Diva Challenge 119: Ebony and Ivory

I am about to find myself back in the realm of full time employment! I'm basically waiting for my background check and drug test to go through and as long as those come back good (which they should!) then I will be getting an official offer!

I'm very excited about the new job, especially after my terrible week with retail customers. I had a customer yesterday that easily ranked within the top 3 worst customers I've ever dealt with. I have never had someone talk to me with such disdain and contempt over something so trivial. And I use to work for a background screening company where I talked to convicted criminals on a daily basis. None of them ever talked to me the way this rich, entitled bitch did. Sorry for my language but I'm still upset by the situation and I spent the better part of my day yesterday crying off and on. I usually have a fairly thick skin with customers but this lady somehow wormed her way around my barriers. Thankfully, drawing is always therapeutic for me. Below is both my challenge entry for Laura this week and the results of my at home therapy session with myself.


Instead of mirroring patterns I tried to keep the black/white ratio even as a whole piece. I saw a lot of entries using the mirroring technique though and they look really cool. I'm going to try that on my next piece.

    I really like your piece, it's lovely. Good luck with your new job. And as to the horrible customer, sometimes it helps to remember that she has to be absolutely miserable in her own life to lash out indiscriminately to others. Another thing to remember (although it's really hard) is that "Nobody can hurt my feelings without my permission." We can own our responses to horrible stimuli. Not easy, but worth practicing on. Hugs!

    First I have to say that I totally agree with Linda. And indeed, it's not easy.
    Then, tour zia is beautiful and I'm glad you could tangle away the sadness (and probably anger).
    Now up to the new job!
