My time at Sandrock: Commissions, commissions...!

I get commissions (pun intended) for purchases made through the links in this blog post.

 

Can there be too many commissions?

I feel like I'm at my wit's end. Closing in on burnout. 

I have experienced this before. Back at Portia. I was so stressed then, and worked too much.

This time I promised myself to take it easy. That I would take my time, and not hurry through everything.

 

 

It did work out, up until to a certain point.

Unlike in Portia, in Sandrock you can work on commissions also on the weekends. Because Yan found a workaround for those pesky labor laws... And you can take multiple commissions at the same time. So there's no rest for the wicked. 

Suddenly I found myself dreaming of an early retirement.

To be able to do that I needed my workshop to reach 5 stars, but then I found out how many reputation points are required for a 5 star workshop: 25 000. And to my horror I realized that despite all of my hard work I'm not even halfway there. I feel like giving up. (EDIT: The trophy popped when I reached 19 000 points!)

So maybe it's time for a rage quit? Seriously, what kind of a genius comes up with a weapon named ragequit, made out of a keyboard?

 

I decided to do a little bit of spring cleaning. All the old and outdated clothes had to go. I nearly strained my back carrying those rag piles to the shop. And did I even get a good price on them? I don't think so. But the only thing I'm ever going to wear is the most beautiful gown I have found. So what if it is labeled as a wedding dress?

 

I also had boxes full of unread books. Most of them are surprisingly short ones, but I still don't have time to read them. So why should I keep them around? I did find a couple of useful books. One of them (Xiaohongshu) I gave to Pablo as a gift, and he liked it very much. Apparently only him and me have some taste around Sandrock.

And the other book (Around the World in However Many Days) I gifted to Mort, who just happens to be my secret love. Oops, did I just spill the beans? It hurts my heart to know that this love will forever be unrequited. 

 

And then I just had to play with fire. Are the bachelors really that blind? I hear they get jealous if they catch you on a date with someone else. But that's it? What if I kiss my lover while my other lover is watching?

I had to test it, with Unsuur and Ernest. I'm romancing both of them.

 

No reaction. No anger. No losing of relationship points. Everything carries on as normal. No one has jilted me. They really are that oblivious. Poor fellas. 

 

 

Yes, I am the village bicycle. Qi, Unsuur and Ernest so far. I'm working on Fang, and planning on Logan (he hasn't arrived yet).

But which bachelor I'm going to marry? Stay tuned for more posts about My time at Sandrock. Or check out the previous posts.
