Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh the traffic to work was nearly non-existent! Yes, you heard right! Work on Thanksgiving day. I don't mind it much, as my job as a cancer researcher is not a regular cubical job so it is quite active and at times (like right now!) I get periods of 20 minutes to an hour of free time as some protocols call for long incubations. I'm thankful that I have a job, despite the horribly funded science arena.

I visited the Ornamentea online shop today to see what I could purchase and saw this great deal:

3 cute stamp set for $3!!! Could it be? Either way, for $3, I was willing to find out.

I also bought some metal case organizers for all my supplies because it is getting out of control at ground zero aka fireside by the lounge. I have reels of cords everywhere, buttons overflowing in boxes, crochet needles and findings all over the show.

I should stay at work all day today because I have that huge horrifying science department presentation next Friday but I think I will go home early. I have to re-do Dana's custom order, I hope it is the last time because I'm starting to spend too much time on it for how much I quoted her. Custom orders are tricky, are the labor hours ( I hate the word labor!) a reflection of the seller's inefficiency or customers standards? That is a tough one to juggle in my head. Don't get me wrong, I love making this piece for her but everytime I finish it, I wince in reading her replies to see if she loved it or it's just not quite there yet. However, I don't want my customers to receive something they're not entirely excited or happy with! I will re make the necklace for the third time and hopefully, third time's the charm! Some custom orders are different from others and I think it is just harder to put into action what she has in her mind.

The timer just went off which means my bacteria cells are all lysed! One last reminder, if you're free on Saturday, come by to the Victory for the Granny Panties Craft Bazaar!!
