(no subject)

Remember months ago when I was ready and rearing to quit Starbucks and find a new job? WELL, this time I'm actually serious, haha. For these main reasons: a) October 2008 was my two years with the company, and I was supposed to receive I raise. Not only have I STILL not received it, but I haven't gotten the backpay for it yet either, b) my paycheck a couple days ago was utterly utterly abysmal, and there is no way that I can support myself on what I'm getting paid any longer. Of course this is circular to a), but seeing as how my two year and six month review (AND another raise) is coming up in March... haha, yeah, okay. And this is all a little bit depressing to me, because I LIKE being a barista. I really do. It's a cool job, I'm really really good at it, and not to sound too much like a douchebag, but I feel kinda spiffy doing it. It's just... the pay is awful, even MORE stores are closing now, my hours are being lessened, and trying to go to bed at 10pm to wake up at 4am really sucks balls (even if I love working morning shifts, what with watching the sun rise and getting out early enough to do a lot of stuff throughout the day aaaand, yeah.)

So, sigh. Moving on it is. Good thing I'm not really too attached to my coworkers, like at my last store, otherwise I'd feel even worse. But omg. Writing a resume looks hard. :(

Also, HOW EXACTLY can one make an animated .gif without having to sit there and CAP every frame that you want to use? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE. It better be, because dude. HALP.

ETA: YAYAYAY MY BFF FROM BACK HOME SAID HE'D TOTALLY GO SEE MY BLOODY VALENTINE WITH ME EEEE YAAAAY!
