If Your Request Was Cancelled...

Too bad ... that's it... Ha!

... But seriously, I'm an idiot.

I spent all day, yesterday trying to organize and consolidate my waiting lists(holy crap... my brain is fried). The plan was to start touching base with clients today to gauge wait times. We have some new software to help sort stuff out and obviously, I'm still learning how to use it. I was temporarily marking them as "cancelled" in order to sort out my list for printing and had no idea that it was sending out email notifications(lots of folks emailing me now...lol... oops!). Sorry, if you've been patiently waiting and felt like I just dumped you... that was not my intention. All requests are still in the system.

I "cancelled" MANY order requests before the emails started rolling in... man, do I feel awful. AND only the people who have been waiting the longest got them first... PLEASE FORGIVE my incompetency when it comes to figuring out this new software (that is supposed to help)... gah!

Looks like I MAY be closing my books to NEW requests at some point but it will be made official if I do. It'll allow me to catch up. I am gearing up to start teaching classes and workshops in the near future, which I have very much been aching to do ... but that also means production will be cut back. Some clients have been wait a LOOONG time... and I don't want the backlog to jump another year or two.

Once I figure out how to clone myself(successfully), though...

AND so as not to leave without showing something. Here are a few of the latest to leave the shop...

I feel ya, brother. Curious- what do you do with the rejects? I'm running out of options, the barrels of acid out back are a little too conspicuous and the neighbours are starting to talk about 'the smell'. I mean, it's not what they'd think or anything- it's just aborted clones- but I just don't need the heat right now. I just need to get ONE working and I'm good to go. Any advice?
 
I finally got a big ol' dry erase board, conspicuously located right in front of my face in he workshop, and it's helped me a LOT.
 
You're doing it wrong.


Get one of these - don't even need to break the carcasses down into smaller pieces, but you do have to hose the disposal system down periodically...

I've been waiting for a knife from Rick for EIGHTEEN YEARS. *


Also, 'incompetency' isn't even a real word. Such incompetence... :confused:



*Not really.

The last one was given an old iPhone, taught how to "ask Siri" and sent out the door. I last saw him walking out of Starbucks dressed in tweed, with a perfectly groomed beard and a Bowler hat... what a failure.

AHA! Now I know how you close the deal Joe - you pull out the Smatchet, then the paperwork......the client signs the paperwork more quickly out of stark terror. :D

that explains a lot. A bunch of em must have figured out how to get to the west coast, cuz they're all over the place. I've never seen a dog as an investment, but thanks to Matt, my eyes have been opened! Thanks buddy
