(IMAGE COPYRIGHT MARGOT POTTER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!)I've been moving into a new category at QVC. It makes sense since I'm a crafty gal to be selling novelties and toys, so it's a good fit. Plus I'm a big kid at heart and now that my kid is getting bigger, I'll still have an excuse to have toys around. And yes, I still get as excited about them as I did when I was five. Tee hee.
I had to get up at 4am to get ready to go on air this morning with an adorable set of three Disney Themed storybook pillows and I just got back home after stopping for some blood tests on the way home. This is the second time I've met up with a grumpy phlebotomist. Though I understand that it stinks to be overworked, underpaid and understaffed...I'm just a gal who hates needles and has to get this dang test done for my doctor. I don't really want to hear about how much your job sucks the entire time I'm giving you my blood and I really don't want to be jabbed extra hard with a huge needle merely because you're disgruntled. Is it just me?
Aren't you all glad I've blathered on about how much my blood tests sucked? Just be glad I don't have a needle...I'm just sayin'...
I promised to announce the winner of the Totally Creative subscription! Erin Prais-Hintz of Tesori Trovati...email me and I'll connect you with the folks from the e-zine! Congratulations!
So after no sleep and the aforementioned evil needle jabbing...this little piggy is taking a well earned nap. Until next time...craft on with your bad selves.
xoxo

Haven't we all had that experience? If not from a needle-sticking slug, then from other people who hate their jobs and infuse it into your day.
Doesn't cheerfulness go a long way? You're a cheerful kinda gal! And YAY, you for expanding into new arenas with QVC! :-) H.
Woohoo! (For being the winner, not for dealing with needles!)
Thanks so much for picking me Miss Madge! I am excited.
I will shoot you an email!
Enjoy the day!

Margot, you need to complain about the grumpy phlebotomist! I use to draw blood as part of my job & it is never right to let your negativity come out when with patients. I hate to hear this as they are our front door to the public & if people think all lab workers are like this, then it reflects so bad on the rest of us. If it was me drawing your blood, I would've made you laugh...that works better than complaints.

Hali! Yes, it's true. Plus we've all dealt with grumpy customers. I felt bad for her right up until she jabbed me!
Erin
Congrats!
Cheers,
Madge

Well every bunch has a bad apple or two, I wouldn't judge the entire group based on one or two grumps. I bet you're wonderful with patients!
Cheers,
Madge
I will look for you on QVC. I am taking your class on Sunday in NJ. Do I need to bring any materials?
