Psyched About Logo Design!

They loved it!! I've been working here for nearly 7 months and I finally got to do my first big logo design! A lot of my work consists of printing off jobs that have been ordered or putting together wedding invitations, business card, flyers... ya know, stuff. While I enjoy it, this job has had me thrilled form the second in came into my inbox! I was recommend through another client I work with and that alone was enough to get my ego going. The client is opening a new business and needed a logo and came to me. Apparently I did something right, because they loved it! Now my logo will be displayed huge at the entrance to the building! I'm so excited and now I have a lot of work ahead of me since they plan on opening in 2 weeks and I have the whole business package plus some to design. This makes working worth it!

Worst Doctor's Appointment Ever

I've never had a problem with Preston's pediatrician before, but today about made me sick. They tested him for Lead today as a precaution since his sitter's house is built before 1960. I thought they'd just take a prick of blood from his finger. No! They came in with two small vials and a finger pricker. They actually pricked his finger and forced blood out and scrapped it into the vials!! I was so upset! I could hear the plastic rubbing on his fingers, grinding his skin away. After 5 minutes she had nothing more than a drop of blood in the first one. I was furious. Preston was clearly in pain. His hand was covered in blood and the nurse's gloves were too. Is this really the only way to get blood?! More of it was on their hands than in the vial! It took almost half an hour and she got less than 250ml each. I'm sure his finger is sore. After they finished she cleaned up the blood on his hand and you could see where they skin was ripped off his finger. It made me so mad. I don't ever want to do that again and will  not put him through that kind of pain again. If they need that much blood, they can use a needle.
