My first day of work was good to anyone that cares to know. I was there for about 9 hours(one hour lunch break.) I had to watch videos for the first half of the day and I trained in printing for the second half of the day. I met a lot of really nice people they all seem friendly. Everyone wished me well.
I’m still trying to learn names though. I don’t know how much I’m being paid yet. Since we didn’t do any paper work.
I have to be in at one tomorrow.

- Two Emotion sets
- Textures page and 5 textures
- Tutorials
- Layout page with one layout
- Old 100by100 avatars of mine that I still love.
- A few 50by50 avatars.
- Backgrounds have been added I can’t remember how many but they are from my old site.
I think thats about it for right now. Oh and a click counter for me to keep track of clicks and stuff.
I have some tutorials already made on my dA account that I’d like to transfer over to Candy Store but I don’t wally want to deal with the retyping them. And they really aren’t great anyways. I’m still thinking about if I’ll add them here or not.
In other news I start work on Monday. Its my first day and I hope it goes well. I really don’t want to be stuck at a horrible job for the next few months while I get some experience in. Will see what happens.

Last night I split up the categories for the visitors page in to separate pages so as the site grows that one page won’t get over crowed. I also renamed it goodies because of the tutorials page. I added about 5 tutorials on coding and I plan to do more soon. Image rollovers, tables, classes and divs etc. I also made some 100 by 100 avatars and added 2 emotion sets.
There are still a lot of things I want to add this weekend though.
- A few more coding tutorials.
- Photoshop tutorials.
- 2 more emotion sets
- Premade layouts
- More 50 by 50 pixel avatars
- More 100by100 avatars
- Layout images
- Site Buttons
- Textures
Yea it looks like a lot but :3 its something to keep me busy. I’m also trying to get affiliates but we’ll see if that happens any time soon.
In other news I’m going to the mall this evening with some friends. Well we aren’t sure yet we my just hang out with each other at Jess’s house. I haven’t seen Amanda in ages so I’m happy that we’ll get to see each other.
LMAO maybe I can talk them in to going bowling.

This week didn’t start out the best. My mom and I tired to get a car but they couldn’t get the payments down to where she was comfy making them. I cried about it cause I was looking forward to this car and something good FINELY happening in my life. But it didn’t so we got on with it.
A day or so later I called the Staples I had applied for about a weeks ago to see if I had gotten the job (they just weren’t going fast enough for me!) To my surprise I got the JOB! I got the job and I’m so happy. Its my first job ever and its at a place I wanted to work. The reason they hadn’t called me is because the manager that I interviewed with was no longer with the company, it was also their inventory week. They didn’t need a new person holding them up. I start Monday :3
The next day we called our car insurance company to see if we could get a car loan through them, after that I went to try for my drivers license. I was so worried I wouldn’t get it and was really nerves. The DMV Lady was really nice and made me feel better when I drove around the block. She told me half way through I had my license. I was so happy! But it was 32 freaken dollars. I had 31 and 75 cents. The DMV Lady had to give me 25 cents so I could get my license. I was lucky I got a nice one.
I got my license I found out we didn’t get the loan. Which made me sad but I understood why they didn’t give it to us. They were worried about the payments. I still wanted to look around for something cheaper and used. We found a great place with cheap cars that were well kept. Well guess what? The car we tired to get a week before remember that? Well the car sells men had applied to EVERY bank in my city. Which screwed us over looking at these cars. We couldn’t get it because of the other applications the car sells men had filed. UGh I was pissed. We would have gotten it if they hadn’t done that. I wish they would have told us.
I got upset again and cried but later that night… We got a call and they found a bank that would finance us for a 1500 dollar down payment which is great! It’ll only take me a month or so (with those up coming tax rebates) to get myself a car.
Its had its ups and downs but its been a good week.
