Moving...

My blog has moved to: http://tiialinartcraftdesign.blogspot.com... This is also doubling as my online spot until I have my full site ready! Thanks for stopping by and I see you there!

Where have I been?

I'm asking this because I'm not quite sure myself. There have been a lot of issues at work, I'm behind in my craft.. although I don't put deadlines on myself... I feel like I haven't accomplished much. Add to that the dwindling faith I have in my 'new' management and a lack of funds... all this leads to me now taking my first out of state trip to work. Am I nervous... you bet, but not for the reasons you may think. I've never been away from both my husband and my daughter. I've been one without the other... but not both. It's scary to leave them.

I live on tips

You know, TIPS.... To Insure Proper Service. So why do people come to my bar and make me work for nothing? No tips, they just get want a free show. I don't get paid just for showing up. Imagine you're boss coming up to you and saying, 'I want you to do your job, but I'm not going to pay you for it, I just want to watch.' And you are supposed to be okay with that. Yeah, you might know how I feel. I know money is tight, but that doesn't mean you should stiff anyone who makes their living of tips... from waitress to dancer, anywhere.
