gothawfulworldYesterday dragged! I stayed fairly busy but that was a loooong 13 hours. Right after all of the artists left I received a call from a customer who had stopped by the other shop but they were booked out. He wanted a tattoo tonight and no other time would do. He pitched a threatening hissy fit at me because our artists weren't willing to work until 3:00 am. I calmly explained that after the first 10-12 non-stop hours (their normal shift) they really couldn't pull another decent line no matter how good of an artists you are. The guy was still bitching! I just don't understand why anyone would want a tattoo from an artists that was so obviously fatigued. Where the fuck is the compassion?!
After that I realized I had forgotten my knife. I'm thankful that he didn't stop by because I thought I might have a fight on my hands, if so. My boss gave me a little pocket taser thing for Christmas since I don't carry a gun like the rest of the artists and I get here earlier and stay later alone. (Plus, the joys of being female.) I really didn't want to have to carry it but I may just keep it up here as an emergency measure.
I'm not sure what to expect today because although it's almost 80 degrees outside, it looks like it's going to be a rainy day and that usually affects customers. In addition, the artists that is supposed to be here at noon told me last minute that he wouldn't be coming in until 2:00. When I ran a retail store this kind of crap wouldn't have been allowed but since were already short on artists as it is they feel like they can just do whatever. Sigh.
I'm very much looking forward to my two days off after today. Sounds like the boyfriend and I will be going to play some VR games and then I'll do my normal art day with my best friend. Plus, seeing my kid is always nice. There's just not enough time in the world.
