I work Second Shift.
I’m…OVERLY sick of overnight saying that second shift isn’t worth shit.
Yeah, I’d like to see these people working our hours just ONCE!

They don’t have people constantly unfolding things and knocking things over just to be mean, they don’t have people always asking where something is, that just happens to be all the way across the store and THEY don’t have to walk them all the way over it!  Just once I’d like to see if even one person from the overnight shift could do my job.  Including the overnight manager.

Ugh.  The overnight manager…the Co-maganger of Wal-Mart where I work, if she could do my job even once, EVEN HALF as well as I can, I’d throw a cow to China.  Honestly.  I don’t think she worked her way up the Wal-mart ladder, I think she worked her way up somewhere else and jumped into Wal-Mart. 

Tonight she started even more drama with a co-worker of mine.  Keep in mind that this “mananger” has been suspended FOUR (4) times, for repremanding an employee in front of customers…4 times.   This evening she was spying/”watching”  Yay-yay* who was helping a customer figure out what top to buy with the pants she got.  While the woman (customer) was trying on the shirts, Yay-yay was waiting in the fitting room, because that’s what we’re SUPPOSED to do. Well said “manager” saw her in the fitting room and decided to “talk” to her.

“Manager” walks to employee, accuses her of not helping customers but of “socializing” with said customer.  Employee, says “manager” should we just take this back to the office?  ”Manager” says ”No. I don’t have the tolorance for your excuses.”  Employee responds, “No. You really don’t have any tolorance.”  ”Manager”  tells Yay-yay to go clock out and go home, to come back tomorrow and talk to Supervisor and Store-Manager tomorrow about her job.  Well she’ll be talking to them, but not about her job, about night managers job.  The thing with it is, I heard the whole thing.  Night manager, had no reason for jumping down employee’s throat, much less in front of me AND said CUSTOMER! 

Aforementioned night manager is the one who got in my face and made me go home crying right after I started working there.  =/  Wench.

 I’ll be there, beside my co-worker and friend, telling the tale of tonight.  It’s not right.  We aren’t dirt.  We work hard for our money. (eh,eh,eh,eh.)  We work very hard.  We are short handed and still expected to make it all perfect for overnight.  Overnight could take twenty minutes and re-zone after we leave.  It’s not hard once we’ve gotten it good.  Just needs a quick touch-up sometimes.       

We really shpould make more money.

I’m off to bed now.  Just wanted to vent about the “bitches” of the day.

Goodnight moon.

Well, here we are in Jasper at Derricks for Christmas.  It’s really kool. Met Dena’s boyfriend and whatnot and Teri and her family are here and it’s tons of fun, but I miss my Mason.  I’m really having a hard time this Christmas without him.  I know he’s having a hard time in Ohio because Jordan his dad are major f*ckheads, and I wish they’re just rot away.  Anyways, I just called him he’s at his skate buddies house eating dinner. =/ I’m happy he has a friend now though.  It’s relief knowing he’s got somewhere to go there.  I hate holiday’s without Mason.  It’s like trying to live lif without a lung, or liver, it’s effing painful.   It’s awful!  I would kill to have him by my side at all times.  LITTERALLY KILL.  I’m reading the Twilight books, I’m almost done with the first one and it’s AMAZING! Got it yesterday and I’m almost done.  =)  I’m so in LOVE with the characters.  It’s impossible not to be!  

I know i’m just ranting but I’m tired of life.  It’s work, fight, eat, sleep, fight, work, fight at work, sleep, eat, work, work, work, work!  I feel as though I’m becoming dull. I’m still wanting to be a kid at the same time as being an adult and it’s very difficult.  I need…life with Mason and a good strong drink.  HA! As if that’s gonna happen anytime soon. =*(  FIX IT! Argh.  Life bites. 

Don’t get me wrong! I’m enjoying Christmas is fine, I just want Mason here too. I’m the only one who is completely alone.  =/  I miss him.  I miss life with him. He needs to come back soon!  ugh.  I’m done.  Goodnight and Happy Christmas WordPress.

I’m officially 18!  My Birthday was last tuesday and Mom and I went and started a bank account with Compass Bank and a savings account.  =)  We went to Olive Garden for lunch and it was devine! We had a crappy waitress at first but Management changed it b/c we said something b/c we sat there for 10 minutes and she didn’t even get our drinks!  And it wasn’t busy at all.  But anyways, my birthday present to myself is MASON’S COMING DOWN TOMORROW!!!!  Yay!  So happy.  =D   My Grandpa gave me money,  my aunt gave us a gift card to Olive Garden and/or Red Lobster, Mom gave me stuff early and all year so I can’t really remember what she got me, and Greg (bio-dad)  is taking me shopping today so maybe I’ll get a new pair of jeans. =) 

Work has been okay,  just work.  Finally got more hours since my b’day, mostly like 2-10 and things like that but still, more hours means MORE MONEY!  so I’m happy.   I’ve prertty much quit talking to anyone at work b/c I don’t want anyone to be able to hold anything against me for any fucked up reason.  The only things we ever talk about are work now b/c my personal stuff isn’t any of their “beezwax” haha.   Wow I feel old.  So much has changed, when I was like 6 Neopets were “the shit” and when I was 10 it was The Backstreet Boys and Arron Carter, lmmfao!  I remember New years eve 1999, we still lived in the first house in El Paso and it was midnight and Mom let me try champane and everyone was panging pots and pans outside and honking horns and screaming and it was just completely out there to me b/c we had never done any of that stuff on new year before…but thinking back I realize why we did, although we never put any stock into the whole “end of the world 2000″ things, it was still a big time. 
I feel no different now then last week, and yet, I feel completely different.  It’s odd.  I’m going to make my first deposit into my account today. =))  I’m also going to clean out the car and go shopping so it’s going to be a good day.

I’m going to end this blog in just a moment, but before I do, there’s a few things I want to say;

Mom, you raised me right, I know not to steal, cheat, or lie.  I have great work ethic and I’m never late or call in.  I know right from wrong, which in something most of the world just doesn’t understand.  I have morals, and I know to stick to them, no matter what it costs me.  You taught me how to be strong, how to see the reality in things that blind other people.  I know how to decipher truth from fiction, and how to grab hold of the world around me.  I know how to escape when things get too rough, but I also know how to face them.  You taught me so much, and are still teaching me so much, about life, about the world, about people…all the things I would eventually figure out on my own, but would cause pain if done so.  I still have a lot to learn, and to teach, and I’m amazingly grateful you gave me that ability.

Daddy, I’ve tried to learn from you, but our personalities just don’t allow it.  You and I are so different, and yet so close.  I’ll never understand you, but not from lack of trying.  You’re just confusing.  You’ve been right there if I’ve needed you, and you’ve been side by side with mom in teaching me right from wrong, and good from bad.  You’ve been the best dad I could ever ask for.  I’m really glad you’ve been with our family almost from the beginning. You’ve helped mold and shape me into who I am now.  You’ve taught me respect, even when I despise the person I have to show respect.  I’m not very good at it yet, but I’m still learning.  =P

Taria, I know we used to fight, and I’ll always remember standing outside your door saying “I’m not in your room!”  in a sing-song voice…which btw I sincerely apologize for now.  I used to stand up for you, I always tried to protect you…I hated seeing you vulnerable, I know now you weren’t so much vulnerable, but biding your time.  I wish I could grasp that concept.  I suck at keeping my mouth shut…which it probably why we get along so well now but still.  I know I’m babbling and I should be talking about what you’ve taught me, but you’ve taught me so much, in little tidbits, and in huge chunks… you’ve been around so long, it’s all melded together into my life.  Ah! I know something you taught me that I still do everytime I have to spell the word together….To-Get-Her.  I’m not sure why that’s always stuck in my head, but it’s still there, 10 years later. =)

I have more people I’d like to write about, so I’ll probably continue this blog at a later date, so keep checking back. =)

So life lately is okay I suppose.  My dad acutally invited me down to their house yesterday, I went and had dinner and hung out with them all for about 3 hours.  I also got the quilt my grandma made me before she died…and an old one that she made a long time ago.  I love old quilts.  Like the ratty kind. 

Work sucks lately.  Big suprise.  Also getting more hours after my birthday! Yay! 

Other then work I’m kinda just waiting until Mason can come back down.  I’m really wanting to work on my GED some more but by the time I get home from work I’m so tired….  I don’t see how some people do college AND work.  =O  Amazing. 

Just updating.  I’ll try to update again soon.  =)

Ok, so I’m working now.   For real.  I’m working at Wal-mart, my name-tag says “Sales Associate”, so that’s what I am.  I haven’t blogged in a a really long time and after today, I’m just in the mood to write. 

“So what’s new” you ask?   I have a job, it’s not the best job in the world, but I work hard and I’m good at it so I’m proud to have it.  Which is more then some people can say.  I “Zone” (fold, straighen, hang, re-hang, pick up, put away) clothes.  I mostly work in Ladies but my favorite is most deff. Infants.  It’s awesome over there.  Ladies is the biggest and hardest department.  For the people who haven’t been paying attention, I’m living in Alabama now, and before anyone wonders how I’m doing, I’m just here.   Although life IS better then it was right after I moved here, and it’s even better then 2 weeks ago, I still think maybe I can do some improving. 

I’m really excited about the upcoming weekend, I’m working Friday and Saturday, but Sunday (the best of all!) I’m…PICKING UP MASON AT THE AIRPORT!  Tada!  I’m exstatic!  I can’t wait!  I can’t believe his parents are letting him come down here but I’m so happy about it!  I used my first good paycheck on it, but it’s worth it!  =) 

I’ve made a friend at work…at least I’m hoping she’s my friend.  She’s pretty kool.  =)

I’m not getting very good hours at work but it’s better than none, I suppose.  I’m really hoping I’ll get back to working days soon, but I doubt it.  Mostly they’ve got me working 5 to 10.  Which sucks.  I’m having some issues with my department manager, even tho I don’t work with her much anymore, I can’t stand the way she has Ladies wear oganized, it’s just illogical.  Cute shirts over Dickies pants, Juniors jackets in the plus sizes, Disney cutesty jackets over shapeless, droopy pants.  =/  Also I think she might be color blind because she tends to put red with pink and green.  (red and pink look like vomit, and red and green look like christmas)

But anyways,  I gave someone from work my blog address and it kind of reminded me I really needed to blog some more. So here it is. =)  Well I’m out for now,  I’m sure this blog is full of typeos but I’m sleepy and it’s midnight so it’s bed time for me lol.  I’m off tomorrow so I’ll be studying as much as I can. =/ So, goodnight blog.

Finally got moved.  Now close to family again.

Can’t get in touch with my dad of course.  Big suprise.

Missing Mason like crazy.  I’m going to hate it here without him.  His dad is finally completly demoted to where he doesn’t even have a rank or anything now. He’s being THROWN out of the Army.  Haha Karma is a bitch.  Ok well I’m out but I’ll post again when we get our internet in the APT set up. =)

I MISS MY HUSBAND!!!

People make me sick!   I currently am “aware” of someone…well multiple people who claim “Christianity” in moral defense.   I despise (and I mean truly despise) people who claim that because they go to church every time there is church and because the are “actively involved” in said church that they are “good Christians”.   To be honest, I find such claims completely … well just completely bogus.  

Moral superiority and Christanity are NOT the same thing.  There are Priest’s, Preacher’s, Deacon’s, whathaveyou, molesting people, or doing very immoral things all over the world.   When you cheat on your wife, you can’t pretend it’s “Okay” because you’re a so called Christian.  Life doesn’t work that way and neither does religion.  Religion is not an escape so to speak, from the problems facing you in life.  It’s SUPPOSED to be to help you work through those problems you’re facing.  

In all honesty the people who are supposed to be morally superior and role models for kids or the spiritually young are usually the ones who are messed up morally, spiritually, etc.

Don’t get me wrong on any counts, I am in no way a “bible thumper” or a hardcore Christian but I am highly ethical.  I have my beliefs and I firmly stick to them.  I learned from a very young age that to have good, strong morals, something you firmly believe in and can hold on to, while you might not make many friends those morals will keep you going in life.  You’re better off in the end.  

It doesn’t matter if you’re the highest head in the Church come sunday, if you’re out womanizing, getting drunk, drugging up, cheating, etc. on saturday, showing up at church the next morning isn’t going to wash that away.  You have no or low morals. 

I am a Christian, however I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the best, nor anywhere close to it. I rarely go to Church anymore so in a lot of people’s eyes, I’m not a Christian.   Ugh.  A CHRISTIAN is someone who believes in God.  NOT someone who shows up at church every sunday. 

I’ll say this again, going to church, DOES NOT make you a good person!  Morals, good values, and a good heart, make you a good person.  You can be a great person and have NO religion whatsoever.  

Now, I have to stop before I get really carried away.  I have no good strong quote to end this with, nor a parting wise word, but I will say this;  If you are in a situation of public persona and you have low or no morals, quietly resign from said situation and carry on your merry immoral way without dragging people down with you.

Latest update!

Went fishing yesterday, I caught 2 big rainbow trout and Mason caught a really big rock bass.  We brought them here and cleaned and cut them and froze the meat b/c I want to learn how to cook fish.  We cleaned out the car also, and I’m talking really really cleaned it out.  Lysol and everything lol. 

Chooi tried to wake me up at 6:30 this morning. I ended up sleeping until 9 =)

Latest I’ve slept all week. 

Mason and I are going to a BBQ this weekend with our friend that’s back in town visiting his girlfriend for a week.  So that’s kool. We have weekend plans! Lol.  

I’m working on making a good friend or two.  I’ve met some cool people and I’m hoping I can actuallly be friends with them. 

Ah! I want to do something fun today!!!  It’s so pretty outside it’s a great day to do something awesome!  =))

I’m out.  Going to go clean so I can leave and whatnot.

~Kat

Puppy woke me up at 8:22 this morning.  Lately it’s been at 9 o’clock.  Every day last week was at 9 and yester he let me sleep late b/c mom was up.  But today 8:22!  >=|  I’m not an early person.  Not one bit. 

=/

Hooked on a game now.  Haha got mom hooked too lol.  It’s called Text Twist. It’s awesome and it really strains your brain. 

Not a long blog b/c I now want to go play that game but just thought I’d give an update =)

Ok, yesterday was so pretty, I even wrote about how pretty lol.  Well when Mason got home from school we went fishing, we went out to our new favorite spot, people were there.  =(  It’s kind of a pain in the ass to get too so we were kinda suprised that people were there.  The we went to our spot we nicknamed “slip-n-slide” b/c if it’s rained it’s really muddy and very slippery, lol.  We caught nothing.  So we go back up to the first place after the people leave,  we fish there for about 2 hours, catch a bit, all too small to keep, Mason got pooped on by a bird (lol).  Then we decide to move under the old bridge, we were climbing over the things that hold the bridge up and we have to climb up on the first one, then down on the other side and walk across this metal thing and find a way to climb up the next one, well we did that 4 times to get all the way to the other side of the bridge.  We had to be really careful b/c in some places the water was really deep and full of logs and whatnot, well we got all the way to other side and on that side it was too shallow to fish!  We started to head back but had no way to get down once we got on the platform, so Mason got this big log and pulled it up there and was helping me up, well my shoes were soaked and I couldn’t get a grip on the concrete with my feet and my hands slipped and I fell back down.  Well when my hands slipped out from Mason’s he lost his balance on this 2ft wide 7ft tall platform, he fell backward, luckly before he hit the water he was able to turn so he didn’t go ass first and hit his head on the giant log on that side.  Me on one side of this thing, and Mason struggling in the water on the other side, I was freaking out.  All I could hear was gurgling and I was thinking, omg he’s going to drown and I can’t get over there fast enough!  I was screaming for him and trying to find a way that didn’t involve deep strong current water and about 30 seconds that felt like a lifetime he came out of the water and answered my screams.  He climbed back up where we were and I got up there and he was fine.  He scraped up his leg and hurt it a little b/c he kicked a log while he was swimming but he was ok.  Well he drops the big log he found in the water so we might have a foot hold to get down, it messes up and lands wrong so we’re trying to find a way to get down and we decide since we’re both kind of already soaked, him from falling the water and me from trying to get around to help him, we’d just go through to water to get back to our old spot.  He was trying to convince me to stay and keep fishing!  Then we went to BK and I took him home. 

I’m so glad he’s ok. =)  It was scary but a fun day.

Probably no fishing today though, it’s raining lol. 

Well I just had to blog about yesterday.  =)
