Picture 381

So, how's it goin’?
Sorry that I've been gone for a whole week.
I was hoping to be in a better mind set.

Picture 380

So….
Hi.
How are you?
I'm doing ok.

Picture 379

So, umm… Hi.
Uhhh….
I can explain.
One of my fellow co-workers had something come up and I took his shift.
That’s why I didn't do a post yesterday.
Now, about working.
I typed this pretty fast.

So, it's got some grammar issues.

Be ready.

Look at the new picture.
Doesn't it look like I'm working at Babies R Us?
It doesn't! You say.
Well, that's because I'm not.
Now your all wondering why!?
After everything that happened!
Why?!!
Well…. I'm not sure.
Mostly because of the pay.
Sorry, but it's true.
When you go from working 40 hours at $9 down to 20 hours at $7.25, there's a difference.
And right now, I need as much money as I can get.
Here's the thing, I would have already been at Wally World.
I've been trying for five months to get back in.
Everything time I went in there the mangers asked if I'm coming back.
Or they'll put a word in for me to get back in.
What word is it?
…..
FOCUS!
I went in and talked to EVERY manager.
Except for one of course.
But because I didn't want to talk to him, he wouldn’t let me come back.
I did give in and talked to him.
All I said was “can I come back”.
He said “Yes.”
But did I come back…. NO!
He just wanted to mess with me.
So I went next door to Sam's Club.
They said they’d hire me.
Did they?
NO!
They lied to me too!
So after a months of nonsense, I went somewhere else.
Because I needed a job.
My mom said to hold out just a little bit longer.
Because something big was about to go down.
She sensed it in the air.
But I didn't.
And of course, two days after I got hired at BRU, someone got fired.
……….
Shhhh……oot.
But it was too late.
I wanted to see what this new job was like anyways!
It was all rainbows and butterflies at first.
After three weeks…..I lost my mind.
I hate people.
That's why it's just me in the pictures.
I only like me.
Being on the register is what killed it.
I'm a stocker!
It's like having to go on the door at Wally World to cover a door greeters lunch.
I slowly die inside.
I can't stop moving.
So, when I have to stand in a space and not leave it.
….. I die!
I need a time-lapse of the security cameras at both places.
I'd like to watch me pace around like a mad man.
The job at BRU just wasn't for me.
So, I updated my Wally World application and left it at they.
I didn't go in and talk.
I didn't do anything.
I want to see if they noticed.
…..and they did.
They called.
I said yes.
And boom!
I was in.
That fast!
But then I had an issue.
I had to put in my two weeks at BRU.
There's the problem.
Wally World, I like the job.
Hiding outside, in my own world.
Away from everyone.
But I also hated the people.
But most of them have left.
They got kicked out as well.
Moving on.
At BRU, I liked the people.
But hated the job.
It's true.
I did.
But the people were awesome.
I really didn't like saying goodbye.
But I had too.
While I finished my two weeks, on my days off I went to Wally World.
I got all the new hire things done.
So, when the time at BRU is up, I can start at Wally World right after.
It was the next day in fact.
Now…it's all done.
Now that I'm back I feel….happy.
Everyone else is happy to see me.
It's like I never left.
Sure the job is tough, but I'll get over it.
I doing extra steps to make sure I don't die.
Because I am still broken.
I didn't start out at $10 like they said.
All new hired have to “earn it”.
Whatever.
I'm 32 hours at $9.
So, a day less than what I was at.
I still have my Sunday's and Wednesday's off!
And I got paid last night.
I'm making DOUBLE of what I was at BRU.
It still it a lot but it's a start.
Ok.
Sorry about the long rambling that just happened.
It's a complicated story.
This past year has been complicated.
Anyways, that's all I have.
I could touch on the other things in life.
I got my financial aid stuff in the mail.
I still don't have to card with the money.
But I got to see how much I'm getting.
Hehehe…..
It's big.
I'll be able to get the things I need.
Like a new computer…..
And a new lens.
I don't need a new camera for once.
I'm fine with what I have!
Hmmmmm…….
I can't think of anything else to say.
This picture wasn't that hard to make.
There's a boat load of those purple trees everywhere.
So, I wanted to get a picture of one.
And a while back I made a picture of me at work.
It was a month before I left.
I was dying in the picture because it was a hot almost summer night.
And I was alone out there.
Fun times!
Things still haven't changed!
So, I wanted to re-do it.
I noticed a cart next to that area…..
So….I just nonchalantly went over and got it.
With the GoPro in my hand.
BOOM!
See.
I was still working.
I'm always working!
I didn't go out of my way to make it.
Then a little brightness, contrast, and saturation.
BOOM!
All done.
Compare!
This was before I cropped it.

Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original picture to see the after editing one.
If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.

AMAZING!!
Just what I wanted!
Let's try the Image Slider.
Here's how it works...
There's a blue bar in the middle of the picture.
That's the slider.
The slider will disappear when you move your mouse off of the image.
I did that so you can really see the split.
But, it'll come back when you hover over it again.
You can CLICK on it and DRAG it around to get our on split image.
Or, you can use these presets.
Before FULL, After FULL, 50/50, Before a QUARTER, or After a QUARTER.

Before

After

Ok.
Hopefully I got everything covered.
You can also see all this in the Monthly Update.
There isn't a BTS for this picture.
I made it too fast.
Plus, it was going to tie into the update video.
It's a long video!
It covers a lot.
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
All done!
Thanks for reading this random post.
Hopefully thing will get better.
I still haven't died yet.
I'm looking forward to the future!
It looks promising.
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
