Re: Leaving bronze (or newbie!) status

  • So we're having a thanksgiving pot luck at my office on Monday.  I'm bringing a dessert.  What should I bring?  I was planning on baking, not buying.

    Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting? I'm a cupcake whore, any flavor, any occasion.

    Things are super awkward in the salon...this girl is avoiding me like the plague.

    She should be!  She knows she was a dbag yesterday.

    Seriously.

    I'm scared of her though, she's....of color, and might know people.. I'm not racist, promise. Just a smart ass.

    That's what I was thinking.  Then I found a recipe for a pumpkin bread pudding.  then I found one for a sweet potato bourbon cake.  Now I'm looking at a pumpkin spice cake.  So many yummy options!!

    Hmm.  Not good when people know people.  Hopefully she'll just slow her roll.

    I posted a clicky poll on what's cooking for this decision.

  • I feel SO bad....

    The "good" group of us stylists were hanging in the break room and talking about...idont remember, but it had to do with making$xxxx per paycheck. & I said, "oh thats not much more than we get paid."

    They both responded.. "WHO ARE YOU 'BLOWING(lol)?" Then I gave the range os my paychecks (bad idea) & apparently I make a couple hundred dollars more then the "head stylist", who gets paid more. We work the same amount of hours 

    He walked out and jokingly said "oh we arent friends now."

    The other stylist let me know he has NEVER had a check over $xxx.

    Now I feel horrible for even saying anything. I thought they were making tons more than me.

    Stupid stupid stupid.

     

    ps, pay attn to the amount of x's. lol.

    Just a minor warning...a lot of companies have a rule about discussing how much you make with coworkers. 

    On a personal note, this is exactly WHY I don't discuss pay (or finances for that matter) with anyone.  I found out that a chick I used to work with made slightly more than me even though she was hired after me and had ZERO experience.  I was pissed.  Whatever.  It's not a forever job.

    Yeah I normally dont discuss that, but I dug myself a hole.  What we are paid hourly is the same for everyone. Its the commissions (more clients = more $), and tips that actually MAKE the check. So it can vary greatly.
  • I'm sitting at the dealership. Getting ready to "play the game". Wish me luck!

    The third one is cutest, the  others are NMS, but I do like the BB one, since those are HUGE here.

     

    Sry I couldnt respond to the PM, my phone & the ipad dont like PMs. 

  • Omg, my sister just informed me that she may, or may not be pregnant again....

    If she is, I call dibs. TOTALLY NOT FAIR.

    (That's "I don't know what to say...I'm stunned!")  I think being preg with a basically brand new baby at home sounds awful.  However, I feel like crap today so I'm a bit biased.

  • I made the pumpkin bread pudding this weekend when my dad came to dinner.  YUM.  I made some fresh cinnamon whipped cream to go with it.  I ended up doing a double batch for the office potluck today.

    My nephews are less than 16 months apart.  It was pretty rough.  They're growing us as best friends, but I think it was pretty exhausting for my SIL.

  • Today sucks.  I'm not sure if something I've been working on at work is going to happen (which sent me into tears), a friend's sister was just diagnosed with breast cancer, another friends grandmother was just cleared from breast cancer a month ago, now they think it has taken over her whole body (possible hospice situation), another friend that's about to get divorced found out things about her hubby that he's been doing, the list just goes on and on.  BLAH.
