Photoshop stuff...

So I have a collection of Photoshop pictures and such that has been growing lately. I taught myself most of what I know how to do in Photoshop from various tutorials and videos online. Plus Photoshop is really all I did my Senior year of High School so I have a little practice!
 
This is a line art drawing I did of Pink.

This is my Max-A-Million. Captured his cute moment in this one! 

This was an interesting technique to learn and the effect is pretty cool too! 

I really like this coffee cup. In the smoke if you look close enough you can see there are words that describe coffee house drinks. 

This was fun because it got an eye roll from my subject! I mean he is like 6' 4'' for god's sake he might as well be an Avatar! 

This has a lot of components. First I had to make the goo look like it was coming out of the gun. Than I had to separate pieces of the grenade before making the goo and smoke for each one of them. It took a while but it was fun! 

Overall I really do enjoy Photoshop and I am going to try and post the new things I make on here as well as my album on Facebook. Really with school I haven't had as much time as I'd like to devote to such things. But that's how it goes right?

My Kittehs!

So I thought I would finally put some pictures of my 2 adorable children on my blog. And this entry seemed as good a place as ever! Enjoy they are pretty cute!! I'll add more photos later!

uhhg... My nose is killing me!

So my throat hurt last night right... well I woke up this morning and couldn't breath outta one nostril! Then I almost couldn't talk lol It was really pathetic. Why is it that Nate will get sick and he won't stay sick but I get that same thing and can't function for the next week!?

Change... good in small doses....

So there are 10 registers at work. And yeah they need change but you won't use 4 rolls of pennies or even one roll of nickels in your five hour shift. So why is it that someone thinks there needs to be 4 rolls of pennies and a roll of nickels and dimes and 2 rolls of quarters? Seriously it just makes the drawer heavier than shit and harder to count. 
Now on to my next rant..... WHY is it that the day I have to do the most talking my throat decides it wants to hurt and makes my voice crack? Do I really need to deal with that while dealing with the idiots on the phone and in the store all night? NO!  
Really tonight wasn't a bad night it actually went really well (despite the change thing). 


On another note, Nate got fired. For some bullshit reason after some other bullshit we just won't mention. But luckily he is an LVN and you can't stay unemployed for long when you are a nurse. We were up at 8:15 this morning arguing over covers of all things lol when his old job called. Shortly later we were up and dressed and out picking up applications. We filled out 4 online then went and saw Joseph (who I think should come back and work with me!)  at Coronado before calling a few places in the paper. 
The third place we called decided they wanted him, we went filled out the paper and stuff and now he's gonna be a travel nurse making a min of $21 and hour to drive to Sweetwater or Odesa or somewhere and be a nurse 6a to 6p or something like that. So overall besides being up before noon on a day I didn't have to do anything before noon, today was a pretty good day. Good close, found Nate a job, pretty good day! 


Now I suppose I should probably go to bed seeing as how I have to go to school at 8 am tomorrow morning. 
Night All!!

Closing...

So tonight was the first night I had to close all by my lonesome! I think it turned out alright despite the constant 
nagging I had to do to get someone to do what I asked them to. Pretty soon I'm gonna be the GSM that writes you up till you get the point! I mean seriously how hard is it to answer the phone by the 3rd ring, check the box every 30 min and run the freaking videos?!? I don't think I ask for too much just what you're already supposed to be doing! Have some initiative damn!

Poor Max-A-Million

My poor Bubba! Archimedes went in to heat... most likely on Monday so that would make today day 3. Max will be snuggling with her or giving her a bath and all the sudden she is hissing and biting at him and poor Max doesn't know what to do. He gets all but hurt and sulks off away from her just to have to come back and love on him again! My poor Max is gonna have a complex by the time her cycle ends! I'm getting her an apt. with Dr. Lewis as soon as she is finished with her cycle so we won't have to go through this again!!  You should see Max's hurt face! I might try and get a picture. He looks so dumbfounded!

Work....possible rantings about work....yeah

   So tonight I got to close as a Front Counter manager and I think it went alright despite the associates that decided they didn't wanna listen! I mean come on guys I only ask for things when I can't do it all myself! 
   And in the middle of all that... the new stuff, stuff not getting done,people not listening, there was a man who fell during a seizure and bumped his head. But thankfully there was a State Trooper there that helped along with a couple of our regular rental customers. The ambulance came and took him to the hospital. I hope he is alright. I held the movies he'd been shopping for so if he came back he wouldn't have to go looking for them. 
   I wonder if Bob will start scheduling me to close more often now that I have learned how? I mean that would make sense right? I could work like 3 more days a week then! That would be awesome! 
   Well I suppose that is all for this evening it is late and I have to go to school tomorrow. First day back since all the snow crap happened! Well Max and I say good night all!!

Snow

Well it snowed yesterday and since snow in Abilene, Texas happens once in a blue moon everything kinda shuts down. Well that is except for my work! Of course one of the only places that stays open when its dangerous to be out is my job. Ya know one of the maybe 4 places that stay open when its colder than shit and twice as icy! I have to work at 5 so that could be a fun experience! 5pm to 11pm woot I'm so very excited!! NOT! And on top of that I have to go back to the Doc and see why my infection hasn't gone away... really sucks when you know it hasn't because it keeps you awake..... :( bummer dude..... Well I suppose thats all for now!
