The Soap is Love

[primsong]

A lady who has a business making/selling soaps, lotions, perfumes, etc. as "Midnite Oils" asked me to come work for her to cover while their regular assistant was in the hospital. I really love it, packaging soaps and sniffing all the nice things. This week when I showed up for my weekly round she tearfully told me the assistant had passed away. 0.o I now have the job but it makes it kind of awkward to be celebratory about it.

They're great people and I've used their products for years, hopefully I'll be able to pick up what needs doing quickly so I can do their old friend's job justice.

That's wonderful for you, but sad about the circumstances.

It does make it a bit strange - like "I have a job! Uh...yay...?" On the good side, I was there to help this week when they needed to ramp up product for an upcoming Expo show. And my clothes smell so nice when I come home!

Oh wow, I would have never seen this except for your pointer, thank you so much! "Pippin in Gondor" was the first fandom poem I ever did, it's lovely that it is still being read as well.
