Mood Swings, Promotions, and hot boyfriends..

I'm sad.

No reason why, really. I just am today. I get that way sometimes.

No, scratch that.

Often. I get that way often. With no reason in particular.

I mean, there's really nothing bad going on right now, it's all good. *knock on wood*

I've begun dating a really awesome guy that I've known for years.. Well, awesome, great, rockin', sweet..pick your adjective..it works. (There's plenty of entries waiting to be written involving the awesome times that I spend with him, but my blog notebook has decided to go M.I.A. and I have no idea where it has scampered off to..Never fear, once I find the little rascal my writings will be completely updated!!)

I am remodeling (cosmetically,) my bathroom. I could NOT take the boat theme one day longer. I don't know why the people who owned this house before me thought that it was a clever idea. They put medium blue on the lower half of three walls, a dark blue chair rail, one wall was completely dark blue. And they went as far as putting tacky silver knobs on the chair rail as well. BLECH.

Thanks to Adam, the chair rail and knobs are gone, and tonight I filled in the holes that were in the two walls that I will be painting first. I am going with the colors here in this picture:

along with a few accent pieces in darker blue, because the bathroom floor has blue/grey diamonds in it.

Anywho.


I got a LONG overdue promotion finally. You are now reading the thoughts and ideas of a -- *drumroll please*-- Jewelry Sales Co-ordinater. Woot! That bumps me up the payscale FIVE spots! And, it's higher up on the recognition scale, as well as being in a new area finally.

A girl can only be surrounded by shoes for so long, you know. (Lesser known fact, right??)

The dungeon, books, and feelings of unease..

What a hectic crazy day. I felt like I was being forced to run at full speed all day, while staying in place.



Technically, I am a shoe associate, supposedly working in shoes. More and more, I have found myself thrown behind a register checking for most or all of my shift. Since I have gotten a doctor's note for my back, I am now finding myself thrown behind the register at the self-checkouts. You know how mind-numbing that is?? Really, just hitting the red 'digital' buttons on the monitor, and occasionally going to each lane when the person checking their stuff needs an age approval or screws it up somehow. Sure, saying hi to the customers and making sure they get through alright, but most of the time they are either on the phone or in a group and they just want OUT OF THERE. I can't say I blame them either.


(but...minus the smile this lady has... Just as a default...)

Today, not only was I sitting at the self checkouts for over four hours, I also did 340 price changes. Really, why on Earth did they think it is a good idea to drop that many price changes on the weekend???? They actually dropped 360, but I didn't do the last 20 of them because they were partial size runs. People go nuts when a size 7 of a style is one price and the 7 1/2 is another... So I left them on there until at least tomorrow to see if the rest drops....




I don't feel well. My dinner is not wanting to settle down and be digested.. I honestly have to stop myself from getting sick (sorry for the visuals).



So, on another note, I was thinking again about my job/career change. If I can't work in a library anytime soon (see my previous blogs titled 'The unbalancing acts'), I still need to escape the 'dungeon' (as one of my lovely readers dubbed it) VERY soon... I think I will check out the hiring possibilities at Barnes and Noble. It's kind of like a library. Another plus, it is in the mall that is only two blocks away from me. :)

A downside?........It is in the mall that is only two blocks away from me. *laughs* Our mall has quite a few stores that I love, and constant sales. I would forever be broke, even more than usual!

My medicine is kicking in, I can definitely tell. It works fast, and knocks out my abilities to formulate coherent sentences and to spell/use grammar correctly.

So, my dear readers.. You've all been pretty quiet lately! Feel free to share what's going on with you!

How is your weekends going?

What lovely (or not so lovely) places do you spend your time the most?

What do you think of Nirvana?

Don't forget to leave kudos with comments, and subscribe! I love that sort of thing!!!

What would you do if these were your children?

I saw this on the television earlier and was completely shocked and speechless! It's only a thirty second clip, but it's a clear incidient to me of child neglect.

Some background info:

Her mother's instinct told her something was amiss. She installed the nanny cam a week earlier....and saw the rough handling of her twin infants from the start. She saw this footage at work, and immediatley left work to get rid of the nanny.

She then called the cops, who told her that there wasn't enough evidence of child abuse or neglect.

My dear readers, what do you think? Should this nanny be held accountable for the ways she mishandled these babies? (Born almost a month early)

Is this as horrible to you as it is to me?

Don't forget, I absolutely adore comments! :)
