I think I'm doing this right. If not then, uh... Oop

Cayne and Oli were busy swimming at the swimming hole near the wolf's home. Cayne had heard Oli step out of the water, but didn't pay much mind to it. That was until the wolf turned to see Oli's bare bottom in full view.

"... How long has this thing been sitting out for?"

The rabbit looks down at a moldy mess of a muffin that has clearly sat out for far too long. Its darkly colored crumb giving way to a blooming white colony of pestilence, the rabbit had no desire to consume this muffin no matter how much one might ask.

"......." Abe was silent.

Panto didn’t mean to startle the Lagopmorph, though he also wasn’t quite expecting to be picked up either. Thankfully he was able to keep calm, having a feeling that Olivar wasn’t someone that was going to hurt him. These feelings proving true when the cuddles occurred, which Panto would return said cuddles.

I DID IT

Thank you so much!  I am currently working in a formalwear store and it’s just been hell.  They got acquired by a larger company about 4 months after I started.  I had just gotten certified as a formalwear consulted (yeah I know alot about dressin fancy) and was about to start earning commission and then BAM.  New company takes over and no more commission, I was supposed to get 1-3 reviews to get raises (review every 3 months)  BAM.  Reviews are now annual.  Everyone who had been there longer was already getting commission so their pay was calculated by how much they averaged out on commission + 25 cents more-- but since I didn’t even start to get commission, I got NOTHING.  We had a team of five people, and one left to Korea and the other got promoted to run another location as manager.  Now there’s only three of us.  Then they closed a nearby store of the company’s formalwear place which is a whole different store and moves all their orders, inventory, computer and register and just EXPECT us to handle it.  

Think of it this way:  You work a McDonalds and you run it really well.  Good rating on yelp, customers are generally pleased, pace is mild but not too slow, and you come in one day and now you HAVE to run Burger King in there too-- and all these customers you never dealt with before are all upset because it’s SO inconvenient for them to come down the block to get what they were promised at Burger King, and Burger King was sloppy and there’s all these issues you gotta handle, you have to learn a whole new menu and now it’s never fun to work there anymore and everyone is cranky and you’re the ONLY McDonalds who’s doing this.  Also the phone is CONSTANTLY ringing, sometimes both phones are ringing, and you got people inside and in the drive through and now you can’t do anything well and no one wants to apply to work there.  That’s what it became, except with tuxedos and suits instead of hamburgers.  (Also McDonalds workers get paid more than I am.)So I talked to my manager offering to allow him to bump me up to full time because part timers get NOTHING (no vacation, no time and a half on holidays} and I state that I’d require a bump in pay for it (because the wage I get is laughable and I only ever started working there to fill in gaps to make ends meet for my other job) and he said he CAN’T give me a raise-- not that he would see what he could do-- but basically just dropped it.  I warned him I had places wanting to hire me that would pay me more and he said “That’s your choice.”
