I'm bored at work, and since I get paid on commission and there are no customers in the store right now, I don't feel bad using company time to do this. Well, I might feel a little bad, but I'm letting it go. :) I started an additional job at a place called ArtWorks two days a week, so with my three to four days a week at the Black Goose Design, I am now working full time for the first time in three and a half years. It is quite a change for me. I don't know when normal people have time to do little things like laundry and cleaning the bathroom. I had a hard time getting those things done when I had three or four days off a week! Now I don't know when I'll do it. And don't get me started on Christmas gift purchasing. I was planning on making everything this year for Christmas, but now there is just no time. People are getting store-bought this year from me.
Well, enough complaining about my full-time schedule. I actually am very happy with my two jobs. I think they are a good combo and it gives me a nice variety throughout the week, not to mention actual money! ArtWorks is an art-design company that works mainly with commercial clients. We go into their space, tell them where they need art, pick out the art, and then install it for them. We've done large projects like hospitals and universities, and tons of corporate offices. So far I've only worked there two weeks, but I really enjoy it. My boss is a Zen master. He hired me right on the spot without even seeing my resume. His decision was soley based on a recommendation from Joni Johnson who is the sales manager now, and of course, meeting me during the interview. :) I was very flattered. It is going to be a good job.
I must admit, it was hard to go back to full-time work, but I think it was time. I sort of feel like I "sold-out" but not really. I am happy in the work, and I am not lonely anymore during the day. It was so rough being all alone all day working from home.
Well, I think there is a customer in the store for me to help now. Better sign off for today.

Now I've Gone and Done It.
Welcome, folks, to the day I broke down and created one of these blasted blogs! I don't even know what blog means. Because of my slight dislexia, mostly I just look at the word and think, glob. So that is what this is, just a glob of my thoughts, a glob or two of my photos, and a glob of my daily drama. Unfolding by the minute, for anyone who already knows me.
I'm new to this, so this post will be short. It might just end here. Maybe I'll try adding a photo.
