Officially I quit LensCrafters. Target had asked me to say on full time.... and since they are closer and they give me atleast 22 hours a week [but mostly more then 28 a week which is like 3 months worth of hours at the old job]. But John told me as I handed him the two-weeks letter, that I was a "re-hire" and that he understood that I needed to do what I need to do since I had to pay for school and etc and I will be missed.
My friend had her baby....OH MY GOSH! She is BEAUTIFUL! ....and LOL the day my other friend Spunk and I visited her.....they plotted the marriage of my nephew to her daughter....... WTH? The girl was JUST born and my Big Boy is not even 12 months yet and they are planning to marry them off to each other LOL!! My friends are freaking nuts.
I don't think I really have any news worthy things to talk about. I do admit I miss those I used to talk to online and I feel sorry if you think I snubbed you!

As in job news, I am now one of very few girls on the morning shift of Backroom Stockers. [Rachel- our manager and Kristina who I was told could be mistaken as a guy by the way she acts LOL It was true] I love it! Seriously...like first day I felt like I was one of them, Lenscrafters even after 1 1/2 years...I do NOT feel like I am really a aprt of their "group" and with Wal-Mart, I knew of people from high school...but I had my lunches with my mom....no one really approached me and never truely let me join their groups during meals. But with Target.....I fit in. Once Jerry [my trainer...the other is Brandon...not "official" trainers btw] found out I was a gamer, it was NONSTOP talk! And I all I said was while he was showing me the walker was "Oh like the controls on a arcade game?" "Yea...wait...you're a gamer?" "Umm....yes?" "SWEET!" and then on Friday.... I pwned their butts in Soul Cailbur 3 [I got my butt kicked too LOL]. ANd the work, it sounds harder then it is, only frozen sucks cuz it is FREAKING cold!! Plus ...plus....they are giving me 29 HOURS! A WEEK! For next pay period....58 total hours.... th-that's 3 months at LensCrafters! I feel like I fit in. I can not express in words how good it feels to fit in at work....so much better then feeling like a wallflower without a date at the prom with massive blemish issue and buck teeth.
I talked with my mother today....she made me feel good. She told me that the other day, my father was worried that the reason I didn't inform them that this month's payment for school was due...was because I couldn't afford it. [he didn't know that the deal was for the 6 payments They pay 3 and I pay 3. And mom said I was to take Nov. and she would pay for Oct. for the last two months] Mom then assured me that I don't need to feel ashamed that my parents when we go shopping take my items and pay for them even if I object. She told me that they [mostly her] are doing it not to make us kids feel bad but it was their nature to give us stuff, namely for my mom it was because she didn't get much from her parents [No magic for Christmas or holidays....just money... no tree no lights...no wrapped presents. SAD I KNOW!].
Then she told me that she was very proud of me that I been working hard to keep a grand in my bank account at all times, and that I understood that work [ea-LC] was not giving me enough hours to support myself, and that I sought out new employment to help pay for bills and maybe have money to spare. Even if it took since May to now [tough with the economy going almost belly-up]. Also LC called.....was going to ask what hours I wanted for next week [not that they would GIVE me then to begin with -.-] I told them not to bother and that I was going to go causal part-time and I couldn't work this Sat. [Spunky said it would be better then straight up quitting... that way if Target doesn't hire me full-tme after the holidays...I still have a job].
Maa...this is the first time in months that I felt good!
Well, that is all for now. Sorry for spamming LOL <3

Today was the first part of my English mid-term, which meant the multiple choice answers and short answer part of the mid-term. Funny thing was, after I recieved the mid-term from my professor I realized that all the correct answers were in italics. On the ENTIRE paper. And I wasn't the only one to realize this; Ron and I discussed after the mid-term the funny thing about it. Both him and I fininshed the mid-term quickly, being the first two done. LOL But before anyone complains about it was cheating..... trust me we had professors do that on the exams and stuff just to see if we are paying attention to the questions. I had a professor that had a 200 page exam that if you DIDN't read the questions or the intro on it then you would had wasted 3 hours on doing a exam you would had failed because all you needed to do was put your name on it and answer the LAST question. But I am going to go talk to the professor about the exam. Maybe he didn't know...who knows.
In other news, today i start my orientation for Target. Yup I got the job. Go me! Its four days a week from 4 or 5 am to 1:30 pm. I GET TO SEE DAYLIGHT!! Ku Ku Ku ku. But I was hired as seasonal, so for now I am not going to quit LC but go causal part-time because if Target wants to hire me after the holiday season then I am so going to switch jobs.
Princess Pink and I celebrated her going full-time at her new job [long story on that] and me getting a new job...also the fact we both knew that Staples was going to hire Prez [Prez thought they weren't...she should listen to us more often.]. We were going to go clothes shopping...but it didn't end up that way. LOL It NEVER does with us. We started by going to Ricky's for ice-cream...her puppy-dar went off....some lady was selling puppies in the parking lot. I wanted this male Bealge puppy so BADLY! He was so cute and calm and he was all loving on me...and he was only $125 and was a purebreed. But Princess Pink did make a valid comment.... he was from a independant breeder and no papers...which means yes he looked healthly and whatnot but he was bred in the same place as the other puppies that didn't look so good. Plus...you know I have the 4 dogs at home. We don't need a puppy.
.....plus my mom said she would break my legs if I brought a puppy home. Which is sorta what Princess Pink and I said she would say. LOL
We ended up going Halloween costume shopping. I HATED it. We found all the ones I wanted in XS, S or Med, which is Princess pink's size...and none that WOULD even bother to fit me. All the ugly ones would had fit me. So we went to the Mall feeling unhappy with Spirit. [halloween store btw]. Hot Topic had my sizes...but DID NOT LOOK GOOD ON ME. Spunk said i must wear one to show off my bust. O-okay? But she found a Sailor costume she liked...put it on hold. She wanted to do a theme thing... so we tried to find one for me to match hers. NO DICE! So to Party City we went. I found a Gangaster moll costume I LOVED...she loved...but it killed the theme.
So off to Target...... nevermind both of us were now feeling ill from Eating at Panda Express... NO WANT CHINESE FOOD MADE BY MEXICANS!
I looked online..I found a Lolita costume I fell in love with [more so then the Mobster Moll one]... and turns out...She had loved a Geisha outfit at Spirit and if I got the one off of Target then we would have a theme! That or since its a Lolita outfit..... she could always do a punk lolita with nothing but Hello Kitty. I think i now fear that idea. And I gave it to her.
I so want to go outside and randomly tackle and lawn wrestle with someone. But I can't because i am in my work clothes. Jess said that maybe in two weeks....her and I are wrassling >_< Sweeeet!
Sorry for the long entry. I am bored.

Update for this past week.
On Thursday my Uncle Bobby died, technically he was my great-uncle since he was my grandmother’s brother; he died of lung cancer if I am correct. But then again he was raised in the period where everyone smoked, ea- the 50s. I couldn’t go to the funeral because I have my classes and I need to take care of the dogs while my parents attend. But then again as I discussed with my mother, I couldn’t remember him too well so it would be better to stay then be confused upon whom he was other then “He was apart of the elderly couple that always fought.” He was mostly deaf and everyone seemed to always scream at him to get him to understand, hence the “fighting.”
Work is just, to coin Spunky, “dicking” me around. It is an utter and complete waste of my effort and time at this point. I was to work from 3pm to 9:30 pm on Friday, I clocked in at 2:55 and was off by 5:47 and sent home. Originally I was only suppose to work on Friday, but during the week I was classed and asked to fill someone else’s shift on Saturday because Retail needed her on the floor. So that was a 2 pm to 9: 30 pm shift. I was out by 8: 32 pm, granted it was a later time to be sent home, but when I am working maybe two shifts or less a week, it kills me because my paycheck will be less. My last check was barely over $200. FOR TWO WEEKS. As I said before to Spunky, that’s alright for a high schooler who is just having a job to have money to play around with, but I am twenty-three with BILLS that are $200 plus each month. If it wasn’t for my parents, I would be in major trouble. Granted this week I am working Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But lord knows how badly I will be cut on those days. And best yet, next week I am not even going to GET any hours. Period.
I hope and pray ANY of the other places I been applying to will call.
I also had a fight with Lincoln yesterday. She has been one to always claim “Call Corporation!” or “Go to the Unemployment Office and get your hours!” Yea, that sounds like a wonderful game plan, but she keeps forgetting one thing. I am part-time. I can not go and do that; if I were a full-timer then I could demand I get my hours and blah-blah.
But Spunky agrees with me, it won’t work for me and all it will do is either give them just cause to fire me or cut my hours even more. Granted Lincoln is pusher then me, but she either had a full-time job or her stories of people doing such were about full-timers. She just won’t get it in her thick head that I am a part-timer and I have no power. The only thing I really can do is try to seek employment somewhere else.
What does anyone else think? I could really use some advice on this topic.
It hasn’t been that good of a week for me. But hopefully I will find my silver lining in the clouds soon.
I also been thinking of selling off some of my mangas, namely the yaoi ones; ea- the ones that were impulse buys or I thought I would enjoy them and didn’t or ones I haven’t touched in lord knows how long. I will post up a list of what I am thinking of selling and condition of each and I am willing to discuss prices.
Sorry for the rant...

Well, I believe I did say I was going to make a post in the near future and here I am once again. LOL.
Work is not getting any better; my hours are still horrible [next week I am only getting 6 hours for the entire week]. I did discuss with my “trainer” about if they were trying to get me to quit or not, since the pattern clearly says they are, she replied in the textbook fashion, to sum it up “No we are not. It’s because of the economy. We wouldn’t bother training you if we were.” I do not believe they can USE the economy as an excuse if their full time is still getting over 35 hours and I can’t even get the legal minimum of 15 hours. She states “The Full timers need to get that to get their benefits” Funny…I got benefits as well and my entire paycheck is paying for them. In other terms BULLS**T!
No more ranting on that, it just makes me irritable.
But I can not say my job is 100% evil/bad. I had a good Friday, it was …….entertaining?
LouHou and I created “Kangaroo Boxing” and the spinoff of “Masked Mexican Kangaroo Boxing”… I am EL Diablo Roo, she is Senor GoodDay. Robin said we are retards. LOL. Maybe we are. Later on Robin came into the lab and threw Roman Tomatoes at us, I threw one back. Later she threw a tomato at me, though I caught it and it exploded in my hand. I think she was drunk from eating all the grapes I brought in from my home. She kept eating them! Lou wants to go on the Gong show and do Kangaroo boxing….. O-okay? Also for some reason Shae on Thursday was trying to get my picture, I was avoiding that. I even played turtle and ducked my head into my labcoat. I do not like having my picture taken.
By the way, I brought in a full bag of pears [second bag] from the pear tree on our land, and grapes from our vines. The girls on the retail were asking me what the heck we have on our land. A pear tree, four apple trees [different types too I forget what kind], two plum trees, a weeping cherry tree, three rows of grapes [different type I forget what kind]. The reason I don’t know what kind is that it was planted about 15 years ago and even my parents don’t remember. LOL, aren’t we wonder? The girls were like “BRING IT IN!!!” I guess they enjoyed the fruit? I don’t know we never really eat it nor have the time to pick it before they go bad and end up tossing it across the road into the woods. I forget why we even have the fruit LOL. My mom was experimenting.
I really don’t have much more to say. I got into the series, Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Yea I know I am jumping on the bandwagon, but I read all 210 available chapters and I am hooked. It took me since Wednesday to finish it, only because I had to go to school and work. But I read like the first 60 on Wednesday, then up to 120 on Thursday, 170 on Friday, and finished it up on Saturday. I do have favorites… but that’s a secret~! I do want to cosplay as either Hibari or Chrome/Mukuro.
***UPDATE***
I got a email from Geico...... I didn't get the job.

In the early part of the year my beloved grandfather passed away, and I never really got over it, but then again who could? But recently I been calling my grandmother twice a week, keeping in mind of not calling on certain dates [Thank you cousin Joyce for that monthly calender you post on your website!] as to not upset her and remind her that the man she knew for 53 years and was married for 50 years was no longer there. I been able to heal and help her heal [my dad calls her too...my brothers not so much...though I forced them to do so a few times.]
I now have a lil nephew born in June. He's my sexy lil guy too >_<!!! Only 3 months old and he has everyone wrapped! So far I already got him addictted to G4 tv. He likes Attack of the Show and Ninja Warrior. D'aww he's going to be my lil' gamer buddy. Also he seems to enjoy sleeping on auntie's ample bosom -.-;;;;; [IDKY]. News on my niece is that FINALLY the court ruled in my brother's favor! Though now.... he may have to do a deployment [I think that's what it is called?] >_< Which means he loses her and she goes back to the idiot mother ee;;
Schoolwise...I switched my major from Education to Human Services! I must admit that I enjoy the classes more. I did not do so well last semester [which supports the idea that I need to be in a classroom and no more online classes].
Also I am currently seeking new employment. My current job just crossed the line. Not going to rant, but if you wish to know leave a comment and I'll give you the short-hand version.
But I have been doing better. I thought about getting into the dating scene. Lincoln supports that idea, she feels it may do me some good. Any takers? LOL!
Well, that is all for now. Hopefully I will have something more another time.
