nothing major i can pinpoint and say "this is it".
i took a test yesterday for a new job. a TEST. to be a RECEPTIONIST. if that wasn't humbling enough, 90 PEOPLE took the test. and i'm still not sure how i DID! the tests will be scored by Monday or Tuesday, and then they will start calling for interviews. ridiculous as it sounds, i could really use this job. for the health benefits and retirement, if nothing else. i'm just hoping i can handle it at this point! at least my evenings and weekend would be free to do what *I* want/need for a change.
i've spent the last two evenings shopping. for tools. i now have added to my workbench the "holder" for the Dremel, so i can use it "freehand". [family has been given the list of attachments for Christmas.] cutters. drill bits. [and i'm finally learning to use it for something besides twisting wire!]
i have a soldering iron and silver solder. do i know how to use it? no. but i really, really need to learn. so i'm working on that.
and i have a recommendation/suggestion to a local Native American artist who MIGHT be able to teach me some of the "silversmithing" things i am getting desperate to learn but am unable to find a teacher for. i'll go looking for him tomorrow.
and furniture stripper.
and it's all getting to me.
i'll be heading out on Tuesday night for Las Vegas and taking much of my work with me, even tho the trip itself is totally unrelated to jewelry.
i could really use something out of the list going right for a change! so if you have any vibes to spare, please send them my way!
