still waiting…

December 7, 2006, Nik

and still no package.

I swear I’m not going to be able to get anything done for Craftacular…
had a photoshoot today and I’m battling a stomach virus. I literally was in the bathroom indisposed at my shoot and decided that I needed to go home. I came out of the bathroom and my art director looks at me (it’s very obvious that I was just sick) and says, “Can you go to the office and resew one of the dresses for the shoot next week?”

Now… I know that sometimes things come in for the magazine that are a bit…subpar and I end up having to remake things, but…c’mon. I’m such a sucker though that I just went back to the office and fixed the dress. I need to learn how to say no.
