    I'm ok with it though because they are going to start the school year later. We started August 16th this year and that was way too early.
    So you only get 12 weeks in the summer now or what?

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Nah, around June 9th-12th.

    LA does something different than most schools where we get a full week off for Thanksgiving and three weeks off for Christmas.

    But that means summers were short, and that sucks for kids/staff wanting summer jobs.

    So LA just passed they are going to become like most places within two years where we only get Thursday + Friday for Thanksgiving and two weeks off for Christmas, so we can start the year around Labor Day. Keep in mind, though teachers start about two weeks before students.

    As much as I will enjoy these three weeks (and not just for vacation, but for planning the spring semester), I like that we are changing. We had to go camping early last summer and it was super cold at night. I'd rather go in August and maybe stay at a beach site or something.

    Sorry, about 6 weeks.


    June 10th-Agust 20th was the weeks students got off, not teachers. Mine was June 15th-August 8th. And those are PD days not including us going in to set up rooms.

    I'm always happy for my former HS lady friends that I find on FB and I see in the years since that they have learned how to properly apply make up. Good for them.

    This week featured graduation, grad school acceptance, great job offer, and getting laid. Won't be topping this one for a while.

    To be fair I never wore much makeup outside work until my late 20's and YouTube has been my best friend lol. Wearing glasses and being blind further complicates shit but I found a great facebook group to get inspiration from. Now if the shit that actually works for my skin wasn't so expensive that would be great. Every time I leave Sephora and my husband sees the small bad that comes out to about $200 he just shakes his head lol.

    I really hope I can do this next year. Fuck having to burn all my vacation/sick time in less than 6 months. I still haven't fully watched season 1 of GoT..

    Got my Christmas shopping done in under an hour and spent less than $100.

    Got my mom a slow cooker she asked for (woo hoo Macy's one day sale, got it for $25 instead of $60)
    Got my dad a bucket hat (I know it sounds dumb but I got him one probably 15 years ago or more and he LOVED it, but it needs replacement)
    Got my brother a K-2SO Funko Pop figure
    Got my dog two tennis balls and a bag of treats

    I love that I spent more for my dog than for my brother.

    I've gotten super addicted to tracking the buy/sell group for my town. Other day someone posted a train table with tracks for $60, didn't get it as so many wanted. I guess that inspired another family to sell theirs and I got it.

    That shit is like $200 new. And the stuff has very very minor scratches. Worth it.


    Now I want this mickey waffle iron.


    I need help.

    we have 7 paid holidays. two of them fall during our training, and since we're new hires, we can't actually bid on them or be drafted to work if no one steps up. they also fall on weekends, and our training schedule is M-F. plus there's a big UFC fight next Friday night, and that Monday we start Nesting (taking live calls with more experienced reps watching over our shoulders)... so they're letting us sign up for a limited-duty over-time where we ONLY take PPV calls, not troubleshooting. most of the class signed up for 3.5 hours of that, so our trainer is gonna have a few reps come in and help us out, plus he'll be there, too.

    all told i'm gonna have 16 hours of holiday pay and 3.5 hours of over-time, all on top of my base pay, before I even start working the call floor.
