Dressmaker - Not Haughty

So, ive been working hard at making dresses for ladies, finding ways to add playfull tassles, lace and velvets.. and in comes Prudence...

"Make me look sad and uncomfortable for cheap!" okay... i create a burlap and salmon cotton dress.. I figured, sure, the dress is already bad enough, ill just do the stitches really well, so at least ill be less ashamed if she tells anyone I made it. The horror..

I am about to finish and get the "customer will be unhappy" prompt.. what? the quality has to be at maximum 70... but my global average quality is 99, and for this dress 100. so, i rip all the stitching apart and go american psycho on the stitching.. the amount of times the machine jammed was horriffic..

Mind you, in real life i have a similar ancient model of sewing machine upstairs, and shes my precious.. it physically hurt.. someone make prudence go away please...

Guys! I did it! I have gotten the green light!

In 2022 I requested sterilization, and after a 5 minute phone call and 3 weeks of them "discussing it in the team" they decided they were unwilling to help.

I requested another meeting, and it was planned for Tuesday. I prepared a 2 page letter with explanations and arguments and all my reasons and every question i thought they might ask..

The doctor got sick, it was rescheduled to today, and I've been a nervous wreck.

I came in, letter in hand, strategy ready, my emotional support besty by my side, expecting to have to fight for my rights, ready to start swinging.

We sat down, and he asked if I was there for the sterilization, if I'd considered which surgery I wanted, and asked some casual questions about my reasons, my partner, he agreed with everything I said, and it was... honestly anticlimactic...

But guys! I am getting my bisalp!!!
