E is for Elegant Emu
So I hit a bit of a rough patch. I haven't been feeling too inspired as of late. I assume part of it has to be because of an absolutely terrible hostessing job I had up until a few days ago. I should have quit but instead I just left earlier than I told them I would. I would work 8 hour shifts with no break. (which means I stood non-stop for that time, no food, no bathroom- I did however get water, wasn't that nice of them!)
I really disliked the way I was treated by the management, I was raised to respect your elders and your superiors. I did my job to the best of my ability and followed all the rules. (Including not looking at my precious cell phone while I was working, and wear extremely conservative all black clothing in 100 degree weather) However, it was not worth the $8.00 an hour I was making to be treated like an insolent child.
It is safe to say that now that I am jobless and all I have is time again that I will finally be doing what I should have been doing all summer long- draw, paint, exercise, spend time with my family and of course take Kiba out for more walks! I do fortunately have about 3 weeks before I go back to Syracuse where I will undoubtedly be sucked into a routine of socializing, eating, drinking, tomfoolery and a bedtime of 3am again! (I am of course not complaining- but I do hope I finish this project before than! :) )

Love the emu!! And sorry to hear that the job wasn't very good :( That sucks. I'm sure you'll get inspired soon, now that you're done with it and have some time to do art/relax/have fun
ReplyDeleteElegant....just like you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect. Could I possibly have your permission to use this image on a flash card at school? We actually use the rhyme "elegant emu" for the letter 'e' as it has both sounds in the rhyme.
