Getting to work on set pieces helps business, but it amps up the pressure. I keep telling myself I'm good enough. My work speaks for itself. It doesn't matter I'm not a genius on art history. There are a thousand things to say to make it all seem okay to be a guy who sells to a Hollywood set.

I'm not usually a guy lacking confidence.

Guess it all comes down to how much something means to me as to how much I care about the rest of the world's opinion.

No. No we are not dressing up the animals at the zoo for Halloween.

What the Hell?

I'm getting told I'm not encouraging a "kid-friendly atmosphere" because I think dangerous animals deserve respect. Getting dressed up is something a person gets a choice in. How am I supposed to ask a wild cat if it wants to wear a costume? One roar for no? Two for yes?

Give me a break, people.

The only thing that annoys me more when I'm shopping than a male store clerk ignoring me for some guy - is when it's a female store clerk. I was standing at the counter box in hand waiting to make my purchase and the girl looked right past me to ask the guy standing in line behind me if he'd found everything he was looking for and was ready to check out. Then she stopped in the middle of ringing me up to go talk to a guy who'd walked in the door and ask if she could help him find anything. I would have reported her to the manager except - she was the store manager.

I decided I didn't like those shoes that much anyway which leaves me in the same position I was in before going into the store. Anyone on here know of a shoe store that isn't staffed by complete assholes people like that?
