I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN! Which makes it clear that I'm off spring break!

Yay!. My home computer decided that it truly hates hates us, and so won't let the keyboard, or the mouse work. :(

How fun.

One of these days I'll try my hand at making my own clothes... but I'll probably have to get a leather sewing machine to do it.

Oops... I think I accidently posted a reply to a previous page.. XD

lol that's okay. Another fun little convo.

My mom makes a good majority of my clothes, especially the underwear. And I'm going to start sewing as well...for cosplay!

...Your mother makes your underwear? That seems odd to me. lol. Whatever though.

What?! She makes about 90% of my clothes!

Well at least it saves money. *nods*

----------

I just don't have the time to do crazy stuff like that. I couldn't see me spending much time behind a sewing machine when I work 40+ hours every week... ^.^;;

That's why I'll probably bedoing a lot of my sewing on the weekends.

Eeh.. I work weekends... and on my days off I go to school. Except Friday. Friday is my solitary free day. And I'd rather not spend it on sewing. XD

Oh gods... it has been a hell of a week for me.

Might start this new one unemployed if all goes as expected...

oh noes! why unemployed?

Well, I had a particularly violent strain of the flu, which most people will note is highly contagious. I was having muscle spasms, I couldn't breathe, I had a fever in the triples, and I felt like my throat was going to burst open. It hit me harder than it did anyone else in the house. I tried going to work, but each time I went in I had to call it quits because I could not stand up.

Well, Walmart has an attendance policy. On your third absence (whether you called in or not) you get something called a D-Day, wherein you have to write Corporate and practically beg them to keep your job. If you miss four days, that's an automatic termination. I missed four and two-thirds. When I called in on the fourth day, I said that I had a doctor's note. The manager said that he won't take it and that it doesn't matter (which goes against Indiana State Law and if they fire me because of illness then they have to feed majorly into my unemployment).

So I'm fairly certain that when I go into work on Monday that I will be sent directly home to think about what a bad girl I've been.


And now, to lighten the mood:

Aww I'm sorry Hyena. That seems like a really harsh policy, especially considering a) you were super contagiously sick - Do they want to get their paying customer sick!? and b) It's against the law. Oh Walmart.... *Shakes head sadly*

Also that video was hilarious. I need to find a cute nerd guy for myself still. I think I might have some impossible high standards though... Of course it would help if any of them actually asked me out...

I don't know if I'm going to be fired or not. A very large part of me wants to just be rid of Walmart. Simple folk create complex politics, I tell ya. If I end up losing my job, I might as well go with my fiance to Montana. >>

You know what you should do?

Become a giraffe.

Poor Heyna...

Poor nothin'. Getting fired means that I'm not obligated to stay anywhere. Only thing that ties me to Indiana now is my apartment, and that can all be arranged with a proper subleaser. I can go... somewhere else. I can be something other than "Lee Bradford, Walmart Associate."

Dad pretty much said from the start that the day I get fired from Walmart is the day we open a bottle of wine to my liberty. Trying to find another job will suck, but that's why I intend to go to Montana: tourist season starts soon and they will need desperate able bodies.

How old are you anyway? What kind of skills and background do you have? Have you gone to any kind of higher education?

I'm 24, I have a BFA from Ball State University in Computer Animation, as well as a bartending license, a brief (albeit unprofessional) background in medical/abnormal psychology, a performance portfolio in about seven years of dance, and the ability to lift 1/3 of my body mass above my head. There are many things that I can do professionally. Unfortunately, it would require me to move. The reason that I haven't moved out yet is because I want to have a good cushion of funds before I decide to take on the world with my 'can-do' attitude, just in case it takes more than the feeling of warm fuzzies to survive out there in the wilderness.

And now this: http://kittenwar.com/

To make me feel less depressed!

How can I choose one kitten over another, Hooow?

@ Hyena: Remind me never to work at Wal-mart. It makes me feel really sorry for my cousin now...
And congrats (I guess) for being rid of a shitty job! And with the list of stuff you can do professionally, I can't see WHY you'd have a problem getting another, preferablly better job....Well, other than the crap-asswipe economy.

I haven't gotten rid of the job yet. But with the way regulations are, its not a far stretch for them to fire me. So I just won't let them get to me. Rolls right off me. I am a duck.

Are you one of the ducks nesting in my pond?

I'm staring right at you, Biggles. Right at you.

Quack.
