I guess the title pretty much says it. Not sure how long I'll be stuck before I finally manage to rip my bum up from the ground again. I can guess at part of the reason I feel like this; I just finished rereading the Harry Potter books. It's not those book in general that make me feel depressed, it's getting to the end of a story that I really like. Movies do the same thing to me, it's a bit stupid, really.
I'm also out of it cause of work. I'm an assistant groomer at Petco, for those who don't know. Starting on the new week I'm going under alert or something, cause I haven't been doing enough dogs. Which kinda pisses me off. I mean, almost EVERYONE comes in to get the groomer, we hardly ever get just baths. Nail clippings only come in occasionally. They fuss at us to go around the store and find people with dogs and try to take them in, but we also require proof of rabies before anything unless they're under 4 months!!! Who the heck carries rabies papers around with them wherever they go?! They haven't gotten on to me about this yet, but they're probably gonna start fussing about how many Book-A-Baths I do, which is like none. It's stupid too!! Book-A-Bath is when we call people who've been in before and see if they want to bring their dogs in for a bath. But they also push us to make return appointment dates, so everyone on the list we can call already has an appointment already made!!!! That just makes it pointless to have to call them up, really. Top it all off, they're cutting hours. I'm almost always put on evening shift, which used to be 2-8. Now they're making it 3-7. Four hours!!! That means I'll only get 16-20 hours per week compared to the 24-30 hours I was working previously!!! Seriously, I don't see the point of having to drive about 40 minutes just to get there if they're gonna start docking it all that much.
The hour changes aren't going to help my money issues. I owe my dad $400 cause I dropped out of a college class too late to get a refund. It was my fault though, and my idea to pay him back. I just got paid, so hopefully I can make a start towards that. I also really want to get a new laptop, but that's gonna cost a ton as well!!! Add in the fact that I'm planning on moving to Flordia sometime soon to pick up school there and the emo corner feels more and more inviting.
I do have reasons for wanting the new laptop. This one has memory issues, and crashes a lot if there's too much going on. They keys are going down the suicide path; my space bar is only grudgingly continuing to work and my 'm' key is gone. I lost it somewhere, but it's broken and requires gluing even if I find it. Adding to that, my power cord is doing it's best to sever itself and has half succeeded. Which means a good 5 minutes fiddling with it 'til it starts to charge and keeping it in that position 'lest it kill itself again. Sadly the only position that it seems to work in is one that just further tears away at the cord.

Urg, I'm giving myself a headache with all the negative. I'm gonna dash out the house for a walk and see if I can't bully myself into believing this will all turn out for the better >.<
