Dictated, not read

My cousin's wedding went really well. It was a beautiful location, everyone looked nice and there were no horrible issues during the ceremony. We even saw deer! A whole family of deer and they came surprisingly close to us after the ceremony when we were already taking pictures. I'll post some when I get a little bit of time.

Which I've had almost none of lately. Yesterday was my first day off in 10 days and I spent most of the day asleep or doing errands that I didn't have time for while I was working. I've been neglecting RP and my flist just trying to keep myself sane and happy. I'm sorry to everyone, I haven't abandoned you, I'm just up to my eyeballs in real life.

In other news, I got a fish! He's a black and blue betta and I have named him Mr. Tickles. I am entirely certain that three hams will kill him. For more information on why this makes me as happy as a bag of wigs see: http://video.adultswim.com/the-brak-show/goldfish.html

And now I'm off, yet again, to work.

Just finished my 10th day in a row of work. I haven't had very long shifts each day, but the mental energy (as well as the physical energy for about half of them) has really worn me out. It's a chunk out of every day for over a week that I've had to be at someone else's beck and call.

Thursday was pretty much the worst day I've had for a while. My little 19 year old "boss" got her panties in a twist and took it out of me at 8am after I'd been working my ass off for 2 hours. And I was in no mood to take it, so I didn't. I snapped at her when she implied that I wasn't doing my job right (a job I've been doing for 8 months, and she's been doing for a little over a month) and I stand by it. I work far too hard to take crap from someone who doesn't know what she's talking about. Thankfully that was the last time I have to work with her, hopefully ever.

On a positive note, I love the new Doctor Who. There's only been 2 episodes in the US so far, and I've actually been good and just waited until they were on BBCA (although I might end up cheating now that I'm hooked). But it's worth it. The new Doctor is awesome so far, and I'm totally excited about it.

And to top it all off: The bunnies that live in our backyard are so cute. They were playing the other day and I got to watch. It's almost like having pet rabbits, only we don't have to worry about feeding or keeping an eye on them.

So today marked my 7th straight day in a row of work. I didn't work full 9 hour shifts every day, but I did work at least 6 hours each of the last 7 days.

( cut for really long story )

My ability to fall off of the internet for short periods persists, but I have a good reason for once.

It seems like I'm about to get a promotion at work! I've been told it's going to happen, but that I can't tell anyone else in the store, which is fine, I can keep a secret. But I'm really looking forward to having more to do, more hours and best of all, a raise. I have no sure idea on any of it, I talked to my manager yesterday and the end of the conversation was "I will start you and Kristen (the other girl who is being promoted into the position that matches mine) on manager training next Wednesday." I TOOK THAT AS A PRETTY SURE SIGN THAT I GOT IT. But nothing has been signed, changed or done officially. Still, I'm super excited.

In other here news, it's snowing like a mother outside. They keep calling it a blizzard on the news, but it's really not a BLIZZARD by Colorado standards. They just like to blow things out of proportion. The streets kind of sucked this morning at 5:45 when I was going to work, but sucked far worse at 10am after 4 hours of snow were dumped on it. My grandmother, despite how many schools were closing down INSISTED that she had to have her hair done TODAY. My car is fine in the snow but I really didn't want to slog all the way to her house just to take her to a hair appointment that her stylist told her she could reschedule. So she got a ride with someone who lives near by and has 4 wheel drive. Sorry, Grandma, I love you but I don't want to take a 90 year old woman out in a bad snow storm so she can GET HER HAIR DONE. orz
