Fall Cleaning & Updates
8 years ago
I'm going to give you the TL;DR version of what's been going on, so hang with me...
My job was awesome and I was basically running my boss's business all by myself. As such, I felt I deserved a raise since what I was getting paid what the same amount I made at my last job as cashier. I work through some stuff, getting all caught up and make the occasion right for asking and then? Her Etsy store gets shut down unexpectedly. The Etsy store which, by itself, paid my wages. She lays off my co-worker but doesn't tell her for 3 days and then waits another 3 days to give her her final paycheck. She sends me a threatening text message about the possibility of me getting laid off, too. After a few days go by, she finally speaks to me again (she was unreachable) she wants to keep me but can't give me a raise at any time in the foreseeable future because she can't afford to. Instead of switching me to part time, she says she wants to keep me full time but gives me DOUBLE the responsibilities and puts me in charge of managing her OTHER business, too. So now I run BOTH of her businesses for her and getting paid shit. I'm only going to stay until I have secured another job. I have an interview this morning and another interview Monday morning. Based on how she's been treating me these past 3 weeks, I'm not sure I have it in me to give her a two weeks' notice, either. She also gave my personal cell phone number out to a man I did not know without my consent or knowing. She has turned into a nightmare boss.
My 12 cats...
Yes, 12. I now have Jing, Cole, Dandy, Sugar, Callie, Eira, Saga, Talena, Bowie, Delaney, Connor, and Victor. Bowie's leg bones have calloused together and he will not need amputation surgery! My current goal is to get Talena, Delaney, Connor, and Victor spade and neutered BEFORE the end of the year. (Kitten season is March!) However, I think my husband jumped the gun with Connor and Victor... I highly suspect they are both actually girls and not boys. It's still hard to tell at this point. Regardless, all of the cats are doing very well!
Art and other creative stuff
The stress of running two businesses I don't even care about anymore is incredibly stressful. Getting phone calls at work for interviews and telling my boss I'll come in late because of them is also stressful. Job hunting, application filing, interviews- they all take time and effort and I haven't made anything in ages. But yesterday a customer came in and spoke with me for almost an hour. She's a great woman and she inspired me to get my shit together and after she left, I actually felt like creating things of my own again. I will slowly work on this and I'd like to start uploading here again. You can expect to see pictures of my cats uploaded into Scraps and maybe some other stuff!
Fall Cleaning
Before I upload anything, though, I'd like to clean up my FA profile. The folders, the scraps, the journals... It's about time for that anyway. I haven't been active on here for over 2 years so I think this page needs some freshening up!
Thank you!
Thanks to everyone who even reads these. It means a lot to know there's someone out there willing to take a couple minutes out of their day to catch up with me!
