2:00 pm

So I finally quit! I've agreed to stay until the end of the month. It'll be an extra $300 plus maybe $200 with the weddings. Perfect. I'm going to teach Alberto how to edit, so he can take over. Herbert is really cool. He understands. He says he's "walked many kilometers" and still doesn't know where he's going. So I have to trust him to pay me what I'm owed at the end of the month. In the meantime, maybe I should do this "movie" I want to make. I was so fucking nervous trying to tell Herbert I want to quit. Why? No big deal. I'm happy that I'm being honest and fair -- even if they haven't been with me. You know, I had talked to Matt about it and he helped clarify things. I simply must let them know what I require to work here. If I don't get it, I can't stay. Simple. Herbert told me it would be a year before I would earn what I deserve to earn.
