I'm starting to worry about our previous dog. I've been looking for him to show up on the shelter's website, and he has not. It's been several weeks now. Either he was put on the floor and immediately adopted without my notice, which seems unlikely, or he has not yet been put out on the adoption floor. I just hope he wasn't put down for some reason...He really is a lovable dog.

That Orphan law thing reminds me a lot of the Internet Neutrality thing. I'm not sure how far long this is in congress, but I have serious doubts that it'll pass.

Af Mas That Orphan law thing reminds me a lot of the Internet Neutrality thing. I'm not sure how far long this is in congress, but I have serious doubts that it'll pass. I've heard that the bill was actually introduced some time ago and has been dead for a long time. Someone just decided, for the lulz, to throw the whole furry community into a frothing at the mouth uproar.

I'm kind of in a funk right now and really need to rant.
I almost got fired from my job in the school library Friday afternoon; long story short, it seems like Kathy (one of my bosses) feels like she's having to babysit me by telling me what work I should be doing (which is totally unnecessary), and wanted to "let me go" (which we all know is a PC way of saying "you're fired"). We talked for a while (me crying the whole time, embarrassingly enough), and she decided "against [her] better judgment" (WTF?) to give me another chance. I'm really upset with myself, but I'm also upset with her because she's totally singling me out for doing things. . . not the way she wants, I guess, I dunno what she wants from me. The only time I sit at the front desk is when I'm done with everything that needs to be done (or my back is really hurting me), and I know I've asked a bunch of questions of Abby & Ellen (my other bosses), but only one time, and I always stick around to find out the answer so I don't have to ask again. I would much rather be yelled at for asking a question that I "have been [there] long enough to know the answer to" (Kathy's words, not mine) than to not ask, muck something up, then get yelled at for mucking things up.
I have really bad ADD, and it's hard for me to pick up on social cues sometimes. I think I come across as being really capable (as my boss made some comments to that effect), but that's because I work damn hard at policing myself so I don't get off-track and subsequently get into trouble. Obviously, it doesn't always work, and that's when I get in trouble. Such as on Friday.
When I think about it, though, it is a good thing; this is kind of a wake-up call/reminder for me that I have to constantly keep myself on-track. I'm on really thin ice now, and one more ******** is gonna send me right out the door, so I have to work a lot harder than I have been at keeping my ADD in check. I really don't want to have to be on medication again.
In other news, Steve left this afternoon on another business trip to Austin; he'll be away until May 10. I'm missing him a bunch, but I'm gonna (try to) go visit him next weekend (the weekend of the 25th), so I'm doing alright. Besides, I've got loads of homework to keep me busy.

Kakarotto-san Speaking of shitty people..I really hope this law doesn't get paased http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=ageone&article_no=3605&age=3My art would be able to be taken and I wouldn't be able to do commission work anymore..I would be out of business.. Speaking of which, I am still considering doing Gaia commissions again. Still deciding though. It will be limited thing though. The gaint toad form of the Orindae is making me laugh for some reason. I so want that raptor though..x_x

Well, I took my dog to the groomer today. He looks a lot better with his fur trimmed and all the mats removed. They said he was a good boy, so I'm relieved. I'd been working with him throughout the week to get him used to getting manhandled. Though the ladies that worked there were really unsure about the little guy being a papillion and were talking about other possibilities...which I can't remember. gonk I need to find our digital camera so I can get some pictures of him.

I've got the same problem from my ADHD. I get in trouble constantly with my b/f's mom cause I forget to do chores or how to do it "the right way". I'm always distracted and I can't focus on anything other than art or video games for more than 10 minutes.

Well, after failing my GPS test, the day only got worse. I broke my glasses by rolling over them when I got up off the bed. One of the lenses had popped out, so I had to drive all the way to the eye exam place, squinting my left eye shut and peering through my right. It gave me a damn headache, and I was afraid what appeared to be all right was in fact not. I thought that I was weaving erratically, even though it seemed to me that I was driving fairly straight. I dunno, I managed to get there without killing anyone, which is a blessing, I suppose.
Anyway, managed to get my glasses fixed, and, since I had already missed one class, decided to just say ******** it and go to the urgent care center, seeing as how I have what seems to be the beginning of a sinus infection. After the usual waiting around and paperwork bullshit, the general practitioner gave me some nasal spray and a prescription for some pills. Walmart didn't have them and when I went to the other drug store, they said that nobody in that town or even in the county would have such a drug, that it would have to be flown in from another state. I didn't feel like waiting that long, so I got some Mucinex D instead.
Not a fun day, and I somehow think it won't be a fun week either. =_=
