7 Days

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 09:34:25 -0500

Today is my last day of my 7 day stretch at work. You bet I am excited about this. 2 days off. I can't wait until 9:30 tonight! I am so tired. And I am sure today is going to go by so slowly. It has been so busy in Walmart these past few days. A lot of people have been buying pool covers because of the cold weather coming. Or that's here.

I hope today won't be too busy. It is Monday after all. People should be at work! Not shopping. Hahaha. I just don't want to deal with any costumers today. I know, I know. That's the name of the game.

I only have 2 hours before I have to leave for work. Boooo.

Event Day

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:03:19 -0500

All I can say is that I am so glad that Thanksgiving is over with. Black Friday....oh black Friday. I do not enjoy you anymore. Working that 14 hour shift nearly killed me. Hahaha. Those people are animals. I can't believe how crazy they get. It is completely different watching them while you're working. They were even fighting over some equestrian helmets! I just don't understand it. Then most of them will return half the stuff they bought because they realize they don't really want it. It's ridiculous.

Like I said, I am just glad it is over with and I have another year before I have to go through it again. It is not something I will be counting down for that is for sure!

Black Friday

Black Friday was a mad house! I have never seen it so packed before! Then again, I've only gone 2 other times. This was the first time I had to work through it though. Haha. After that crazy day, I need to look in to how to get rid of eye wrinkles. Really, it was insane. People are crazy. There was still a lot of stuff left though. Which was odd considering the crowd of people.

Hopefully today won't be as crazy. Everything should have been put up last night. Lets hope it is! I am hoping today just flies right on by. I am really looking forward to Monday. I have 2 days off in a row. That is wonderful!

Come on weekend, fly right by!

Do I Have To?

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 11:16:24 -0500

After having 3 days off, it makes it hard to go back to work. Especially since they are only working me 2 days then I have another day off. They are getting me ready for Thanksgiving week. I won't even need all natural diet pills with all the running around I will be doing at work! I am not really looking forward to going in. I would much rather be in bed with Jeremy. Then again, who wouldn't?

I hate getting off at 11. Or 12. I just don't like it. Probably because of the 35 minute drive home. But, money is money. I don't want to change my availability because I don't want to lose any hours. So I might as well just stop complaining and deal. Pfft. Easier said than done!

Wish me luck going in today! Haha.

Taking It Slow

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:50:08 -0400

Yes, ChaCha is in slow mode lately. Apparently, they don't want to live life in the fast lane. So they decided to let us all take a breather and send us a question every 30 minutes or so. Ok, maybe that's not exactly their plan, but that's the way it's working out. It's killing me. I wake up at 7:30 in the morning and usually get on ChaCha by 8. I end up hitting 200 questions by 8 in the evening. Can you say terrible? I remember when you could do 200 questions in about 4-5 hours. It wasn't all that bad. It was doable. BUT now it's just dreadful. I sit and play solitaire all day waiting for questions to pop up. I'm getting pretty tired of solitaire. Haha. Waiting for questions from ChaCha is like watching a Delta faucet slowly drip drip drip.

I'm hoping it will all get fixed and things will go back to how they use to be. Maybe if things continue being so slow for them, they will bring back top guide. Haha. One could only hope, right? It would be nice. It would give us a chance to make SOME money. Time will see.

Catching Up

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:30:42 -0400

Sorry for not posting for the past couple of days. At least it's not a couple weeks late. I've been pretty busy working and taking care of Jeremy. Jeremy doesn't sleep very often these days. Only at night. So it gets a little hectic here. Yesterday, Jeremy didn't want to sleep at all. So what did we do? We baked cookies. I took pictures. Now it's the waiting game. I gotta wait on my sister to upload them since I used her camera. I made the thumb print cookies. They turned out pretty tasty.

Today I finished my daily work and now I am catching up on what I missed yesterday. I'm doing alright. I have about 70 more questions to answer and then I'll be caught up. Well, kind of. I'll still be missing one day of work. But, it's better than two. This weekend I will catch up on that day I missed and then some. Just to be ahead in case I miss another day.

Anyway, enough blogging. I'm going to go finish working and then look at commercial real estate.

Ebay

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:43:41 -0400

Tonight I helped my mom with her Ebay stuff. I never knew exactly how hard it is! I took pictures of like, 50 magazines that she's selling. I had to crop and resize them. It took so long and it's so redundant. I really appreciate and feel for my mom even more now. Oh, I forgot to mention how I am also uploading them for her. Wow, she has to do so much.

I want to help her out as much as I can. She does so much. She's amazing. Haha, no I don't want anything, Mom.

Slow Day

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:56:56 -0400

Today has been going by so slowly. Every time I look down at the clock, I think "Is that all it is?!" I woke up at 8 this morning. So maybe that's why the day has been dragging.

I did a lot of laundry though. I swear, we are never caught up with laundry. There's still two baskets full. I did three loads today and two yesterday. Yeah, that's right. We still have more. Haha. I guess that's what happens when you just let it pile up. I wish we could do laundry at least once a week. HA. Like that'll ever happen.

Anyway, I'm plucking my eyebrows right now. They are very bushy. Another thing I wish I could keep up on. I just always forget. Not like I go out all the time. hehe.

Well, I must get back to my eyebrows..before they become Big Foot!!!

Home Sweet....YEAH RIGHT.

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 01:17:47 -0500

Well, we are back in Hell. AKA California. I swear..I really hate this place. I can't wait until May. I mean..I didn't throw up AT ALL while I was visiting my mom and family. What happens this morning when I wake up knowing I have to leave? I threw up. What happened the minute I walked inside the apartment? I threw up. I don't understand WHY anyone would want to live in California. There's nothing but stress and money problems. That was the first thing I thought about. I looked at the bulletin board..and there's a list of things I have to take care of. That's what made my cry the most. Responsibilities and bills are so stressful.

I'm not going to work at the petstore anymore. Why should I? I get paid $5.56 an hour. Umm..hello...minimum wage is $8.50 here in California now. Not to mention on the weekends Liz has me get there at 8 in the morning..and I don't start getting paid until 9. Just thinking about it makes me want to puke. I hate it.

3 and a half months and all this California stress will be gone. It seems way too long. =(

I miss my mom so much already. When I was checking in the bags..and they said I had to run..I cried so much because I didn't really get to say good bye to her. Even though I know I'm going to see her again in a short time, it hurts sooo much. God, just typing it out is making me cry. I think I love my mom way too much. =D Oh well. It feels good.

Work, Work and More Work.

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 23:17:53 -0500

I swear..sometimes it feels like all I do is work. I don't do anything fun anymore. Besides watching tv shows with Nick. =D

Anyway.....there's really not much going on. Just trying to get medical insurance. I don't want to have to get a California Id. Mom was telling me I might need to. Bleh. That will be lame.

Nick and I just finished eating pizza. It was pretty good.

I don't have anything to say.......

I'll be in Indiana next week!! YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Cheese and Rice

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:57:40 -0500

Well, today was rather interesting.

Today I had planned to make a lot of phone calls to get some health insurance. I have a list of all the numbers I'm calling to get some quotes. Anyway, I had all this planned for today because I was suppose to get off at 1. I went to work this morning thinking I'm getting off at 1. WELL, at about 7:40 or so, I got a text message from Liz saying "Im at home hella sic im sorry honey". I got so pissed when I read that and I slammed my phone into my purse. See, normally I would get upset, then just deal with it and work the whole day. But I had plans. Serious plans that I really need to get taken care of. So, Penny called the shop at about, 9 and asked me how things were going. I flat out told her that I am pregnant and I can't work the whole day. She totally understood and then got upset because I didn't tell her sooner. Which was because of Liz. She told me not to tell Penny or Jay.

Long story short, I left work at 1 because Penny and Jay understood. They think that Liz is drinking again. Jay even said he's not going to have her work this weekend to teach her a lesson. He doesn't want her drinking. It effects her job. I mean, calling in sick or leaving early every other day..is so not cool. And I told Penny today I'm tired of covering for her. I can't handle it. Penny is going to talk to Jay about it.

I just hate when people slack and then I have to clean it all up. Grrrrr.

"Broken record talk tonight
Skip that needle
Back and forth on your mind
Wearing out unconvincing lies
I'm like a seedling dropped
From an old oak tree
Your shade dont hide no sun from me
Fake stories humor me

Suckin' on my brain
You're the teacher I'm the student
Turning things around
Your story's not congruent
Tabloids, decoys, pitiful excuses
Turning things around
You're turning things around "

I thought this song fits with the situaton with Liz. =D

Rain, rain don't go away.

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 10:30:17 -0500

Yesterday was terrible. We had a really bad storm. I was only suppose to work until 1...but Liz didn't come to work because of the weather. =X I won't comment on that. So, I had to stay until 5. The electricity kept going in and out..there were no customers..and yet..I had to stay. Every other business in Sacramento was closed. Except for the petstore. Way to piss me off.

Now, I understand that sometimes you just can't make it for work. But, what if I had something planned that was important after 1? What if I had a doc appointment??? Hmm?? I guess I would have to cancel everything. Makes me irritated. Shaina never has anything to do. Shaina can cover for everyone. Yeah, right.

I have to leave for work in 7 minutes. Another lovely day. I hate that shop. I hate working there. But I like the money. Damn damn damn. It's going to be another rainy day. Thank god. I laugh inside everytime its not busy. =D

Happy New Years!!

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 12:06:53 -0500

Happy New Years everyone!!! It doesn't feel any different..but, that's how it is every year, eh?

I partied so hard last night. Haha. Here's what I did.

I worked til' 4.
Went to Carls Jr. ate some green burrito.
Went home and took a shower.
Jumped in my pjs.
Got on the computer.
Watched everyone loves raymond (loveee that show)
Talked to my mom for two hours.
Got back on the computer, looked for sugar daddies for my mom.
Watched the news.
Went to bed at 11.

Hahah. That was my New Years Eve. Nick and I couldn't even stay up til' 12. Hahah. Man, we sure did party.
Here's my plans for today:

Get dressed.
Go to Jays and Pennys to feed and water.
Start laundry.
Get back into my pjs.
Clean the apartment.
Get on the computer.
Watch everyone loves raymond and two and a half men.
Get back on the computer.
Go to bed by 9.

Ohh man. Sure is going to be an exciting day. Nick is still sleeping. It's 9 in the morning and the bum is sleeping. Psh. Acts like he was up all night. Xena needs a bath. She smells like dirty dog. It's Nicks turn to give her one. She's too hard to dry off. She just wants to run around. She loooves taking baths though. She doesn't like it at first, but then she starts playing in the water and giving me kisses. =D I love that damn dog way too much. I swear. I really hope Ruby And Destiny take a liking to her. I know if they try to beat ass...Xena will lose. Xena is a lover..not a fighter. The only time I saw Xena get mean was when Tonia and I were play wrestling..Xena attacked Tonia and was seriously biting her. Haha. Tonia gave up the battle cause she couldn't stand getting bit. Xena messed her up. Good times.

Well, I'm going to start cleaning up a little bit. Oh joy.

Broke Ass Bitches.

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 23:25:43 -0500

So..today at work..someone stole my phone. I was in a hurry and put it behind the counter. Usually it's in my back pocket. I mean, I do this all the time. Shove it behind the counter. I didn't think someone would take it. I mean, it's behind the counter!!! Well, when I came back after helping a customer, it was gone. Why do people have to steal things? I don't understand it. I called my service and reported it stolen. The people can't use it ever. It's no good. Unless they magically change the esn number. Ha. Dumbasses. I was so pissed. I had to buy a new damn phone. Which means I can't buy my plane ticket this week. I will have to wait until next Monday. Urgh I hate people.

Anyway. That was my day. Nothing else exciting happened.

I took a picture of Puff. =D

Standard Break From Life

nospam@example.com (shainakins) — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:22:40 -0500

Work was terrible today. I did not want to be there. I didn't feel very well. =/

Found out some life changing stuff last night. I'm not even able to type it. It doesn't feel real. I'm done talking about it now.

ANYWAY. I have tomorrow off from work. I'm going to spend the time on the computer and resting. I'm super tired. It's hard working everyday without a break. I don't know how my mom and sister do it. =/ They are crazy. Especially my mom. She stays up all hours working. To support us. =D 'Tis is why I love her oh so much. But, it's still hard for me. Working everyday around the same animals. Blah. It's the same thing everyday. I don't know how Liz has done it for 16 years. I couldn't stay there that long. It's 10 hours everyday...doing the same thing! Ahh makes me go crazy! And sometimes those birds...ohhh man. They are so loud. Most of the time I can block it out. Sometimes it gets through though. =( Oh well. It's money in my pocket. No need to complain.

Nick surprised me today with two Alkaline Trio shirts. Very, very cute. I'll post pictures later. hehe =D I love Alkaline Trio. My favorite.

Now I'm just waiting for my Taco Bell. =( It's taking forever.
