Piercings Update

In a comment, Hawkeye had asked me how I feel about my piercings, now that they are almost fully healed.

Well, lets start with the VCH piercing shall we, as that is fully healed and has been for some time. I do have to say that it is a lot of fun. It makes me more sensitive. Not like "Oh my gods don't touch me!" sensitive.. it just adds a bit of oomph to it I guess. Sometimes it gets a little sore if it is rubbed frequently, and roughly for an extended period of time, depending on our position(s) during sex. But it's really no different then my clit getting sore due to the same things. So I can't really think of a down side to this piercing. I love it. I'm not really sure what other kind of jewelry I'd want to put there besides the banana barbell. I do not want a hoop there. I'd be to afraid of it getting caught on something.

So while it was an idea that pretty much came out of the blue, I'm very glad that Master allowed me to get it. It's easy to care for, and I love the look of it, not to mention the extra sensations I receive because of it.

On to the nipple piercings..

I've had both of my nipples pierced before. But the piercer had used inferior jewelry and had pierced them to high on my nipple, so my body had started to reject them.

These aren't really new to me, in that aspect. But I do love that they make my nipples more sensitive. My nipples have always been pretty sensitive, so the added sensations from the piercings can be a bit much from time to time. This has more to do with temperature then anything else. For instance, at work we had the central air on pretty high one day, and of course, when a girl gets cold her nipples get hard. Well it seemed like the cold went into the jewelry and sort of radiated through my nipple and breast that way. It was a very odd sensation, and hurt a little bit. I'll have to remember that for the winter months. But then again the nipple piercings are not fully healed. They are healed enough to not cause me any problems, but it will be a while before they have "toughened up" so to speak.

The only down side really to the nipple piercings is that when I wear a mesh outfit, they sometimes get stuck in the holes of the outfit. That part sucks, because when I'm trying to take it off, or move it, it will snag and hurt. It doesn't hurt a lot, but enough to get my attention. Not to mention the fact the thought of ripping out the piercings scares the hell out of me. *OWIE!* So I am more careful when it comes to things like that.

Master had mentioned the other day that He sometimes misses my eyebrow piercing. I was honestly surprised by that because when we were first dating He didn't like it. Apparently it grew on Him. I had to take it out because of a job I got and instead of putting it in when I wasn't at work, I just left it out and it has healed over.

He asked me if I am allowed to have facial piercings at my current job. I said I wasn't sure because while I have seen some girls with nose piercings, and even a few lip piercings, they either have very small delicate jewelry in them or they have the clear jewelry in.

I'm not sure who to ask at my job, without getting a really weird look. I wouldn't mind having my eyebrow pierced again. It would be my left eyebrow, like the last time... at least that is the one I would like to have done. I really did love that piercing. If they do allow it I wonder if Master would like me to get it done again, once we have the money to do so.

I think part of my current obsession with the piercings is due to the fact that I can't afford the tattoos I want currently. So the piercings are like a quick fix to my body modification addiction. Not that I don't enjoy the piercings, because I do... but I favor tattoos over piercings. If you gave me the decision between the two, getting a tattoo would win hands down.

Remakes

Today we kept pretty busy. We went into our storage unit in the basement and dug around down there. Master was originally looking for three paint ball guns that He had down there, but we didn't find them. Then again a few years ago it looked like someone had broken into our storage unit, so maybe that's what they stole. *shrugs* Hard to tell. It's mainly a lot of empty boxes down there anyway.

We did find a huge box of porno on VHS. We don't own a VCR anymore, so we took those to a local porn shop and sold them. We didn't get a lot for them, but we used the money to go to the movies. We saw Halloween 2.

Hence the blog post title.

When I was a teenager I had seen every Halloween movie, excluding the third one because it had nothing to do with Michael Myers.

Anyway, due to my knowing what the original series was about, it is sometimes hard for me to let go of those "facts" when I watch the remakes. But really, the movie wasn't bad. Some of it didn't make a lot of sense to me, but hey.... that's Rob Zombie for you. You know.. the guy who sings about educated horses. Yeah. That guy.

After the movie, we came home and I talked to my mom for a little bit. My brother is going through a rough time right now. He lost his job and so his girlfriend is riding his ass, and lording it over his head that she is now the sole bread winner. So she does whatever the hell she wants and leaves him at home with their two young children, my nephews, all the time. Now where as yes, he is the father, everyone needs a break from time to time. But she comes home and basically ignores him and tells him to take care of the kids while she relaxes.

I feel for him. My brother is 24 years old, but due to some problems with his birth, he has never been at the mental capacity of his age. He's a nice guy, really he is, but it's just the facts of what life has dealt him. So my mom was telling me about that, and some things about my aunt, and then my grandfather... geeze. It seems like everyone in my family is going through rough financial times.

Really I shouldn't be surprised. For some reason that's how it always has been. Everyone in my family is going through financial stress in one form or another.

My brother lost his job. My dad is the only one working in his household. His girlfriend doesn't, and neither do her two adult children. My mother and her husband are unemployed. My grandfather is on a fixed income, and has been very ill lately. My uncle got his hours cut at work. My aunt just had her adult son move back home because he dropped out of college.

*sigh*

We're all just trying to get by.

Oh, and another thing that had been bothering me.

Yesterday, at work, my coworker noticed that I seemed a bit stressed. I told her that Master's unemployment had been denied. So she told me that god was testing me.

This was one of those... last straw type situations. I sit right next to her at work. She is a very religious woman. And no, that doesn't bother me. Until she starts saying shit like that.

Her and I had this talk shortly after I started working there. She had handed me a bible and told me to read a favorite passage of hers. I handed the book back to her and said, "No thank you." She asked me why. I told her that I am not a christian. That is not my path.

Well, since that time she has been saying little things like this to me, almost every day. "God is testing you."

"Seek God."

"Have a blessed day."

So yesterday I looked at her and I said, "Listen, I don't mind that you are very spiritual. I can respect that. But if you tell me to seek god one more time I'm going to our supervisor. Talking about religion in the work place is not appropriate, and I don't appreciate it. I have my faith, you have yours. Let's leave it that, shall we?"

She gave me this look like, "You wouldn't!"

I just shook my head and went back to my work. I have no problem going to our supervisor about this. I've told her repeatedly that it makes me uncomfortable. So it's not like I haven't tried to handle it myself.

Sometimes I just want to shake her and go, "I'm not going to wait for some invisible man to take care of my life, I have to do this myself!"

And that's exactly how I feel. I have faith, it's just not the kind she talks about. I don't think there is this being that is going to answer all of my prayers. I don't believe that if I just sit back and wait, that all I want and/or need is going to be provided.

It's like that old saying, "You can't help those who won't help themselves."

You have to do this. Not someone else.

I pray, I meditate,  and I seek guidance. But I don't expect things to be handed to me. I pray, I meditate, and I seek guidance so that I can make better decisions or perhaps be pointed in the right direction. But I don't pray and then sit back and wait. Action is required on my part, and I know this.

Yay! Down Time!

Work went pretty well today, although it dragged ass. Master received a decision in the mail today regarding His unemployment. He was denied because although He quit due to concerns with the equipment.. they claim He did not give them adequate time for the employer to correct the problems. Mother fuckers... there shouldn't be a need to give employers time to fix equipment that's been down hill for however fucking long. They should be keeping on top of it! So we are going to file an appeal on their decision. I had a small feeling this would happen. I have a feeling His former employer acted like all their shit is up to par.. and this was a freak accident. Um, no. Wrong!

*deep breath*

Master picked me up from work. We had dinner and then went to a bar that we like, and is cheap. We each had two drinks and then came back home. I immediatley took my bath and put on some lingerie. Now we're just kind of trying to unwind.

We might be going to see Halloween 2 (the remake) tomorrow. I'm undecided about it. I've seen all of the original Halloween movies, except for 3 because that had nothing to do with the rest of the series, and ... wow... Rob Zombie really fucked it up. But in an odd way, it's also entertaining (unlike his other movies).

But seriously... can that man stop putting his bitch in all of his movies?! Damnit, if the woman can't have an acting career without you.. there is a fucking reason! Gah!

Mini rant over.

My left ankle is really bothering me tonight for some reason. I think I may have twisted it or something. It doesn't look swollen, but man is it sore.

I'm going to have to get up at 5:30am on Monday, so BC can get to his job on time. Oh well, I'll be tired.. but it'll be overtime at least. Also, I'm hoping to be able to stay late next Friday as well. We could use the money. I'll probably stay only an hour or two late.. but it's something.

Ugh. Okay now the pain in my ankle is starting to shoot up my leg. Ow. This sucks.

I don't have a lot to say tonight. I'm hoping to get some lengthy posts done this weekend that I just haven't had the energy to do this week. Not to mention I've been tired all fucking week. I think it may be weather related. It's been rainy most of the week. Normally that energizes me, but when it is off and on, or feels like is going to rain or storm and then doesn't.. it plays hell with my joints and energy levels.

So I think I'll go stretch out my leg and read or watch Master play His game.

My Caveman

That is what I call Master, from time to time. Actually.. I call Him that quite a bit. He doesn't mind it. I almost wonder if He enjoys that nickname. Last night after I was done online, and had read a book for a little while I curled up on my slave mat and was watching Master play a video game.

At some point in time I apparently passed out. The next thing I remember is Master gently lifting me from my slave mat and me clutching at my pillow to bring it with me while also trying to wrap my arms around Him. He carried me to the bedroom, slowly lowered me onto the bed and told me to get comfortable. Shortly there after He also climbed into bed and curled up tight to me. It was so sweet of Him. I was telling one of my coworkers about it this morning and she said, "Aw, that's so romantic." And I just smiled and said, "That's my Caveman." She gave me a weird look and I said, "If you knew my Husband, it would make sense. Trust me."

She then complained about how her husband would never do that. He would just leave her on the couch sleeping. *shrugs* I just told her it's easy for Master to do because He's a foot and three inches taller then I am. *giggles*

Work went well today. We had a meeting and we are implementing a few new procedures that are slowing down my production for a little while. But once I get used to the new procedures I'll be flying through my work as usual.

Master picked me up from work, and we made a quick stop at the grocery store and then had brats for dinner. Yummy!

Oh! And before I forget, Master is looking for a little help over on His blog... check it out.. and if you have any info please comment on His post!

So far tonight, we've watched two episodes of America's Got Talent and Master has played some video games. That's been about it. A headache is starting to creep it's way into my left temple. *sigh* Thanks to the weather being all over the damn place, I've been having a lot of headaches and my shoulders and lower back are reacting to the rain and pressure fronts. I'm looking forward to the weekend. We don't have anything planned, but I just need a couple of days to relax and unwind with my mate.

Due to my headache, I think I'm going to cut this short before I make it worse.

My Review.. Finally

My review was at 9:30am. My supervisor said that he is very pleased with my work, that I am extremely accurate and my productivity is very high for someone who has never done data entry before. He was very pleased with my performance overall as well. He said, "I hope you really like your job here, because I'm hoping you want to stick around for quite some time."

That is the highest compliments I have ever received for a review at any of my jobs. Rock on! I also got a $0.35 per hour raise. Yay! I called Master shortly after it was done and He said congrats.

Today my job had rented out a deck for the Brewers game. Master and I went. I don't like sports, but I thought maybe the game would be more interesting in person. I was wrong. Master and I were pretty bored. So by the beginning of the 3rd inning, we went home.

I already took my shower, and have on some lingerie. It's only 9pm.

I'm glad that we left when we did. If we would have stayed for the whole game I probably would be a lot more sore than I am now, not to mention tired. Two more days, and then it is the weekend.

I'm getting five vacation days at the end of next month, since that will me my 6 month mark. So I scheduled to have off a day in October as a "reward" to myself. I'm half tempted to schedule off two in a row, but I want to strech the vacation days out. I'll get another five days at my one year mark. But then that's it until my 2 year anniversary. I'll have to talk to Master about it and see what He thinks.

Excited & Nervous

Well today when I got to work I was hoping to see an e-mail telling me when my review was going to happen. I'm the last person, out of the people waiting for one, to receive it. As it turned out, again there was no e-mail.

I went through the work day hoping that I would get it.

My supervisor had come over by my cubicle to see if he could steal any of my work because another member of our department had run out. While he was there, I asked him if he had any news regarding my review.

I figured he was already there, so why not ask. He told me he had received an e-mail from HR saying that all of their paperwork was now finalized and we could proceed. He said that he was hoping to get it done this afternoon, but he had a meeting with our business manager regarding our move so he would get back to me.

Well once 3pm rolled around I had a pretty good feeling that my review wasn't happening today, since I get out at a little after 4:30pm. And I was right. However, I did receive an e-mail from my supervisor saying that my review is in the HR office tomorrow at 9:30am! Yay! Finally, no more waiting.

I know I've been going a little batshit from this whole review thing. My 90 days were up in June. It's now the end of August. So yes, I was a little anxious. Plus I don't mind waiting for something, as long as I know when it is going to happen. This whole not knowing when thing is what was really driving me nuts. But now I know, and tomorrow it'll all be done with.

I'll find out what my supervisor thinks of my work so far, what I need to improve on, what my coworkers had to say about me, and most importantly.... how much my raise is. *grins*

I'm sure you'll all very happy that I'll finally know as of tomorrow morning. I have a feeling my readers are sick of hearing about it. I'm sorry.

Master picked me up from work and we had dinner while He showed me His new video game, Arkham Asylum. He seems very pleased with it and it seems to be helping with His restlessness.

He was also kind enough to wash the bedding and change it out. Unfortunately He hurt His knee while going down to the basement, where the washer and dryer is. The steps to the basement are a bit uneven and His knee gave out and in doing so, caused His other knee to knock into the wall. Poor Master. :-(

Other then that not a lot is going on. My coworker, the one who took all those days off last week, has taken tomorrow off as well. *sighs* But oh well. Nothing can dampen my mood. I get my review tomorrow!

Slightly Disappointed

When Master and I went to bed last night, it was around midnight. He couldn't sleep and so stayed up until about 4am. I tried to sleep and thought about curling up with one of my teddy bears or tigers, but decided against it for some reason.

I guess I should have. Without Master to curl up to, or a stuffed animal, I was rather restless in my sleep. Regardless I got up when my alarm went off this morning and got ready for work.

Going by what my supervisor had told me last Friday, stating that I would probably have my review on Monday, I picked one of my nicer work outfits. I don't know why. Probably because I'd be under the scrutiny of my supervisor and the head of HR I guess. *shrugs*

BC picked me up and took me to work. He wasn't very talkative this morning, but he did remind me that he has to pick me up at a quarter to 6am next Monday. Blah.

I was hoping to log into my computer at work and find an e-mail waiting for me telling me when my review was. No such luck. No such e-mail showed up the whole day. So I was a bit disappointed. I decided against calling my supervisor to see where the progress was. There is a thin line between being a good employee who is checking up on the status of things, and an annoying employee who won't leave the supervisor alone. I had just talked to him about it on Friday, and he assured me he was only waiting on paperwork to go through HR. So I let it be.

Master picked me up from work and we went home, ate dinner, and I washed the bathroom towels. Master had done His own laundry and gone through some of His clothes, tossing out what doesn't fit anymore while I was at work.

While the towels were in the dryer Master had me go into the bedroom and sort through my clothes. I tossed out about two bags worth of clothing that either no longer fits, I don't wear anymore, or was worn out. Once all that was done we watched a movie, Fortress 2.

After the movie I took my bath and put on an outfit so I would look nice for Master. He is having me wear my glasses at home now. For a while He was letting me get away with just wearing them at work. Now, if I'm on the computer or reading a book at home, He wants me to have them on. So I leave one pair at work, and one pair at home.

Tomorrow I have to wash our bedding. I'm also hoping to have good news regarding my review. I've been at my job for 5 months now, as of this past Sunday. And, unlike my past jobs where I grew tired of them after my 90 days... I'm still enjoying my work. Yes, sometimes it is stressful due to the work load, but I love it there. And yes, I'm a little disappointed at not receiving my review yet, but there isn't much I can do about it. Small bumps in what I hope to be a long career.

I'm getting to a point in my life where I want to settle down at my job. I am sick of job hopping. The longest job I've had so far, is for two years. It was a shit job. I hated it. But I needed something, so I stayed.

From there I've mainly had jobs that I kept for about three to four months before finding something better and moving on. My last job, prior to my current one, I stayed for a year and a half. But I just couldn't take it anymore. Then it was like something spoke to me and said, "It is time to move on." And that is how I found my current job. A job that I am content at.

I think that biggest difference between my current job and all of my past ones is that all of my former jobs were customer service based on one level or another. At this one, I only have to do my job, and deal with my coworkers. And I'm loving it. I'm damn good at customer service, and I know this. But it is just not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Data entry, on the other hand, is something I am also very good at, and can easily see myself doing for a long time to come.
