Case of the... Tuesdays, I guess?
Jan. 21st, 2014 06:06 pmI pretty much want to punch everything today. Literally. EVERYTHING.
Kind of like some drunk idiot probably did to my shop window late Saturday night.
At least it was an accident, and the guy who broke it stepped forward to the cops and is willing to pay for damages. It wasn't some vagrant, and it wasn't anyone trying to break in and take my gear, and I am definitely, definitely counting my blessings on that one. I won't feel 100% relieved until it's fixed, but I'm less freaked out than I would otherwise be. But christ, just the hassle of the cleanup, repair and so forth is more than I wanted.
This and other things I've been fretting about will be resolved soon, but ugh, the act of getting things dialed in has felt like pulling teeth, today.
On the up side, some fairly comforting things have basically fallen into my lap--among them, I may very well be teaching kids about photography at a private school summer camp. (and yes, getting paid for it) I guess doing workshops has been good practice for that sort of thing, because Past Me probably would've shied away from the opportunity. But, hey, I like kids, they seem to like me, and I like both photography and money.
Just, ugh, this day. It's been one of the more frustrating ones in a while. And it also included probably the most phone calls I've made in a single day. Coincidence...? XD
