Um, I'm having a not so great day today, so it's hard to think of a ton of stuff that makes me happy.
Let's see- Oh, I registered my business! I'm official now. I've never been so excited to pay taxes in my life. I decided on Golden Paisley Photography. The thought of being called Kathy DeeShung was just too much.
I've also gotten about 5 referrals from people. 3 have turned into real-paying-official-clients. WOWZA!
I'm feeling less and less enthused about my actual day job. I was never gung-ho about it, but now that photography is picking up, I'm finding myself more and more lazy about my job. It's not good. I forgot to do something semi-critical to the success of a project yesterday and I got scolded this morning for it. I totally have my tail between my legs and I hate that feeling. It's hard to give something 100% or even like 60% (let's be honest) when your heart's not really in it.
Plus it kind of felt like the "memo" scene from Office Space... It's not that the system doesn't work, it's just that I forgot... again, it's just that I forgot!

Hang in there! Hopefully your business will pick up soon and you can quit your day job!
I'm glad that you went with a name that makes you happy, or at least happier than the prospect of people mispronouncing your name(s) for the rest of your life.
Office jobs=Boo unless you happen to be pretty passionate about what you're doing. End of story. I hope the water flows under the bridge fast so that you don't have to feel like your tail is between your legs for long.
