I got a photography gig

Yes I mean gig and not job, anyways I have a friend that works in an office and they hire freelance photographers to do some shoots so he put in a word for me and got the assignment. I have to take some shots at night of a building in beverly hills and yes it is paid. I'm happy because it'll confirm my status as a photographer. Oh and I got a rejection letter 2 days after I applied from toys r us. Yeah it's there loss, I was willing to work 2 12 hour shifts on black friday but I guess they don't want that
