That's actually a lot of hours for a non-salaried position :O A lot of the policies seem weird, honestly. Like if they know closing doesn't take so long, why schedule extra time for it, and then send people home? It just seems counter to efficiency/good business practice.

Haha, I 100% understand. On the days I go into the office, I wake up a 6:30 to shower and get ready, and don't get home until after 7:30. Doing anything that involves moving or thinking after is pretty much not a possibility. It'll be an adjustment for me to work 5-straight days in office, too. Working from home 2 days has given me a lot of flexibility to head out to the gym for lunch, etc.

It's kind of funny - it sounds like you're pretty much ending up back where you started. Just at a different salon. But with more hours - so that's an upgrade, at least!

I think they schedule you that late so that if closing DOES take that long, then you're there. I have no clue. At my old place we were open til 9 so I would just clock out whenever I was done.. whether it was right at 9 or at like 10PM. Seems strange to me for sure. This place has a lot of little oddities I'm learning.

I wish I could work from home! I think, though, that if I continue to make sure I'm going to the gym really regularly on my days off and attempting to get one extra morning in a week or something then it's still mildly worth it. If I go at least 10 times a month that's like $5 a visit which is fine with me!

More hours and a bit of a raise, so that's a plus.. but if something amazing comes along my way that's closer to home.. I'd be allllll over it.

Ah, that's a pity, but fair enough :) That sounds like fun! How was the movie! And yay that's great! So you've been doing better then?

Aha, that one works XD And if they ask Oh so what are you doing in the meantime: keeping myself occupied. You're taking classes and averything though, so it totally works!

That's great! And Urgh, that's really annoying about your boss. Are you doing phone interviews the days you work from home then?

Mh, well, she sounds hard to deal with, so I can understand you feeling good about it XD

Mh, nothing much. Still no news about phds. Tomorrow's grandpa's 90th birthday though :) We're going to the restaurant with 11 friends of the family :) Should be good!

Kind of a waste of time :/ Ah, that's cool. I don't even know any places that do brunch where I live XD It's not a very French concept lol.

Hey dear! How's it going?

Mostly I do them from home. I've had to run outside a time or two when I do go in, though! I'm going for an in person interview on Wednesday, so I'm going to have to call in sick.

A 90th birthday is a pretty big one! My grandma will be 90 in April, too. Any excuse for dinner and cake!

Boo on the PhDs. Have results come in or you're just waiting for news?

That's the thing with any new job. There's always something to learn, even if its similar. I personally enjoy learning though; I get bored.

Totally understandable. So you'd never consider moving closer?

Working from home is a double edged sword. You miss people and interaction, and you have to motivate yourself which can be hard.

Brunch isn't French?! We eat crepes at brunch usually!

I really like learning something new too! I like a challenge C: If I really like it and see myself there long term we'll move, yeah.. but Nathan doesn't have a full time job yet either so it depends where we wind up working the two of us.

What's a pity? I lost track 0-0;; Actually screw it I completely lost track. Start fresh? What did I miss?

Start fresh indeed! What are you up to this evening?

I took a huge nap and woke up at 3:30am oAo What about you? How was your evening? How is your morning?

Evening was good! We got some groceries and then I watched TV and went to bed early. Just finishing up a cup of tea now. Gotta get dressed and head out to church soon ;) And then I'm going to a gym class. Other than that I plan to make some meal prep today, do a puzzle and watch more curling!

Morning

How is everyone? I keep getting lost in here, apologies! Chii is sick currently, but I hope I'm improving. I've been without my vape for the last 2 days because it was too harsh on my throat, so I'm dying over here. Aaaand I just realized I said I hope I'm improving and then followed it with I'm dying. I feel so muddled.

On the upside, I'm trying to think of new goals or hobbies to pick up still. I did pick back up my practice with Spanish, so we'll see how that goes!

Shuffles in. owo; I'm alive!!!

Sorry for the delay. Glad you had a nice night! It sounds like one of those soft-quiet nights... not sure if that description even made sense :P Ah well. I had planned to go to church today, even made it there.... then the trippy migraine kicked in =n= I decided to leave when I saw the asphalt ripple .-. This seems to have been a good move :P What meals are you prepping?

Sorry you're still sick! I was hoping you were feeling better! D: TWO DAYS WITHOUT!? My sympathies. I really do know the feels. U-U Are you feeling marginally human or zombie?

Alive? Hello ^-^ Did you fall off the face of the earth like I did for ages? XD My memory is terrible so if we've met before, I do apologize. Otherwise, it is very nice to meet you :3

Oh My Gosh, That skin on your avatar! I love it! How did you get it like that?

Right now, I'm feeling pretty human but depending on how the day shifts sometimes it gets worse and other times its better. At this point just the right side of my throat hurts. But at the same time, tea and cough drops and such don't seem to be helping any now.. v.v;

What makes me even more upset is that I'd just gotten back into streaming, and now I don't have my voice enough to do so. Since I don't turn my webcam on for streaming, It's imperative I talk a lot with my viewers.

-dejectedly deflates like a balloon-

hugs deflated balloon With luck you'll be able to stream again in a few days. Until then I hope you take proper care of yourself so you can get better even sooner! I myself will probably be retreating to bed soon. >-< Tis frustrating Ahhh the skin for my avatar is quite a blend of layering actually XDD It's the base of the galactic skin from Moroside and well here lemme see if this link will work Outfit (if it doesn't work I'll make a list for you) I really really like how it turned out XDD

Ah! That Worked! Thank You Kindly! :3

It's super cute, wonderful job! I wish I hadn't missed the Morostide skins. D'aww, are you not feeling well again? :< Poor Dot..

Gah, Halfway through my shift! I can't wait to get home. I should probably dig into my lunch right about now.

I did. It was i think like 6-7 months ago? something like that.

Ah! Migraines are no fun! I made us some quinoa salad for lunches this week. We have a big vat of it so that's set C: Just having some hot chocolate now! How's your day going?

Helloooo!

Hello! :D waves

No worries, I've lost track, too. Went to a friends' over the weekend, so I'm starting mostly from scratch today too :) We did a big girl's night with 7 of us, went to dinner, and then brunch this morning, so that was nice. How has your weekend been so far?

Aw, hope you feel better soon. Getting the flu/cold really sucks in the winter. Hopefully it clears up soon.

Yeah, gotta keep the job fresh, right? I find I need a change after a few years no matter what; I get restless.

I didn't realize Nathan didn't have full-time either :o I thought he was the main source of steady income for you guys, since your hours used to be less set in stone. I guess it would be nice if you both find something near one another, so no one has to sacrifice with a commute.

Hey girls :) How have your weekends been so far?

Hi! Very good, thanks! My friend came to visit me this week! We had lots of fun :D How was yours? c:
