Scared Shitless

Two posts in one day, it's is a miracle. 

Tomorrow morning I'll go down town and get my table all set up for WorldCon. And the whole idea of world con scares me to death.

Not because I don't believe I have the talent to be there. Not because I don't think I have the quality to be there. No, The reason this event scares me so much is because it will not be hundreds of people walking past my booth with the potential to be customers, it will be thousands of people. 

This is a big event. It has been held in cities like Tokyo, London, Sydnee and others around the world. And here it is in my own backyard. On top of all the big name companies that had a chance to get their foot in the store I was given an opportunity as well. Nothing I've been to compares to the size of this event.

I think I just needed to get this out into the world. I'm stressed, I'm scared, and I know once everything gets going it'll calm down for me. Once I get into that convention center and take part in this event, I won't be quite so scared.

Busy of Late

Life has been a tad weird lately.

1: My father had a Heart attack that was swiftly followed by triple bypass surgery.

2: Money got kinda tight [after the afore mentioned heart attack] and our wifi has been gone since a bit after Memorial Day.

3: This lack of WiFi has killed most of my creativity, as I can't go out when I want to work and stay at home when I want to play. I must instead do all of it 'out'.

4: WorldCon, called Sasquan this year, is in Spokane and I have a table there. Is a HUGE FREAKING DEAL and I'm all a flutter about it.

I'm hoping that September will bring about the return of WiFi and some normalcy, but who knows. In the mean time, I may try and post even just a little something daily. Its hard to keep up on something where you know you get views, but no one seems to want to talk or post with you.

Anywho, I hope you're all having a good day and look forward to sharing WorldCon with you.

AHA!!! I'm here to post!

Ok, I swear I've been trying to type up a post for... Well, weeks now.

See, as ya'll know I'm unemployed/self employed and trying to keep from relying wholly on my father. I'd had an almost job with a company, but they said 'F-U' when I ended up having a past.  'le gasp, you're not perfect?'

Well, I applied at another company and THEY liked me, and don't care about my past, only my current.  So what started as a few jobs locally, turned into a second week out of town, then a third week...

I got home this last Sunday, and I don't think they'll have me go anywhere else, plus I can't go anyplace as I have a show tomorrow.

But, the long hours [67.5 working hours in 4 days, lots of driving around, then more driving, followed by 51 working hours in 4 days, then more driving] have paid off and I'll be doing some updating this weekend, including a new phone, some new tires, oil change, new PC [the old one isn't doing so good] and the like.

All in all, its pretty good and I'm happy.

Except, that I'm three weeks behind in everything else AND trying to remember how to be at home, and active [this week, hasn't been that good at being active] so I can get back to business.  Also attempting to NOT spend all my phone.  I'm planning on putting some of it into a CD account for the Holidays, and perhaps another one for future shows..

Which brings me to exciting news.

WORLD CON 2015!!! You are looking at a vendor!!  That's right, I was accepted as a vendor at one of the bigger SciFi-Fantasy events of the year.  This thing travels around all over the place, and somehow its landed in Spokane.

Its called Sasquan, and its in August... And I'm STOKED!!! To be going. BIG chance to make contacts.

So, that's my life recently... Making some 'big ish bucks' which will mostly be spent in a few days, but also mostly on things I need [ok, I don't 'need' a new phone, but I think I'm making the best choice for the future, as my phone is starting to act up.]
