Hey, I'm still here.
Work has been super crazy,and I'm seriously about ready to just quit. Long story short, my new boss is treating me like her personal supervisor, only I'm not getting paid to do any of it. She expects me to do the schedule, have all the shifts covered, and to find subs for people that can't make it in.
Um, no.
If people can't make it in, it's their job to find their own sub, and then get back to her when they can't.
I only agreed to do the schedule until she got a feel for it. It's been over a month now, and we're still short staffed. All the new people she hired were for a different department, and only a few of them can work with us when it's convenient for them. Again, it's not my job to do any of that. On top of that, she doesn't even communicate with me when I ask her for people to work with us on the days we literally have no one else to work.
I don't get paid for this. It's not my job. I'm an underpaid part-time peon just like the rest of my coworkers. The only difference, is I'm, according to our Executive Director, 'Veteran staff'. Out of all of the staff for my department, my good friend and I have been there the longest.
Pay us like we're 'Veteran Staff', instead of the measly $7.65/hr we already get. Which is BS in itself, we're worth so much more than minimum wage.
Ugh.
Moving on.
Last week my step-dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. He had surgery yesterday, and as far as we know they were able to remove what they saw. However we don't know if it had spread anywhere else, and we won't know until the results get back. Which they said would be soon.....but who knows. On top of that, we're moving on the 17th and our current landlord is being a real dick because she's in a financial pinch, and expects us to get her out of it.
Fun times!
But I have been arting.
It's been slow going, but it's happening. I've been working off and on on lily-girl414 commission, and should have the lineart done for approval in a day or two.
Also, my friend midsummer-aria and I have been working on Collabmission accounts, because we're both strapped for cash and thought it would be a good idea to do commissions together in addition to the separate ones we both do. So I've been switching between examples for that, and working on my own commission lol
I'm still open for them btw!
And if you're interested in checking out our collabmissions, all of the information about it can be found here. We're still working on our dA account XD
This update journal turned into more of a rant than anything, and I apologize for that. I guess I needed to vent about things more than I thought x-x
Anyway, that's all!

Gallery Wipeout
Yep so I have gone through and deleted everything I've ever submitted because f this Ai nonsense. Not that I have anything worth copying, but still. Gotta try to preserve the dignity I don't have, yo Anywhoodles if I've ever made anything for you and you just plum forgot to save it somewhere, shoot me an email or DM on Discord and I'll get whatever sent to you no problem! π I save everything so chances are I'll have it stored somewhere (: Β» miranthia[at]gmail.com Β» Miranthia#3844 As it stands I'm not gonna delete my account entirely, I just won't be posting anything new unless all this malarkey stops π€·πΌββοΈ Not that I had been posting much anyway π
What Up
Hey hi hey howdy all! Uuuuuh how's it going? Good times? Bad times? Bloop? Bloorp? Yeah me too. So I know it's been a hot minute since I've been even remotely active on here, but I do kinda hope that I can change that soon! Ish. Maybe. It's a goal at least, ok? XD I have a bunch of shit I need to upload from last year lol Be prepared! Or not. I don't even know who all is active here any more, I could just be talking to myself π Alrighty, give me a holler to let me know if you're still alive, if you want ! Bye for now :D
Commissions Open
Hey all, I know I've been pretty MIA for a long time now but I'm still here! I've been drawing like crazy the past few months, I've just been lazy about uploading stuff anywhere. However I plan to rectify that soon! That being said, I'm afraid that I've come to ask for some help; I am a little bit short, mom's out of a job until December, and Pop only gets so much a month. So I am opening commissions and they'll be done ASAP while I'm finishing up my existing one. My current price sheet is hella old, but just go poking through my gallery to check out my style & if you have any ideas of what you would like, just shoot me a note and we'll go from there. Anything helps β‘
Time for an Update
Hey all, I know I haven't been on here very much. In a long time. Outside of posting my art that is lol BUT I thought I would just give the whole 5 of you that actually interact with me an update. Long story short, I had a mammogram and ultrasound last month, and with the ultrasound they found a small mass in my right breast. I had it biopsied yesterday, and today they called me with the results. It is not cancer. However, I am at a very high risk for developing cancer in the future. So, I am to have a consultation with a breast surgeon on the 17th, and then we will go from there. On top of that, I have been having fairly consistent menstrual problems and my doctor is referring me to a specialist. So this month is gonna be LOADS of fun π Other than that, I'm alright. We're alright. We survived Covid and moving; we're either broken or just out of commission to do anything overly strenuous, but we're alright. Financially broke as well, but making it. Right now I just really

Do you know who her supervisor is? you may have to go to them if she won't listen to you, but that may just piss her off-which would make your work life suck that much more... uh that just sucks-I was in a similar situation when I worked retail, my boss would follow the district manager around "lurking" when he was in town so none of the workers could honestly talk to him about the problems we had with the store manager. I hope it gets better for you!
I hope you're step-dad is ok and everything comes back with good news! I now moving is a pain in the butt-even when you have the time to do it-to have to do it quickly is nothing but stress-so don't feel rushed on anything for me! if you need to take a breather go ahead! I can wait
the Collabmission thing sounds interesting-I'e never heard of a joint one before. Let me know when your DA site is up.
