Well, work still licks ass. The bitch I was complaining about last week pissed me off royally again just a couple days ago and I had to go complain to my boss again about her.
Then, I asked my editor and my supervisor for a raise. Am I getting one? NO. Not now anyhow. Because my company doesn't give raises to people just for being a good employee. You have to actually get a promotion or add some major thing to your job description. And even then, the max is usually 5%. That is such bullshit. Well, the promotion raise can be like 10%. But anyhow what this means is within a couple months I will get my shitty 5% raise for taking on the cover design. And that's not even definite yet. Then my boss told me it's not definitely a position they're going to hire for yet, but they're considering getting a second illustrator, and he had me in mind. Sooo that would be good because I could avoid all the bullshit stuff I am stressing out about right now and just do creative stuff. The position is not going to be available until January, so as pissed off as I am, I may wait around and see. I mean, I probably won't be ready to look for a new job until October or so anyhow....ugh it's all so confusing.
Aside from that, my little sister graduated high school on Saturday, so that was trippy. We hung out all weekend with my family and it was very relaxing. Hung by the pool, ate good food, shopped a bit...ahhhh. And on Sunday night we saw Robert Plant at the Beacon Theater. Best ever. I had such a wonderful time. They played a good amount of Zeppelin songs and I never thought I'd get to hear them live with my own ears. It actually brought me to tears during oneof my favorites, "That's The Way". Hehe I am such a music nerd. But it was just so nice.
Husband-man got us tickets to see The White Stripes in September - awww yeah!!! And then Queensryche is playing the Borgata in AC in October. We love that casino and so it's once again a perfect combination. Tickets aren't on sale yet but soon! And then next month is Ozzfest so that's gonna kick ass.
I think I need to go back on my medication
I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just stressed from work, but lately I feel all the old stuff coming back in slow waves. I;ll wait awhile before I decide if I should go back to the doctor.
At least it's a 3 day weekend coming up!!! And we get out early tomorrow (3pm). At least they do SOME things right.
