    So the promotion I got, every time I talk to the higher ups as we arrange everything my salary gets bumped up just a little. Like I don't know if they honestly don't know what it is, they are actively changing it to see if I notice, or are just super impressed with me.

    Been home a few hours but still a little bothered. I didn't bring my lunch today because the boss said she going to foot the bill and buy for everyone. At around 11 am, she went around asking everyone what they wanted. Everyone gave their suggestions with mine being "I'm cool with whatever". We never got lunch.

    Today, after school, the high school's art club, gaming club, and the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America club all gathered to make holiday cards for seniors up at our local senior-retirement home.

    I was very happy to see that the gaming club had the most students at the event.

    We were asked to make 85 cards.

    I think we ended around 125.

    Both are equivalent pay bumps and both want me ASAP. Man this is a tough call to make considering i’ve been at the company for a month and basically finished my training for my current position like a week ago.

    but are they? I mean both teams want you. Certainly one of those two wants you, shall we say, just a little bit more?

    OH MY GOD hahahaha one of the pieces in my portfolio that I made SPECIFICALLY to attract MtG attention as part of a larger portfolio...(you can see that here:)
    jennifer-mills-mist-conjurer-final-web.jpg

    ...looks SO SIMILAR to MtG card art that was JUST RELEASED by one of their artists, here!

    I mean, it's entirely possible this artist had never even seen my piece, but...goddamn it! At least I was... perfectly on track? hahaha

    Very wishy washy about what they say they'll do and what they actually do.

    Continued work complaints. Possible trigger warning.
    Different security guard than normal today. One I'd never seen before. Seemed like it was his first day. His holster didn't have a bottom part to cover the barrel of his gun. Noticed that when he went to let us out, leaned over to unlock the door, and the barrel and I made eye contact.

    Every department has the department head do a walk with the GM or next down the line if he's unavailable, starting around 10am and ending at noon. There are checklist sheets for varying areas in each department, specific to that department. I have the largest department in terms of pure employee numbers, and mine is the last to walk.

    Highest score in the store! I've tied for highest a few times but yeah, eat it bakery/floral/produce/meat/deli departments! Front End in your face!

    Got some great instructions on these crimping sleeves

    1. Press the crimp sleeve into oval shape with plier (so far, so good)
    2. wear a sinle wire line firstly (I ... think I'm with you?)
    3. bend line and anti-insert sleevly (I usually try to avoid being sleevly, but LET'S DO IT)
    4. clamp the crimp sleeve ( disappointingly coherent)

    I think I'm going to adopt "Bend line and anti-insert sleevly" as my new personal motto.

    I've been told that if I applied for this 2IC position it would be mine.

    I've been told this by a few people.

    Sucks for them that I don't want the job, the responsibility, or the loss of my part time hours.

    But it feels nice to have people beg you to try and climb the ladder.

    This coughing is affecting my sleeping now. Woke up at 6am and I can't get back to sleep. Everytime I breath in deep I have a coughing fit. I might have to go to urgent care and drop $120 to get this checked out.

    I hate my insurance.

    At least once a year I spend a little bit of time educating students on the barons of the 20th century.

    And almost every year they are taken back by how much money Rockefeller accumulated in his life.

    If you're ever in the New York area, take the tour of the Rockefeller estate. It's mind-blowing how insanely rich they were. Like, obviously I know, but seeing it in person is wild.

    It's probably that first one. Which kinda sucks actually. My friends can hit like 10mg edibles and feel it all day. I hit 50 and I'm like baseline can kinda feel it high for about 4 hours.
