I had initially planned on staying there for another year or two while the business took off, but Kevin (the warehouse manager) won&#8217;t let me go part time!  WTF?!?!  I mean, I can <i>kinda<\/i> understand his reasons, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I have to like it.  Rachel tried to give me solutions, but none of them really worked.  Besides, I&#8217;ve been really sucking at work.  I&#8217;ve been lazy as all hell, and even if I don&#8217;t want to do a job, I should really try my best.  So I figured I should quit now so they have time to train someone for Chistmas.  I&#8217;ve toyed around with the idea of working during the holidays.  Make some extra cash.  It was a REALLY hard decision to come to because I LOVE the people I work with.  I&#8217;m going to have to make trips up there at least once a week to see my peeps.  I feel guilty leaving my friends (and I do honestly consider them my friends), but I know that if I want this business to succeed, I HAVE to put 100% into it.  Balls to the wall, as I&#8217;d like to say. \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\nOn a business note, things are going good.  I work for STLDigital making sports posters and wedding albums, and I had a meeting tonight with another photographer to make wedding albums.  This is all in addition to the website, which I have FINALLY started working on.  I&#8217;m stressed and not sleeping much, but it&#8217;s nothing like the stress that I was feeling pre-lexapro.  This is something that is normal and healthy.  I&#8217;m not having the constant headaches and feeling like I&#8217;m about to explode, which is good, I guess.  \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nOther updates:<br \/>\n-I fell off the wagon on the caffeine.  Honestly though, it&#8217;s the only thing keeping me up in the morning.  I said I was going to quit after Mother&#8217;s Day, but I think I will after my last day at work.<br \/>\n-Matt is almost finished with the half wall upstairs.  He did the first coat of paint today.  Now we need to get a board to put on top.<br \/>\n-Finally got an office area set up with my computers.  Trying to work on my Powerbook is not such a good idea.<br \/>\n-Found out that I will be an aunt to a nephew!  Rodney and Christine can have a boy; Matt better give me a little girl (when the time comes of course.  No babies any time soon, thank you.).<br \/>\n-Still making creepy pictures.  I really need to post them<br \/>\n-Saw Over the Hedge this weekend with Matt, Don, and Mallen.  Took a ride in the Nissan Z (thank you Don) with the top down.  Hit 115mph on Hwy 40.  Good times.  \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n-Found out that I will be taken off Lexapro starting September: w00t!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I&#8217;ve finally put in my two weeks at Costco.
