Ok..work work work...
So, I'm still fighting the FMLA fight...one line filled out wrong and my claim is denied again...so Monday we try to fix it. I vent to a coworker only to find out that the people I work with have never advance past junior high, and have been talking about me behind my back. Come on, people, act like adults. What's worse is that it's all about how I'm sick but I'm always asking for people to cover me for "vacations". You want to know the real story? Honestly I ask for my "Wednesday" off because I can't work more than three days straight, and this way I can cover most of the week without being completely immobilized on my day off. I took a four day trip that had been paid for already, not by me, and would've been a slap in the face not to take after we'd been given such a gift. The rest of my time off? Believe me, NOT a fucking vacation! I'm sorry it's none of your business as much as you like to think you know what you know about me.
We were supposed to have a shoot and hit a pumpkin patch yesterday, but the rain kept us in. Samhain was absolutely wonderful, and it was nice to be started in my participation. I turned in my letter of intent to join a specific oven last week, and yesterday they accepted me warmly and asked me to help out. It was a very good feeling. The event itself was intense for both of us in good and slightly speechless ways. It left us in deep though once we got home, which led to a synchonized case of insomnia, so we grabbed some cards and headed to the Ridge to grab some grub. Unfortunately that meant not a lot of sleep before getting up for today's event.
My friend, Liz, hired us to shoot her wedding. We beat every one by about a half an houe, but the place shaped up beautifully. The Dames Mansion in Center City was absolutely gorgeous, and the outdoor ceremony was wonderful. It was wonderful to be able to catch up with Liz while I worked, especially shooting the prep time in the dressing room. A little down time, a little sitting getting her hair and make up done, and a little "AAAHHHH!!!", and we had one of the most stunning brides I've ever seen. These jobs give us a lot of ideas to cut costs and personalize our own wedding. Today's was elegant but very budgetable. I loved it!
However, I am now more exhausted than I've been in a few weeks, and I'm looking at a 13 hour day tomorrow. We're hoping to be able to get out to a pumpkin patch sometime this week, preferably with Lyam in tow. I have a date Wednesday with a girl I've been talking to for a while, and I'm a bit excited. We've had a couple successful couples, but never just a girl,, and DEFINITELY not a one-on one.

On a slightly more disgusting note..the cat caught two mice today. One she killed on the spot, the other she crippled then tortured for two hours or more before she finally killed it. My cat is one sadistic little ball of fluff!
