OH HAI.
Work Things → I got an offer letter yesterday. Basically on Tuesday I was all, "Why are we still paying the temp agency, this is ridiculous" so they've signed me onto the actual company as a temp instead of me being technically employed by somebody else and just working there. It makes me feel a little bit better and it also comes with a $3.00/hr raise, which is okay but in all honesty still not on par with the work I do there. I got really frustrated with all of the titles and protocol, it bothers me that pay is based on title and that the quality, speed, and efficiency of my work isn't even taken into account or considered. It's kind of crap and I didn't sign it yet. I started looking for jobs yesterday - our competitor needs someone to fill the same position I'd take if we had enough brokers HERE for it, so I might apply for that. I also found a company just down the road that needs a graphic design assistant and it pays the same. I just hate looking for jobs, doing resumés and interviews and shit, I really suck at interviews, you guys. "Recall a situation where there was a conflict that required you to effectively break the rules in order to solve it." UM, IDFK, THERE'S NOT A TAG ON MY BLOG FOR THAT SHIT. Idk. I will probably sign it with the mutual understanding that if things don't work out in a more permanent way by the end of October, I'm outtie.
→ The company has this like, Thank You program where employees can send them to each other when they do something really great and they're entered into drawings and things, and I got my first one yesterday. From the chair of our charity committee, thanking me for making the upcoming event series look so nice and constantly doing great work for it. The same thing that, two days ago and according to someone else, was "probably not the best use of my time". lol, except it really was though. ♥ Nevermind the fact that I was happy the entire time. People just trusting my artistic ability completely and leaving me to it.
→ NEXT WEEK, I AM SO EXCITED YOU GUYS, I GET TO WORK IN OUR DOWNTOWN OFFICE ALL WEEK. I get to support my own team and I plan on working my ASS off so both they and my supervisor will know how much more competent I am, how much more I deserve an actual position, and how LITTLE OF A REASON THERE IS for inefficiency. "I think it'll also be great for you to get a taste of what it's like working with them," as though I'm in for a wake-up call, but CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. AND!! It's literally two blocks away from Jason's apartment! If they would have had me do this a couple of months ago, it would have been a huge pain simply because of the commute but now I can just walk! I can just stay there and WALK TO WORK IN THE CITY, outside, in my heels and fancy clothes - it's like playing house except playing "big girl work" instead. ALSO MY MOM GAVE ME THE CUTEST CUDDY-LIKE BUSINESS SUIT AND I'VE BEEN SAVING IT (lol, lemme borrow that top - what are you saving it for? you're not even wearing it.) BUT I'M GOING TO WEAR IT, PROBABLY ON MONDAY, AND WALK IN LIKE A BOSS PROBABLY WITH A BOX OF DONUTS. I'm going to be so pleasant I probably won't even be able to stand it, and I strangely look forward to this. /END.
Boy Things → I just have to tell you about a bit of non-cliché romance from the other day. He went to Target the other day and got me batteries for my new flash and camera remote, without even being asked and without me even bitching about not having any. He just did it. And I didn't even tell him what I needed, he looked up my equipment online and figured out what it all needed. I can't even. /END
→ Saw Apollo 18 the other day and IT SUCKED ASS. WHY HAS EVERY FILM I'VE SEEN LATELY TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY SUCKED ASS. I don't remember it being this bad before. :( And people in the theaters, too, so fucking loud and annoying I seriously don't even want to go anymore.
→ MY CYST IN MY RIGHT WRIST IS COMING BACK :( I had it in like, 7th - 10th grade and then I fell on it at dance and I think that killed it, lol, but now it's coming back and I hate it ugh ugh I HAVE SUCH WEAK WRISTS. Ali calls it my Cyst-er Sue. lol.
→ I'm going to dye my hair darker, I think, like an actual brown with a reddish/maroon tint. My sister got hers done last night and then we went in the bathroom and she hung her hair over my face to see and it looked really nice so I think I'll do that and then just go light again in the summer. IDK.
→ My little cousin came over last night too, she's a gd riot and it was so hilarious listening to her and her friend's Skype conversation. Hearing them swear and talk about boys, I died. My sister and I shopped, lol, Coach was having an online sale AND THIS IS WHAT I BOUGHT:
→ I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO TODAY. :) :) :)
