B!TC# IT OUT!

Bans are bad here too I don't have anywhere to swim which made me feel like finishing my tail would be a bit pointless. So far the only place I have are natural springs and rivers which I'm very nervous about swimming in my first silicone tail in because of the weight difference between it and my last neoprene and fabric tails I've had.

Sherielle, I feel your pain. I feel like I get glossed over here a lot, kinda overshadowed by the "bigger fish", so to speak.

Don't worry though, people come around. and if the don't, fuck em. Lol.

Thanks. It's not so much here as it is with a group of my friends. But getting glossed over sucks too.

Just spent over an hour writing a Fin Fun Tail review for the forums... and I hit "Post Review" (and on top of that, thought it was "Review Post...")... and my computer logged me out of the web-page and I lost the data... Waaaaah! Ugh. Guess that'll be a project for another day!

Always save it with copy!
Many sites tend to log you out after a few minutes typing.

I normally always save, but once or twice, I lost a longer mail that took me ages to compose.
Usually, the re-typed version is then muuuch shorter

I'm being forced by my job to take additional training courses for my job... the job I am going to quit as soon as I am done with school and as soon as I find a design job... The worst part, is I will have to miss a week of school for this crap and I wont be able to do an internship as well as a result. My degree trumps the need for the training, as my whole fucking experience in grad school was in relation to this! But since I took a "lower position" (because full time and benefits... even if it is at slave wages for my degree status) I have to do this. I'm cheesed off.

A former resident of mine was reported missing today. They have a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and thus cannot problem solve as easily as someone else their same age and are easily taken advantage of. This hurts my heart.

So, I was just made the equivalent of a manager at my new Job after being there only 6 months. I have had a ton of sucess in those months and basically shown that I am passionate, dedicated and good at what I do, proven by my clients reviews, requests, and comments. I also work over 40 hours a week, have stayed late, worked through breaks, gone in on my days off when they needed me and basically shown that I love my place of employment and will do anything for my boss and owner without complaint. Some of the other workers (who wouldn't lift a finger to help the place more then their allotted time) are less then thrilled with my new position and people who I considered friends or acquaintances have suddenly begun to twist my words and go above my bosses head to other higher up managers to get me in trouble/fired. I am a teacher at heart, and a pacifist. I don't condescend or reprimand. I try to encourage every chance I get and address problems in a neutral understanding way. It kills me that people can be so mean spirited. My manager who promoted me thankfully has stood by my side through all of this and doesn't cave to the bitching.

When I first got the position a sign written by the owner of the establishment was posted in the break room announcing it. One of the other managers came in while I was at the table with a friend and said sarcastically, "someone got promoted" I could feel her eye roll and the way she said it made me actually feel ashamed and embarrassed. What was worse was my friend at the table said just as sarcastically, "yeah, "someone", and gave me the stink eye. I saved her butt a week or so later when her mom had an emergency so I took over the rest of her duties so she could leave early. Now she calls me the best manager ever.

Now I have to train with the "eye rolling" manager, who I feel, doesn't like me at all, and who believed the girl who twisted my words to get me in trouble. I reeaalllyyy don't want her to train me. Ugh.

That is PAINFUL, Lily_Pad. I send you many hugs.

[Mermaid Alea]

x2 Lots of hugs! I am so sorry that your co-workers are being so mean but I am so proud of you for passionately doing your job! Instead of dissing you, they should feel more inspired to be more dedicated like you. Then maybe they too would get promoted. They certainly won't get promoted with the attitude they are having and having an attitude certainly won't make work better.

I have no money right now but I want to do some redecorating and research for my lizard. Ughhhhh I hate that we don't have pet insurance. Bub's treatment is costing us so much. She's sleeping on my bed right now. I love her so much

[Sabrina the Selkie]

She is such a cute cat.

[Mermaid Mystery]

I know, it's gonna kill me when she's gone. Thankfully we have her now and she's not reacting negatively to chemo so far. she's just a bit cold as you can see haha.

[Mermaid Mystery]

just got an email that says I'm taking the SAT with the essay when I specifically waited for the new test to be out so I could have the essay as an option. cool now I'm going to stress myself out even more. just what I needed.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

See, the essay is one of the things that saved my grade on the ACT.

I got a full 36 (the highest score) on both reading and writing. So I got a thirty. Because I got like a 24 in math and a 26 in science. And I LIKE science. (I'm literally graduating high school with six years worth of it)

My cat ran over my face last night at 3AM.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Ouch.

I'm a bit lost and upset right now.
A photo taken of me years ago in my tail being wheeled in a wheelchair between gigs has surfaced again online. I was unaware the photo was being taken, so I have no idea who did it. But it was posted on Tumblr and someone tagged it as 'disabled princess'. A popular page found it last night and has shared it (Alternative Disney) and tagged my page.
I have gotten SO much hate mail from people saying I'm claiming to be disabled.
I never posted the picture in the first place, nor tagged it 'disabled princess'. That tag should belong to someone who is actually disabled, and even though I've tried contacting the page, reporting the photo, etc, they wont take it down or change it. I'm feeling rather helpless and seeing the darkest side of the internet. I've even made a post on my mermaid page urging people not to get mad, but people still are.
What can I do? My anxiety is through the roof regarding it.
