Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

**Nomad** · 07-14-2018, 05:46 AM

This is very upsetting to hear. I am trying to keep a positive outlook on the situation myself. I believe it helps.
I drank too much wine last night with my new friend. I woke up in her bed this morning. I am not sure I got very much rest last night. I might take half a day off today?
I sold a spin station and two key rings last night. I gave my friend a large sherlock bubbbler in jade green, her favorite color, and it might have been the last foggy memmorie I have of last night. That thing hits so nice.
No one could believe I sold them for less than $20 either. But yeah I make a thick bubbler and I sell them for $13.50. I charge $20-$35 hour materials included. I can't keep up with the demand right now either.

Some of your spoons have a nice shape but you are right. They are all clear fumed. I think they would give you like $3.50 each around here for them though.
THey are nice though.

$80 for a sidecar bubbler like that is really good price. I sell mine for $12.50 and they are full color wrap and rake.
This is just my critique also. Nothing personal or anything. I used to have to do a lot of critique in art school.

**Swim** · 07-14-2018, 09:22 AM

these are already sold. I have to do this one often enough that I would not take anymore orders. and my distributor gets 7.50 for them, dont be jealous bro, dont be mad your fucking yourself. I am gonna get 15$ a piece for those wrap and wrakes son, and they are sold as well. The hammer bubblers I actually sell for 10$ , they are cheaper than they look. THere is a reason I have considered selling your glass on many occasions, even if your shapes are not to stylin, your prices are undercutting the market. I know your undercutting the market because I stay in biz by undercutting glassx and shit. Nomad world is not the real world.

at least I am now followed by muph on insta cheers everyone

**Nomad** · 07-14-2018, 09:59 AM

Yeah my spoons are $12-$15 from distributor actually. $25 bubblers too.
Most they will pay. They gave me the price to begin with.

I get $11 a ornament from a moderator on this site. Sold a lot last month too.

**Nomad** · 07-15-2018, 05:18 AM

I guess the point is that you should stick it out . I was thinking about becoming a chef last year. I’m happy I didn’t try. The past year was great and had a lot of changes.

**Nomad** · 07-16-2018, 09:49 AM

I got another side job. 30 minutes lawn mowing for $25. My neighbor hurt his back and needs my help.
It’s a chore but money.

**PyroChixRock** · 07-16-2018, 01:16 PM

and this allows you to keyboard vomit all over it?

**Nomad** · 07-17-2018, 03:14 AM

keyboard vomit huh? Well I will add you should go swimming after glassblowing all day in the heat. It is amazing!!! I got to go in my friends pool last night after work. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

A lot of us sell to that store, it does not buy anyone special treatment. This just makes her look bad when she doesn't deserve that.

Nomad this is what I keep trying to explain to you. Do you see anyone else posting a ton of times in a row? This is called shitty forum etiquette and if you're going to participate here you need to get on board with how things work. I imagine your parents taught you to have good manners right? Proper forum etiquette is how we show good manners online. Google it, and here's one from a quick search. read it. https://www.netmanners.com/658/messa...rum-etiquette/

We want to have you participate but not when you're upsetting others. I know you don't intend to but you need to understand that you are. I have been so very patient about this. Step it up and show us that you give a shit about our feelings and not just spamming your every thought. That's not how this works.

**Nomad** · 07-17-2018, 08:29 AM

I never said it did or implied that I got special treatment. I was saying she must have read it.

I am really too busy for this. I have a lot of work to do. It is a major distraction. Not to mention I have been using the site to communicate with people who have paid me in advance for my glass. So I get a lot of customers from this site.

I see as usual there are a lot of asshole glassblowers too. But I can just stop posting and only answer my messages.

You can see I obviously could care less. My infraction about Trump was real and he got elected afterwards. My infractions about weed are real and it is going to be legal very soon. This is rediculous to me.
