Holy crap, geranium oil (pelargonium graveolens) stinks. Believe me when I tell you this, people. The first bottle I picked up smelled a little like roses, which is why I got it, to help augment the rose perfume I'm making, because rose oil is unbelievably expensive. But the bottle I made it home with smells NOTHING like rose, and the 3 drops I used have overpowered and ruined the entire mix. I'm totally bummed. For the first time, I have concocted a mix that smells horrible in the bottle, horrible on me, horrible in the air, just flat out horrible. It's bad. :(

I got a raise! It's a tiny raise, to be sure, but a raise, nonetheless. I only got 2 divets against me in my review, and neither of them is really my fault, per se, and if another manager had done my review, I wouldn't have gotten at least one of them at all, but that one is the manager who did my review's biggest issue in the store. And I know he wrote everyone up for not doing it, so I don't really care. It's not a company policy, anyway. The other thing I'll work on, but I'm not too concerned with it, because there's really no way to avoid doing it. That's just the nature of the job. Since I'm often the only one at the desk, there's really no way to avoid piling books on the desk unless every single book I get, I run to the section...one book at a time. And I'm not going to do that, because it's stupid. So I'll take that mark, too. And anyway, I got my raise, and it was more than twice what I expected, so I'm happy. I still make peanuts, but I make 3% more peanuts than I did, so pa-har-ta-hay.

I took the rest of this out, because Mom would be really hurt by it, and I'm sure it's lacking at least some degree of fairness. Not to mention I shouldn't write blog entries about my family immediately after dealing with them, because while those entries might be cathartic, they are also incredibly angry. Sorry about that, and I hope I didn't hurt anyone else with my mean, bratty comments.

Peace out,
Katie
