vendredi, novembre 07, 2003 Slight job irritation today: (excerpts from a ICQ lament with adeline sim)we're having a concert at the esplanade today, and was to take pix for the students. i went down yesterday to take some shots, but the kids weren't dressed in concert attire, so i couldn't take any formal shots. i ended up just shooting nonsense pics, you know, like people hugging each other etc, stuff that you and I would take. the students asked if i could send the pictures to them. i said yes, cos i didn't see why not. today I asked if I could send the pix to them. someone (my sup?!) said that only she and the director could send out pix, cos they want to control the image of the conservatory students. I get their point, but my problem is: what difference does it make if i send out these informal shots to them versus them taking the pictures themselves? and i was using my own personal digital camera - i even charged it at home! *frus* idiots. if i were a student i would like to have some shots of me and my friends during rehearsal. but no. i probably can't even send it in my own private capacity because they'd probably say NO TOO, because the students might ask my sup to send them pix next time, and if she says that she cannot, and they say "but xxx last time send us wat", then I'm in hot soup, and then i'll be called in to explain myself. esp when i've been explicitly told that only my sup and the dir can send pics to the students. then i have to explain to them that it was on my own camera and my own personal account that i sent it from. i suppose i can't be friends with the students then huh? since I'm only connected to them in a professional capacity like my job enabled me to meet them, so i have to be on-the-job with them all the time. if they are reasonable people then i don't think that they will mind, but if they were reasonable people they wouldn't be limiting the people who send out pictures to the students in the first place. so then i'll have to explain myself and probably create a lot of irritation in them. then they'll probably do something like tell me "I don't care, don't send pix to the students again. Why? Because I told you so." THIS IS STUPID. [news@theConservatory] |
