I like Petco.  I like most the people I work with.  I love the grooms I;ve turned out lately (thank you, Donna).  I like the customers who think I'm the shit now.

I HATE the problem with Janice.  Its barely gotten better.  And other problems have cropped up.  Oh the rage there was today...  I am talking to Kristen asap and going to see what can be done, because I wont work like this much longer.  If it cant be helped, I'll put in my two weeks.  I'll find something to go to first, of course and around the holidays it shouldnt be too hard to find another groom shop needing help.  I'd really love to stay and work this out.  But it seems that unless Janice and I switch places, or they hire an entirely new manager, its not going to change.

HOOOOWWLLLL!!! [Oct. 27th, 2009|05:44 pm]
Yesterday Tracie and I went on a lunch date. :D  Our relationship hasnt been that great lately, so we did a lot of talking and decided we need to fix things.  We went to lunch at the Olive Garden cuz she's never been.  We got the unlimited soup and salad and breadsticks and it was sooooooo good.  We got stuffed mushrooms too.  It was all so fucking good.  We got some thick chicken soup that I wish I'd had more room to have seconds of.

After that, we went and saw Where The Wild Things Are.  I was very excited, but at the same time I was worried they would ruin it.  I was not disappointed! :D  It was AWESOME.  Set aside the fact that we were the only two people in the theatre so we could comment all we wanted and giggle as obnoxiously as we wanted, the movie was so much fun.  It really was my favorite childhood book come alive.  I was worried because its hard to imagine a nine sentence childrens book being stretched into a two hour movie, at least without throwing in a bunch of shit plot and meaningless crap.  But they did really well with this movie.  They really just built on the book, expanded all the goodness there.  It was engaging and really damn funny.  There was a bit more violence than I expected, but it really wasnt that detrimental to the movie.  It wasnt really aimed at kids anyway, people just assume because its based on a kids book.  I loved the whole of the movie, the characters, the kid, the music, the visuals, all of it.  I adored Max.  I loved the way they so accurately gave the wild things childish personalities without turning them into babies.  I just loved the overal feeling of the movie.  I absolutely loved it.  I will be buying this movie when it comes out on video.  It makes me squee!

Then today Michelle and Tyler came over.  We hung out for a bit and played video games.  Tyler nitpicked everybody and was just so bored.  Blech.  But it was fun.

WoW servers are down for maintenance, what do I do??

I talked to Michelle for a bit on Facebook while I tended my farm.  We decided that since Tracie is 'off' next Tuesday and I'm off and she gets out of school at noon, she's going to come over and bring her PS3 and Katamari game and we'll all play.

I forgot to update I guess - Tracie is quitting Petsmart.  Her last day is Friday.  Her manager is a bitch and wouldnt send her to academy.  So Tracie quit.  Next week she's going to put an application in and get rehired at Bridgeton lol.  Gabi's plan, not ours, I swear lol.  So she'll have a week or so off work.  Which is fine because I'm starting to make bigger paychecks.  Its nice.

I ran some errands yesterday and I bought a grooming book.  I'm flipping through it and it seems pretty good.  Its nothing specific, just general knowledge grooming things.  Hopefully I learn something.

I'm gonna draw a bit and read a bit until WoW comes back up.  Then make Tracie dinner cuz she's going to a haunted house with her friends tonight and wont be home long.

I was almost done with work when Tracie called me and told me that Perci had straight liquid diarrhea all over his kennel and then in the living room.  So  I left work early so we could take him to the vet.  All tests were negative, so they gave us some diarrhea meds and we'll see if it gets better.  He might have gotten into something but we really have no idea.  Unless he ate all the evidence of something we wouldnt miss, there is no mess anywhere.  Being busy at the vet for a few hours, we had to miss Haley's play.  If I can get out of work on time today we're going to try and make it tonight, but if its anything like last saturday, it may not happen that way.  We'll see how that goes.

Devon is suppose to talk to Janice today... maybe thats why I'm so nervous this morning.  Or maybe its just cuz I hate weekends at work right now.

People are nuts, I tell you what [Oct. 15th, 2009|06:34 pm]
I did two nail trims today, thats it lol.  But there were a lot of funtastic people to amuse me.  Most were just crazy (read:stupid/bitchy) but some others were just plain hilarious.

I spent most of the day bummin though.  I really hate the way things are right now.  We're really slow and this whole Janice problem is really grating on my nerves.  I come to work every day and hear more shit from the bathers.  She's not bad, just stupid and wierd enough to be annoying.  I spoke with Devon after work and she's going to sit down and talk with her this weekend.  If that doesnt help, I will go to Kristin when she gets back from vacation.  And then corporate.  If still no change, I'll ask to be transfered.  And if that happens before the holidays, I know they wont transfer me so I'll have to quit.  Plenty of groom shops need extra help around the holidays...  Devon made me feel better about it but we'll see.

In the mean time I got the printer/scanner/copier set up!  So I'll be posting more art soon.  And try to stir up interest for Christmas gifts. :D  My first job is to type some shit for work though... cuz no one else will it seems...

Grand Opening [Oct. 10th, 2009|08:23 pm]
I am WORN OUT.  I worked 11 hours.  I was scheduled 8-430.  I got off just after 7.  O.o  It was terrible... We had a wave of people at 9 when the store doors opened, and since no one really knows how to use the computer - or do anything else - besides me, I spent most of my morning doing everything but grooming.  When I finally did get around to it, I was way behind.  I had prepared people that it would take extra time today because of how busy we were, but customers are stupid and dont listen.  And we have an issue.  Ugh.  It ended on a good note though.  I had a good last dog, the people were really nice and appreciated the extra time I spent on making their matted bichon look decent.  And Janice and I talked about maybe having a meeting, at least with us two, on Monday to try and figure out the schedule, brainstorm on things in the salon and paperwork and stuff so we can make future weekends run smoother.  So maybe that will be better... But I will not work like this forever.  I wont play manager without the title or pay just because Janice cant get it together.  I think if it doesnt get better in like a month or so, I'm going to either quit, ask for a transfer, or have a serious talk with Kristin (store manager) about how Janice isnt working out.  I'm not doing this forever.  I could handle the stress if I was the manager.  If my decisions had real weight.  And if I were paid for it.  But I'm not.  On the other hand, I would just love to work this out.

Tyler tried my laptop again before bringing it back to me the other night and it didnt work.  >.<  I dont know why it would work one minute and not the next, but he kept it to figure it out.  But now we have a laptop and a desktop, once the desktop's graphics card is worked out tomorrow.  So we can reactivate our wow accounts :D

Until then I've been playing things on Facebook... god help me I've gotten into farmville.

Once we get things back in order, and get the scanner hooked back up, I need to spam some more drawings to stir up early Christmas orders. :)

I've been really depressed lately though.  A big mix of slight depression, PMS and actual problems between me and Tracie.  I feel like crying most of the time, and even when things are going good I'm uncomfortable because I'm sad anyway.  Tracie and I talked a lot yesterday and hopefully things will go better but I'm worried.  And we're really slow at work, because no one knows we're open yet, so I'm stressed again about money.  And I'm a bit worried that all the hype was just usual corporate lies and we wont be that busy and I wont make any decent money...  And my neck...  It usually acts up more towards the end of the day and I close today and tomorrow so I really really hope it holds off...  Its getting really old, dealing with this pain all the time.

Its raining and stormy outside and I'm sleepy.  I wanna go back to bed. -.-

I fixed the internet!!  Got us set up again and re-secured.  Then I got Tracie's desktop speakers to work! :D  Still having trouble with the graphics card though.  Did several different things its still not right... hoping Driver Checker will be able to update it correctly.  Tracie is going to wait until Thursday to buy that though.

Mom texted me and wanted me to go with her to Best Buy and stuff.  I said no.  She kept pushing, saying she missed me and stuff.  I told her I was still upset, and of course, she immediately got defensive and stopped texting me.  She said sorry, so what?  She doesnt know what she is apologizing for.  She doesnt care.  So not only does the apology make nothing better, it doesnt mean anything itself.  Nothing solved, nothing better, no reason to not still be upset.  I'm not unreasonable, if she would listen, and understand why I was upset, really understand me, and truly apologize, it would be over with.  I just want to be understood by her, and it never happens.

I'm going to get the back of my head trimmed a little more later.  And hopefully Gabi and I will coordinate something today to get my laptop back.

[Current Mood | busy]

Saturday Tracie and I were off together and we had a very busy day.  We got up around 8 and went to Hometown Buffet because Tracie was craaaaving a buffet.  So we had lots of yummy eggs and cheese and biscuits and hash browns and waffles and cinnamon rolls.... and Tracie flipped her shit that she was able to take as much bacon as she wanted and no one would yell at her lol.  After that we came home for a bit and chilled... until we went to Trendz and I got my hair cut.  Its nice and short again :D  But the back is a little longer than I'd like so I'm going to call them today and see if I can come in for a few minutes to have Lisa shorten it just a smidge.  Tracie's mom met us up there and we all socialized for a bit.  She met us up there because we were going to stop by Best Buy anyway to get Tracie's laptop looked at and her mom wanted to buy a new computer.  Which caused Tracie to flip out again because that meant we get the old desktop, which is what Tracie wanted to take in the first place.  So we went to Best Buy and the guy looked at her laptop and cleaned the fan a little bit, but that was all.  If the cleanup doesnt help than we are going to buy cooling pads this weekend.  I'm going to do so anyway because Gabi called me and said my laptop turned on!  I was like WTF!  She said Tyler just turned it on and was like "whats suppose to be wrong with it?" lol  But I just dont want it overheating anymore so whenever I can get my laptop back I'm going to buy a cooling pad for it.  Our favorite chick Jackie was working and she helped the momma pick out a computer and she helped us get a wireless thingy for the desktop.  Then we went back to Tracie's mom's house and I tried hooking up the internet and printer... didnt happen.  Internet never works for me the first time and the printer cord wasnt right... so we left.  We rented a movie (Holding Trevor, which wasnt bad) and got Taco Bell for dinner.

Sunday I worked at the family and friends even, which basically just ended up being a day open.  I did a nail trim and made a lot of appointments.  Talked to a lot of customers.  Building that good PR lol.  I can't wait to actually get to work on Wednesday... do some actual grooming.  I traded a smoothing from Smoothie King, deciding and making dinner, sex and a redeemable whenever couples bath for Tracie calling Linksys for me lol.  Our box's damn warranty is expired though so of course fucking people wont help us anymore.  Such bs, I tell you what.  So I have to figure it out myself, which I really dont know how to do.

I hate computers.  I really do.  I know just enough about them to be dangerous, to know something isnt working, to maybe even know why its not working, and sometimes how to fix it.  But usually I just know enough for it to be frustrating lol.  I sometimes think about taking a class or something, to learn more about it, but I'm afraid that if I do, my family will just ask me to help them more often then they already do... and I hate being their tech girl.

Anyway, I'm off today and tomorrow, so I have plenty of time to have fun with these damn computers...

Things are going too bad.  My neck is acting up a lot lately, I have to be careful what I lift and how I move, but either way I usually end up with it being pretty painful at the end of the day.  I'm trying to conserve hot/cold patches but its not going terribly well lol.  I do keep myself drugged up, but I'm not sure how well its really helping since my tolerance is so high, but I'm afraid to take more because I probably need to go easy on my kidneys.

I met my grooming manager the other day and for the past two days we've been getting the salon ready and practicing on the computer.  They have a very weird system...  I just think its funny because Petco has this thing that they want to 'take back the pet industry by 2010'.  But they are so behind the times its ridiculous and I dont think its going to happen lol.  In our district, we have three stores with salon computer systems.  And we are a 'pilot' store for cordless phones... Really?  Really?  Come on now.  I think its just pathetically funny.  And they complain about their lack of bathing business, yet they have self service.  *eyeroll*  But whatever....  Anyway, my manager's name is Janice and she's been a groomer for 24 years.  Its her first time in a corporate environment, actually.  She owned her own shop at one point, then worked for a vet, then worked with her friend at another private shop.  Thats it.  So I have to help her with the computer and stuff and we're basically co-managing it all because she just doesnt know how htings work in the corporate world.  And we're both on agreement we want to follow Petco's policies, but otherwise run the salon like a small shop.  We want better quality grooms, mostly, than what people are used to getting at Petcos and Petsmarts.  We both want to go against the bag stigma corporate salons have.  It's looking promising.  I've only known her two days, but I think it will go well between us.

Now if my neck can stop hurting I'll be golden...

Life sucks. Life sucks so hard. [Sep. 27th, 2009|10:47 am]
I got my first paycheck! :D  But because its about bill time, its basically already been eaten up.  And Tracie may have to actually cover all of rent this time around because I dont have much to spare.  I've started to pay off McCallum Place and the first bill is due soon so thats a big chunk of my money during a time when I dont have a lot to begin with.  At least that will get them off my back.  We will be ok, but its going to be very tight.  With my next paycheck I should be ok, and should be able to cover more my share of the bills, but still.  Its going to take a minute for me to catch up.

And if Tyler can't fix my laptop, I'll have to start saving up to buy a new one asap.  I dropped it off with Gabi this morning.  So we'll see.  I hope he's able to find something fixable.  Even if I have to spend a little for a new part, its better than buying a whole new laptop, which I wont be able to afford to do for at least three or four months, pending everything else going smoothly.  So I've suspended my wow account and my time expires next sunday.  Which makes me very sad.  And I might need to back out of the [info]fma_big_bang , at least as an author, because I dont know how much I'd be able to get done on paper and using Tracie's laptop sometimes.  If I had every detail planned on paper and ready to be written out, and I got my laptop by Jan, I could probably spit out 25k words before the rough draft deadline.  But I just dont know.  And I hate fixing this up like that because something else always goes wrong and what was suppose to happen last minute doesnt happen in time, if at all.  I guess I will see what I can plan out until Tyler comes up with a verdict, then go from there.

I'm still not really talking to my mom.  She texted me the other night and asked if I had bought the scissors.  I told her no because any money right now goes to bills.  She said she was sorry and then offered to pay for the drawings she wanted of her and Brian, me and my sisters, etc.  This, after going on and on and on about she's my mother, how dare I say I should charge her for work I do when money is so tight I can barely pay bills.  I ignored that text.  I ignore most of her texts lately.  What makes me the most angry about my birthday sucking so bad, is not just that my mom doesnt understand why I got so upset, but that I can't even convince myself to waste the energy explaining it to her because she doesnt want to understand.  She's such a goddamn right-fighter.  I'm upset?  Well how dare I get mad at her?!  She gets so fucking defensive it never goes anywhere.  So I dont bother anymore.  I just ignore her.  And I think this might last for a good long while because I'm tired of getting fucked over by her.  I'm tired of hoping against reality that I can have one good parent who wont disappoint me, who wont stab me in the back, who wont be toxic to my mental health.  It hurts like hell, but parent or not, for my own sanity I cant deal with her.

And all this stress is getting to me.  I have no money, my laptop broke, my car needs to be looked at because it has trouble starting, my mom wont be there for me, I'm physically tired every day because stocking a new store is hard work, my neck has been acting up again, I wont get insurance for a good three months so I have to deal with the pain until then, I feel fat and I'm having a lot of ED thoughts lately as I try to deal with the stress, and it all makes me crabby and I end up hurting Tracie.  I've been so mean to her lately.  And I try to make up for it but I get depressed again and mess up.  And I try to cheer up and make her happy but I cant maintain it under all this stress.  I've been doing better since the paycheck, because the money was a big deal, but I'm still really stressed out.  I want to give her the happy life she deserves, but I just cant and I feel terrible.  Did I mention the stress has kicked my thought patterns back into catastrophization a little?

I just cant wait for life to get back to normal.  I guess thats even a stupid sentence because for me, this is normal.  I have terrible luck, I tell you what.

Terrible days all around! [Sep. 24th, 2009|09:01 am]
[Current Mood | tired]

I had a bad day yesterday, Tracie had a bad day, Gabi had a bad day... It was a bad day lol.  I just woke up already sorta sad, because I've been increasingly depressed lately because the stress of having no money and having to figure out bills, and feeling fat, and being tired from stocking and having my neck start hurting again, is just all getting to me.  Tracie left my jeans at her moms house, which is the only thing I really needed washing the day before, so I got mad at her and sent a snooty text.  And then I go to try and get on my laptop... and it wont turn on.  This is sorta different from last year, because some lights actually do come on, but nothing else does, and after a few seconds of "thinking" it shuts down and the lights go out.  And who doesnt just love their computer not working?  This sucks even more than a virus or soemthing because I know how to work with software.  I know where to go, what to do, to fix things if the computer is on.  Not turning on is probably a hardware problem that I know nothing of how to fix.  So I posted in [info]tech_support and someone is trying to help me figure it out.  But I think I may have to see if Tyler wants to tinker with it again, if just to basically analyze it to find the problem.  Anyway I had to work of course, and we started with cat/dog supplies, which is a lot more confusing than food.  So I got frustrated because I couldnt find anything on the planogram, and I cried a little because it just all sucked.  And Bob, a store guy, kept telling me to smile and pointing out that I havent smiled all day.  I hate it when people egg me on to smile when I'm pissed.  It just irritates me more.  Devon though, one of the managers who is probabl going to be my favorite manager, is the kind of person I can be pissed around.  She didnt let my mood effect her, she didnt call attention to the fact that I was crabby, she knew I was, but that was ok and she just let me be.  It made me feel better.  Then Tracie decided to work a second shift at Bridgeton, which is how Tracie discovered Gabi had had a bad day too, so I got upset because I thought she would be working until nine and I wouldnt see her at all that day because I was so upset and tired I planned on going to bed as soon as I got home.  The evening turned out better though because she got off early and made it home before me with a little time to start dinner.  And she cheered herself up enough to cheer me up.  My neck still hurts, my feet are killing me, I cannot wait until stocking is done and I get back to grooming, I can't wait until I have insurance and can go to the doctor, my laptop is broke and that means I'll probably have to suspend my WoW account again cuz I cant play until its fixed, which makes me sad because my guild is awesome and I really missed them and enjoyed this last week when we finally got into some raids, and I think I dont like cats anymore lol.  But I'm at least in a better mood than yesterday, and tomorrow I go back to my 7am shift, so I'll have a worht while evening tomorrow and that makes me happy.

Spent a three day weekend with the mattress pulled into the living room and having a sleepover! :D  We played lots and lots of WoW and ran a shit ton of heroics, and watched movies and had sexy time and slept in the living room.  Like a long sleepover it was so much fun!!

So pretty much everything else was neglected all weekend besides WoW and Tracie lol.  I really need to crack down later this week and get more writing done, and I would really love to draw some more.

But ugh lots of work this week.  My feet are so tired!!

[Current Mood | exhausted]

Wednesday Tracie and I went to my mom's for a bday dinner.  Things got totally fucked up and I ended really balling myself to sleep.  My mom invited Kirk, Brian's son, who decided to invite his girlfriend/whore without asking.  He mooched the food and left.  And I dont like him so I was upset he was there in the first place.  My mom knows this, but invited him anyway.  Then she pulled a lot of conversation towards her, mainly about how we have only a year or so to plan for HER fiftieth birthday.  And then she gave me money as a present, along with my sisters, so I could buy the scissors I wanted.  Not so bad really, but I wanted the actual scissors, or a printer/copier.  I wanted an actual gift.  Because now this money is going to go in my bank account and act as a buffer for bills, which is no fun.  So I had a TERRIBLE night Wed.  The only good thing was that my sisters were there, and I love them.

Yesterday was better, though. Thanks to Tracie. <33 )

One of those little high school/college kids I work with now got me sick I think.  >.<  Started off with a sore throat Wednesday afternoon, before I even left the meetings.  By bedtime I had some sort of cold/flu.  Sore throat, headache, body aches... I despise body aches.  I can take any amount of sore throat, coughing, sneezing, headache, stomach ache, anything but I absolutely hate body aches.  When even lying on the couch is too much work for my muscles because they are filled with silly putty.  And then I sleep too much because I get so tired.  Rawr I hate it.  I felt a little better towards the end of the day yesterday but I feel icky again this morning.  I'm dreading AP calling because I really dont want to work today.

[Pic] Willow & Priddle + KawaKon... artist? [Sep. 9th, 2009|06:59 pm]
[Current Mood | tired]

KawaKon is St Louis' baby anime convention. I tried to go earlier this year, as some of you may remember, but I ended up using that vacation time to pack and move. So I didn't get to go. So still, I have never been to an anime convention. Shocking, I know. But StL doesnt have much in the way of conventions... KuniCon came a few years ago but I didn't get to go, and I guess it was a good thing since it didn't turn out so well lol. And I just found out about Anime St Louis, aka KawaKon earlier this year. And I can't, at this time, afford to go outside the city for a convention. Hence my con virginity. ANYWAY, I was looking at the KK website and saw the artists registration. There's not a whole lot of info on their site though, like they expect you already know about these things if you're at their site. So I emailed the artist coordinator guy to get more info.

EDIT: Got an a nice long informative email back. Definitely considering it, but I'm not sure. I sure wont be registering for a while though. They do have Bishie Con, their sister con, happening November, maybe we'll get to go to at least one day of that and then I can go be an artist at Kawa. We'll see.

I'm also getting tired of waiting for unemployment to kick in. I filed my fourth claim last night, so its been four weeks. If I don't get paid by the end of the week, I'm calling someone. I need that money to pay bills, damnit.

And and and! I finished that commission. Worked out pretty well I think.

I thought I was going to die of cuteness overload, I did! )

of Petco meetings and dumb people [Sep. 8th, 2009|06:02 pm]
[Current Mood | exhausted]

My feet do not hurt as bad as I thought they would!  I actually cut the straps to those shoes earlier so they didnt cut into my feet at all.  I'm just not used to wearing nice shoes so my feet do ache a bit.

The meeting went really well.  We took frequent breaks and lunch was provided by McAlister's Deli, which was really good.  I mingled with some of the new employees and they seem nice.  Except for a possible grooming manager transferred from elsewhere, I think I'm still the only salon associate. O.o  The district manager, Paul, Petco's Bob equivalent, is much nicer than Bob and doesnt talk as much bullshit.  Kristin, the store manager, seems nice too, but I'll be on guard on that one for a while because female store managers tend to be bitches.

The lectures went ok for the most part.  We learned a lot of basic stuff about customer service and some products and then we learned about dogs and cats... and everything was going swimmingly until we got into dog/cat nutrition.  I had to bite my tongue really hard not to jump up and yell at the lady "How are you so stupid!?"  Really... she listed Purina One, Iams and Eukanuba along side Innova, Wellness, Blue and Natural Balance when listing examples of premium food brands.  Really?  Really?!  I had liked her.  I had had a little respect for.  And then she started being an absolute DUMBASS, teaching these other people to be dumbasses, too.  She actually said by-products and corn are ok.  /seizure.  SERIOUSLY??!?!  Have you really not done any research?  Or did you just, as I strongly suspect, talk to a few food reps and take their words for it?  Omg, I got such a headache.  And it was kinda funny because what she was telling us, was almost completely contradicted by the examples on the slideshow thing.  Now, I know a lot of people are uneducated about dog/cat food.  But to be in the position she's in (some kinda regional Petco employee trainer) and to pass on her misinformation to a group of people who are looking to her and trusting what she says is correct... that is just enraging for me.  I don't know why that subject gets me so riled up, but it really does.  And I expected more from her.  /sigh

Anyway, I'm going to do a little 'studying' with my grooming books and such and then I'll probably play a little WoW with Tracie before bed.  I go back tomorrow! -.-;

I have to leave in a few minutes to go to the all day Petco meeting.  I'm nervous.  >.<  I just hate changing jobs.  I hate feeling new.  I guess it makes it better that everyone else besides maybe the managers will be new too, but still.  And I bought pants yesterday from Marshals (and Mambo Italiano was on sale for FOUR DOLLARS!!) because it's 'business casual' and I didnt buy shoes because I was going to borrow my moms.  Well, Haley wore those to work yesterday and she was going to have mom swing by here on their way home to give me the shoes, but apparently she had to stay a little late to work so mom was pissed and they didnt bring the shoes.  So I'm stuck wearing the only semi-nice shoes I have, which have a little heel to them (I HATE heels) and are made of strappy things that suffocate my toes.  It would all be better if I had comfortable shoes.  XP  Ugh.  My feet will be falling off by the time I get home.
