CR Grid Bingos
Old Bingo Options
Just realized I think I missed some bingos on my grids with how burnt out and exhausted I got, and I just wanted to double check what everyone thought...
For anyone who isn't aware, when I completed either a row or a column on my Cookie Run grids, I was rolling between the users who got said cookies for extra art of their cookie. I'd like to still do that, but I understand some cookies have left their OG owners in the time it took to bingo (or my attention on it) or may not be interested in the time it's been. Please consider voting, especially if you have gotten from one of my cookie grids before :)
Will be finishing some more art soon :')

Some of you may remember this bulletin here and i need to make a follow up now.
For the past 3 months since then, i've been managing 2 stores, with my coworker who stuck with me being my ASM that wasn't able to actually do half the things he should've been able to. I hired on 5 people, trained 2 of them then they quit the first day they would've worked alone, 1 of them quit after 2 days and didn't even make it to fully trained in (and was really pretentious and wouldn't respect my wishes to NOT bother me at my second job to tell me they were going to quit), and 1 existing associate who should've never been hired quit.
I had one transfer who was really awesome though, and the other 2 I hired have been working hard and learning so much, I'm so so proud of them. But I was reaching my limits and I started putting pressure on my DM to finally hire an actual manager instead of me staying on as temp where i can't do good enough because of the workload to even justify me becoming permanent, and a former employee offered to come back on and apply for that position. Things were looking really really good, and thats why I was confident in reopening my grids.
Then this week started:
- Monday the coworker who's been with me through thick and thin the past 4 months put in his resignation, not even a full 2 weeks only to the end of this week, and the transfer calls and tells me his availability is going to be chopped heavily due to taking on another job, but he was still going to be available for closing shifts.
- Yesterday (my last day off for who knows how long with him going), leaving coworker gets sick and I nearly have to cover his shift, and another coworker needs me to come and bring her keys to open. But the former employee has a first interview.
- Today I find out he has his second interview. But then right before my shift ends, the transfer calls to tell me he's also resigning effective immediately because of his other job. And I'm told later during my other job that the former employee was apparently one of the worst interviews the RM has had and is a hard no on being hired as SM.
So we're right back to where I was 4 months ago: 4 total employees to run 2 stores. 2 of which are still having hiccups, but they're still pretty fresh. And 1 who makes a big deal of how long he's been here, but claims he can't do anything because he doesn't know how to do it and can't even take out the garbage at close, the one thing I've asked of him. All of this not even including the horrible schedule my manager at my other job is dealing me where she's only giving herself coverage and leaving me to fend for myself on the weekend despite her claims of not wanting to stress me or overwork me any more than this job is.
TLDR: Things were starting to look up and like I would be able to start taking some time for myself and art again, just for every single glimmer of hope I had being snuffed out one by one in a single week. I'll be trying to pump out owed art tonight and this weekend, but it is going to be slower simply due to the mental strain I am dealing with right now.
My dear friend Espress0 has a medical emergency and is raising funds! I'm bumping their commissions for it, and I'll also be opening commissions back up soon to help as well.
