A picture I made...A story about my life (BORING)...possible fanfic-ness and Sewing WIP (bonus cosplay update)

Ok, so the first picture of Jack Spicer....is an edit I did of the second picture. I'm sure you all want an explanation for this foolishness, and believe me there is one!

Here's how the story goes. This week at work I was scheduled to work a total of 13 hours, a schedule I LOVED because I still have a lot to get done on our Winx Club cosplays. This week, I worked at least 26 hours or so...TWICE as much as I was scheduled to....because I'm too nice to say no. And the last two days were murder. I worked a morning shift for a coworker who took my shift, since his mom was in the hospital...and then the closer for that night called in sick, and we asked my sister Ami to come in and close. She said yeah and we thought everything would be cool. THEN IT HAPPENED. We were hit hard with a rush...just two employees in the entire store, my self and a guy about my age named Josh. We had a line winding around the establishment, our vault was broken so we couldn't get change out of it (we had to go to the office and get it out of a bag and what not), our card reader was taking 40 second to load....something in back was leaking/flooding....and it went on link this from 11AM (I got there at 10) until 4 PM, when Josh was scheduled to leave, and Ami was supposed to show up. Just then, Ami calls. She can't find her uniform shirt...and before I can beg Josh to stay until she does find it, he's out the back door, leaving me all alone, as 20 more people flood the store. (COULDN"T MAKE THIS UP IF I TRIED). So here I am...trying my best until one of my other co-workers, a girl named Ashley shows up on her day off for food, sees me flailing around trying to please everyone, and she like an angel from the heavens joins me. 20 mins later, Ami arrives and I finish off the last ten minutes of my shift. At 5 I RAN.

Then yesterday, I was scheduled a 5-10 shift, an easy five hours, but at 4, the closer, a lady named Leah calls me...She's sick and wants to know if I can take her shift. She says she'll make it up to me...so I say (irritatedly) yeah, fine. I go in, thinking it will be fine. NOPE The people I'm working with are both gonna be gone by 8, and we close at midnight. OH!! And there's a basketball tournament in town, so we're busy as all get out, and I'm facing four hours alone later that night. The first guy leaves at 7, his names Elijah. Elijah's a cool dude, loves anime and stuff, says' he's got a martial arts class at the local gym, but he'll come back and help out. I thank him soooo much, and get back to work with the other guy (a dude I really don't like), and the other guy leaves at eight. I manage to get all caught up, and serve maybe two people, then a group of 6 come in, and I'm patiently serving them, while mentally screaming, and I hear the back door, and Elijah's voice say WOAH. Thankfully he came back like he promised and we get all caught up again. It dies down by ten and you're all wondering what this has to do with the picture. Well, Ami and I sometimes text each other Role-playing as Jack and Chase. I get a text from her saying "you all right, Spicer?" and I send back "no, Chase, I haven't eaten since 3 and the radio's out...it's creepy here." she sends back with "want me to show?" I say yeah, and as I'm serving another customer, in she comes with her video games and awesomeness. She kept me company the whole night talking about how much it sucks working at Subway and how it would be if Jack worked there. Then she says, "we should write a fanfic about it! We could go all in detail about how much it fucking sucks!" and we talked about that all night until I finally got to go home at about 12:40. So today, I sat down and made a "cover" so to speak for our fanfic. LONG STORY OVER

And now you know what the "possible fanfic-ness" mentioned in the title is. I'll probably post the chapters on here as I finish them with a title letting you all know that the whole post will be a fanfic. That way if you're not interested, you can ignore it.

To go along with this Jack themed post, here's more WIP of my Jack pattern

I got up to his shoulder/elbow blocked out and almost stitched!

Brief Cosplay update and then I'm done I promise! Tecna has a purple bodysuit now she just needs the white, her shoes, and her wings, my brother's Stella cosplay is done, Darkar just needs his torso sanded/painted and some bones made onto his shirt, Musa just needs her wings finished up and her shirt and tummy cover made, and then we'll be ready for Torii-con which is in just 18 days!
