*nudge* *falls over* That's no nudge...you PUSHED me!!! I WAS PUSHED!!!

[cornontheschwab]

Well, I feel overwhelmed...if I didn't feel it before, I DO NOW!!! For TWO weeks now, I've been doing my "real" job, my ebay "job", and I've been gearing up for the college season making hemp necklaces!!! It's all too much, and I now long for a simpler life. I can't do that though...I have a stifling car payment...and other worldly duties. Jesus,

I'm sorry you're sad, Mel. Your cry of Just MEAT upon MEAT!!! sounds like an invitation to a living nightmare, but maybe that's just me. =P

If you're feeling overwhelmed, is the eBay job necessary? Or the hemp necklace making? Could you back off of either and give yourself some time to decompress?

LOL!!! Meat upon meat...I usually laugh at my posts a couple of days later...I can't believe the crazy stuff I say sometimes!! :P

I'd like to decompress my job!!! :)

No, it was a nudge. Just a nudge. And you know you needed it. You were starting to fall off the face of the LJ earth again. And I as your friend simply was not going to allow it. ;~D

No, it was a nudge. Just a nudge.

I was joking...I like your helpful nudges!!! :)

One thing that surprised me about your post was the inclusion of making your hemp necklaces in the list of things stressing you right now.

Ahhhhhh yes, I DO like making my necklaces...BUT...when I have too large of a quota...AND...a deadline, it just becomes stressful!!! I've made around 120 necklaces in the past TWO WEEKS...my fingers are starting to wear down...soon, they'll bleed!!! It's happened before...

why the sudden push for all this work?

I can't say no...that's it really. I can't say no to fantasy baseball, to fantasy football, to work, to ebay, to Hippie Gypsy, to Chiba Hut...to anyone. I just want to please EVERYONE!!! :)

Oh well...

Ah, I understand now. You have an agreement with jewelry sellers as their supplier. That makes sense. BUT, you need someone who can say no for you until you can learn how say no yourself. Melissa, maybe? 120 necklaces in 2 weeks is way too much, hun. Is it realistic to stick with supplying to only 1 shop instead of 2?

[cornontheschwab]

Nah...I just hafta get my business going so I can leave my job...or cut down A LOT!!! I really CAN'T say no...except for fantasy sports.

Yeah, Chiba Hut is temporary/provisional anyway. I don't think I'll sell to them again. Hippie Gypsy is where I'm going to make my money. It's on the campus of Arizona State, and in hippie downtown Tempe. :) I'm looking for places near Arizona State-Phoenix(downtown Phoenix)as well. Possibly Old Towne Scottsdale too. It's too upscale tho, I think. I'd like to find a place in Anthem too.

Later...:)
