Day 122: Playstation Network Names

When I play Fat Princess I see the most off the wall names lol. They are all pretty amusing and I noticed a majority of them refer to food. I screen capped a bunch of them for reference lol.

I used to see Fattest Peenis a lot on here and then all of a sudden a user named Fat Peeniss joins in and I am cracking up that either it's a coincidence or they know each other but either way it's hilarious.

LOL. That's special.

Yes. So much so that you have a PSN handle honoring it.
Would not have pegged Alanis Morisette for a Fat Princess player.
I imagine there is a story behind this.
LOL.

Good old Fattest again, with another food reference name. EW.
This name always had be dying. He is a double agent though so you gotta be careful with him. So are Fat and Fattest Peenis
Fork-Fork....haha what?
*Bunch of Mexicans* LOL. Special shout out to me at the top left. Always tearing it up.

Day 120: "I Quit Dis Bitch"

So I quit working at the restaurant because the taxes are outrageous but I went in tonight which was my usual night, to get dinner and my last check. The owner was in and we had a nice chat. There are no hard feelings because he's really nice and he knows I worked hard and loved that place and I liked who I worked with and enjoyed my job but I can't afford to pay half my year's wages in taxes just because it's a second job. Anyway, they didn't have a cashier so when they needed help I stepped in and helped here and there out of the goodness of my heart because I won't sit there and watch them struggle when I am right there and can help. I didn't clock in or anything I just wanted to help. I had pizza and 2 beers and the owner comped them I assume because I was working lol. He's a nice guy.

Omission. Good stuff.

Day 118: My SInging Monsters

This game takes a very long time to progress because almost every monster you breed takes several hours to form an egg and then several hours after to hatch so sometimes a day for one monster :/ It's a huge bummer but it's a really cute game. You basically have to get a bunch of different monsters together to turn your Island into a song. Each monster does something different musically.

Day 117: Circle Skirt Success

I have been mulling over the math you have to do in order to correctly make a circle skirt so I have put it off for a long time. I finally watched enough Youtube videos and read a million tutorials on how to do it in many different ways. A week ago I did a freehand version that ended up not turning into a circle skirt so i figured the only way to do it correctly was to attempt the math portion to get it right and badda bing badda boom, that was it, it worked. It took me 9 hours though because I had to redo a few things at times and I stopped now and again to eat and relax but sironing is a must and it takes AGES because I am constantly ironing UGH. I didn't get the zipper quite right but I fixed it as best as I could with eye hooks and now I know what to do next time. After completing this I saw an A-Line skirt online unfortunately that I thought looked even better so now I must try that -___-. This is for the Bridesmaids dresses so I have to love it and perfect it. I will try the A-line and see which of the2 I like best but I DO love this skirt, just wish it were a little fuller.

Day 114: Dirty People

Getting real tired of women at my job who can't flush the toilet properly and leave stuff behind on the toilet like the pube you see  here.

Day 113: Snow again

Snow is pretty, just not fun when you have to go to work. We haven't seen this much snow (in frequency) in VA in many years. Sure we had a blizzard a couple years back but it didn't snow every 5 days then like it has been doing this year.

Day 107: 13 inches of Snow

We had a REAL snow day finally!

by the time it stopped snowing though I think it was closer to 16 inches but I wasn't outside to measure it then. I measured it first thing in the morning.

Mini got bundled up to frolic in the snow too. She didn't know what to do for a good deal of time but when I started running in it she attempted to follow but got stuck so i picked her up and ran with her, plopped her in the snow and it gave her the energy she needed to start running and hopping around like a snow bunny :3 She's so damn cute

Day 105: Fabric Store Loot


I have to start working on the skirts I will be doing for my Bridesmaids in November so I went to the fabric store to get some stuff I needed in general and a brown polyester fabric to use for practicing this skirt. Ideally I want to use an elastic waistband and the girls will have a matching fabric piece to wrap around their waist and tie into a bow but they didn't have a thick enough waistband so I got a zipper. Right NOW, the only thing that matters to me is the way the skirt will look once completed regardless of the waistband. Haven't started yet but this is what I got.

Day 100: Dreaded Tax Returns.

I MADE IT TO 100 DAYS!!!
It's been tough too, but I did it.

Moving on, today I got on Turbo tax to start filing my taxes which i have been thoroughly dreading like the fucking plague because I haven't received money back from filing taxes in YEARS. LAST year my second job dicked me right the fuck over by costing me about $300 in taxes that I owed so I knew this year would be no exception. I was done filing my first job (my full time job) and I was owed back a whopping $10.

 I knew that joy wouldn't last very long as I got ready to file for my second job. I clenched my butt tight and began entering all the necessary data and BAM....there it was. I owed $380. THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS. WHY??? Because the guy running the place there NEVER fucking takes out FEDERAL TAXES!!!! He obviously doesn't give a shit that he royally fucks over his employees because he's apparently been doing this since he started his business over 20 years ago! What the fuck. I panicked and had a mild anxiety attack, one where my heart started racing and I couldn't get it under control for about 2 hours. It was BAD. I raged to my fiance about it because this meant I couldn't afford to pay my taxes AND continue to contribute into our wedding account. He said not to worry so I felt better..... until I realized that was only my FEDERAL portion. When I entered my State taxes .... Another $148 was tacked on. So I owe the IRS $528 because of that shit ass one day a week job. Seriously.... I work there 1 day a week and get about $120 a month. I only worked there to assist with gas money and little odds and ends but I certainly don't NEED to work there when this is the end result.

I only work 1 day a week. I do it because it helps like I said, with little odds and ends and because I like my Wednesday crew and in general I enjoy working there but I work my ass off and I mean REALLY busting my ass with manual labor and running back and forth and making sure everything is up to speed and well stocked, etc which is way more than I do at my full time job and this is what I get for it.

Look at this math:

I get about $120 a month from working there so $120 x 12(months) = $1,440 a year. (I actually just thought about it and laughed because I make more than that a MONTH at my full-time granted yes, I am only working 4 days a month there) okay moving along. $1,440 - $528 (taxes I owe) = $912. So after paying taxes I am really only getting $912 a year. So $912 / 12(months) = $76 a month. I work 4 hours each shift so 4hours x 4(days I work those shifts) = 16. So for 16 hours of work I get $76. Can you guess what that is hourly? That's right..... $4.75  WAY LESS than minimum wage. I am 29 fucking years old with a LOT of work experience and skills under my belt, lot's of highly accredited jobs and here I am busting my fucking ASS for $4.75 an hour. I am putting in my 2 week's notice TODAY. It is NOT worth it. Luckily it is still very early in the year at about a month and 6 days so come NEXT year when I file I will only owe something like $80. FUCK YOU, I'M OUT.

Day 98 - Adventure Time Canvases



My sister painted these small canvases for me for Christmas. I only just now got around to taking a pic of them. SO CUTE.
