Well, the horse died. The family that owned him loved him. Makes me sad to have to do what’ll have to be done. Seems like a really undignified way to go. But there is no other way. I suppose I feel worse for those who’ve been tapped to assist me… I’m sure they didn’t sign up for this. We’ll all be given an extra day off with pay for it, at least. I feel like they’ll all be using it Tuesday.

Maybe try Sunday. That crowd probably was so busy drinking in the club on Friday and Saturday maybe they Will be too tired to come in on Sunday. And the cheap ones cannot come in because they already spent the little bit of money they had.

Sunday was crap too. Making a mental note to do weekdays instead of weekend during St. Patrick's.

Well, it’s done. My helpers did well, all things considered. Might take a little time for them to get their appetite back, though. They seemed pretty bewildered that I ate my lunch when we took a break for it. I asked the barn manager if she can put them on light duty for the next couple days. I think they’ll need it.

I have another long whine but I'm actually really upset about this. Because I interviewed for a transfer it sounds like I am not getting formally promoted in my current group. They are saying they can't because in the new group it is all phds with more experience than me so I have to be level 2. Ok, fine. But my annual review is due this week and transfers take time, so why can't I get promoted to level 3 in my current group and then leveled down again to 2 if I do transfer? And I don't even want to transfer anymore. I kept telling my boss that over and over today in our 1:1 and it was really awkward because I know the documents she has to submit to the promotion committee are due Wednesday. So she kept going on about how I am going to get a great salary offer from the new group and I was like but what is happening with my leveling to 3??? And for half an hour no answer I wanted to hide under my desk after and cry but I had dumb meetings all afternoon.

I think I'm probably the most boring person today. I don't drink so I'm looking forward to corned beef and cabbage that I have cooking in my crockpot and a mint shake. My daughter and I are dressed in St. Patty's day apparel though.

That's FINE!
I went to. Arby's, had $2.99 coupon for a Reuben (corn beef), I got treat size Jamocha shake.
I watched various St. Pat's parades, I tried for Chicago, but all the fuck they talk about, is dying the shitty river green, which they've done for the last 50 years. Why can't they just show the parade??
Big.fucking.deal!
I watched the Verdict, w/Paul Newman.
& look at my mom's photo, that we took when we went to brunch for mother's day. & my Irish doll.

I found out Lucky Charms aired a new commercial. The leprechaun puts on the most halfassed fake Irish accent I’ve ever heard (and thanks to various men who somehow think they can pull one over on the Irish woman, I’ve heard many). Well, as soon as the Irish woman heard, “they’re after me lucky charms”, her eyes lit up, and I was a little uneasy, after how the man who pinched her fares. So she threw a pillow at my youngest ‘refugee’, who is the one most apt to using that line on her.

So, the end of an era.

See I'm old (lol) so I remember when he got in trouble for trashing an entire fancy hotel room years ago and wondered if he had gotten worse.

OTOH Heard has a documented history of battering and abusing. & Often people repeat behaviors.

I hope he gets back on track. He seemed like a nice enough person before he got way into party life. I loved his work on "21 Jump Street"- this was way back when but seriously, the guy had potential.

I feel so screwed over and upset. I went to my boss about this again today and she got annoyed with me right away like " wasn't I clear about this yesterday?" I still think it's bs I can't get promoted in my current group before the transfer but then I finally told her I withdraw from the transfer if she can't even submit for my promotion with it pending. That doesn't make ANY sense to me they are acting like the transfer is a done deal and if they are I'm not interested. I've been completely hesitant this whole fucking time. So I said I want to withdraw from the transfer and my boss kept going on about how it would be better and it was incredibly awkward so I just left her office really upset again. PSA: don't work hard. This never pays off.

Since I have Friday off, I asked the manager who runs the shift I want to work tonight if I could come in tonight. She ended up giving me more than I asked for with her response yesterday, and I don’t know if I want to go in now, because you can’t really tell with her if she’s serious or not, and I really don’t fucking need her to try playing therapist.

I hope she’s not, but I really can’t tell, because she’s known both for her sarcasm and for a propensity to try being the hero of the day.

Outside of the club, everything and everyone (with exception to the belly dance instructor, who I spend time with outside the club pretty often) goes into a little box in the recesses of my mind, and stays locked up there until I’m in the club again. I’m sure she means well, but she’d best fuck off and not try to get involved in my private life.

It sounds...kind of serious? Hard to tell without knowing her and sometimes it's difficult to determine the tone of texts. That's a really forward thing for a manager to say. Your personal life is none of her business, nor are the details of your vanilla job.

I guess I’ll find out soon enough. You can never really tell with her, and that’s kind of the thing of it. Anyhow, if she were serious, would she really expect to impart something on me which I’m not already aware of?

I’m not mad at her, though. She was one of the house moms at my old club when I first started, so we’ve known each other a little while. I liked her better as a house mom… she always brought snacks I actually liked.

Well I got my shit together to at least pack for this dancer trip tomorrow .
Yeah for digging into the old stuff from ex-SD . Found a usable outfit ( that will be " new " to the club ). I don't wear it in personal life because the top is a little too tight ( VS cami thing with bra built in ) but I think it will work for the club. At Walmart got rhinestone jewels on clearance for $2 !

The downside is the travel costs. I just can't today with my side hustle ( massage during Noon to 5 before club opens ) so I think it's gotta be all club money on this one.

Bit of a damn shame really as I finally found some great male company in my city. BUT ...... 2-3 days gone will ( hopefully ) add a little mystery . That's what I'm aiming for anyway.

just spent an hour to listen to this guy, and was impressed by his idea. Not that I totally agree with him but he sounds refreshing. Forget about politics, if you go through life support section, many of us can use a citizen dividend (UBI). And that also means more money for SW in general too.

Side note to my upcoming trip :

Do any of your ladies have as assistant that has actually worked out ? Like .... someone to place your ads / text with the customers ( while you are driving ) so that things are lined up when you get to your next area ? I seriously may try to find an adult friendly assistant on fiverr or something.

Have you ever really wanted to be into something, but just never really could? I really wish I was into gaming more. Video games and tabletop games. And really more of “nerd culture” in general. There’s so much interesting stuff to it, it looks so fun, and people get so passionate about it. It’s like I want a piece of that passion. But every time I try, I just feel like I don’t have the attention span to actually stick to anything, like a long term game or even really learning how to do the in-depth games. Idk... maybe if I actually had more free time and money, I could pick it up. But I can’t justify spending much time or money getting into any new hobby really.

AChildOfBoredom
03-23-2019, 12:26 PM
^the thing of it is, a lot of people get in too deep and overzealous about it, as well. Which is what mostly put me off from every trying to get into it. And it seems as if people become addicted to it. I've never played video games, and I do worry that something like that could happen to me. I'm already apt to getting caught up when it comes to playing skee ball, and that one's quite low tech.

Between that and the stories of people who found themselves in that situation and what it was like for them before and after they got out of it.. e.g., relationships gone to shit because one gets a higher ranking in the game than the other, relationships gone to shit because all they did was play video games and use that to mask the issues they had to contend with but ignored because they were gaming all the time, etc., I won't buy a console or install any computer games.

If the others in this house wish to, they're free to, but they'll need to hook it to their own TV.... I won't have one in the living room. Fortunately, they don't seem to have any interest in them at all. Three of us came from Anabaptist homes where we simply never were exposed to them, two were homeless prior and seem to be content with a roof over their heads and food in their bellies, one is always traveling for her job and I doubt she has time for them, and the Irish woman doesn't like to stay indoors on her off time, so I don't really anticipate anyone bringing one of those into this house.

Winter sports. My ex-partner of 7 years hated that I wasn't into it .
5 and half years it was a non-issue living in Hawaii. Winter 2017 and Winter 2018 it was an issue.
It's a quirky thing were I am ( people are openly judgemental if you don't participate and do it well ).
How did it became appropriate to shame people for not doing what is a very expensive hobby ( at least $100 a day from what I understand ) ?
How is that ok ? The same people wouldn't shame someone for spending $10-$13 on dinner instead of $100.

An ex messaged me with,"Hey, I haven't heard from you in a while. How've you been?" Um, dude..you and I were seeing each other 4 years ago and out of nowhere you got married. I didn't even know that you already had a woman in your life until I saw the facebook update of your marital status. That's why I disappeared. What the hell do you want now? Over the course of 12 years this ex and I dated and broke up multiple times. I'm going to assume that he's bored in his current marriage(3rd one now) and trying to reconnect for a booty call. Not interested.

^ Your warning sirens are probably going off for good reason. Creepy coworkers suck. Avoid him the best you can. Hopefully he'll get the hint. If not, start boring him with talk about your boyfriend.

A custie bought me a pearl necklace. I'm not much a jewelry person but I love pearls so I will probably actually wear it. It's kind of amusing that he picked pearls. Anyone find it funny to think about a custie randomly going into a jewelry store and buying stuff? Like, what the hell do they just suddenly think,"Hey, I should go buy that girl a necklace!" He bought it from a local boutique shop that only sells pearl jewelry. I looked it up and it's a $110 necklace. I'm still procrastinating on homework.

After buying human hair wigs from both AliExpress and amazon , my conclusion is that personally I think AliExpress has better quality wigs. And better pricing. Only downside is they take a little longer to receive.

I used to buy a lot of clothes from AliExpress, until I found SheIn.com
The sizing is better, and you get the clothes way faster.
aliexxpress does have a LOT of trendy clothes tho. But they're sizing way too off for me.

Good to know. I am glad to read that you both have had positive experiences with SheIn. I was thinking about purchasing from them but the foreign and foreign-sourced companies make me wary because of how some of them take forever to send clothes. Then when you do get the clothes they look nothing like the picture, look cheap Halloween costume-ish, and are of a crappy quality.
