In the year 2015, i ended my studies as audio engineer at SAE Brussel and was ready to start working. I was already doing some jobs as an interim worker for some companies but i wanted to start a full time job in the event business. So i went to some interim agencies, after a month or 2 someone called me.
“I found a place you can start, come quick and we will get you the job”.
So i want there, got all the details. Went to the company in Brugge. There they did me an offer: “You have the job but first you need to prove your good enough... , You need to operate an business meeting with 12 microphones and an projection with 2 laptops (switchable).
No problem for me. I did the event, costumers were very happy, easy job ;).
So i could start my job...
What did i do:
Building up meetings and events (audio, video and light). All basic things with basic materials (4x bose 801′s, soundcraft mixer, projection, laptop,...).
Driving belgium around with laptops with pre installed powerpoint documents.
So you can already tell that the most part of the job is sitting in a truck driving around... Also in the event business there is no such thing as an 8 hour work day.
I can tell you that my 3 first months of that job got me OVER 135 HOURS of overtime!!!! All these hours where not payed, only used for action days...
So day in day out i drove around with the truck, long days, eating when you can, boring, eating more. At that time my weight was around 99kg. But after 1 year of working there it was 109KG!!!
This is a small pre story text i wanted to share with you so you can understand how i became so overweight. Sorry for my bad english, i’m from belgium so i try my best to type my best english...
more of my story will come soon!
