1 positive, 1 negative. in Since OD is shutting down....

So, I ended up getting the cats yesterday. My co-worker met me at a gas station and had one in a pet carrier and the other 2 in crates that she taped together because she didn’t have any other kennels and we didn’t have time to get some. She pulled up crying like no other because I get one of them was crying and it sounded like she was calling for Dan. I felt so bad. We got them into my car and 2 other them cried some on the way home. I got them inside and got their litter box filled and some food and water. I was 45 minutes late for work.

They seem to be adjusting very well. One of them slept with me last night and is here on my bed with me right now. The other 2 are pretty social and seem to be breaking out of their shell pretty easily. My co-worker gave me their scratch post which is super tall, plenty of food and cat litter. I’m glad to have them but it’s definitely an adjustment for me as well. I didn’t have pets for almost 11 years and now I have to look out for not only 1, but 3 of them.

I slept until about noon today because I was just exhausted. I had one of the cats trying to wake me up but I just couldn’t muster being awake for more than 5 minutes. I met with the bank lady and she said there shouldn’t be too much of a problem getting me approved but I will have to take a homeowner class and clean up like 4 different things on my credit but there’s only 2 that are affecting my credit score. Both of them are super cheap so I’m not super upset about it.

Right before I’m to head out to work, my co-worker text me to say that after this bonus we get tomorrow, we won’t be getting them anymore. I’m completely rocked by this and if it comes to light that we won’t be getting it, I do plan to start looking for another job. I know that we’ve only been getting it for about a year and a half but it’s part of our income and they save a lot of money because there’s only 6 of us that get it.

I’m pissed because I’ve been there 3 years next month and have poured my heart and soul into my job. I wanted to move up and become a manager again at some point but now, I’m just thinking it’s time to move on. I’m not going to keep working for a company that obviously doesn’t give any kind of fuck about us and we aren’t ever going to make more than minimum wage.

I’m getting emails all the time about other jobs that pay better and I might start applying because I do want better for myself. I told someone I work with today that we are fucking burn outs and maybe this is the incentive we need to get out.

Anyways, I’m tired and gonna scroll through Facebook and go to bed.
