All is well
Work has been better, thankfully. Not as overwhelming. I, at least, have an ASM now. I took two days off in a row this week and I don't feel stressed out about it. This is good. Now I get to write reviews for associates that I've only worked with for two months. This seems highly unfair for them, but I will do my best.
Emerald City Comicon has come and gone. Let's just say…I understand why I enjoy working at cons more than actually being at the con. Less stress, fewer problems and only having to worry about the products I'm selling.
Also, costume contest…yeah, too much wasted time at a con. I don't know how people can do these all the time. Felt like I barely got to spend time with my husband and my sister at the con, because I was following a friend, helping her change, did the contest and prejudging…it was all lost time. However, for what I really truly want to make for ECCC next year I may enter myself and my husband IF and only if it turns out exactly how I want it to. We'll see. But at least we'll get to spend more time together. I hated all that lost time. I enjoy wandering the con and people watching. At least I made some friends and got to see some old friends. Good times. Good times.
Sakuracon is next weekend and I will not be costuming and will be working it. This makes me happy. Comfort, friends, and surrounded by costumes…I'm A-OK with this! Simplicity and good friends. :)
And then no more cons for the year. So all year to plan for next year and relax. Once the weather gets a bit better we have so much we want to do. Another trip to Mt. Rainier. Back to Bainbridge Island and finally to Whitbey Island. We want to do a lot of local stuff we've never done before. Local and free! Well, except going to Oregon to check out the cheesy Enchanted Forest theme park. Can't wait to see what that's all about. They even have a Storybrook Lane!!
That's it for now, I suppose. Thanks for reading. :)
Maybe some photos on the next one.
