Cut it out, will you?

Will people just stop getting married already?

It was so weird to come across pictures of a wedding online that years and years and years ago I may have once sat with the bride, dreaming about that day so distant in the future as scrawny (well, I was, anyway) little girls do.

There are two weddings I'm going to this month. One more in September and another in November. There's at least going to be two more next year. Though I guess if I want to compare anything, that wedding schedule is nothing compared to years ago when I did 12 in 10 months. Is it selfish to say that there's one I'm looking forward to more than all the rest, and it isn't even on the radar yet?
...

So I made the mistake of offering my limited graphic and layout abilities to a few parties in the last little while. Of the three parties, one I can handle; they understand I have my own life, that some graphic designs can be limiting, and that things take time. But they appreciate my assistance. The other parties are driving me nuts.

They're either not paying me, or not paying me enough. They expect immediate turnaround times when the project is asked of the night before. They have no clue what sort of time and effort to into projects like these. They have zero knowledge of what they want, or how they had it done before.

They don't know it, but I've quietly boycotted their work for a week now. Do I feel bad? Not really. But seriously, some people are going to get some EMAILS soon.
...

14 days until I stop mucking around and 17 days until I really get down to business (hopefully).
