I'm so far behind on everything

 That I need 40 hour days to catch up. Not happening.

Work is kicking my butt and for some reason, they expect me to care that I'm on the verge of pointing out. Nope, I don't care. I can find something else pretty quick, honestly. There's LOADS of small manufactories paying decent closer to home. Not as good as where I'm at, but it would mostly balance out. told a supervisor today that they don't pay me enough to care. I'm paid enough to show up, do whatever stupid thing they come up with for me to do for the day, and go home. Got accused of not being a team player. Yeah, I don't get paid enough for that, either. I'll do my best to keep my job, but I lose it, just a chance to go somewhere I might just be appreciated more.

The zoo crew is loving getting treats and dinner at the same time, instead of breakfast in the morning and treats at night when I get home from work. I started it when the hot weather hit because otherwise, they wouldn't eat all their wet food and it would sour by the time I got home. So, feed in the cool night hours, and it lasts till morning and is gone, and they get free choice kibble and plenty of water all day. I did have to worm them the other day, as Bouncer had roundworms. I'm pretty sure that's what they were, because pinworms, hookworms, and tapeworms are not common around here. No idea how he got them, other than maybe from eating a mouse or something that got in and he caught and ate. Or that frog he caught in the front room a couple weeks ago. But he had a few wigglers in his poop so I went to TSC and got the liquid wormer. 

Would have gotten the apple ivermectin horse wormer, which works better and is a lot cheaper, plus lasts a lot longer, but none of the cats, nor the dog, will touch it. So it's the fishy tasting (to them) liquid wormer that I can mix in their wet food and call it done. I'll do the backup treatment this upcoming weekend to ensure the worms are gone, and keep an eye out for more down the road for a few months, just to make sure they don't come back. If they do, the whole crew will go in to the vet for the stronger wormer. I'd get it and give it myself, but all four of these guys fight being wormed orally, so the vet has to do that - with purritos for the cats as well as the leather gloves, and three people minimum to hold Bandit and worm her. These guys do NOT take meds easily, under any circumstances! If I have to do that, I'll have a late summer/early fall flea/tick treatment done, too, because this crazy weather is enough to set the fleas and ticks to going nuts. Even though the cats don't go out, Bandit does, and she could bring them in, easily.

Work on the shop goes apace. I'm working on adding the cat toys, dog bandanas, and some other people products besides mugs to the shop. It's time-consuming to do everything, but worth it, and after tonight, I really want to make this work better. Hit and miss right now which is fine while building, but I want it built so I can quit that crazy-making place.

Now for pictures for my tax on making you read all the boring stuff above, lol.






This would be my second husband and his behavior...


Yeah, pretty much what it was when I was still interested in dating at all.



Son, you can't. Don't even try.

Just a thought here...

 But work-wise, COVID changed so much for the world as far as how we work. For two years, work was done remotely as much as possible. Now there are several ways to work - full time in office, mixed (part time in the office and part time remote), and fully remote. Employers have learned that remote work still gets done and often much better and faster than in-house. With less distractions, work can be done more easily. Which made me think just now, with so many companies going full remote on everything they can, which saved boatloads of money on expensive leases for office space, a lot of this office space is going to go to waste. What need for skyscrapers and fancy, expensive offices other than to prove that the men in charge of leading these companies have a need to compensate for a lack of something elsewhere? Which also made me think, I've had a few good sites for remote work bookmarked for ages and done nothing with them. As I'm still employed but seriously looking for empl...

Today wasn't really any better

 As I'm no longer a "top dasher," making any money today was almost a bust. $24...woohoo. I need to try up in Green Forest, where the plant is, tomorrow and see how that does me. No midrange restaurants there, just a diner that closes early, a gas station with a bunch of food type things (chicken, tacos, etc.), and a small handful of low-midrange restaurants. I can give it a whirl for a few hours and see what happens. Worst that happens is the nothing I'm doing now and I come back to home base to make SOMETHING. On the other hand, come Saturday,  I start a new 3/4 time job at a local gas station. It's pretty regular and will at least keep the rent paid and the credit cards paid that all the bills are going on right now. Going to be a bit tight for a while till I can get back to top dasher status, which will be hard with only two days a week off anymore, and working till close every night. By the time the gas station closes, all the restaurants are done too, except...

Whoopsie!

 I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd posted. No wonder the pictures have been piling up on my computer. Things have been a bit crazy lately. Work has been insane with breakdowns and people missing or general what have you. I worked a point off end of last week, and then this week, used it on Thursday because my body was screaming bloody murder at me. I woke up and everything was still aching from the night before, from head to toe, quite literally. I could barely walk to get the dog outside for a potty run and get me some breakfast. (The zoo gets dinner right now because of the heat, instead of breakfast, so it doesn't spoil before they get it all eaten.) I've been in a bit of a glum spell lately as well. I'm kind of bummed out by the job, working on the shop and seeing how fast I can grow the product offerings so I can draw more traffic and of course, get more sales. Work's been giving us a lot of hours, to where I've been getting overtime every ...
