I'm BACK, baby!

Holy crap, is it Monday already?!?!?

Opening weekend of NYRF went very well. I was a little worried, since this is the first time I'll be working full time AND doing faire, but I think I can pull it off.

I sold ninety one roses on Saturday, and made an absoulte KILLING in tips. Over half of my customers tipped me, even 'danes! It rocked!

I was SO SORE afterwards, but I still managed to drag myself out of bed to do it all again Sunday.

Sunday was not as good, rose-wise. I only did sixty four, and Liz beat me. :P It was like "Attack of the Zombie Patrons." I'd try to sell someone a rose, they'd glance at my basket and keep on walking. Seriously, people. Get a dictionary. Look up "audience participation," then come back.

I have no clue how much I made in tips Sunday, because I'm a spaz and I left my money pouch back in the rose garden, and didn't realize until I got home. I'm lucky [livejournal.com profile] euph0ra loves me. She found it and is keeping it safe for me.

I think I might start keeping track of my sales in Excel, because that would be neat. Does anyone know of a computer program that would allow me to make a line graph from data I enter?

It's a little strange this year. There's a lot that's different. The new pub is BEEEEEEEEE-YOU-TEEEE-FUL! Unfortunately, Lunde's looks really sad and lonely, especially without [livejournal.com profile] toosha and [livejournal.com profile] priestesm and the rest of the crazy crew. I MISS YOU GUYS!! Who am I supposed to randomly pop in on when I'm bored now???

Starfire has some especially shiny new limited edition pieces. [livejournal.com profile] aziraphalesshop is the bestest best boyfriend in the multiverse, because he's spending too much money on me and buying me the cresent ladies' dagger, and getting wrapped in purple leather. ::swoon:: Love you baby!

Starr Faerie, the lady who makes my wings, has mysteriously disappeared this year. I NEED new wings, and the ones they're selling back by chessboard, although very pretty, don't look like they'd hold up to the every day rigors of being a rose girl. Fortunately, I got a super-secret lead about a super-secret person from a super-secret friend, and next weekend I shall be acquiring new wings which, according to the super-secret friend, will be absolutely GORGEOUS. I'm excited.

I'm also thinking of new costume pieces. I'm getting a little sick of the whole bodice thing. Moresca makes a half bodice, but I don't want to pay that much for it, considering I only paid seventy five for mine. Liz has one that she doesn't wear anymore, so she's bringing it in next week for me to try on. If it fits, I'm buying it off of her. If not, I'll look into leather. I want to be able to move and breathe better some days, you know?

The back of my hand got sunburnt. Only one hand, though. How annoying is that?

Ahh, well. Lunch is almost over. Back to the grindstone!

You can do it all with just Excel. Put your data table together and then do Insert, Chart and select line graph from the list... the rest it walks you through.

Excel Wizard.

Thank you Middle School Computer Class.

[identity profile] priestesm.livejournal.com 2006-08-07 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
here's a great opportunity for you to learn some more, with something non-urgent and relatively simple!

[identity profile] blueyz72.livejournal.com 2006-08-07 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You can use Excel, but I just learned how to do that this summer again (yep I graduated that long agon didn't learn in college) OR go online and search for create a graph and will bring to another usable website

not that i usually promote other businesses, (haha), but the moresca half bodices are only $45. stacey went in and looked for you and thinks maybe you read the wrong sign. i love you and thanks for getting gordon down on one knee for me. :)

Even though you were walking, I know you can still fly.

Hey precious, glad you did well on Saturday. Sunday was weird - the faire was dead but the Boar was still mobbed. Huh.

I'm friending you now that I've figured out who you are. Come to the Boar on Saturday and we'll send anonymous roses with random explicit messages just to mess with people.

I really need a hobby.

If you want, I'll show you how to use Excel tomorrow night.. I'm more or less an Excel God, thanks to the 6 years of grad school.

And I'm sorry about my little hex.. seems i cursed you into second place on Sunday. I promise I'll remove it. Back to the top of the rose girls for Bubbles!

Satuday I was in Brooklyn b/c 2 of my cousins turned 80 this year. And Sunday I was at work.

Given that I'm usually scheduled on weekends, I'm not sure if I'm going to make it up at all this year.

How do you think I feel?
