Is it possible to grow treats like carrots in the crop fields, or is it only grain?

The other day she told me I was putting way too many crickets in the reptile enclosures. I put in like 10 and we are supposed to put around a dozen. Then she said that is the reason one of the chameleons died .-. (The chameleon came in sick when we got it)

Right now I am just going to do as I am told and let them handle the stuff I am not allowed to do anymore. See how much longer it takes them and what doesn't get done. Let them see I am not the issue.

Realistically, I just don't think some people want others there, was more my point. And will constantly bend and morph rules to try and make you miserable.

Del,
Well, she was whiny in general, too. I was too small to pick up a german shepherd safely and refused, suddenly it was passed off as "refusing work."

Amongst other things.

One time she snapped at me for "snarking" at her when I said, in a polite tone, "alright, I understand" to something she explained.

Versa,

Thats such an odd reason to fire someone lol

If thats truly how it is there, then I would start looking for a new position. Working in an environment where you have to constantly second guess yourself is stressful. Not good for the mental :)

My prior internship I got "fired" from. Why? An older lady who was overseeing me and all of my daily activities dropped a can of treats on the floor. She looked really in pain when she bent over to pick them up, so I offered to help.

She looked like I just screamed an insult at her...

But like I said there is always two workers and we do it all together. The main person I work with and do everything with is the Manager, which is the owners second in command

Sometimes people will explain how to do something one way but actually complete the task another. We dont always completely verbalize our process. There might be some unspoken rules that are at play here that you can only see if you shadow the task. Im sure this is frustrating.

Yep. That is one of the main reasons I left my last job. I worked there for almost 6 years and did everything the same way all those years which is the way I was taught and told by the owner. Then suddenly everything I was doing was wrong.

I would ask to shadow the owner or a coworker again for those tasks. Maybe a step in the task is escaping you and you don’t even realize it.

Well, the owner can't have it both ways. They can't train their employees one way, and do the same thing a different way. It's just gonna confuse, and piss off said workers. They get paid to do what they're trained to do.

The way I was trained is the way she says it is supposed to be done. I seriously don't understand

Hey yall! I took a long break from basically all art except for photography because of motivation and art block issues, especially due to orders and the sorts, but recently, I've felt compelled to pick up the manips again. And I always forget how much I truly love my art and I think that that is where I always make the mistake is trying to get it so perfect for people to enjoy that it turns into a job, and I feel overwhelmed. So, I definitely dont want to get back into shop orders yet, I am only strictly doing art that I want to do. I guess I'm just frustrated because while i JUST got back my joy with my art, I really really really want to keep it that way. Light and fun and use my art as an output for myself, but I can already feel art block coming back and inspiration and motivation slipping away. And it is super frustrating when I just got that back. Ugh.
.
Also, I'm ADHD, so, like, I already know my interests and hobbys are gonna peak and then go away, or ebb/flow, but art has always stuck around for a while like, reading and horses. Well, reading has recently come back too but, still. Horses never left lol.
.
And so, I guess I need life advice to avoid some sort of life crisis about my hobbies, which is such a stupid, like, complaint. I mean, I'm so blessed to be able to even have hobbies so know I just feel like I'm a whiner becuase of art of something. Oh gosh. 🤦‍♀️ Okay I'm just gonna stop there before I feel like I have to start apologizing for ths entire world 😢

You can't control what you are and aren't interested in, even if it's always been a consistent hobby. The best you can do is let it do as it does. The more irritated you become, the less and less likely it'll stay.
.
But you should ALSO consider some of the things that chased the motivation away to begin with. For me, it was ANY kind of custom order, even if someone vaguely requested like. A theme or something. So now they're restricted to solely when I feel like having something particular specified. Do what you need to do, not what others tell you to do, is the ultimate end goal here.

Maybe just do some premades to sell or if you want to take orders, keep it free reign only for you creative purposes.

I completely understand where you're coming from. I have experienced the same thing with my art countless times, which is why I haven't opened another art shop and mainly do premade auctions (some custom auctions if I feel up to a "challenge"), I like the have freedom with my art, so orders get overwhelming to me.

I agree completely with what Versailles and SCF said as well.
