Untamed Spirit

I got some new things going on. No surprise right! & with Christmas coming too! Ugh! I don't like this time of year to be honest. I've got nothing against giving people gifts but this time of year it's expected .... and people expect expensive 'things'. Lots of people don't appreciated things made from the heart and with them in mind. It makes me sad and all uncomfortable. But I try my best to push through and get my peoples things they might like.

I can't go into detail the things I'm getting them ... as they might be reading this and it'd be cheating! But I will say I'm exercising my creativity a bit. At least for some.

Anyways, rant over! Merry Christmas! Happy Yule! And all the other holidays being celebrated this time of the year!

My boss, though not putting me to work has been presenting me with corporate sanctioned signs that have been killing me. He has asked that I help his business get at least enough sales that he is in the black rather than the red. So my creativity has been running rampant. I've been working on signs, displays and advertisements for our café.

I've also had a patron come into the library. Asking for help on how to make a 'we're closed for Thanksgiving' sign then when we get back to the computer he had me make the darn thing for him. I really wanted to give him my business card and tell him I'd be happy to help him when I'm not working and that I charge $20 an hour. However, I was feeling generous .... a little too generous recently .... it's no wonder I make no money! I give away my services! I did tell that manager that if he came back I'd give him my card.

Let's see ... what else have I been up to?

OH! I registered with the state for my mobile bar! Super excited about that. I also found a trailer that will work. The owner is checking with the maker to see if the counters can hold the required weight. If so then it's a go! If not ..... I might be able to get them at a lower price so I can go in and reinforce the counters. I'm also attempting to set up a 'go fund me' account to see if all you lovely people will help me get this ball rolling faster! Fingers crossed!

Almost forgot Oglebay!
