My 2024 so far is pretty meh!

I got sick the day Bear and I came back from his parents and it's still killing me. This is the second time in 1 month I've gotten the flu! I first got it from the end of November-middle-ish of December. I'm so blaming Bear's nephew for this. He was sick on Christmas. I really should've gotten the flu shot last month! Dammit!

Anyway, I was hoping to stay up and watch the ball drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve but guess what! I FELL ASLEEP! I ended up sleeping the ball drop and the first HOUR of the new year! All because of this damn flu! And if that wasn't bad enough I had to work New Year's Day too! The buses weren't running because it was a holiday so Bear had to ask a coworker if they could give us a ride to work. I was also only running on 4 hours of sleep. I tried to go to sleep early so I could wake up with enough time to eat some breakfast and get ready for work well that happened but it wasn't a good thing. I slept from 8am-12pm! How I didn't have a seizure at work from that little sleep is beyond me. But I did nap during my first 15 minute break so.

At least something good came out of working New Year's Day: I got a promotion (if you wanna call it that). The new overnight manager started working with us that night and I guess during his training period he had been talking with the store manager about adding a new section for the recovery team. Recovery team basically ensures that their section is stocked and neat every night. Before there were two sections under recovery: Lumber (Bear's section) and Garden. After my new manager and the store manager talked they added a new section: Event. The event section spans the entire front of the store and that's where we put our seasonal items (Halloween, Christmas, etc.).

During our work meeting (where the manager divides us into our different sections) the nightly truck manager told me to hang back because he and the new overnight manager had a "special project" for me. I was both curious and nervous and it didn't help that some people looked over at me like "why is she getting a special project?" WTF! Bear also looked at me but his face said more "I wonder what this is about?"

After the meeting, both managers walked me over to our Christmas items (cue even more confusion but less nervousness [because pretty lights]) and the overnight manager stepped forward and explained everything to me. He said he started a new event recovery section (with the store manager's approval) and he explained the role of the job. After he explained everything he then asked me if I'd like the position and I accepted it. After I accepted he gave my task for the night which was to take items from the shelves on one side and move them into the shelves on the other side so we can make room for some mowers and other lawn equipment that had started coming in. I started doing what I could but it could take a few days. I mean, shit, I'm fitting 4 shelves of items into 2 shelves. I think I can do it though, especially if some more stuff sells out by the time I go in tonight.

In other news, I got the day off yesterday. To be fair, I did request it off because it was Blue's (my ferret) birthday yesterday but I would've gotten a day off this week regardless because the store is cutting down on hours. I just happen to be able to choose which day had off. I'll still get a full 40 hours pay because I got holiday pay for New Year's.

Anyway, I really hope I can get better soon and that I can do really good at my new position at work! Wish me luck!

Dear Mrfox,

Are you incapable of reading profile bios? It clearly states in mine, as well as in my journal, I'm engaged to be married. My fiance has been mentioned multiple times in my journals, too. I want nothing to do with you or your micropenis. Also not all goth girls "domme mommies", I am a sub. So, disrespectfully, get the fuck out of my messages.

With pettiness,

Raven
