Rejoice

Hale-fuckin-lujah, I finally got promoted, and a raise, after, what, just over two years? Starting Monday I'm fuckin finally going to get 40 hours a week instead of this 25 hour b.s.

The supposed downside; I have to start coming in at 4 AM. However, I've never really been able to completely master being diurnal, so I'll just go back to sleeping in the afternoon when I get off work (it's actually really quiet in my apartment building during the day) and get up and putter around and run errands or whatever at night, and then go to work. Fucking Walmart is open 24 hours and is conveniently located less than two miles from my apt, this is in fact a perfect arrangement for me.

so, YAY.

addendum: the cake decorating class is supposedly still a go, when the GM ''finds the time'' to enroll me. Meantime I shall check out the YouTube and find some tutorials, as I already have a piping bag and nozzles to practice with at home.

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! <3 because wow do you deserve this. Would it be evil of me to hope you still have time to write sometimes? XD

[pennie_dreadful]

I AM HAPPY AND EXCITE FOR THIS, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.

Of course I will still write, in fact I may be able to write even more without the stress of money eating at me. It's not a whole lot of money, comparatively speaking, but more than enough for me. I prefer to live simple.

breathing room, it is fucking important. I also hope this means you get to enjoy your job more! CAKE LOTS OF CAKE.

[pennie_dreadful]

YES AND MUFFINS AND CROISSANTS AND COOKIES AND PASTRIES. CINNAMON ROLLS! WE DO IT ALL BABY.

My sister's mother in law contacted me about making her wedding cake ;___; Is this real life.

THAT'S HOW YOU ROLL?

WEDDINGS; kind of adorable but I'm still not sure why anyone goes to all the stress/expense/effort? awww, though, it is lovely that you can do something for your sister.

Haha yeah, we're a bakery on top of the other shit we do.

Weddings; her mother in law just wants a regular sheet cake, just, you know, nice and not something someone made out of a box. I know my sister wants to do the whole shebang; they already had a civil ceremony, she just wants an offical church wedding, idk either, but whatever, as long as she doesn't renege on wanting me to be a bridesmaid of the caterer. o.O

My sister did the same thing - civil ceremony last year, then church wedding this year. All the best with the cake! I am sure it will be awesome :D
