First off, with nearly 8,000 messages and 5 notes, I need to clean out my inbox ;P

I managed to survive finals, and owe a huge thank you to DaxDaxWolfy for her incredible help with my JavaScript final! I've somehow managed to keep my 4.0GPA, so that's amazing. 

I've now survived two weeks at my new job... and, honestly, I'm not sure how much longer I can stay there. By title I am a Web & Graphics Designer, in practice I am someone who is watching over a store I know nothing about (Football and Golf autographed memorabilia) trying to answer questions the customers have, copy and pasting products and information off partner websites into a program that posts them onto the website for me (so, basically, even my technologically- challenged father could even do that), I make occasional banners for the site, but most of my time is spent on the phone with the boss's son being yelled at and belittled. I'm working Monday-Friday and I've got basically an hour to an hour and half after work to chill before I have to go to bed so I can get a semi-decent amount of sleep before going back. And then, when the weekend rolls around, I'm so worn thin that I basically lay in bed watching HGTV and playing Animal Crossing trying not to have a panic attack every time my phone rings or my text chime goes off (because yes, the boss's son calls and text even when I'm off the clock. Not to say I pick up when I'm not at work because I just don't need that when I'm off as well). The only reason I haven't quit is because my great aunt and cousin work there as well, so I can't just leave and never have to deal with anyone from there ever again :/ My goal is to get a car and a decent phone and leave, but I've been hearing rumors that the local horse track is hiring designers, so if I get that hob, that would be a very good reason for leaving this scummy job ;P

I've got one more semester before I graduate... again. Next semester should be lower on the stress scale than the recently ended semester, but since this job is not at all what it was promised to be, I'll have to go through an internship on top of the classes and whatever job I end up having (though if I'm still at the sports store and not the track I will more than likely have to quit. I can't deal with all of that bullshit on top of classes and interning).

I'm considering selling some of my Shedus and leaving Tokotas. There are, of course, several shedus I will never sale, but if there are any you are interested in, let me know.

I've got a renewed interest in fawnlings, but not a whole lot of time to devote to them, sadly. I usually end up doodling on scrap paper while on the phone at work, so I do have some decent sketches of Shaan, Izra-Il, and Sisu I'm hoping I can do something with.

I hope all of you are having a great summer!

Yikes, that doesn't sound like fun.

Completely agree with Kiy...that or, if they don't stop even after that, quit. Jobs like that rarely ever get better :(
