Gurl Put in Work

So, it has been about 6 and a half months since I started my new part time. Though my schedule has changed a bit dramatically, I am pretty happy that I stuck it through this long! Yippu! Some of ya'll are probably thinking, like... "That's an accomplishment?" hahaha

I was laid off in about 2011 from a different part time. I only lasted for about a few months. It was my first official job while being on break from college and not affiliated with a summer school program. It was incredibly stressful in that industry as a coffee girl. People who aren't hyped up on their caffeine yet, giving you a damned hard time. Pair that with little assistance from co workers doesn't keep things running smoothly. Ya know, teamwork makes the job work. But I learned a lot though, and seeing donuts that aren't lined up correctly bugs me til this day.
How you want yo coffee?
Another place years later just wasn't working for me. Unfortunately, they wanted me to be there everyday after I left school, which meant me spending money I didn't really have to be there, and also me using up days to be doing art or networking for my true passion. There were a lot of other problems too other than just work ones and I rather not bitch too much about. lol But.... I got to learn an ipad program.... yippu?

I've been trying to find a place that would let me be there and grow in my own way ( I think I kinda found one for the time being), but, I guess a lot of places want you to be on it like 0 to 100 from the get go, and a lot of places I applied to was more like a gamble than anything! It was more like a "Why not?" as I sent in applications. Not to mention trying to gain experience in places where your school conflicts with their schedule and what not.
My uniform isn't as cute as my coffee girl apron tho
 Even though I'd rather be behind a computer or a phone, I have shaken off a lot of the jitters when it comes to talking and approaching people, and it feels good to accomplish some goals too. My supervisor has been pretty cool, and so have the lot of my new coworkers. I am still learning and nothing is perfect, but I try my best. Some days start off better than others, some days have more accomplishments than others.


Since a grocery store chain has been competing with a relatively new one, we have been doing some pretty cool stuff every now and again, like slot machines! The customers seemed to like it!

I have been trying to take on a second job, more so in my career path to keep my creative energies alive.

Breaking up!

Some break ups can be hard to handle. All the time spent with someone... just to have it slowly fade.Wanting things to work out and trying to express your wants and needs... but its not really happening. Ah... feels not so good, does it?

But, what if that break up is for yourself? For you to be happy?
Well... I am going to break up with Sprint.
:p
 I have been with them for about 7 or maybe 8 years.
They just aren't cutting it for me with high prices when my budget is already tight.

I will admit, their customer service has gotten better over the years, but its just not feasible at the moment. I am looking forward to a new phone and have been looking at a few new companies. Its been a couple of years that I wanted to make a switch over, but thought , 'Nah.. maybe another two years.' Then it drags out longer.

I get kinda iffy and stall with things like this. Maybe it will be a Christmas gift to myself or something, lol! I'd prolly have all the details and what phone I want by then. I will most likely stay with Android phones.
Not that much into iPhones, even though they get some cool apps at times.

Circle Lens Review!

Geo Nudy Grey Review


 Click for the Video version!


So, over the years, Geo Nudy lens have been my fave! I am not sure why I gravitated to that particular style. It has a very soft look to them and a halo effect when you shift your gaze over. I was new to coloured contact lens when I purchased my first pair in like '09. I didn't want to get brown or black because that was too normal, and I was a little too shy to purchase a really in your face colour! So I chose grey!

I also am very picky when it comes to circle lens selection if I don't have something in mind right away. Though I have tried some various other colours, I really like grey lens and Nudy Grey style the most for non "normal" days.

I stopped purchasing from my original lens carrier and decided to go with Maples Lens thanks to Pepa's suggestion. 
The lens are named Geo Super Nudy grey, priced at 18.90$USD, not including shipping.

Specs:
Diameter : 14.8mm
Water Content : 42%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal



They arrived pretty damned fast! About, 2 days after purchasing! WOWZERS. Most people, including yours truly, get lens about a week or two after purchasing and I've heard horror stories of people not getting their lens after like a month or so! Not having a long waiting time to get your coveted lens is a big plus for me!

I thought that these would be bigger than my older Nudy Lens, but appeared a tad smaller for whatever reason while in the animal soaking case.

The limbal ring is a lot darker than the other Nudy Lens type. I think this helps enhance the halo effect.

The top one is the Super Nudy, the bottom just Nudy. The Super Nudy has a smaller inner circle unfilled by colour than its counter part.

Regular Nudy on the left has a lighter and fainter edge and colour than the Super Nudy on the right.

I think I will keep Maples Lens bookmarked from now on. Their shipping was awesome and very unexpected.

Colour: 4/5  
Comfort: 4.5/5 
Design: 3.5/5 ( I like the pixelated design compared to some other circle lens lovers) It doesn't show up that much when you aren't super close to someone and it isn't that bright.
I think Super Nudy will be one of my on hand lenses. Love them so much!
