I hate it when people expect me to be proffesional.
What triggered it now?
Well... a girl messages me on a different website, right? Wanting me to do photos for her costume designs.
So, I say sure... I give her my number. Told her that I wasn't available on Sundays and weekdays for photos until summer.
She texts me asking me if I was available on the 24th. I thought "yeah, ok. That's a Saturday" but then I realized my sister's bridal shower was then and I would be in Utah. So I told her sorry and that I wasn't available.
She asks if I am anytime during the week before the 24th.
I said no, because of finals. (most of you understand that)
She asks if I am available tomarrow.
I said no because I have already made plans. (should be understandable since it's the day before, right?)

She gets upset and says "All day? I only need one hour."
I say that where I have to go is over 30 minutes from where I live. That would be me spending over two hours for her.
She comes back with "I work in Littleton and it takes me 15 to get there."
Me: Littleton is a big place. Plus is depends on traffic.
Her: Well most photographers would travel. Thanks anyways.
Me: Sorry, people don't usually expect me to act proffessional. Photography is my hobby, not a job.
Her: Ok, I'm over it. I said thanks.
Me: Please don't text me again and delete me from your contacts if you're going to be rude to me because I don't fit your schedual. I'm busy. That's all there is to it.
Her: I stopped texting you 10 minutes ago. Please stop texting me. You are annoying.
Me: Wow. for someone who is 24 years old, you're pretty immature for making comebacks to someone who is still in high school. Have a nice life- I hope your patience improves.
Her: You are harassing me. I said lose my number. Are you fuckin' slow?
Me: I already told you that too. Looks like it takes one to know one.

sdkfhdsgkjdfg I wanna slap people across the face sometimes. But I can't. Because they're miles somewhere else and the phone/computer is in the way.

Why do people expect me to have art deadlines when they're not even paying for it? When did I become people's art slave?
When I am doing something for someone for free, I expect them to not have to worry about when it's going to be done or when I can be there for them.
I got a life too.
I have things to worry about too.
I can't make the world spin or make everyone happy.


I don't expect people to always fit my schedual.
I don't expect people to be done on a deadline.
I don't expect people to be there for me always.
At least I don't lead people on to thinking that I got everything under control. At least I don't give you hope and then crush it. At least I don't promise things that I can't keep. At least I don't lie about what's worth your money.

Shit, I don't even charge anyone for anything. ESPECIALLY for photography. I've charged only a couple times for my art- and even then the people I charged didn't care when it'd be done or how I did it. As long as I got it done.


When I become proffessional.... when I start getting paid to be there on time and to travel for you... when I get paid to get off of my ass to do work for you and I don't do what we agreed on- THATS WHEN YOU CAN THROW A FIT. That's when you can yell about me about what I did wrong. That's when you can fire me, not pay me, tell me we're done, tell me that I'm annoying, that's when you have the right to be angry at me over art.

I don't need another impatient snob on my ass right now.
Thanks.
