Post subject: RE: A Stitch in Time: Stitching II
The original had the difficulty of sticking to the regular fark rules as much as possible; on that basis, I’d say ‘no’ to stacking, other than the obvious necessity to overlap.

Shouldn’t this be contest #3 of this series?

I can find the farktography discussion here, but I can’t locate the actual first contest. Anyone got any linkage?

Have I mentioned how much bloody fun this theme has been? I’m still looking for more stuff to do, and the nature of the beast means that for every 50 or 75 shots, you get 1 good one, but the feeling I get when that good one pops up on my monitor is the whole reason this hobby’s so fun… absolute satisfaction in a job well done.
Also… lots of…

Kes – They fired HR lady after she started trying to clean up the place. The original owner passed away and he would not have wanted his family to run this business.

Thanks Kestrana and Uranus!

I was doing this out of the kindness of my heart. The boss has used what I was doing for free for them, and turned it around into a job requirement that she threatened my job with in a roundabout way. I shouldn’t *have* to take photos for them, but if I refuse now I will be fired.

Thanks ennui, that’s great advice. As of that…Read more

Did you sign a contract when you first started? If so, you might want to read the fine print there. <

That’s a negative, no contract was signed at all. The only thing in my file is my application with my signature and I also signed a non-compete for working with competitors.

Part of my beef is that the president hired her own professional…Read more
