i genuinely feel far better after two days of driving and setting up and talking to strangers in the heat and tearing down and driving home. i didnt really even LET guy do most of the work.
on day 1 i felt bad, as i know i’m leaving and i wondered if he’d really be ok without me.
on day 2 i asked if i could have the table (he bought one for the occasion because our roommate’s table we were supposed to borrow was not in the garage fsr). he also told me he plans to never do an event outdoors again. so i feel a bit better.
if i’m no longer spending so much time at someone else’s job, i’d like to do more craft fair type shit. having my own table for the purpose seems like an ok deal. guy and other roommate can coordinate better, or guy can maybe get his job to buy one if he’s not doing it last minute.
i’ll probably have to leave something behind to make room for my new folding table in my car, but a folding table is multipurpose and collapsible, two of the best things anything can be. i might have to choose between desk and table. and table might win, despite the nostalgia factor of my oldest piece of furniture. with everything ive given away or traded or thrown out or replaced over the years, it might be the last original furniture from the load i brought with me in 2020.
it’s been really difficult lately to talk at events aimed at the disability community and i thought maybe i had become extremely shy, but i’m realizing it’s hard for me to come up with my own spiels for something i might know less about than the person im talking to. and i really shouldnt have to come up with them but guy cant seem to relate to me what we’re meant to be focusing on these days. what do you mean you don’t know what to talk about? it’s your job!
i also liked that it was so hot guy didnt even pretend to be working half the time. he just went inside an air conditioned building for like an hour at a time. so i got to read a lot when ir was slower.
i also liked that we got to know our stall neighbor over the two days.
