I've given up on Dance now as well :) It's wonderful as a hobby, but as a career it makes me feel worthless. And so I'm finishing my studies here at the dance academy, and going on to putting my head down and becoming a Nurse ^_^ I love helping people, and I'm not squeamish so I thought why not haha :') Plus my friend is studying to become a Nurse now and I'm so interested in everything she talks about...I even read the student nurse handbook and am well and truly interested to the point of trying it.Quote:

So check this, I travel for work (almost a weekly basis) and now my co wants me to travel 2 1/2 hrs (round trip) to a site EVERY DAY and the site want's me there by 6 am. This means that I have to be awake by at least 4 am!!!!! They will also probably want me to stay until at least 5 pm everyday. This means not getting home until 7-730 pm. They are only paying me for my Breakfast and lunch so if I get dinner it's out of my own money until I turn in my expense report and won't get that money until a week later.
No sleep + no food = one pissed off mermaid!
So it's been a few days since I contacted the seller again, and still no word back from them at all. They did add new items to the store, so hopefully they already sent it off and it should be here soon. Either way, it's making me nervous because I need the top for a pirate festival. I'm also nervous about the festival, because my tail is kind of wrinkly at the fluke and my stressed brain makes it seem like it's this huge problem when it's just fine. If anyone asks about the wrinkles I can say that some humans have wrinkles and so do some mermaids, but I still can't shake the feeling that it's a big deal. Arg! I just wish my brain would stop over thinking everything and let me enjoy a lovely weekend at the festival with my fellow mermaids! Rarg!
Are you speaking about the Pirate Festival in Oregon? My step mother told me about that. How awesome you get to go!! Also, fish have wrinkles in their caudal fins and occasionally cetaceans get wrinkling too :) Just makes you authentic
It's the Rusty Scupper Pirate Daze in Washington, actually! They sadly cancled this year
technically cops aren't supposed to as for your ID unless THEY have a license to check you. my teacher got into that rut and when asked for her ID she threw it back at them and he backed off.
They absolutely have the right to ask to see your license. You have the right to refuse as well but why do that and make everything harder for everyone involved?

And the fact that he didn't give you a ticket suggests that he's been asked to hang out there because people are speeding by the school and he's been tasked with discouraging any kind of speeding in the area. If residents of an area call the police station they'll do that.

different rules in canada i suppose. over here they can still ask for your license, but not a lot of drivers know they can refuse to show it unless the cop shows you his license to check you.
Had to delete it cause I'm gonna take it up with city council.
But overall, he was profiling and targeting me because he thought I was under aged/teen going for a joyride in what looks to be an "adults" car and without make up, I guess I look barely legal on the good days :/
Plus he threatened me when he said that he'll be watching out for me from now on even though I didn't do anything wrong in the first place.
No way a non-sports car can go from 0-47 in 20ft (we were at a red light before I turned, got into the other lane, and he turned his lights on). If I would have gotten ticketed and I fought it, which such circumstances he made up upon, he wouldn't have been able to win with his dash can recording and technical evidence.
I may be small but my actions aren't. The smallest fish give the biggest fights :p
I hate people who abuse their power on others just because they can.
You just don't pull someone over and ask things like what he asked me. It was rude, condescending, uncomfortable, and he had gotten to the line of prying into my personal life to make me justify a cause that he thought was a fake I.d. just because of the way I look
^ don't mess with This mermaid, she's vicious. Good luck with the city council thing!
I'm tired of being too nervous to speak up and to show the real me.
Good for you! :mermaid kiss:
So guess who got terminated from her job the other day? :D
I work at a call center, and to clock in for work you open a program on the computer and once you sign in to the program, the computer shows you're clocked in and you can start making calls to customers. Well the program was broken the day I came in to work, so when I logged in I didn't get the 3 startup tones that show my program was working. Found out the program is down all across the board and 300 agents are all just sitting around waiting to see what happens next. Turns out the problem wasn't on our end of the program, it was with the server itself so there was nothing our IT guys could do. 4 hours later they start sending agents home, including me.
Next day I try to come into work, but my badge won't unlock the door. I ask the front desk and they call my supervisor who comes out and tells me that they have me as a no call no show, the computer said I hadn't clocked in at all the other day so she terminated me. She wouldn't even let me get in to get my stuff from my desk, I had to wait in the lobby for her to bring all my stuff out to me. I told her she saw me there, she was the one who sent me home. She said it didn't matter, I could have been just sitting at my desk not logged into the program. I didn't want to burn bridges or argue with her, I wanted the termination to be clean and friendly, so I apologized for any errors on my part, said I understand that a no call no show is indeed grounds for termination, and then I took my stuff and left.
Yesterday someone from the company who I've never met called back to say the person at the top of the chain, the big boss demanded that someone call me back and apologize for wrongly terminating me, so she was calling to say sorry and that they would like to have me back. I told her I'd think about it and then give her a call back. They won't be hearing from me again. I would have probably gone back if the supervisor who terminated me called back to apologize, but someone I've never met called me to say sorry. It was the most half assed thing ever. I don't want to work for a company that fires agents, asks questions later.
Amen sister! Go get a job where they appreciate you! I believe in you!
That is one of the oddest way I've heard how they handle an IT problem by firing people who couldn't help it...
Vacation season is arriving soon, so everybody has planned their vacations and stuff without any problems, cause they are people who draw things in the programs and there are always enough around to switch work to another if he or she isn't around. But for me it's a different thing... I'm the only one, atm, who keeps their drawing program running and make sure people can work were they need. So naturally I asked for my vacation weeks too, then I get an e-mail back, that if I couldn't find someone who is going to do my jobs I can't take days off... It's now like it's my fault they haven't a second person who can do my work. What if something would happen to me, they would all just stare at their screens and then run around like headless chickens? Lucky for me, I found 2 people who are willing to do the basic of basic things I do so that work can continue.
Okay so I kinda need the support of my fellow mers right now *sigh* I know previously I've posted about the drama with paul my mum's ex (he's finally collecting the rest of his crap and we're moving house in a few weeks [the week of my degree graduation X_x] into rental accom temporarily for a few months while mum pays off some of her debts to fix her credit rating)
well there's been other bullshit amping up since around the time paul left at xmas, that took its place. My husband doug is suffering from severe depression and has been since early/mid december. He tends to take it out on me. And his depression has only been getting worse. He's been waiting 6 months to get some kinda therapy and though he finally started on the 16th it's fairly useless as it's CBT training he's had before in the past.
About a month ago he walked out the house (luckily mum saw him putting his coat and shoes on so we knew he had actually left) and lied to me telling me he was just on a long walk... at 10pm. Fastforward to 3am and turns out he'd gotten on a train to the airport. We ended up driving to go get him. Next day I got him to the doctors and they put him on strong meds.
with that kinda incident in mind, and also if I tell you something I've not admitted here before - that Doug cheated on me about 2 years ago, several times - a week and a half ago, the morning before my graduate show he turned around and told me he'd been having an affair. That he'd been in contact with this girl since all the others two years ago and that he'd been sleeping with her for the last few months. I understandably went apeshit and was kicking him out. 10/15mins later he turned around and said 'you know I'm lying right'. That he'd lied to get me to end the relationship. But he still won't let me see his phone so I still have no idea what is true.
Emotional Whiplash is an understatement. I'm STILL trying to process what the fuck happened, what the hell I feel and think and what I want to do. He knew exactly the perfect way to hurt me and went for it full throttle, so I don't know what would be worse, him having cheated or him purposefully hurting me this deeply.
I know i should just walk away, and that I should have done a long time ago. But I know he's extremely unwell right now and as his wife I feel a certain responsibility to make sure he's going to be okay, I mean no matter what happens I want him to be well because I will always care. You can't be with someone for 8 years and not care. But I also know that plenty of people are this unwell and don't hurt others the way he hurt me, that being mentally ill is not an excuse for his behaviour.
I just... I don't know what to do *curls up into a ball* I just spent this last week in London on my own, helping set up our london graduate show (we had one up north in manchester as a more local one the week before) and was supposed to be using the time to figure out what I want to do, but I still have no idea.
I don't even know if any of this will make any sense but I just finally had to tell you guys what was happening. Mermaiding and MN was what helped me through the horrible depression I sank into after the last time I discovered doug had cheated on me (my birthday weekend actually, feb 2013). MN has been my escape and the dream that kept me sane through a hellish period in my life.
My life has just been one thing after another for the last 2+ years -_- :'(
The fact I have actually managed to make it to graduation is a fucking miracle.
Lilium, I totally get the "for better or for worse" you'll be there as his wife. But tbh if it's not reciprocated thn you should just leave him.
