New Post OMG!!
Heee.. That's right.. New Post!!! Now will I keep up with it? Only time will tell!!
So let's see.. I'm 95% sure I will be transferring to a new store! Why? Because I feel that I am just burnt out at my old store and my old job. I'm tired and pissed off because of the bullshit that goes on there.
I did a lot for that store. If it wasn't for me, Award Day would probably be shit. I hand make all of the awards except for the service ones because the company sends those. Our boards are the best in the market. So good that they are the model boards for the market and the big market bosses expect all boards to look like the ones I made. I have revamped the Orientation training class system. No longer are new hires just thrown into their positions. Originally the training class would last about 3 hours where I slap things infront of them, tell them to read and then get out of my sight. Well I didn't like that to much because that's how I was treated when I first started. When I took over the training classes, they can last 8-9 hours and they actually learn shit! I make them take tests, go over every possible thing they may come across, then put them to the test out on the sales floor. I try to make a boring class fun. But meh, I'm only a standard worker. Apparently.
I tell you, an evaluation can shatter your will to work for a company that runs all over you. I always gave 150% to anything that I was given. I was put in charge of the Children's Miracle Network as the champion for raising money. I raised $30,000! Hello! And I'm a standard worker.. The previous captain, with my help at the end raised $!7,000. The year before that only $7,000 before I was put on the committee. But hey, I'm a standard worker.
I've been put in charge of the school supply lists. Ok why? I dunno. I'm a standard worker. Why was a given a task that a department manager should have been given because oh.. I dunno.. I did that same task when I was a department manager! >.<
I'm now the captain of the Miracle Mile Breast Cancer Walk. Do I care? Not really. I was made captain after my Evaluation. Wanna know how much I've raised? $10. Heh. I did say that I didn't care right?
I'm in charge of training people on the power lifting equipment. -_- They expect me to conduct a training class for everyone that wants to learn. Heh oh yeah right. They want to learn? I will test them one by one. I'm not wasting my time on a class with associates who don't give a damn. They are going to use the equipment regardless and cost us money in fines if they are caught. Do I care? Not really. Standard worker here.
I'm in charge of the associate sponsor program. -___- Can I say Damn it once again? I have to put together.. you guessed it.. a training class.......... >.<
Ok, I could go on and on about stuff that I am in charge of. Believe me I could, but I'm not. Because it's not going to matter anymore. After a week of constantly wondering if I am making the right decision to transfer, I look back at this list of bullshit and go.. Oh yeah.. that's why.
What to look forward to at my new store? No training classes to conduct! No Power lifting equipment bullshit! No Back to school lists! No Sponsor program Nonsense! No training plans! No CBL Enforcement! No Backstabbers! And to top it all off, a Store manager who has taken an interest in helping me get to where I want to go.
Yes I may go into drama, but hello. I've worked in Personnel for 2 years. Bring it on Bitches. Bring it on.
Stare at the cuteness!! This will be me going into my new job.

Random Mumbles
Sorry, I didn't really have much time today to write about anything... I was mainly spending the day being depressed because I have to go back to work after a long maternity leave.. ;__;
So, because I had no time to blog today, here's a random picture.
And because I told myself that I would never let my daughter Riley watch Barney, here's another picture because it speaks the truth!!
And this one because it's funny. Are those Duo's panties?
That is all. Good day.. and good night!

Demi Lovato
Every so often I'll find a musician or actor that I like. This time, It's Demi Lovato. Ok yeah, she's a star born from the Disney channel but so what? Her personality and singing make her awesome!
Demi began her acting career at the age of six on the children's television series Barney & Friends where she met Selena Gomez. I, being a Disney geek, loved the movie Camp Rock where she played the lead role of Mitchie, a girl who loved to sing and write her own songs. One of my favorite songs from the movie is "This is Me" where she sings with Joe Jonas.
I didn't really take notice of her until I watched the movie again (Disney likes to play their movies.. a lot..) and the song stuck in my head.. which in turn made me want to download it. I did, and have played it numerous times that have probably annoyed my lovely husband Chris.
Afterwards I decided to buy her album entitled "Don't Forget" that she co-wrote with the Jonas Brothers.
The songs, "La La Land, Don't Forget, Get Back, and Two Worlds Collide" are my favorite. Soon afterwards, I bought her second album that came out in July called "Here we go again".
But that's not the only reason why I like her! I love watching her show "Sonny with a Chance"
The series centers on character Sonny Munroe (Demi Lovato), who moves with her mother from a small town in Middleton, Wisconsin to Hollywood, California after being cast in a comedy show called So Random!. The series follows Sonny's first experiences with Hollywood and fame.
The show has been picked up for a second season so I look forward to watching that as well as Camp Rock 2!

LOLcat Invasion
I'm sure many people have seen a LOLcat somewhere on the web, the most popular one being "I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER" written underneath it, but one has to wonder.. where did the LOLcat come from? Where did it start? And... LOLcat... has it's own wiki page... I kid you not! Here's alittle from it:
A lolcat is an image combining a photograph, most frequently of a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncraticcaption in (often) broken English—a dialect which is known as "lolspeak" or "kitty pidgin" and which parodies the poor grammar typically attributed to Internet slang. The name "lolcat" is a compound word of the acronymic abbreviation "LOL" and the word "cat".[1] A synonym for "lolcat" is cat macro, since the images are a type of image macro.[2] Lolcats are designed for photo sharing imageboards and other internet forums.
The term lolcat gained national media attention in the United States when it was covered by Time,[3] which wrote that non-commercialized phenomena of the sort are increasingly rare, stating that lolcats have "a distinctly old-school, early 1990s, Usenet feel to [them]".
Of course LOLcats have their own website: http://www.icanhascheezburger.com
It was made by Eric Nakagawa after he discovered the first LOLcat image.
LOLcats even have their own world, were Ceiling cat and Basement cat were born. "Ceiling Cat" and the corresponding "Basement Cat" (a black cat who lives in the basement) have been said to represent God and Satan in the lolcat universe.
I do find it quite amusing to go to their website and browse the pictures. It's fun to do when you want to procrastinate! LOLcats also have a website that is devoted to their language and will teach you the Lolspeak
http://speaklolspeak.com/
Here are some examples:
Basement Cat - archenemy of Ceiling Cat
pawleetishuns - politicians
snoffee - (verb) unfortunate incident which can occur when laughing at a lolcat whilst drinking coffee. frequently results in the distribution of second-hand coffee onto computer monitor and keyboard.
sinkcat - A cat who loves to lie, sleep, sit, play or just be cyoot in da sinkz.
All in all, you gotta love the lolcats. Yes it's silly and sometimes you can't understand what the hell they are saying, but it's just pure fun. Nothing wrong with looking at cute pictures of cats doing silly things.
