I've been slacking

 There's been not a lot going on, other than trying to decide if I should switch to a less expensive print partner for my shop. I've decided against it, after trying several other print on demand companies over the last couple of weeks, for designing and such, and they just don't do the job as well in certain aspects. So that ain't happening.

The Just Over Broke has been insane and I'm about to go to the assistant plant manager and have a discussion over things, instead of taking it all to HR, because I really don't want to involve all the paperwork and headache that would be created from dragging HR in over the department head and a supervisor basically being ignorant putzes and trying to screw me over...better to have the APM, my former department head, get involved as he is a lot less likely to try to shove it under a rug.

The poochie is in deep doodoo forever now. She darn near killed one of my cats about two weeks ago, for no reason at all. He's never done a thing to her, and she tried to kill him. A couple of hours and $500 later at the vet's (because of COURSE it has to happen in the middle of the night so there went $150 just for the emergency vet visit), he's fine but now the second bedroom is an infirmary, and his sister (literally - full littermate sibling) has taken up residence in there with him. Pumpkin just ignores the dog. Turns out, Bouncer only weighs 4.52 pounds! He is full-grown but very flyweight for a 7yo neuter. He should be double that weight but he's just a thin guy. He's full-size, just naturally thin and lightweight. Healthy overall other than worms I couldn't seem to get rid of, so the vet gave him Strongid to help. Vet strength, so maybe now the worms are going to be gone, maybe he'll gain a bit of weight. He's doing well and has re-grown his fur where it had to be shaved for a sub-q fluid overnight and to clean up and surgically glue shut the couple of places Bandit's teeth broke skin. She didn't get any good hold on him, so that's good. 

Though if she ever goes after one of the cats again, she's dead. I won't have a killer dog in the house, and I don't dare rehome her. Being a breed that's looked on as a pit bull/pit type (AmStaff), she'd end up being used as a fight or bait dog, or if she ended up in a home with kids or other small animals, I'd worry that she'd go after and kill them. So she's mine forever, and while I love this darn dog to death, she hurts or kills one of the cats, she's dead. Period. I'd miss her terribly, but a killer is not going to live in my house.

Other than that, life goes on. I'm busy, and of course, there's the Just Over Broke as usual today, so I need a bit of a napcation after breakfast that I've finished so I can get a tad more rest. Til later, all - I'll try to post some more saved pictures tonight, not that I've been saving any for a few weeks, because of work and all the stuff with Bouncer. It's gonna take me at least 2 years to be able to quit Fakebook...ugh.

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 ...
