Oregon scrapbook convention
Mar 20
This weekend was CRAZY. I worked the scrapbook convention for two days. I got up on Friday morning and was at SBA (Scrapbook Attack) by 8 am. Then I had to drive to the convention center on the other side of town to work at the convention until 6 pm. I figured I’d have fun and it would be hard?. I just didn’t know how much of both. I was working in the booth and trying to get people to stop. I always get that job because according to Sam and Sheri, I’m good at that. So people would be walking by and I’d say something like, “Have you heard about the great deals at Scrapbook Attack today?”. People would then stop and I’d make my sales pitch to them and encourage them to stop, buy or at the very least check things out. I had a great time doing it but it was hard to be “on” for 8 hours. After working the convention until 5 pm I had to drive to the store and work the crop until midnight. It was such a long day I was so glad when it was time to go home. Saturday was the same thing, up early, work like crazy and then drive over to the store to work until midnight. By Saturday night I was so tired I couldn’t see straight. I couldn’t believe I’d done it to myself, deprived myself of a weekend and sleep for what? helping out some great people. Sometimes I have such a hard time saying no to people. I’m never going to do that again.
The good news is that I don’t have to work Saturday nights anymore. Now I’m just working Sundays noon to 5 pm which is great. It still gives me a weekend and a break but I still get in a few hours to help feel the scrapbook habit.
