Lest you think I be a bitch and in the wrong profession, I have been in here since seven a.m., it is now 4:30 p.m., and I have had one bathroom break and nothing to eat. I finished all the work needed for "I must absolutely pick up on Saturday" — sixteen pieces, nine people.
Four people came in today: Two brought in approximately twenty-five more pieces to frame, one came in because his wife told him that the work has been sitting here ready for weeks (they just brought it in two weeks ago), and one of the nine came in to pick up the one piece she brought in to pick up today.
This can make one decidedly cranky.
