Sweet! I sold another one!

This is the other painting my coworker bought from me. I think it's kind of cool too that when I bring stuff in some of my coworkers seemed genuinely interested in what I do. It makes me feel proud and a little embarrassed at the same time.

One of them even knew what Etsy was because her cousin has an Etsy shop! I thought that was pretty neat. She's the first one I've met outside of the art/craft world who knew what Etsy was.

Things are FINALLY starting to slow down at work again. We have gotten several lunches in the past week or so and I got off work three times so far before 6:30pm. I got to leave at 4:45 today!

That certainly helped me decide on my little job crisis situation. My goal is to still work only part time so I can pursue painting but at least this way I will be able to pay off bills first without cashing in my 401k. If I can work normal hours for a while I don't have to worry about burn out and I figure around January/February I can review the situation. That gives me about six months - A time frame which I think is reasonable and a more responsible decision.

The only thing bad about us slowing down is that the staff will have to be downsized. We go from working nonstop to worrying about layoffs in a few months. Go figure. I guess that's the way it works though, right? I really hope I don't get laid off but if I do I don't really have the opportunity to pussy foot around anymore - debt or no debt.

Do what you love and the rest comes on it's own
