I always start my day with a plan, somedays the plan works, other days it goes to hell in a hand basket. Well today is a hand basket day.
Plan, go to camera store to pick up lights, and transparency film. Reality is that people actually get days off on long weekends when there boss isn’t me. So a trip to the other end of the earth resulted, in me finding out that this is the only day that the store is closed. Other than Christmas Day and New Years Day. Dammit!
Fine enact Plan B, I heard that the Art store had some original Goddard paintings. Cool. Gotta go look, and snap some pics. With my trust iPhone I go, his stuff is hella cool. For those of you who don’t know his work, it always includes olives and martini glasses. Snap a couple pics with the iPhone and… nothing. Seems that the phone apps no longer wish to function. Typically, another stop that I will revisit, due to technical difficulties.
Plan C – go to Staples and get a few magazine boxes. Sold out of the kind I like but you can buy these other ones for 5 times the price. No thanks.
Plan D – get the screens burnt for the new shirts and get printing. Seeing with no lights I am not setting up for photos today. Partial success. I realize that my squeegees are smaller than the design. I need larger one, guess what my supplier is closed.
This goes down as a poor day at best, but lessoned learned. Sometimes I should just take a day off, like everyone else.
