An Update, Finally!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Yea, I figured I should update in the event anyone was curious what had been going on in my life since December.

Uhm, work. The other bather left, and then we hired a new one. She's still there and apparently is enjoying that work more than going to school to be a teacher. Also hired another bather who plans to go to academy. I decided against going for various reasons. I'm getting pretty good hours and though they'll be getting cut to be sure the new bather has the dogs she needs for academy my salon manager has already arranged for me to get more hours out in the store to make up for it, so I won't be losing anything. I was also recommended for and accepted a spot on a team that will be doing the planograms and stuff the last Sunday of every month to get ready for the next month.

Personally. Rammstein is doing a North America tour. I've been trying to get tickets for when they're in Jersey (about the same length of time from here to there as from here to Toronto) and I may have to buy them off of StubHub. They'll be there in May so I still have a while to figure that out.

My Jeep finally got its inspection. Still need to clean it out though and check and see if they did a tune-up or not. I was having problems with its hood that haven't cleared up even though they "fixed" it (what it was originally in for when it was inspected). It's not latching properly. Particularly on one side but sometimes on both sides so only the center latch is "holding it down" (but just barely). Hopefully now that the weather is warming up the damn thing will stay down.

I...honestly have no idea what else. They're talking at work about a trip to a drag show about an hour away and then a stop at a porn shop on the way back. No idea when that's supposed to be but a few of us were invited along.

Did I mention the Mini Schnauzer I was considering? Well, after a lot of thinking I decided against it and that it really wasn't time.

The other Sunday I called about an Irish Terrier that an elderly lady was looking to rehome because she couldn't handle her herself (she was the husband's dog) and if she couldn't find a home she'd have to send her to a shelter. After a lot of thinking I called and she said that some friends of her daughter were going to try her out and she'd give me a call if it didn't work out. Haven't gotten a call so I'm guessing it worked out, which is good because I still wasn't sure that it was time or that it was the right dog.

Otherwise...I can't be sure but I think I'm beginning to get a bit tired of my job. To be honest that idea is kind of frustrating on top of certain other things going on, but I don't have as much patience as I used to and as a result it's kind of stressful. Hopefully it's a phase or something. We'll see.
