So, once again, my holiday time at work is screwed over by the fact my grandparents (who also work at the same place I do) want to book their vacation earlier, which meshes with mine. This now means, because I can't poke the hornets nest that is my grandparents, that I have to be all kiss-ass and say yes ma'am to my mother (the manager) when she told me that my holiday is cut short a day (and a weekend).
I do more hours than both of my grandparents, I put in extra, I do a LOT MORE EXTRA, but they still get special snowflake status, because they have department manager and senior sales adviser attached to their names.Well feck your shiny titles
It doesn't help that I tell mum how I feel, because if she says something to them (they really are a hornet's nest), they'll be all GRR WE DO SO MUCH FOR YOU *guilttrip* parent thing parents do, which then backfires back down to me, because mum feels like she's been put in a position. The way with our family is, it's better to keep quiet and say nothing, keep secrets and lie a lot. Which I hate. (IcannotwaitformysupersecretplanstobeputinactionafterSeptemberthisyear)
On the upside, mum has given me extra time off much later, and has also given me the Monday 12th of May off too, so that means I'll be at the UK meet from the 9th to the 12th now ^-^
The pros and cons of being the manager's daughter.
EDIT: IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO WORK WITH FAMILY OR FAMILY OFFER YOU TO WORK WITH THEM, SAY NO. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. (Of course, if you get on really well like I do with my mum, then go ahead)
By the way, I can totally go outside in the summer without melting. I just make sure I always carry, at a minimum, a liter of water on me when I do. XD
As for working with family, you just have to have the right family.
Please note: I deliberately play a very flawed character. Just because he says or does something, does not mean I agree with it. He's a bit of a <censored> really
Friends drifting apart and becoming strangers. Biggest pet peeve ever. Deepdeepdeepsigh.

My policy is to never go anywhere outside that isn't a direct path between an air conditioned building and my air conditioned car.
Been doing some checking and Las Vegas heat isn't much worse than St. George heat in the summer, so I shouldn't need too much adjustment. I'm ready. (also, house i'm living in has a pool).
My dissatisfaction is that some people should simply NOT be allowed to do business. The books I've been getting from my clients are down right awful. It's a good thing I don't ever have to see my clients in person, so I can hate them all I want
Every reference I've seen about the wyrdenwood skill is a bit different from every other, and none of them match the AB files I've unlocked yet. I'm just not gonna know what I'm capable until I trans it myself
That awkward moment when you presume your son is faking being sick to get out of school (again) only to get him from school and have to rush him off to the doctor. Oops.
What a messed up way to start the week. I don't feel like coming to work for the next few days.:(

If anybody is a regular convention goer, (any sort), you'll be familiar with the idea of post-con depression.
I seem to be struggling with that (or a similar sort of thing) after this meetup on Saturday.
I cannot get myself to login and stay connected for longer than an hour. (and only then if I'm RPing.) Can't bring myself to do anything else right now.

A whisper from the trees and a frosty presence tells you, secretly, "But you are strong, little
flower, and wise." The voice shifts and expands, becoming more real. "And everything you just said
in the ritual made me feel safer. You should, too."

Don't worry; I have RP plans for you. (Though I'm at work now, so I won't be able to RP until this evening.)

It's (right now) 4 degrees outside. Over the next week, it'll be between 10 degrees and -3 degrees. Spring sucks
On the upside, it's great to see so many people I recognize doing well.
Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
I intend to remind him of it constantly. We've even discussed that story quite a few times. Seven year old boys, TSK.
WTF was that Scott Gimple? Do the world a favor and quit. The farm season was better than this garbage.
The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
I'm at a loss because our building is occupied entirely by business professionals. This isn't Walmart.
