Kinda in a hard spot...[WORK WANTED]

Postby hamster on Tue Nov 18, 2008 12:21 am

A couple of months ago due to a chronic neuro-musuclar flare up I fell down a rather large flight of stairs at Sydney Iniversity. Now before the rest of you guys scream SUE it wasn't the uni's fault and I was ambulanced to Westmead after fainting on the train on the way home. Fast forward to the present and now I'm in a bit of a hard spot with ambulance payments and other things rising and I simply don't have enough working hours in between university to repay everything.

So i'm just wondering, does anyone need an assistant/second shooter in any capacity? I estimate the total costs to give me two months breathing room as $500-600 or so. Obviously I'm not expecting that to come in one huge hit, but I feel like I should be able to work for it, you know? I'm almost considering selling the entire gear just to get out of this mess but i'd rather not have it come to that, you know?

Just in case anyone's wondering, the most important thing is that I walked away with an all clear for my head. My arms are another problem though and physio's also one of the things i've been having to pay for.

Just incase anyone wants to see a small selection of work you can catch it here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtang/sets/72157609094411255/show/

Good luck in your recovery. I can't help but maybe mention 'work wanted' at the end of your heading may get a few more people reading who have employment available

Thanks. I can't believe falling down stairs is such a common way to hurt yourself.

Good luck.... Can't help you, but your Flickr slideshow was well done and I enjoyed looking at your images and composition style.
