Week 4

These last couple of weeks just seem to fly by, knowing that we’re nearing the end of our Senior Project is surprising. It feels like my weeks seem to blur together, already forgetting my first couple weeks as a new face in the shop. I’ve found my place amongst all the artists- being here long enough to joke, tease and laugh with everyone like we’re close friends. There is still a level of professionalism in the building but nothing even close to how it is in any past jobs I’ve worked. No one seems to care here, it would be a stretch to say we’re ”like one big family” because it doesn’t feel forced, It’s like we’re all friends. I’ve gotten used to clocking in at 10:30am to clean, sweep, sanitize, and schedule any media posts for the first few hours only to leave the rest of my shift to whatever I desire. I draw for most of my time, interact with the guests and become a middle man of sorts (I’m who the artists go to when they need something in the shop that Chelsea needs to order or needs to be communicated with her.) The level at which they trust me is astounding- the owner included. In the second week Chelsea had given me a key to the shop, a shocking action because only a few artists in the shop have a key.
