So today was a day. Whooo boy.
First half of the day was very, very quiet so at some point I started blasting Undertale soundtrack just to amuse myself. I was minding my own business when I heard some random teenagers making noise on the outside, and at first I didn't pay attention because teenagers will be noisy, that seems to be the default setting. Then they started knocking on the window to get my attention and as I looked up I got lots of smiles, some thumbs-ups and a muffled "uuundertaaaale" from them... ah yes, forgot I had one shop window open to the street.
Then I started to make my own day bad. Had a group of old ladies come in wishing to have embroidery pictures framed, and all went ok-ish up until the moment that I carelessly put a frame sample corner over one embroidery piece to show how it would look like with it and then tried to quickly switch it to another one.
The corners have a bit of french zipper at the back with which they hang on the wall, see. Of course it had caught on the embroidery. Of course. I ended up ripping a few long stitches out. I've never had my heart sink that fast, it was awful and worst of all was that it was something I should have known,
should have checked, stupidest possible mistake ever. Thankfully the damage was salvageable and I managed to fix the piece very quickly, and then somehow-no-idea-how got such a huge framing order from the ladies that the bossman himself called in afterwards (he can see the orders on his computer) to basically give me a slap on the back via phone. Still, it was one of the worst moment of my so-called career so far and I'll never ever ever again and -
*deep breath*
Thennn when the customers left I commenced to work on their order and found out it's possible to cut yourself in the fingers with a screwdriver, twice for good measure. Shaky hands and trying to remove tightly set staples from embroidery frame are a bad combo. Thank everything tomorrow's Friday already. -.-;
