  • Freelance costumer *waves*

    I freed myself from normal retail about five years ago, and now I make costumes for a living. I answer to no one, so I have some freedom in telling off idiots. But there are some downsides too. I can't pass off some particular idiocy on anybody else, for example. But by and large it's an awesome job.

    I specialize in making mascot suits, so I work with the furry fandom a lot. Contrary to certain sensationalist rumors, most of my customers are really awesome people. But there are always a few bad apples, and BOY are some of them doozies. I'll probably be sharing a few of my stories shortly. Thought I'd come and say "hi" first though. *waves hi*

    Sounds like you've got a great job! Are you hiring?
    I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

      He he he. There are days when I wish I could! But I think having employees would actually increase my workload. The one attempt I made to sub-contract some things out, I ended up having to re-do everything anyhow.

        Welcome to Customer's Suck.



        I'm in the process of moving away from the brain dead idiots and getting a much bigger paycheck myself.

        You're not the only one here associated with the "furry" fandom.

          Thanks for the wecome, Blue. *grins* I'm painting your horns right now, funnily enough. Unless there are two Blue Dragons out there who just got their Cisco certifications, which would be an entertaining coincidence. Small world, isn't it?

            That would be me.
            I just started earning Cisco certifications. I have a few more I'm working on right now.
            Anyone who tries to go for any Cisco Certifications will fully understand what a "hard test" is after taking one of those tests.
