Doodeedoo...

So I think I really hate when other people go on vacation. Either that or I just hate when people go on vacation at my current branch. I have no clue why, but noone can seem to manage to put together a schedule that makes any sense or has any semblance of adequate coverage on days we need it. While, yes, yesterday was a holiday, we should have had another teller scheduled for the day. Someone calling out sick should not automatically send us to crisis mode. Granted, we also have two people out at the same time because they just had new additions to the family... Either way, it should not matter. It was known long before hand about when they would be due, and plans should have been made in the event of the babies coming early or late.

Anyway, just wanted to bitch about that for a few minutes. Though I have had to take on a lot of extra side work that our assistant manager usually does, I really do not mind at all as it gives me an opportunity to show I CAN do it. Which is always a good thing when one actually wants to move up in a company.

So! New tattoos...I have a couple of Buddhist Mantras that I wanted to get tattooed on my forearms, as well as one I want over my heart.

The Mani Mantra, which is the Mantra of love and compassion:


The Pani Mantra, which is the Mantra of protection and to overcome both inner and outer obstacles:


I still need to get quotes on these, but I'm guessing I will be dropping a few hundred to get those two, and another $150-$200 for the last one.

That's all for now!
