She Made Her Mark - Day Three

This is just barely the beginning of Day Three. By the end of the day this waste basket will be full to overflowing.

Since none of the packaging is light enough to go through the shredder my husband has decided on a novel way to foil the identity thieves.

Take the big kitchen garbage. Tear up all the envelopes manually as well as can be done. Then proceed through the house and the garden courtyard and the garage scooping cat litter boxes along the way. Tie the bag shut and leave for the garbage man.

See, you really did not need a shredder did you?

Today, although we spent eight hours we accomplished only eight percent of the work load. I am at fault. I mis-saved a database in an arcane Windows format. Normally my iMac will open and translate all of these. Nope, not this one. Searched and searched - even looking into iBackup to see if we could retrieve the file.

We would have saved a lot of time if we had just bitten our tongues and re-entered the data. The entry forms were easily available. The image files were separate and safe.

So, for this, not one of our better days, we add eight hours at $20 per hour for $160US. We're at 85% of the administrative work done. Our cost to date is $520. Once we have everything entered we will be a long, long way from being done.

Again, please remember the FiberArts Connection of Southern California. Without that organization there is no venue for the beginning artist to learn the ins and outs of entering professional exhibitions.

Oh, by the way, the few image files I have opened looking for detail shots, tell me there is NO WAY that this exhibition is anything but top notch professional. It's an amazing thing that is happening here. Very skilled artists with names no one has noticed publicly are producing very exciting work.
