Mimi-Scented Care Package

teddy_radiatorFirst day back to work (which means we'll only work three days this week, but oh well), and waiting in my mailbox was a care package from the lovely Mimi darling. The original to her 'Welcome to LJ' drawing (which is breathtaking), a Snape calendar which is so awesome, and other goodies. Talk about making me feel loved.
Good day at the shop. A friend came in to order a take away, paid with a credit card, and this afternoon after closing, as I was entering in tips from the CC slips, I found that he'd given us a $50 tip - on an $11 meal. Nice guy. Took some stunning photos of the shop during Christmas (I'll put them in the gallery - they are so beautiful I have trouble realising it's our place), and does lots of work at the theatre we perform at occasionally.
I'm getting desperate for a beta. I'm starting to realise that I am hopeless and even after beta-ing my own first three fics, I'm just as crap at finding my own mistake now as I was the first page of Spellbreaker. I got a chapter tossed from Ashwinder today because it was so rubbish they couldn't accept it! I had to laugh. I re-read it and I'd mistakenly sent my un-proofed copy, but I'm getting scared to send the updated one - it'll probably have more mistakes than the first one.
If you know anyone who would like to beta me, I would like to work with them. I have a beta for my original work, but she's just too snowed under to do the fanfic stuff as well, and she's not very familiar with canon. I'm getting into some trickier waters here with the two fics I'm working on right now, and I'm going to need to up my game.
