So life is equally awesome and so much suck-iness at the same time. Lets start with the bad news, first off, my job sucks. I'm working at this credit union in north dakota and currently I do two different jobs. One I'm absolutely horrible at, the one I was originally hired for. Well over the past two months I've noticed and my boss has noticed that I'm not very good at it. So I switched departments to teller. Part time teller, which is perfect I can go back to school, take better care of my house and living areas. My soon to be furry children (dog and cat) and its a much better position for me. Well that was the decision we'd come to almost a month and half ago. My boss has been complaining that I've not been doing my first job as well as I should be doing. I'm suppose to be part time teller. I'm putting in overtime on a full time schedule, now don't get me wrong. I'm loving the paychecks (nearly 1000 some of them) but thats not the end of it. I'm getting in trouble for the over time I'm putting in. So luckily another part time teller was hired she does the morning shift. Which takes me off opening duty. But I'm still closing. Which is fine, I don't mind one one comes in during that last hour I get a lot of busy work done during that time. Either way, I'm getting in trouble because I am switching jobs and trying to do both jobs out of kindness of my heart. And while I'm not telling you all the details. I'm getting pissed that they aren't taking into account (no pun intended) that I am volunteering to do both jobs. I could have, I should have said that I'm switching good luck finding someone to take my place. I'm pissed about it and really I'm getting pretty beat up about this. Mostly my self. I can't do this job my coworker knows that I can't, my boss knows that I can't. Its not fair to me its really not fair to them because I keep messing up. Not because I'm trying to mess up, its because I'm being pulled all over the place. Anyway I've put my "two weeks" in for the one job and my July 2nd I should be part time and ready to start seriously focusing on my photography.


Now that the stupid "high school drama" is out of the way I have FANTASTIC news. Anyway My puppy was born on Cinco de mayo! Woo hoo! I'm excited about it, and in three weeks I'm going to pick him up I can not wait to get my baby!!!! Be prepared for a HUGE INCREASE IN PHOTOS puppy photos. Second bit of news, I'm first on the list for a house on base!!!! I will be getting a house! I'm so excited for it! Any day now that call is gunna happen and I'm going to start moving ASAP and painting. I'm painting that house all up! I'm so excited. Three, i'm dropping down to part time in my job! I'm excited that will give me so much free time in the morning to a) sleep b) work on my degree. I'm going to say this I'm not leaving photography, I will always love photography. But I'm looking to major, duel major, in ceramics and sculpture from Minot State University. I've got this plan to get a degree in almost three years. I don't know if I can do it but I'm going to try I'll still do photography but I'm looking to branching to even more hands on stuff. I'm thinking about painting but thats pretty flat for me. I'm looking to make my own works of art. It might be because I'm a little sparse on the decorations in my house at the moment but I think I finally don't know what I want in life. I've always been so animate about photography that I finally started to get into it and I realized that I don't know what I want to do with my life. And while this would freak most people out I'm excited about this. It means that I can experiment and figure out my real passions. And who knows maybe I'm really freaking good at using a wheel in ceramics. Or maybe Photography is where I belong and I'm just having and identity crisis.

So this won't just be about hair it will cover a lot of things. But first my hair

WHY WON'T YOU EITHER GROW REALLY FREAKING FAST AND BE LONG AGAIN OR WHY WONT YOU STAY SHORT!!?? DO YOU ENJOY GIVING ME A MULLET!!!??? seriously though, I can't afford bi-monthy hair cuts to keep it pixie short -.-' I can say though with out a doubt though, I will be going blonde again I'm going to regret the splurge but I'm going to get my hair professionally dyed back to a some what natural blonde. I'd do it my self and save my arms and legs but its like red brown right now and well I'm not looking forward to bleaching to get the blonde I want. So there is that.

On another note, I couldn't wait (i have no patience at all when it comes to these things) and I ordered over 300$ dollars with of stuff for my dog an cat (that mind you, don't exists yet) and thats just the basics!!!! holy guacamole people. At least I decided that I needed a pet fund, and thank god I did, other wise I'd have never had the money for all of that. there is still some stuff I need to get though, but for some reason Petco won't let me buy it because my credit union doesn't have the right address in the system which is weird. So I will fix that tomorrow at work (I work at said credit union) Just a few training supplies left and I should be good to go yayayayayayayyaayayayay.
I'm getting a corgi, his name shall be Sherlock and there shall be many many pictures, but I'm trying to come up with a Sherlock Holmes theme trick. I NEED YOUR HELP!!! What should I do? and how shall it be a trick? I'm thinking of 221b in stead of crate/kennel I'd do come along Watson but its name is Sherlock so that doesn't really work. HELP ME OUT PEOPLE!

My car broke, as in the drive shaft came loose and disconnected it self from the back axel. At least thats what I think my husband is saying. So woo! Thank goodness he is on day shift now (we both work on base so this makes it easier for us )

I keep forgetting to update my life to you all!

ANYWAY GOOD NEWS ALL AROUND!!!!!!!

First item on the list, NEW PHOTOS!!!
Yayayyayaya, lots of nature shots and a couple odd ones in there but I still think the look awesome Hope you enjoy. They are from Lake Metigoshe in North Dakota and I probably didn't spell that right but honestly I don't care.I should but I don't, so grammar/speling nazis out there, bugger off.

Second Item on the list!!!
I'm going back to school! Its not the academy, but its better than nothing and I've been told its actually a pretty good school. So I'm going to try and get a BFA in art specializing in Photography and eventually working my way to an MFA in photography from the Academy! So I will come back to you AAU, it just won't be any time soon.

Item number three, I have no hair.
Well I do, its just supper short! I'm so excited, I cut it really short a while ago and it grew out and I tried to cut it myself and I messed it up so I went and got it done right and now it looks good its also a deep auburn color now yay.

Item number four! I'm blind
So not only do I have astigmatism I have near sighted ness in one eye. I think the doc said the right eye, which is bad because that the Eye I focus with :S oh well, when I get my glasses maybe I won't have to sharpen my images in Lightroom anymore! woo!

Hope you enjoyed, the new images, and life updates! Be sure to comment on images, (i'm open to criticisms other than grammar/spelling. Because those don't make my images better)

I also have a flickr account, for those of you who don't know. I have never taken enough images to go over my monthly limit. Partically because I'm lazy and I kinda forget I have that account. Well anyway, today I found out that if I'm on top of things, I can max that thing out in a few minutes. -.-' so if you seem to notice that I didn't upload all my images to flickr its because I hit my limit for this month, and I'm probably not going to remember to upload them next month so. yayaya!

If you guys have a few minutes (and I'm sure facebook will love you!!) copy and paste the url for my profile to your facebook wall! I know this is shameful self promotion but I could really use the help getting the Kirby family name out there. My flickr too, although they will both have the same thing on them. Thanks a million!
