Employed... again

So yes new job. Of course when it comes to me and work when it rains it pours. Now that I have a long list of commissions and selling opportunities is the time that the temp agency calls me up and tells me that I'm starting work with RIM. I can't really complain though as it will be a steady paycheck. I start on Friday.

The only thing I'm not so happy about is that it's 12 hour shift work. I don't relish those days working 7pm to 7am (or the thought of getting up for 7am start) but work's work. I also think I'm more suited for assembly work than retail anyways. However working full time shift work affords more actual days off and thus more opportunities to go into my studio. I even have 7 days off once a month between night shifts. So we'll see how this one works out. It's only a 3 month contract as it is. I'm considering not trying to hire on again immediately afterward as it will be the start of Christmas buying season and a prime time for me to work on my own business.

No news yet on the adapter for my torch. Going to call first thing in the morning as work is definitely piling up.

Hooray for Progress!

This has been a productive week so far in the studio. The creative juices are flowing and progress is being made. Also on the business front it's finally time to go to the galleries! On the weekend a friend and I went to a few galleries in town and had some really good conversations so there's one gallery in town I plan on approaching next week and this weekend I heading up to cottage country with the boyfriend to talk to another gallery owner. Wish me luck! and have a peek at some of the pretties that have come out of the studio this week:
