_ass kissing field?

I free lance occasionally in the surrounding states (make up) and I feel like I sell a part of me every time I get off the phone with a job.

I only free lance to maintain connections. I just kind of feel like I am kissing major _ass all the time when I take these jobs.

I have a huge gig this weekend and I might have to medicate to get through it. I just feel like jabbing people's eyeballs out with a #266 brush when I am done.

 

I guess this is more of a vent but I hope that I am not the only one that feels that they are about 90% all show when working and really never show your true colors!

I work in a doctors office, there are some patients that annoy and piss me off soooo bad, but I can't say anything to them. I have to be polite and smile. It totally blows.

I won't do a wedding for under $250 anymore. EVER. I can take a bride for $250 mouthing off and being an _ass even her orange glow but for under that I bail!

I used to sell wedding gowns.  I used to feel like I needed a shower just b/c I had so much fake going on, I felt dirty.

Note - i got married in vegas.  now you know why ;-)

I'm pretty sure 100% of corporate America involves kissing_ass at some point. I'm a consultant; you bet your sweetass that I have to kiss_ass to get jobs.  I figure as long as I'm not blowing the guy in charge of contracts and not doing anything unethical, it's part of the job and I complain to DH and drink!

LOL!  believe it or not, it's not always the bride that needs the ass-kissing. sometimes it's the tempermental photographer, or sensitive musician. I swear, no one can ever tell me that I don't "use" my BS in Psych!

p.s. I always envy the makeup artists & stylists - they get to leave before all the real chaos begins!

I worked for a 100-year-old small company in a small town...I kissed more ass than I can even count and no one EVER knew the real me. It was hard when I became a SAHM because I felt like I had sort of lost myself in my job and had no idea who I was anymore!
