Today, I went to return the BB. It ended up well, they took it back, (the person helping me was really great, because he said that VZW only allows one return every year, but he did it anyway) and for some reason I got a credit on the account. The person helping me kind of laughed about it, because he didn't know why that happened either. I ended up getting a smaller, less-complicated version of a phone: the third generation Chocolate. I ended up not paying for it, because part of the credit on the account took care of the price!
So, all in all, it ended up very well! Thanks Alysia!
The Ren Faire was amazing! I wore my black & garnet floral corset, jeans, and my brown boots. I, if I do say so myself, looked very nice! LOL My dad and I (we go together every year) had a great time. We walked around from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and watched the Washing Well Wenches and Dead Bob. They were both absolutely hysterical! I almost dropped my beer! LOL
As for the job issue. I had two interviews on Wednesday (?? I can't remember precisely). On for a PetLand and one for Plato's Closet. My mom has a friend at work who needs someone to watch her two kids two days per week. That is cash and it is more than I made working a 30 - 35 hour week at my old job!
Well, I will just have to wait and see how it all works out! I will know by Wednesday! I'll let everyone know how it goes!
Okay, here is a stupid materialistic rant that I am going to have, and then I am going to perform a calming/visualiztion/energy exercise for all of my CovenSpace friends!
Here it goes: I, am an idiot, yes, an idiot, please do not try to tell me otherwise. I bought a BB World a little less than a month ago, ended up liking it, but now I am realizing that I am unable to afford it. I thought that I was going to be able to and that things would work out differently, but they have not. So, in retrospect, I (remember I'm the idiot) believe that the Gods are trying to smack me in the face and tell me to get my ****ing priorities straight. And let me tell all of you that I have defenitely heard them this time ... I PROMISE!
Wow, after all these years the lessons have finally sunk in ... FINALLY!
More on this tomorrow, the outcome of the return, the reasons behind my idiocy, my meeting Lesley Kagel in the bookstore on Friday, and my day at the Rennaissance Festival!
Well, here are some updates on my life, and some ramblings.
I left my job a week ago due to stress with my boss and conflicts with my schedule. See, I changed departments within the store due to physical stress from all the lifting associated with my old position. I enjoyed the new position that I was in, I liked my boss and the people I worked with, my hours were good, and my boss told me she would work around my class schedule come this September when classes start, and I also got a small raise. Well, four weeks ago, she told the team that she would not be our manager anymore, and we would be working with a new person. A few days later, we had a "meeting" and the new boss in our department didn't even introduce himself to us, say anything to acknowledge our team, and he would not answer our questions regarding the meeting - he blatantly ignored my attempt to politely ask a question three times. In the end, I felt that the position was not worthy all of the trouble that I was bring given, along with the small amount of compinsation. All in all, they did not keep their word to work around my class schedule, and had me working at 4 and 5 in morning, which is something I am unable to do with classes and such.
Yet, I still feel that it has worked out for the best; in some very strange way; I am not quite sure what that is yet, but I am sure that it will be revealed soon enough. I am back to cleaning one house a week. Which is good because it gives me income, is something I like to do (I find it oddly relaxing - LOL), and gives me time to study/write etc.
Anyway, I am not sure what else to update/ramble on:
I am going to the Renaissance Faire this Saturday which is going to be fun!
I got my nose pierced. It is cute.
I donated clothes to a single dad with three daughters that my mom works with. I felt that it was the least that I could do. I am also donating a notebook and 3-ring binder. I hope it helps.
I am looking for some online places to write for a little cash and to get my name out there.
Well, I finally couldn't take it anymore. On Thursday I quit my job. My little weasel of a boss pushed me a little too far! Anyway, I have the support and backing of my family on it, so I look at that as a good sign. So, I just look at it as a sign from the Gods that at this point in my life other things are of more importance; i.e. college, writing, humanitarian work etc.
Wow, have I been busy. Or at least that is what it seems like! I have been working a 5 a.m. - 1 p.m. shift during the week and a 4 a.m. - 12 p.m. shift on Sundays. Well, I called into today, because I have been quite frustrated with this new boss my dept. has and with my new schedule. They don't seem to be willing to work around my school schedule as previously stated. So, my mom said that it would be alright with her and my dad if I just quite come school time and looked for another more accomadating job. Well, one of the merchandisers at the store told me there may be an opening and that they may be able to work around my class schedule. So, I left a message for the guy about two days ago and he called me back today, and said that he would talk to "his people" - LOL - I thought that was funny, and see what he could work out. This might be a nice change - I won't have to wear a uniform, (BIG plus), it is a little bit more money, they seem to want to try and accomadate me, and if I had to travel I would get mileage.
So, I'll just have to cross my fingers that something works out with this.
As for everything else: not much has been going on. I have renamed my organization from AUN (Action for Underprivledged Nations) to ZhiEshe. Zhi - Chinese for healing, Eshe - African for life.
hey lady! i thought i'd pop in and tell you a tat story. like a bedtime story but only better! lol!!
hmmm... which one to tell.... how about my tree-o-life tat:
it was a b-day gift from my mom. :D and although my b-day is on the 5th of oct. i got the tat on friday the 13th of oct. so it was extra cool! lol! you may or may not know that i am deeply, profoundly, in love with my artiest. that day sealed the deal for me. he was sooo great that day! that tattoo took 3 hours. we chatted and joked just about the whole time! and i'm not the first one to say.. when you get your neck area tattooed it's well..orgasmic. lol! it didn't help that he is beautiful and that i had little hairs that were falling down from my pony that he kept gently brushing away. *sigh* it was heaven! there were some spots that actually tickled! at one point another tattoo artiest came over to check out his work. the other dude said "i just did one of those the other day." and i was like "no you didn't. this is totally different! it's unique." and my artist laughed and was like "ya!" lol! then the dude was like "well. you are right. this one's way cooler. looks way better!" :D that made my day. well... not really. my artiest touching me made my day! ha!! so then on my way out he gave me a big ol hug. that was a perfect end to a perfect day. :) i was on cloud nine when i got home.
i don't have many more to tell come to think of it... with my ankle he had to hold my leg down cause i would kick when he hit certain spots. that was pretty funny. he was VERY patient with that! pinning my foot really helped though. :) man now i really wanna get another one! (((hugs)))~
as i sit here under the almost full moon, by my fire bowl, surrounded by my dogs. i can't help but think of all of my wonderful friends here on cs. many times i have needed a good friend and there you all have been. never have i known people who are more caring and wonderful. people who remember, people who just playing give a shit! aside from my own family. i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. and i hope that i have, or will, be able to return the favor.
and yes, i know i put then fold! lol! whoops! i meant ten. and i said you instead of your. but it's dark out here. :D
aww thank you for that. :) i'm so happy that i don't sound preachy or annoying! lol! i just love people for their uniqueness. i hate when society judges people for that!! any who, i could go on, but i won't! lol! i've gotta see that tattoo!! (((hugs)))~
