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!

Commissions OPENTook me long enough, huzzah!

If you're interested feel free to note me. I don't have a set number of slots open right now, but I'll put 5 here for now.
SLOTS:
1. lily-girl414 - Flat Coloring :star-half: :bulletgreen: Paid
2. puzzlesandpizza  - Sketching :star-empty: :bulletred: Not paid (will pay after first WIP)
3. Open
4. Open
5. Open


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!

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. :P  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. :)
