• I have decided to get a part time job. This decision came about when I considered that I’ll be just about utterly broke *and* in debt after I pay rent next month, thereby leaving me only four weeks in October to either:

  a.) become wildly successful in the bead biz, or at least enough to earn a living wage, or
  b.) pick up some hours somewhere, doing something interesting & low-impact, to supplement my wildly successful bead biz.

  Either way, it’s pretty much inevitable that beads will play an integral role my fame and fortune, it’s just that at the moment I’m a wee bit uncomfortable as to when exactly this eventual fame and fortune is gonna kick in. In the meantime, yeah, bills and rent, and other things I can’t write off on the Moontree Bead Company expense account. So, a compromise is in order.

  I’m actually looking forward to getting out of the house and picking up a gig someplace. I mean, i don’t leave the house that often, since my current commute only requires I walk across the hallway, sometimes still wearing my jammies. It would also probably  be nice to talk to actual people on a daily basis, other than the rabbit or the internets. I figure it will be similar to when I worked through college, except with far less drama and homework and hangovers. And I’m hella smarter now, more responsible, and I have some useful experience. I’m also not demanding a lot, just something to do a few hours a week for some extra cash, which also won’t interfere with my aspirations. Or something that has a pleasantly creative segue into those aspirations. So, yeah, this will be rad. 

  So far today I applied to the local non-profit resale boutique, an artisan gallery in my neighborhood, and the bead shop I worked at in college. I’m totally hoping to get in good with the bead store, for obvious reasons, but I’d be pretty psyched just to find something in my neighborhood.

  Other idea was to host workshops and classes in my home studio. I’d need a big table. Hmm….
