What is up with people? Why do we always have to throw someone "under the bus" instead of taking ANY
responsibility ourselves. So a co- worker of mine definitely hops in the damn bus, runs me over, & backs up to do it again! WTF! There was NO reason for that -WTH is wrong with people!?
If I'm stuck doing this vocation for the rest of my life, it's going to be one short life. argh!

So frustrating...
Just because I'm not "chatty kathy" or speaking to every single person that walks by my office (heaven forbid I'm working) doesn't mean I'm not approachable. Also, just because you prefer to chit chat w/ my work neighbor & would rather ask her questions about orders that I have placed, is not my problem - that doesn't mean I'm not doing my job nor does that mean she's any better at her job.
Because I'm very systematic & keep to myself, people feel the need to "complain" because they do not get the same response or whatever as they do whenever they ask my neighbor. First off, my neighbor & I do NOT do the same things as each other everyday! We each have our own little niche & we function as a team. Yes, my neighbor is very personable & will chit chat with you, where as I do not really do that. I'm sorry, but I don't care about what's going on in your personal life (especially if I do not really know you) & when I'm busy at WORK, I don't particularly like to stop & waste time that I do not have. I'm here to work & do a job, not hear the latest gossip going around this sad little town. Second, did it ever occur to these people that my neighbor puts off her work to answer/help them with a question that should be directed to the buyer who actually placed the order (9 times out of 10 that would be me) because EVERYTHING is urgent...um no. My neighbor can't say 'no' & I am like that in a lot of ways too, however, because I'm systematic, requests fall into the queue. Just because you do not get the same attention from me as you do from my neighbor doesn't mean I'm not doing my job. You are disrupting my neighbors' time to begin with & basically going through "the back door" to get what you want. If you're going to be shady like that, don't pass it off that I'm not doing my job. You are not ALWAYS going to be put on the top of my list of things "to-do" just because you feel like you deserve to be. My job & time is just as important as yours...get over it.
Third, just because I do not "speak" to you on the phone doesn't mean that I am ignoring you...especially if you have already received communication from me via email. I've been here over a year - you would think by now, people would have figured out I'm more of an electronic person...but just because that doesn't fit into everyone elses mold, I'm not doing my job. Oh & whenever I need to assistance from these people, do they jump? Um, no. But do I go whining to their boss or bug the hell out of them until they take care of me? No. Yes, I know there are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part this is the daily occurrence that I get to deal with.
Lastly, maybe the report that I look at constantly, everyday, doesn't need to be done "faster" or implying I'm not able to carry the load...maybe, just maybe, open your big head & try to understand there are other factors which play a role in my everyday work flow! Maybe if I didn't have to wait on other departments to do their job correctly and then have to "double check" their work again or if I was the only customer my vendors had & they would drop everything they were doing just to accommodate me, then just maybe I would have quotes back in a millisecond & prints would be correct & everything would just run smoothly...just saying. Why do people have be such big babies & always try to point fingers, never taking any responsibility & attempt to throw you under the bus?
And it's a mystery as to why I dislike people & am agitated with my job & question if this is really what I'm suppose to be doing in life...am I supposed to just be content with things as they are & not ever be truly happy or experience "never working a day in your life?

Booty call!
Seriously - unless you are a famous rapper or in a rap video, there is absolutely no reason you should be wearing hot pants or a skirt out to dinner where your coochie hangs out.
Especially when it is 20 degrees outside. Definite fashion DON'T in my book!

Checks and balances in the workplace
Why is it there are always too many chiefs & not enough Indians? It's pretty bad when the movie "Office Space" is dead on with a typical day in the office for me. Is it absolutely necessary for 3-5 different people to ask me the same damn question or ask me if I'm ordering something off the report that I look at everyday & am responsible for?!
I had always wanted to be a buyer..but they never tell you it's not as glamorous as you might think. Everything is your fault, you have to jump when know one else does & pull miracles out of your ass. Now don't get me wrong - I am thankful for my job & the people I work with - I just feel like I hit a wall & everyday it seems I resent what I do just a little bit more. Maybe one day it will get better - until then, I will continue to see stupid people & they will continue to irritate me.

It's going to be a white Christmas!
I love Christmas time for many reasons - but this year I have tapped into my creative side & am making decorations myself & DIY gifts!
These are felt snowflake garlands (they never tell you that a project is tedious! Lol) & I think they came out pretty good :)

Arts & Crafts time again!
For some odd reason, I have been super motivated to try out some DIY projects.
Anthropologie necklace
1st pic is original
2nd pic is my creation
Then, check out my ghetto scrap holder! I got tired of all my stuff that I am currently working on just scattered all over my living room (yes, I do my crafts there because my "craft" room is still not put together)

What it must be like...
I have always had a love for fashion & beautiful things...but I suppose I'm not like most females in the industries. I hate drama, not aggressive & I guess I just never really fit in. But I love it. Its hard not to envy or be jealous of celebrities, & I try no to be, but I can't help but wish my life could be fabulous. I mean, I know that they have there own issues & may be an even harder life because they are always under scrutiny.
I don't necessarily want to be famous, just be able to work around them & still be a part of the wonderful world of fashion. I don't know how some get so lucky, but I dream of becoming a makeup artist & successful, but I don't think I'm destined for anything spectacular. This really has no purpose, just sucks to wish in the impossible.
