This is where I work:
David and I serve our fellow photojournalism students by manning the department’s equipment locker, which houses more than $100,000 worth of photo, video and audio equipment (much of it is donated). It’s fun to help other students get acquainted with and appreciate quality gear, and it’s just as fun to tease those who are already gearheads when they come with a shopping list of exactly what they need to work on a project for a few days.
It’s also a bit stressful at times. Especially Mondays. This semester, I’m the only one working on Mondays, which means I get to check in and reshelf all the gear that was checked out over the weekends.
Today — as you can see by the photo — it got a bit out of hand. Students kept coming around to check in more gear or make reservations, so I didn’t get a chance to remove and charge batteries, detach lenses from cameras, replace back lens caps and camera body caps, or anything… until thirty minutes remained in my shift.
The contents within my photo for today represents probably half of the photo inventory and a third of the entire locker’s invenory.
It is a good job.
Yikes. Sorry you’re stuck with Monday’s. We should set up a time lapse on a Friday and then do a split screen with a time lapse of all of the returns on your Monday shift.
What think ye?
David
As long as we can Magic-Arm the camera somehow. I don’t want to have to lug those video tripods and other equipment around a tripod standing in the middle of the locker!
But I am totally up for it.
