bad week!
Monday I was working down in the frame shop. No too busy, just reorganizing things. Now, yesterday is when the problem started. First thing in the morning I was to cut a 2 mats for some artwork. I proceed to cut the first mat and what happens? I do it all wrong. So I re check my measurements and cut again. Mess that one up too. I no longer have any of that mat board left so I move on the next one. What happens.?…..you guessed it, screwed that one up too. I order new mat board. I was no longer allowed to touch the mat cutter. Next thing…. I slap some 20+ awards into some frames. Done and done. good work! Go to lunch. I am now allowed to touch the mat cutter again. Have 4 simple mats to cut, and yes, mess up 3 out of the 4. Luckily we have extra. Fix the problem and move on. What else could go wrong? Well I was trimming a photograph and cut into the image. HAHA! GREAT! I wish I knew what my problem was ,……seriously!
I got to work today and tell Chad that “Today is a better day I can feel it!” I cut a quadruple opening double mat and it looked perfect! Things were going great until after lunch. I was cutting a piece of glass and nicked the tip if my ring finger. Bleeding, I get a Band-Aid. After cutting the glass I went to place it on top of the artwork. It was a larger piece of glass so Chad told me to trust myself and use the pads of my fingers and push in and lift it. It’s a trick he uses to you don’t dirty up the other side of the glass. I trusted myself too much and sliced all my fingers on my left hand except the ring finger since it had a Band-Aid on it. Now I have b-aids on all my fingers. Then randomly my heal started to bleed. Stigmata? Ok down the drain it goes. Trim an image wrong. Miscalculate size of another. Frames don’t fit. Reorder. I think I need some time off! NOW!
So a friend just wrote how someone doesn’t get mentioned in his blog. I don’t either. Then I thought about it …….there is a correlation between the people(s) that are not bloged. HAHA
So I found this Journal by Dan Eldon which is SO COOL! You should check it out if you can. His background story is awesome. Very Inspiring.
