Work is ridiculously busy right now. I had to stay an hour over yesterday and I bet I'll have to today too. Ugh. It seems like I work, go home to sleep and eat, then work again. Can't wait for Friday, when I'll finally have a day off -,- Well, jobs get that way and after awhile it's all like, same old same old. Yeah, days off are much better. Yeah, but it doesn't help that my key card is messed up for the week. See, out building is always locked and I need my card to open the doors. My manger says that since I work kind of crazy hours, she just had me on evenings. I come in before noon, so the lock won't open for me since my key comes up that I work afternoon. This all doesn't really make sense to me because I've worked these hours and earlier before and my key worked just find. I think she may have messed up and accidentally put me on days and can't change it. I'm just hoping it's fixed by Saturday, because the office workers won't be in then and I'm not sure how I would get in the building with no one there :/

Normally I wouldn't have something that suckeths so early in the morning but apparantly during the days I was off, some stuff happened at work. A girl I used to work with and a very good friend of mine has decided that in order to help us out with the manager from hell, she has talked to the district manager and the vice president about all of the work that our manager doesn't do. She has provided to them picture proof of this that she had of when she used to work with us....the only problem is that our manager has decided to ban her from the store because I think that our boss doesn't know that she had reported the complaint yet....what also makes this a little more hectic is the fact that one of our adc's apparantly is very buddy buddy with our boss which means for the rest of us who knows of the kind of crap that our manager pulls, this other employee can not be trusted because she might easily rat us out in hopes that it will make her look good....on the other hand, my parents have told me that a bank is hiring new employees in where they are being trained to work there and think that for my future, I should look into it...just in case the incidents with my manager doesn't work out in a positive way aka our boss getting fired for doing illegal crap!

I really hope your manager gets some justice to her, Mistica :/ It's just not right.
I have to rant for just a little bit here. Okay, I live with my parents. Sure I'm a bit old to still be dependent on them, but I know plenty my age and older who still live with their folks. But I'm saving up to movie out and pretty much waiting for my boyfriend to get a job as well so we can actually afford to live on our own. The trouble is that we're having problems paying for food right now. For some reason my mom just stopped buying food. With the exception of Bologna (my dad lives on it), cheese, bread, and cracker, we pretty have nothing. So I've been spending a good part of my pay check buying food and my boyfriends parents actually send him food, that's how bad it's gotten. I don't think it's my mom trying to rebel at us, I actually think she believes that everyone in the house can live on nothing but cheese. The thing that really bugs me is that she actually eats my food. I don't have a problem since I eaten her food for so long, but it really buys me that she's not buying food but eating mine. She's also stopped cleaning the house and when my boyfriend and I try to pick up, she stops us and says she'll do it. We have to wait until she leaves to do anything around the house. For example, the laundry hasn't been done for almost a week. We've tried doing it and she just stops us. I had to wait until today when she was out busy, get up early, and start some loads. She also gives my boyfriend hell every day for not having a job, even though he has put in tones of applications, but she doesn't have a job of her own and hasn't really been trying in search for a new one. I'm just so confused and a little bit angry. My dad is even starting to complain about the lack of food, and he'll eat anything. I honestly seen the man eat a bowl of shredded cheese with pickles. Time to go to town and buy some food :/

Maybe you could sit down and have a talk about it? Maybe if you get it out in the open and ask her privately if anything is going on....
Maybe she's having problems which means she hasn't been doing the things she has normally but feels a bit too proud for the routine to be going differently 9as in you doing things she normally does), or isn't noticing. She might be distracted/forgetful/? for whatever reason. Or a number of reasons. People are complicated after all. And the people we care about can sometimes be even more so!
I don't know though, but maybe you could ask her. You've already typed up some of the things bothering you, as long as you don't come across as accusatory, it might work out for the best.
Of course you know your mum better than I do, so it's your call.

Wow..that's very strange Bampot but I think I agree with mentalguru, maybe trying to talk to your mom might be a good idea. Well, yesturday was another sucketh day again....in fact, it was one of those days that made me question whether quitting my nail polis addiction was actually worth it or not. I went over to the main IBC bank to pick up an application for the teller job but when I got there, they had me fill out the thing on the freaking spot! Not only that, I didn't have my phone which limited my number of referrences to use and I honestly think I probably filled out some stuff wrong....I am hoping that maybe they don't call because it was embarressing enough for me yesturday and if they end up calling my boss for background checks, I don't want to know what she'll say about me looking for a job elsewhere....either way it really sucked yesturday...then Calavera is starting to drive me nuts! Ever since she shed, she's been trying really hard escape the cage and trying to the point where I'm worried that she'll end up hurting herself but what can I do!? It's not like a dog where I could just scold her because clearly that won't work with a snake! Why in the hell is sh*t happening to me as of now!

It was a good thing that you dropped the nail polish addiction, Mistica, no matter what you may think. You seem less edgy, for one thing. For Calavera, while I don't understand the connection with shedding her skin, snakes are known among pet owners to try to escape their cages. That's why responsibly-kept snakes, especially the large ones, are often enclosed in a locking cage.

*nods head* I know you're right, I guess with the stress it just gets really hard but I'm staying clean and that's a good thing...I just need to remember that. The problem isn't her getting out of the cage, she can't, it's designed for snakes so she can't get out of it but it seems that since she's shedded, all of a sudden she wants to escape and my main concern is her getting hurt, she doesn't do what my brother's snake did in where CaCelia would slither up the sides of the cage, Calavera just stretches herself straight up from the top of her cave and I know she has to be doing it continuously at night because every morning, that little digital thermometer is always knocked over so I know she's trying...the last thing I need to do is take her to a vet and tell them that she got a broken neck because she fell off her cave trying to escape! You would think since I handle her enough that this temptation would kind of just pass out of her system but apparantly it's only perked her interests receantly...I would think that if she was interested then she would have tried escaping sooner or something. She's just very odd as far as snakes go.

Good. Ah. Well, alas, due partially to not owning a snake, I can't help you any further, except that I've seen pet kingsnakes do it, too.

Oh geez. I'm an idiot. Not that big of a deal but...
Let's start from the beginning:
Okay, so today I decide to be a good student and go to the library. (As you do). After doing a bit of research for a short piece of work I'll have to do by early November I decide to look up the library resources on the university's computer.
They also have a list of past papers.
To my shock I see what I think might be MY academic years paper. I click on it and the date yes is in 2010. Freaking out a little, I get out of it before I can really read anything.
Stewing in guilt for a few seconds I decide the best thing to do would be to email someone in the Biological sciences department about it.
I instantly get a reply.
It was LAST years paper.
Indeed, it was a paper from 2010 as pointed out... but in May. In other words last academic years students paper.
DOH!
I had read that date (May 2010), but somehow my brain didn't register that we had PAST that month and we were in October, and instead of thinking I decided to email him about it.
While he was nice about it, I'm opretty sure he thinks I'm some sort of idiot who can't tell months (years?!) apart or something like that.
It just didn't register that the time was past for some reason. I emailed before I considered the date more thoughtfully.
So yeah, I'm probably an idiot to him.
(Duh MG, October comes AFTER MAY.)
An ethical idioit. (Or goody-goody idiot anyway). But still.
Gah!
In some ways it's sort of funny, but it's also kind of embarrassing. -facepalm-

exams are coming up. aside from that, all my other ''problems'' are pretty much shallow. like for one thing, I've become even more addicted to the internet ever since I've used the tablet. Mom's been more annoying than usual. I'm still shorter than everybdy else, and I live in Asia for crying out loud. I don't think that that growth spurt would ever come >: I've become addicted to junk food. again.

Meh, mom and I are at a good point now. I've been clear about how I feel about all this and she just responds with the usually, guilt-tripping replies. Usually going into a big cold shoulder for the rest of the day. But she apologized to me for something she said earlier this week (She made a comment on the shirt size I order, saying it would be to small for me [It's actually the perfect size, even a little big] and I kind of blew up on her because it's wasn't the kind of comment I wanted to come to after working all say while she sat on the couch and ate) by buying me a gift (Beauty and the Beast, which I was happy about. She sold all my Disney VHSs when I was little so I haven't been able to watch them outside YouTube). So were on good terms again.
Ugh, I ate when places do that, Mistica. It's always so stressful. I hope everything turns out okay :/ And be sure to not let things like stress make you give in. It will only make you more stressful, in the long run.
You're far from an idiot, mentalguru! That's an easy thing to look over. I always get mixed up on years. I spent half a year telling everyone I would graduate in 2007...when it was fall of 2007....I actually graduated in 2008 and spent most of first semester 2007 thinking it was 2006. That's an idiot.
Lol, I'm short. I just find short friends and they make me feel tall XD Just kidding, of course.
Right now, this kind of such because I don't want to go downstairs to use the bathroom. My dad and uncle are working on our front door and it's just kind of awkward. They get that srsguy attitude and I just want to stay out of their way. I woke up late too because I got up in the middle of the night with Zack, who's coughing and allergies are at their worst. He usually wakes up early in the morning with a coughing fit and can't stop. Luckily, we found out there was some Robitussin in the fridge that was still good. He's still asleep. I think I'm going to take some cash out of my next paycheck and bring him to the doctors.

Ugh. Today we got told of two assignments. One group work thing which is 25%of the module and another individual thing which is 50%.
Both set today. Both to be in by next tuesday. Did a bit of research etc. but still.
Meeting group on Wednesday, we're doing it on translocation. (Vaguely interesting... I just wish we were only doing it and not in ADDITION to something else at the same time.)
Tomorrow at least however lectures stop at 4 instead of 6 as they usually do on Tuesdays.
Hooray! I instead will use those extra two hours in the library!
Plus how can I get it down to two pages?! Bah, I always go overboard on the frikkin word count. I've too many things to say. I know it's slow now, but once I have my stuff together and start the stupid thing, next thing you'll know I'll have writtne twice what I need, and cutting things is always painful. Plus of course doing two things at once is bothersome. I'd prefer to be able to concentrate on one and then do another next week or something.

The second DA group that I have ever joined known as Shadow-Fan-Artists is officially dead...on sunday, the admin for the group has posted in the blog stating that he was closing down the group for good and since he has trust issues, he doesn't plan on handing the group over into another person's hands...what brought him to this decision was all of the haters who don't like the group...it's just so sad, there are so many good Shadow artists out there and the group even has over 1,000 members in it...it's just sad to see it go down like that.

Ever heard of someone called Gloria Tesch? (Read my lj post for opinions and relevant links) I am cringing. Seriously. On one level I feel so sorry for someone like that but AGH! mentalguru.livejournal.com/8638.html)

I couldn't find anything on that link, but it was easy enough to find her on Encyclopedia Dramatica (my computer needed a good spyware cleanup anyway). She makes Stephenie Meyer look modest, but at least Meyer sells her books. I feel sorry for her on some level, like you said, but it's hard not to be a little disgusted by a person who acts like they're better than everyone else.
