Damn. Its been forever and a day since I last updated.
Suppose I got sucked away into the real world.
I was terribley swamped with getting this most recent show up and out, mostly because my shop staff dropped the ball and I ended up picking up a lot of loose ends. I was already maintianing two jobs, so picking up someones else's duties was a little much. But everything came off well and I'm already working onthe next one (withthe promise of others throughout the season). I wouldn't say this show was my best work, but it fits the bill.
Tomorrow I will be meeting with a few folks to talk about the issues in the shop. THis meeting has been a long time coming, the problems have always been there...its just this show was finally big enough to really expose them to the rest of the production team. Thing is, i can already tell this is going to be a "spear the manager" bitch fest, and while i would consider her the primary problem, I also have complaints with her boss and her subordinate...both of which will be there. If I was smart I would play along and not mention thier failings, but I know I will. And I know it might get ugly. And I'm trying not to be nervous.
The other twist in this plot is that lately there have been murmers that I should take over the shop manager's position.
It would mean I could quit my day job. It would mean stability....something I often think I shouldn't want, but in all honesty really do. And while i know I could manage that shop beautifully, and still design there, I have some doubt in my cutter/draper skills. (which, for a shop this size, are rather essential) Still, I have to beielve that with some ready resources and some serious study I could quickly improve those. Plus, I know I have to be able to produce more in a standard 8 hr. work day than she ever did in her usual 3 hr day. Still, I feel shiesty even thinking about it. How can you lobby agianst someone's job while harboring hope that you can fill thier position. It just feels slimey and I have to find a way to separate the two.
In other news:
I'll be moving in to my new lil apt. in a week. Whoohoo!
I dropped 600 bucks this afternoon to fix my car! Boo!
I'm gonna be a bridesmaid. Whoa.
One of my regulars asked me out. Eh.
I realized I am still capable of jelousy over the ex. Damnit!
I totally missed Southernbelle's housewarming party. Crap!
