The Good...
As predicted, I got my splork (that's right, peoples, "splork"!) of creativeness in today. I have two major pet comic projects right now; both tend to lean toward a hiatus/on again/off again status in my brain. "Vita Via" is taking its "off again" for the moment, but my other, which is nameless right now, had its characters totally revamped.

I now have Hyemi, Ruebella, "Gia", "Thaddius/Thad", Rhawn, and Siama in proper humanoid forms (some, like Ruebella, aren't human--loooooooong story that I'm not willing to detail here for fear someone will steal my ideas ^^). "Drayo", "Era", "Azala", and "Mizu" await further development. I'm still toying with how to start the whole story off, but I've got a good idea of where it'll go. I also can already tell it's going to be a story that unfolds as I write it--I can't really plan ahead too much.

Glee! It's just nice to feel creative again. The vacation time coming up should give me a few hours to play more (it better *glances at Mom*).

Jenna also spotted a set of apartments that are in my price range AND my home range (I have a set area I want to move to--my "home range", hee). I am very excited about that! ^^

...the Bad...
Management has really lost it this time.

It started with the opening of the new store. Home Office said we'd only lose 3% sales; we lost 1o%. Management reassured us we wouldn't close. Our area director's pulled out on us now, which is making some of the veterans nervous/suspicious (I'm rather indifferent, to be honest).

Monday, I've got my day filled up with big gaps. Not only do I have a double, I also have a meeting smack dab in the middle of my break that makes it pointless to go home for a bit, but also leaves me wandering the store for an hour on either side of the meeting.

Tuesday I was supposed to prep for my vacation and say goodbye to loved ones; management was nice enough to give me that night off so I could. Today I've been told that there's another meeting, once again, smack dab in the middle of the day. Another three lost hours.

On top of that, I also learned today that the Expo Certification meeting is on the Sat. I'm out of town. Management's griping at me for being out of state. Well, I'm sorry, but I had this vacation planned for two months now, and I'm not backing out just for some chunk of info I already know backwards and forwards. For Auron's sake, I've worked in Expo for several months now; I should know what I'm doing.

Just a little irritated. Again. >_> Once we get past this whole mess of job and moving out, I'll be in a much better mood.

...and the Ugly.
Awww, but then I won't have the internet anymore. So you won't be able to tell.

Someone leaked that I'm leaving the store in Sept. Big chunk of the server staff was in an uproar. Mweh, I'll pretend to be ticked about that so I won't care so much.
I'll still got a few months. Sheesh. Bunch o' (wonderful, caring) buttheads. *sniffle*

And the manager-who-shall-not-be-named is getting a lot of servers honked off. He's also getting control of the schedules after this. I have no problem upping my hiring date for my other job if he screws me over like I have reason to believe he will.
Especially if he sticks me in smoking like I think he'll try to.

Despite it all,
I've never had it better in life, really, I haven't. I know I bellyache a lot about work, but I'm actually in a very good mood (oh yeah, the vacation thing. ^^).

Live as long as you want, prosper as much as you want, and don't let anyone steal your pride.
