known as Crossroads Christian Church in Lexington, Ky. I don't have a job title yet. We're still working on that one. I suggested Associate Pastor in charge of Awesomeness. Nobody really said much so I assume they're thinking about it. My other idea is Minister of Sex Appeal. I think they both sum me up pretty well.
My actual responsibilities are two-fold. I am responsible for creating... um... creative content for our weekend services and I'm in charge of the building and grounds. That second bit is a temporary responsibility that will eventually be passed off to someone else, leaving me to work full time in the creative realm.
Both aspects of my job manifest themselves in a multitude of ways. My goal this week is to spend some time just documenting the various things I do on a given day at work. I wish I started this last week because I had to fix a water fountain and that's pretty random.
Today, after church (where I video directed for the service) I stayed around to tear down our stage and re-set it for our upcoming new series. Our stage design for the new series was inspired by Radiohead's stage from their latest tour.
They hung LED bars vertically across their stage. Obviously we don't have the kind of money required to buy LED bars, so we bought some PVC pipe (It's practically the same thing...) and we're going to light it with our existing stage lights.
Here's what it looked like about half way through:
I think it'll be a neat effect. I don't have a background in stage design, but I've enjoyed what little I've done so far. I'm sure a real professional could point out all kinds of problems with my ideas, but I'd just push them down and maybe kick them if they did, so who looks stupid then?
So there you go, that's one thing I do at my job; hang pvc pipe from ceilings. Wheeee! Stick that in your cubicle and smoke it! Then tune in tomorrow for MONDAY AT ST. AWESOMES!!!
So, we need to get to know each other. I also don't have experience doing this sort of thing either and I am always seraching for freaky designers.
I like you idea here. Can't wait to see more of it...
How about some more details...
Let me know when you've added more pics.
