I'll get with the good first so as not to spoil the mood afterwards.
Icons and pimping icons:
I made a request over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
renji_rukia for an icon out of the pic I posted here and was happy to see the different turn outs. Though anyone on my flist can try their hand at it too if you want for moi *bats lashes prettily* Not that I'm hinting around at it or anything hehehehehehe :p
Some moving icons that were posted of NIN. The key to it is watch the eyes.
(clip is from the Closer vid)
(clip from Perfect Drug) Though I think with this one, when he opens his eyes, it looks like he's looking off to the side and then moves to look forward.

X-mas icons:
One Piece set, gah, dying from the cuteness of the holiday ones.
Bleach set. Got a giggle at some of them, though I think my fav goofy one is Santa Kon.

Seasonal ranty time and tons of swearing in the process.
Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have complained so soon about the seasonal job. I want the holidays to be over with and want the beginning of Jan to get here so I can quit a month early. I guess with the holiday getting near, they are allowed to extend how many hrs the employees can work cause I've been working an hr later then what my time off should be. I've been putting in 5hrs during the days I'm scheduled instead of the 4 I was given on the time sheet. And while I think of it, unless I'm in dirediredire need of a job to where I'm piss poor broke, I will NEVER do retail (or fast food though I never worked that) again and I didn't even have to deal with customers. Shipments can cause just as much stress as dealing with *shudders* people *shudders*.
The thing that annoys the HELL out of me with some jobs is that if you have ppl scheduled to work in a certain area, LET THEM WORK THEIR ASSIGNED AREAS!!!!!!!! If you need ppl that bad, start putting more ppl on shift!! My whole gripe came about this past weekend when I had to work both Sat and Sun.
Sat., though I did have an extra person helping out in shipment, we STILL didn't get it done in the time that we should before we leave. One of the reasons was that they kept having the other lady running things out to the front or they end up having her doing something else that took up her time in the front. We had so many boxes to unpack that we had a shitload of trash to take out before we left. We got a good bit unpacked before the lady left at the time she was supposed to, which was also the time I was scheduled to leave as well. K (the main manager) asked me if I could stay an extra hr to finish up everything. So I said to the lady leaving that if she could, take half of the trash out before she left so it'd be less of a hassle for me when I left. Of course I knew that wasn't going to happen cause I know damn well she didn't. So I was busting my ass on getting everything put away and right when it was time to leave, I said something to K about the trash. She's like "just go, don't worry about the trash."
Come Sunday, the other manager chick F (though I think she's under K) got on my case (though nicely) about why the trash wasn't taken out. I told her K said to leave it and that she'd get someone to get it later. *shrugs* Oh well, take it to K, not me. I'm only following orders. But here's the fucked up part. The evening shift, whatever trash they have, they let it pile up at the back door instead of taking it out LIKE THEY SHOULD (and it wasn't cause of the left over trash either, it happens all the fucking time).
Apparently half the girls that were in Sun morning when I got there, didn't know they were opening at 11 (they normally open at 12 on Sun). Reason why the shock was they were Almanacing when I showed up (meaning moving shit around on the shelves), one girl told me she was there since 8. And yet they were still struggling on getting stuff done before they opened??!! WTF were you doing all that time??!! I thought that if I got there a bit earlier than normal, I could start on shipment but since I didn't get there till normal time, I couldn't. And not just that, F had me helping them on the shelves. I didn't keep track of time of how long I was doing that, I know we were still working on it when they opened the doors. They had a HUGE shipment come in and I knew, just FUCKING KNEW that I/we'd never get done on time. So like an hr and half before I was scheduled to leave, they THEN told the girl who was SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME OUT FROM THE GET GO, to help me out. I'm so fucking furious STILL about it!!!!!! All this fucking time, we could've had the shipment DONE and off the floor. We did what we could and even with me staying an extra hr later, still didn't make a dent in what we had. What slowed it down earlier was we only have 2 carts to put stuff on. Both had shit from the stuff they were doing earlier that morning and the lazy asses can't put it away. I'll be damned if I was clearing it off. Later the lady who was the runner was nice enough on emptying a cart for me.
When it was time to leave, thank god the girl had a SUV that we could put the majority of the boxes in and drive to the dumpster.
If I get approached this morning about the left over shipment on Sunday, I'll tell it like it is. I'm tired of the bullshit and asshattery on their end when it comes to how things should be handled. I'm glad that I never got the job at UPS, especially during the holiday, I'd be quitting within a weeks time for sure.
I'm to the point of why do I bother working so hard when they only see that as an excuse of "since she works so hard, we'll just let her handle it all by herself." Last time I checked, I ain't no fucking super woman. I'm tired of being used like that. And its so hard NOT to show how hard you can work from the get go cause its like embedded into my genes. We were born and raised in it (with the exception of my lazy middle sis). The only time I feel like I can be lazy is at home, sometimes, that is.
The right side of my neck is tight, not sure if I pulled something last week while shuffling boxes or if its stress.
Then my stupidity of cutting myself when messing with the boxes. Last week I had a small cut w/ my exacto knife in the flatter surface between the index finger and thumb (not the crease). So while that was healing and scabbing up, I then cut myself AGAIN on Sun. ABOVE the other cut. It slightly cut into the other but not deep to where it opened it up again. This cut hurt alot more. Bubba said I should wear gloves if that keeps up (I wish). And between the weather and working with boxes at both jobs, my hands are so fucking dry that I'm vulnerable to paper cuts and cardboard cuts (which hurt like a SUM BITCH worse than a paper cut). And its hard to find a decent lotion that isn't so damn greasy and does its job.
I'm beginning to feel so drained out by this job, that I dread having to look for a part time job next month. And the part time situation can't be avoided, its to the point where even bubba is going to have to find one too. Gotta make ends meet somehow, plus if I want to go to CA in July for AX, I need to earn the money for the trip.
Now that I got that off my chest, if you made it this far, I congratulate you!
