    @Frankie_Felinius - That's a lot to deal with. Are you going to make the switch?

    @LCbaby0x - That would be hard. Everyone expects everything to be perfect with the delivery and the new baby and that just doesn't happen. A million cell divisions to make a baby. There are going to be mistakes. It doesn't surprise me that there are birth defects. What surprises me is that there aren't more.

    @Frankie_Felinius -that's really a lot to deal with! I hope you can catch some kind of break soon. And, I didn't want to be the voice of decention, but I didn't really think the Sephora job was a good fit for you. I hope your insurance gets sorted out, though.

    I knew it wasn't either but I wanted it to be. :(

    @sufferlandrian I am making the switch. I'm guaranteed to go nowhere where I'm at and I feel like such a schmuck working here and for people who don't give a shizz enough about their employees to even pay them on time. Things might not be any better but I won't know until I try. I'm still going to try for something better in the meantime but sitting around at this place and waiting is killing me...

    Oh, another thing. I have to wear jeans. And steel-toed boots.

    JEANS? I haven't worn jeans in years. I don't even OWN a pair!

    This is going to be so weird, going from wearing a skirt or dress all of the time to jeans a lot of the time. The only time I wear pants now is when I wear fleecy ones at home. Now I'll be wearing jeans on the daily...weird...I mean, I understand why I can't wear dresses but that is gonna be weeeeeird at first!

    definitely right about that....its 100% times worse when sitting in a chair with nothing to do.....but I get paid for my potential to act, so I guess that makes it better

    Yes!! Sucks every night.

    @Frankie_Felinius Good Lord girl. I hope that this new position eventually leads to less stress and more cashola. I thought you'd do great at Sephora but then you brought up the whole being on point all the time and that would be hella stressful. I can def see how that would end up not being any fun at all and would just be more pressure.

    more like...I have to make an appearance as a representative of my volunteer fire dept at an awards/swearing in dinner of a neighboring fire dept....then be at work by 3am since apparently the cleanliness of the work refrigerator is more important to the schedule lady than the actual schedule is. gotta love priorities

    Seriously, why can't people just be responsible for their own food, so the fridge never gets to that point in the first place?

    It's gotten to be one of the unwritten rules at work. If the night crew spots something questionable in the fridge, it's going to be thrown out. Especially on the weekends.
