It's a shame that Miley felt the need to include drugs in her music and dress in a provocative manner because she's quite talented and could have remained popular without needing to resort to such drastic measures for attention. Too quick to shed that squeaky clean image instead of making a smooth, gradual transition to more adult music.
We're seeing them right after Christmas.
First to admit that I'm not a music fan, but would I be correct in saying that Taylor Swift has transitioned much more smoothly and subtly?
Yes. She gradually transitioned from album to album. And she's managed to do it tastefully and without a lot of controversy. She also doesn't seek out the attention, but rather lets her work speak for itself.
Other than our regularly scheduled days off, we were all definitely blacked out during the Holidays at TDS. Not a single day off would be considered. Of course, you could just take your chances and call in sick. Even as a Lead Manager, I was considered a regular, part time CM, and, therefore, not entitled to any paid days off. Only the ASM and SM were. Our SM usually got the schedule out 2 weeks in advance, but, sometimes it was bordering on a week.
We did hire 3-4 seasonal CMs every year to help, and some even ended up gettin' hired for regular, after the Holidays.
Again, I'm not complainin', per se, I knew what I was signin' up for.
But, the absurdity of it all just seemed to progress so quickly over those years.
I know I've posted this before, but, one day during the season, I worked a clocked 18.75+ hours between 2 jobs, and, literally (and, I REALLY DO mean LITERALLY), only sat down for 5 mins. to shove down a sandwich, between them.
And, I was 49 at the time.
Also, as I've stated many times before, if nothin' else, it was a one heckuva' learnin' experience...!!!
Windy here today too. Not up to 40 mph, but still very windy. My school is up on a hill, so that made it even worse. My car door opened all the way with no effort from me, and my trunk shut itself. Then I took a walk because it was so nice and sunny. And I don't mind the wind as long as it's not cold. My hair kept blowing in my face and sticking to my lip gloss. Had to go in and brush it before class started, and I looked like I do after Test Track. Our yard is also a mess with tree branches

100% commission. Some years I starve.When I was workin' 3 jobs, I went more than 3 months without a full day off, a few times. Plus, other than weekends off, bein' back with the firm and all, I work ALL YEAR LONG, and we haven't been on a vacation since our June of 2013 WDW trip.
OK, your turn...
