Laughing at my own jokes...
The best thing about working at Wallack's Art Supplies is that sometime I find leftover sale stickers on myself and I get to think yes today I might be worth 80 cents, but by tomorrow I might be worth $2.99!
Hey you guys...
To all my art peeps currently in Ottawa, I know it's hella expensive to buy art supplies so I thought I should let everyone know that Wallack's is having a sale with 10% off of EVERYTHING in the store(when I say everything I mean everything). Also each day there is one brand that is 20% off, but it changes daily. Just thought I should let you all know!
Wallack's was fun so far
but I'm not used to standing for 7hours so my legs don't agree with me. Also the cash is not so terrifying.
GUESS WHO GOT EMPLOYED
This girl right here. I start working at Wallack's art supplies tomorrow! :)
I forgot to ask how many hours I'll have weekly, and how much I get payed per hour... they offered me the job right then and there so I panicked and just said yes haha. Oops. But at least I know a lot of things about all the products already so I don't feel to freaked out or anything.
I spent the day with Daniel today after a long time. We woke up late enough to skip breakfast and eat lunch right away, and rushed out the door so we did not waste any more of our afternoon. Our first stop was the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, which is an art gallery here on campus. We looked through all of the current displays, but felt that the gallery was not very well ventilated and left quickly. Our favourite piece of art was this chess set from the late 19th or early 20th century assumed to be from either Alaska or Nunavut, and we left a note inspired by this piece in the gallery's guestbook. We happened to leave the gallery just as the bus going downtown arrived, so we got on and made our way there. I took quick snapshots as we walked along to meet up with Grace (one of my friends that Daniel had not met). She met us at the intersection outside of her apartment building and we had a nice conversation about everything going on in our lives and laughed at how there were so many cars turning in on her driveway right when we chose to stand there, even though there usually weren't any. By the time we had finished talking to Grace, Daniel and I were both very hungry. We walked over to a pizza place and placed an order for a pizza with mushrooms, tomatoes, and hot peppers on it. While the pizza was being made, we went next door to the local art store, and Daniel bought some pens that he found a good deal on while I took more pictures. We came back to the pizza place just in time to get our pizza, and we ate standing up at the counter by the window. We used to eat lunch while looking out of a window in one of our high school hallways every day, so it was nice to return to something similar. I ate all of Daniel's crusts because he was too hungry to bother with them, and we saved the last slice of pizza for later. For the evening, we went to Minotaur, a local games and gifts shop that holds a free board game night on Thursdays and Sundays. We played a game of Carcassonne, which I won (making Daniel just a little bit unhappy). After I took a few more pictures outside of Minotaur, we took the bus home thinking about eating the cookies we had baked the day before. The day felt warm, in spite of it being a day we spent outside in February frost.
