I have found I adore the Curlies too. There’s just something so charming about that wink and the snout under the wing. I gotta find those Autumn Leaves……Oooooh Miss Melody ma’am? XD
HaaHaa! I always thought that the ‘wink’ was actually a sleepy little dragon’s way of peaking at you with the expression like… “Now WHY would you wake me up from such a NICE Dream of Hoarding?” :love:
They have such personality. XD

So my manager calls me in and tells me I’m fired – four days before I put in my two weeks. They didn’t want to pay me unemployment for when the store closed. It was really unfair and I’m still unhappy.
Sorry to hear that too Celestial Rainstorm. Employers just suck sometimes! I can’t believe they would just fire people like that to avoid paying unemployment. That is so unfair. Were you on any kind of probation period? Because as far as I know I don’t think they can fire you with no notice unless it’s in like the first 3 months you have been there. If they had no reason to let you go, you could probably go back on them and claim unemployment.
Nope, no probation period. I had 2 write-ups for missing work due to mother’s chemotherapy, but that was it. Since the store is closing, I don’t think they’ll do anything about it. I’m too tired to pursue it, I just hope I find another job soon.

I need a glass of whine today too. 🙁 So I went to school in 2013-2015 to join the medical field (imaging) and finished in February. I thought I would be good at it because I think about things differently than most people, so I saw this as a good problem solving trait. I like chatting with strangers and hearing their story, and people have always told me I’m “sweet” and kind. Days like today make me question everything. So I get my current job in April 2015. I was hired to do what I went to school for but ultimately was sent to a location where they didn’t have imaging so I helped out. I learned a lot actually. The other girl who was hired as the same title as me went to a location where she could actually practice her skills, even though they weren’t busy. The other girl takes her state test and doesn’t pass. I take it and pass. So I get a raise. By the time we figure out she didn’t pass (it took months because it was a state test) my boss switches us. That meant me driving 30 miles one way into town, waking up at 3:30AM to carpool with my boyfriend, and later at 5:00AM just to miss some traffic to appear for my 8AM shift.
This past Friday we all get an email from the boss who says she’s switching us back, even though the other girl hasn’t passed or taken her test again. I texted my boss to ask why and she said it’s because “[the big head doctor] requested it”. I woke up to that text Sunday morning. I was crushed.
Monday I come into my old job, which is only 20% as busy as the down town location, and my “friend” my co-worker “R” is treating me like I’m a foolish, incompetent, child she just met. I finally confronted her and asked why she’s treating me differently (oh I should add that things have been awkward between us since she texted me, un-inviting me to her wedding) and she says “Do you know why you’re here?!” she then went on to accuse me of being a screw up from the beginning, saying how she was nice to me even though she didn’t have to go out of her way for me, and how she got blamed because I “wasn’t trained”. I spent just as long down town as I did at my “home” location. The job down town is MUCH more complex and I tried my darndest but somehow things I’d checked off on were turning up un-done, over and over and over again. I got blamed for everything and honestly I feel like this is Mexico: you’re guilty until proven innocent. I’ve put my heart, my life and everything into going to school, WHILE working 45 hours a week during the day and Saturday sometimes WHILE maintaining a relationship, WHILE cooking and cleaning at 10:30PM when I finally get home. I sacrificed to get here and now I’m ‘not good enough’. “R” and I used to chat about life, talk about personal issues, talk about our childhood, I felt like we were connecting on a human level, but as I told her today, “now I see how you feel”. Today has sucked and I can’t forsee it getting any better this week. I almost want to wait until April to make my year and find a job where I can use what I went to school for. It’s a shame because there was another co-worker in my department who I feel connected to, and lots of cool people at the company. On top of that, “R” called me from the other room to tell me I’d made mistakes on the two things I’d done today and the girl who failed her test texted me to tell me she’d fixed an issue I didn’t even know about that I’d messed up. Kick me while I’m down!
I’m so, so sorry WolfenMachine. I went through something similar recently, though nowhere near as grueling as your experience. Chin high! You’re a wonderful person, and I’m sure you’ll make it through.

*Sigh* I wish I knew more about computers. And jobs.
So, Monday, I come in for work. I work at Office Depot. I’m the employee that had been there the longest (an amazing year and five months). I did have a little trouble with management during my mother’s cancer treatment, but I’d redeemed myself thrice over. We were informed our particular location was closing down, so I started planning to look for another job. So my manager calls me in and tells me I’m fired – four days before I put in my two weeks. They didn’t want to pay me unemployment for when the store closed. It was really unfair and I’m still unhappy.
And I had to put in my computer for repairs when the charger jack snapped. Turns out my hard drive needed to be replaced also. I’m glad I backed up everything, so I didn’t mind. What I DIDN’T know is they also wiped my version of Microsoft Office. Word, Picture Manager, everything I used is now gone. I’m really upset because I write a lot, and was really looking forward to getting back to it. Now I have to go on a long search for the version of Office I need at a price that won’t break me. I think I shelled out WAY too much money for this thing. But oh well. That’s my whine. Its been a rough couple of days.

See in the Bug Reporting thread – we are trying to fix this! so Sorry!
My bad! I was just making sure my computer wasn’t going wonky. I just got it back from being fixed and they kind of gave it back to me all screwy.

Thanks for all the nice comments on my Curlies everyone! :love:
They ARE like potato chips or popcorn – you can’t Just have one, or even a few! And unlike Bullsquid’s love for Emps, Curlies won’t break the bank LOL! 😉 Although I Would Love some of the Emps and other big pieces I’ve seen lately, soooo Purty! I don’t have the room. But I can always seem to find room for a new Curlie… So yes Celestial, I have a few more I would like to get to add to my ‘family’ sometime. 😀I have found I adore the Curlies too. There’s just something so charming about that wink and the snout under the wing. I gotta find those Autumn Leaves……Oooooh Miss Melody ma’am? XD

It’s not just you. I’m getting it too. For the past few hours. 🙁
Okay, I’m just glad to know its not my computer.

Here’s the little tadpoad that hopped along for the ride with my kirin. She completely matches the valentine fuzzy I got.
I’m not usually a fan of pink, so I am one the fence about keeping her, but she is so cute with that little heart on her tummy. However, if anyone loves her and wants to trade I would be willing to take a look at what you have. 🙂
Oooh, what a lovely little gal! She is perfect for Valentine’s Day!

What a lovely fellow! He looks very low-maintenance, I might have to adopt one myself! Does he have a name?

kstewhu, yours is just stunning! All these little babies are far too beautiful, and I would have grabbed one if I wasn’t saving for special pieces! (And paying off ones haha)
