Graduation

Last Wednesday my youngest Ashley graduated from Rogers beauty school.  She got a job on Friday at Borics salon.  My parents and my sister and brother-in-law came down for the day also.

This is the cake I made for her.  It didn't survive the trip over to the school.  It was hot and the air does not work in my car.  The icing started to melt and the borders started to roll.  She said she wanted lots of pink so that's what she got.

Frustration at work is getting worst.  I received my hours and sales projections for the next quarter.  They took 32 hours a week away from my dept.  Of course they are still expecting the sales to be just as high or higher.  I am becoming more and more stressed.  Then I found out that a deli/bakery manager from another store had put her notice in and was taking another job.  They gave her a dollar an hour raise to keep her from leaving.  She is making the same as me now.  She hasn't been with the company even two yrs.  Ive been there for 14 and haven't received a raise in over 5 yrs.  I was told that Houchins thought we were making too much already.  I am mad.  I know that she could use the money but it seems they reward those who don't deserve it and the ones who have paid their dues get nothing.  I keep making less and less every year as everything else goes up but my pay.  I feel like a tube of toothpaste.  They have squeezed all they can get out of me.
