Smell the Salty Air

I have only 3 pictures left for my commission. It is encouraging to realize you are near the end. It is like driving towards the ocean and at a certain point you can smell the salt in the air. I am close and it is uplifting. I've enjoyed it, I've learned tons, I look forward to my next commission, but it is good to have an end to things.

I went to Kinkos to print the last 8 pictures and mail them by Fedex which is now right in Kinkos. The self copier didn't get the color right and I don't have time to mess with fixing it so I went to the other side where they do it for you. Our color copiers are both down, she said. And she told me how I could use the machine I just came from. I talked out loud and said I don't have time to mess with fixing the color and spending money on each one, but I made sure I didn't "take it out on her". I am much more sensitive to that now that I work with John Q. Public myself.

And Zips is closed so I could not pick up my slacks. Oh well, a wasted trip. Off to visit my sister and my Dad in one hour.

The superhero thing. It is great to have a week off from that. But I have learned so much and ENJOYED learning. And I have enjoyed watching movers and shakers move and shake. People that are leaders and love the marketplace and the high speed, high pressure world of business. It fascinates me, and I observe the difference in them and myself, and I see why I am not a mover and a shaker. But I do have my own gifts to give and I am happily learning to give them.
