B!TC# IT OUT!

[Mermaid Whisper]

Ah, I worked at JCP on the support team before I started at Ross.

I had a lady ask me where our wedding dresses were. I told her that, as we were a single-floor, mall-sized store, we didn't have any.

"But I saw them online!"

Not every store stocks the same things. Stock is largely based on popularity and open space at Ross, and at JCP, we had an entire room just for backstock. It's not our fault we don't have something!

I must say, though Ross is smaller, they pay better, the people are amazing, and the customers are fascinating and horrifying all at once. /casual advertising

Im so sorry momo! The only times i have significantly had to cut my hair were after a gum incident in the 7th grade and straitening damage in highschool. I empathize.
On the up side, you really rock the piggy tails

When your younger sister's friends talk to you more than she does. She still won't reply, call, or come visit any of us. And still has yet to even check on her horses-or ask anyone if they are okay.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

Any luck with Animal Welfare in regards to what your options are with the horses?

Whisper, don't feel bad for posting all the time. I too have had emotional things going on, I would post a lot on this thread.
As for stress, try meditation or try finding a hobby like sculpting or something you can channel your stress into. Or you can take walks or go running.

My dad is threatening to kill my cat because she peed on the tile floor. He's saying that if she goes outside the litter box one more time he's going to break her neck and kill her himself. He does nothing but work on his computer all day and do the dishes and sometimes will maintain the backyard. I don't see how he can't help out with cleaning the litter box every now and then. All he does to help out with the pets is feed the cat and let the dog outside. He acts like everyone should help out with taking care of the animals and things around the house, but when my cat pukes or this one time when she peed on the floor she suddenly my cat and will be put down or gotten rid of. On top of all this he's calling me lazy when I ask him why he can't sometimes clean the litter box instead of just covering up her poops. He says that retail is not a hard job and that his job, telling people how to trade stocks, is the hardest job there is. He's sitting in a chair all day, everyday and just because I'm not a full time retail employee my job isn't hard. I'm so sick of his bull$h!t

I hope you get the room, Whisper. And knitting is a great stress hobby. I knit and crochet, personally.

Clean up after your pets. I don't see why that's a thing to bitch about. Yeah, your dads are being jerks, but as you said, it's YOUR cat/dog/rodent.

Retail is cake. Stocks and telecom are highly stressful and hard work, even if all you do is sit at a computer.

I really think some perspective is needed.

Imagine this...you have a job where you have to scoop up vomit all day. When you go home, you have to chase down your cat, give it an injection, clean its bowl, feed it, wash its butt because it's lost bladder control and is covered in piss, you have to force it to choke down a pill for its pain because its tumor is growing by the day and there's nothing you can do. You're in debt to the vet for thousands of dollars already and your cat is going to die.

Cleaning up after a healthy animal every day after standing around helping people buy nice things in an air conditioned store is NOT something to bitch about.

Well, yeah. I totally get what you're saying. My dad's job is very taxing on him. He has conferences and business trips and he's on the phone and the computer at the same time all the time. He's a miracle worker at Sprint. I didn't say his job wasn't hard or stressful. It's just a different type of stress between our jobs and theirs, especially since Kelley and I are 19 or so and our dads have so much more experience being their age.

I do clean up after our pets. My point was that the pets belong to the entire family. Everyone can do whatever they want with them without being concerned about caring for the dogs. I love my dogs.

My guinea pigs were solely my responsibility, and I took fantastic care of them. However, the very nature of guinea pigs is to make a mess, and my dad would tell me that he would throw them out the window if they did it again.

Our air conditioner is broken at Ross.

I do still love all my merfriends ❤️

Thank you very much I used to crochet in middle school, but I like knitting a lot better!

I think what they were trying to say is that their dad's make these threats about harming/getting rid of the animals even though they do take care of them. I got a puppy when one summer when I was in college because our other dog had passed away unexpectedly and my family had been going on about they wanted another dog. I took care of him the whole time I was home from college, but he was a puppy so obviously not potty trained. When he would have accidents my dad would swear a lot and say he was gonna take the back to pound, drive him somewhere and leave him, or use him for target practice, even though I always cleaned up after him. He also worked from home and hated it so I think he was taking his anger out on the dog. He would say things like this when he would bark a lot as he got older. On the rare occasions that I wasn't home he wouldn't take the dog out either . I was just like why did you say you wanted another dog if you were going to act like this, since I was leaving for college again he was the family dog. Thankfully my mom and sister and brother took care of him and my dad got a new job and mellowed out.

Sorry for the long rant but I think that's the point that was trying to be conveyed, sometimes you do everything should/can but accidents still happen and they should at least be understanding of that and not make threats.No matter how hard your job is saying you are going to harm/kill is uncalled for.

I'm sorry. I was mad this morning. I was late for my chiropractor appointment, shut the door and locked my keys in the house, had to break in, scraped a big gash in my arm to get in, got to the doc and the place was packed because everyone else was late, too. I left without getting adjusted, some guy walking his dog in the middle of the fucking road tells at ME to slow down and I got into a shouting match with him...two days ago, I picked up a cat that was hit by another car and it died in my arms and have been very upset over that, not to mention my day job stress, tailmaking stress, and I have an interview with a television producer Tuesday that I am not ready for.

I took a break to relax a minute and see what was going on here, and when I read "my dad's being an asshole because I'm the only one who cleans up after my cat", I kinda lost it.

I apologize.

[PearlieMae]

PS: When was the last time your dads ever followed through with a threat like that? Like, EVER? If he HAS killed a pet, or taken it back to the pound, etc., then you are living with a dangerous psychopath and should GTFO ASAP.

He is probably tired of having to make all the money to make everyone else's lifestyle possible and is lashing out in frustration.
