I've been contemplating DIY for a while now and this thread just solidified it. I'm gonna do it. I wanna look at the world through crazier eyes like all y'all


Oddly enough, it's like being a baker... The masses think the dough rises because it's magic, but us bakers know it's just because it's a reaction between the yeast and sugars. The ones who don't know, think it's evil magic, and want to ban/regulate it.

Sending bill in, check. Putting moar stuffs on wish list, check.

I need to be home with the children!

Sometimes I think I have five children... Sigelli, Nemesis, Neal the third, Caravella and and cloupor... Sigeli is my reliable one, Nemesis is very complicated, Neal 3 is too silly, Nemesis has some bad legs right now, and Cloupor is a hothead. :)... Oh, sh.. I need to do a deep clean on Sigeli, and Neal needs a bath. :)

Sheesh......
I drop $30 at capellas and pout for a week.
Of course, that money comes from my job.
That makes me tired.
And wakes me up.
And makes me play nice with other kids.
(Seriously, never be the "boss" no good ever came from it. Want a minimal raise and 40% more work and 200% responsibility? Yeah. ...
I want a da## De motion)
And kiss the clients pooter.
and. ... shower? OK I like that.
Sorry. I'll stop.
stupid bunnies.

That is why I don't buy at brick and mortar stores as much as I want...

I am a baker. I don't work full time, I am the closer. I get a decent ammount of hours, and I am capped out on the pay grade. To step up to a manager's position means 50 hrs a week, still do the same thing, and get 1/2 pay for hours over 50, and have to work 10 hrs a day starting at 5am. Customer is always right, no matter how wrong they are, and it all gets political. Can't befriend anyone, since that would be called "conflict of interest", and get transferred at a moments notice up to a 2 hr drive away. No thanks.. I have children.

Current manager wakes up at 3am, and works until 4-5 pm, then probably gets home around 6pm. Last manager had children.. and I could see the stress on her face. She was constantly in a bad mood, and at first I didn't like her, but when I realized what she was going through, it all came clear. Luckily for her sake, she left.

What does that have to do with vaping?

Current manager tried vaping, but she never had the time to visit a vape shop.. she's back to smoking.

So I have to wonder, is it worth the extra effort?
Sure, pride and integrity count for a lot.
Any owner or manager would love to promote an employee who displayed a good work ethic who proved honest right?
So we take the extra work because we do care and over the course of time we are shown time and again that while it sure is appreciated, that's all it is.

Ahem! Sorry.
It would be nice of we all had great paying jobs we loved.
That certainly is not realistic though.

And what does any of have to do with vaping?
Not much really.
But I enjoy my vape it keeps me from smoking.
And my family and dogs and small pleasures make it all worth while.

(Eh...... I'm gonna try to get this made into a hallmark movie. It'll star ben stiller and fail miserably. Ah, dreams! )
