Ok, because there is viratully no where else to vent, and I doubt anyone is reading this forum at this point, here I go:I think I hate quilting. I'm not sure if it's the exacting fiddliness of it all or if I am just not that into sewing machines (hand sewing? Hell yes!) but today was a total piss off in every way.1. On the bus to the work room a woman with her headphones on whistled all the way from Bloor to Queen St West, along Lansdowne. But not along with the music she was listening to, oh no, that would make too much sense, just one note over and over again, toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot 2. I couldn't get the zig zag correct on the machine I always use and had to get help twice. It makes me feel totally stupid and I hate that. Then the tension was wrong and my fabric was bunching up in an ugly, hateful way, so I needed help again. 3. And then ironing and did I mention I hate ironing?4. Then the sewing machine I always use died. Literally. It was smelling funny, burny maybe, but I thought that maybe it had been freshly oiled, it was working fine, chugging along and then nothing. Motor gonzo, sorry Karyn. That's a $1300.00 Bernina, if you were wondering.5. Switched to a fancier machine ($3000.00 Bernina, fucking EEK!)that is all computerized and it was a clusterfuck for a bit, fiddling fiddling fiddling and then it was working and boy howdy, I want THAT machine, srsly, but sadly, I ran out of time. I got about a third of what needed to be done finished. Not one block is done completely. And I work tomorrow, training a new employee and again on Thursday (which I don't normally work) and then directly to my class Thursday night where I will have the complete lack of joy announcing my complete lack of doneness. This from the woman who only works 7 hours a week. Ugh.I suck.
