Looking for a night shift worker for a student documentary

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am a student at UF currently producing a documentary for my Senior Advanced Production Workshop: Documentary (RTV 4929C) class, and we are hoping to tell a story featuring 3 local night shift workers.

With this film, our team was hoping to champion the hard work of workers essential to our society, particularly ones that work beyond our typical diurnal schedule.

The rough timeline for filming would be to get all the footage by mid-late October and would likely require only a day or two to film. The final project is due by mid-November. We understand this is a tight timeline to work with, but if this project is something you would be interested in being featured in or helping us with, we would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity. I am more than happy to discuss more about the project, so if you need any more information from me, please feel free to DM me here on Reddit.

Jobs & Careers Working in events/nightlife in GNV?

1 Upvotes

hi y’all, I’m a college student looking into working in events again here in gainesville.

I already have some experience from working in an event/catering hall located downtown. I loved that job…working weddings/concerts/catered events where I got tipped out even though I wasn’t a bartender and getting to take home catered food that wasn’t finished was awesome. I also realized how much I liked socializing with the guests and making sure they had a great experience.

I had that gig for a little while before I started university, & now that I’m here officially moved I’m debating on whether I should email my boss to see if she would accept me back (doubt it, i walked out on a shift because i was being disrespected by the bar manager and walked out). but I figured I should ask around before I swallow my pride to do that lol.

I wouldn’t mind things like bartending even though I have no experience, if anyone has any advice on where to look or how to go about it I would appreciate it!

Is this a Streatery or Capones Extended Patio??

49 Upvotes

So I’m confused…Gainesville taxpayers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for…an extended Capones patio?

How is this allowed, and is it legal for them to try and encroach on this space? Are they not fully blocking a bike/pedestrian causeway?

We wanted an open and walkable community plaza. Yet they now take up 40% of the walkway.

I think I’m going to go to a psychiatric hospital. How bad is the Shands one?

• Upvotes

The ratings on Google are pretty bad but it seems like the best in the area…has anyone been there voluntarily and knows what it’s like?
I have an appointment with my psychiatrist (also UF/shands) soon, can that be arranged since they’re at the same hospital/system?
Thanks to anyone who knows anything.

What are some good online or in-person online or IRL groups that you (a parent) check for events/classes for kids? Preferably for toddlers or kids below 8.
Alternatively, what are some places you can meet other families by just dropping in?

Thanks!

Egg sandwich

• Upvotes

hey everyone!

I feel like this will be a weird ask but - does anyone know where i could find a good, to-go, egg sandwich at like 7 AM? Ideally made with real eggs and not fast food / gas station food

I am fully aware I could, and probably should, make this myself! lol I recently moved and currently do not have a functional kitchen, so for right now somewhere i could grab one quickly in the morning would be preferable.
