I'm Paying for it.....

I know it's karma. Bad karma. I hope it doesn't last. I guess I need to change my attitude and fast.

I work on Wednesdays and Fridays and every other weekend at this hospital baby photo place. I would like to work two days in a row. Because if I carry over some moms who don't want pictures the day Im' here, and I KNOW they want to buy something, I'm screwed. And that's what happened Wednesday. I lost about $250 in sales because one mom wasn't even in the room and the other mom INSISTED she wasn't getting photos with the baby's eyes closed (well, the baby's eyes did not open for the other photographer either, but somehow she ordered with her BIOTCH!). Now I couldn't do much about the mom who was gone for xrays I mean I couldn't wait ALL day. But that was a $200 order, DAMN!

Sooooooo, the "other" photographer got $500+ in sales yesterday while I only made a measly $178. Karma I tell ya.

Lately the joy of photographing is being dampened by the lack of communication with "new" management and the fact that they are pushing us to photograph even though I know moms will not buy, which takes up my time and doesn't get me any money (commission is based on sales only, not how many babies we photograph, so what's the incentive if mom says she won't buy but I can take the photo?).

I need some good karma. I need an attitude adjustment. I need to get back to work.......
