Complicated EMERGENCY rush order. (+ some life stuff?)
12 years ago
Hello guys.
I am in a really complicated pickle. I am currently working part-time at a bookstore and making minimum wage, which is netting me less than $30 a day. Literally. But the work is hard enough and emotionally straining enough that it's hard for me to come home and get work done here, even though, when business is up on this end of things, I make more per day working on commissions than I do at this stupid job.
I've been there less than a month, I desperately want to quit. Like cold-turkey quit, stop showing up sort of thing. I am angry at my managers and my coworkers and I just don't have it in me psychologically anymore. It's exacerbating my mental health issues and I was so much happier doing this, and now that I'm feeling physically healthier again (not at 100% but definitely operating at a reasonable capacity, able to get work done, able to focus, not feeling sick all day, not feeling exhausted all day [unless I've worked lol]) I can get work done here like I used to. I've finished up some projects I'll be posting in a couple of hours tonight and I'm feeling GOOD about commissions again, after a really long time of feeling too tired to put as much work into them as I used to.
ANYWAY, to make matters MORE complicated I just realized that Anthrocon opened up reservations for dealer's tables, and Anthrocon is one of the most lucrative events of the year for me and it winds up sustaining my partner and I for a couple of months every year, and I am making so little money that I literally cannot afford to pay for the table and registration right now and I am afraid of them filling up before I can earn the money I need.
So, anyway, FA: here is my goal. I am really really hoping to make $150 within the next 24 hours, through some rush order/s. I am willing to make almost any character or design (I'll let you know if your design is okay when you contact me -- basically very complicated designs [and certain features like wings and heavy spotting/striping/etc.] may not be possible in this time frame, clothing will not be possible as a given) -- I'm either taking 2 small slots (of $75 each) or one medium slot for the full $150 guaranteed to be finished and mailed within the next 36 hours (extra half a day given to compensate for Sunday not being a mailing day, haha).
I've basically told myself that once I get this/these slot/s filled I'll allow myself to quit that hellhole and also sign up for next year's Anthrocon.
If I get more people interested in these slots than there are slots available (like three people want a small, or someone wants a medium and two people want a small or something) then I can put the last person to make a request on hold and if I am able to get to your slot I will let you know and you can send payment then.
Anyway, that's basically it. If you have any questions let me know.
SMALL SLOT 1 of 2 TAKEN.

Best of luck!
If that sounds alright it'd be ($85 [sorry a bit extra shipping to Canada, int'l shipping is so stupid now]) to grey.wombat.designs[at]gmail.com. Please note your username and a description of your order in the memo. :) (Oh and make sure your address is listed too, sometimes people accidentally forget to note it and then I'm about to leave to go mail and there's a delay because I have to ask for their addyyyy.)
