Katie Doyle, Girl About Town

As soon as I sort my snafu with Paypal out and pay for my supergold again, the images and comments will be back up and running. Should be Monday. I'm too tired to deal with it right now.

I was going to do Friday Finds when I got home from work tonight, but what with how my day went...

I was so tired when I went to bed last night, I completely forgot to actually turn on my alarm. Hence, I woke up at 11am. I start work at 10, so that was, shall we say, bad. I also had to go to the bank and bead store today, so that took 2 hours of my work day, which had to be made up, and that, coupled with not getting there until 1, meant that I had to work until 11. And when I got back from the bead store, it was all Apocalypse Now in my office, with my supervisor and the post coordinator locked in a battle of wills, wits, and petty bullshit. It was like someone turned napalm into angst and sprayed it all over the office. Seriously, if you replace carpet bombing with slamming doors and banging equipment, you could totally hear Ride of the Valkries. I fully expected Huey helicopters and Robert Duvall any second. And in case you're wondering, yes, it is very hard to transcribe when someone is standing eight inches behind you slamming drawers and the doors to the metal cabinet which is so close to you that your shoulder touches it, and throwing production equipment against or into said cabinet repeatedly, while yelling over the partition at anyone within--I was going to say earshot, but we'll say in the building, which was pretty much the same thing. Really. It was a fun day.

I had to go to the bead store because I've got a store that asked to carry my jewelry, and I have to ship it out tomorrow. :) And next week, I have to ship to another store that's reopening soon with my stuff. It's a busy time for me. :) I did a goodie swap with several other businesses I know, and I have some neat stuff to toss into order boxes this Christmas, which is going to be fun. :) I decided too to put one of everything - along with a pair of my earrings - into a box for the November drawing on my site, so you should go register to win a variety of fun items from different indie businesses. I have magnets and/or switchplates from Pacific Northwest artist Pam Corwin, blockprinted Christmas cards, more cool magnets, travel/purse mirrors, herbal oatmeal mask samples, moisturizer samples, beaded zipper pulls, key fobs, and more. :) Seriously, it's sizing up to be a fun box, so get over to Dragonfly and enter. :)

I have to go now. I'll try to get the Finds up next Friday. I kinda don't think I'll have time this weekend.

Peace out,
Katie
