No Phone call from Nubody's yet, which makes me believe that I did not get the job. The job didn’t sound that amazing. I’m not a sales person and I hate sales people! But this job would have put me out of my comfort Zone and actually made me work for something, which I haven’t had to do for a really long time. Plus there head office is here in Dartmouth and they promote within. So If I was to get on with Nubody’s I actually had a chance of getting in to a marketing department!

 

 

I don’t see myself at this new job. My two weeks is in at sobeys and I am supposed to be heading in to sign the contract today, yet I still don’t “see” myself there. It’s not a great job either. The pay and hours are good but there is very little work. The benefit of this job is that when the term position is up I will be more qualified to take a job in a company as an administrative assistant and hope they move me to their marketing department in a few years. So really it’s about 3 steps behind Nubody’s but still a step I guess. I could be surprised but it sounds like I will be board out of my mind there. There isn’t a lot to do but I need to grow up, I guess this is how to do it? Leaving Sobeys right now is the only decision I am sure of! So I guess it doesn’t matter what I do as long as I am gone!

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I am going to take a shower and then call Nubody’s. I want a personal rejection, I’m not letting them off the hook with a letter! lol

 

I’m quite excited right now. We’ve just started an online book club, super geeky, but I love to read and love to talk about it so this should be fun! I hope we all stick to it and I hope we get a few more members than expected.

Right now, I’m making a CD of The all American Rejects so that when Sara and I go to the concerts I will be familiar with their stuff. I am not usually a “sing along” type person, but at a concert it is a must and not knowing the songs takes away from the whole effect of a concert. I’ve got AAR’s first CD but its been a really long time since I’ve listened to it, but I am excited!

I was off today and it was the perfect day to be off too, I wanted to start reading “Breaking Dawn” by Stephanie Myer, but I have not been feeling well and so I have been medicating myself all day which also means I have slept most of the day. But considering the pain I am in I am super glad I didn’t have to work today so, in the end, despite the pain,  I consider it a good day! Plus, I love to sleep so that’s fun!

I’ve got lots of things to do but I just can’t seem to get motivated to do them... Lets see how the rest of the night goes

 

 Ok, Here I am, I'm back! (Are you excited Sara?)

So I have to laugh a little here, reading my heading; "I just found out there is no such thing as the real world". A lyric from a John Mayer song obviously. But at the time I meant it as ironic. I hated that everyone always said "hurry up and get ready for the real world" when we were in high school or university. As if we had zero responsibilities when we were in school and lived in a world of freedom and bliss. But now, more then ever to I believe in that title. I have been living in the real world for an awful long time now and nothing at all has changed. I'd like to know what big changes happened for those people who started the "Welcome to the real world" phrase? Cause in my world, everything is pretty much the same as high school. You never get rid of those katty girls, or the back stabbing or the eager brown noser... now its just that are bills start getting higher. That’s the only difference I have found

Today, my father brought home a business card from a friend of his who works for a marketing company. He says he doesn't think they need anyone at the moment but he has a lot of connections and is willing to pass my resume around and put a good word in for me (not that we have ever met). I'm in a serious need to get out of Sobeys (aka Hell). I usually go through a phase where I am miserable and just want out so bad and then I get back to being comfortable and am not trying as hard to get out. Its different now, I am comfortable but I still know I need to get out. I am going to send my resume openly into some event companies that I found in Halifax. I desperately want to be an event planner but can not seem to find any signs of ways break into that industry. If I don't get an interview in the next week or to I am going to break down and apply for jobs out of province. I really don't want to, but it is time. Plus the Psychic said I would be living in a bigger province then Nova Scotia... so of course that must be true!

 Later Days

You Are Peeps

You're the type that's more likely to play with your food than actually eat it.

Ok, So Shopaholic much?
The mama and me went shopping today (it was her birthday yesterday) and it was really nice. Normally I get really annoyed when I go shopping with her, one reason being we are usually going shopping for me and I can’t find anything and she finds a million things and isn’t even suppose to be buying anything. And two: I’m an odd duck and prefer to shop on my own.

But anyways, It was a nice time and she came out with some really nice clothes. And for me, it was so much nicer to be able to go into a store and try things on and have pretty much everything fit, and look the way I would think they are meant to. I always use to go shopping, take 10 things (If I could even find that much) in the changing room and be lucky if I though 1 outfit looked ok. But today, I found a tone of things to try on and almost everything came home with me.

I found a really nice white blazer, but I figured by the time I need to start wearing that kind of thing it would be to hot, and then when blazers were back in, white would be out of style…. Not that I’m a style follower… you need style for that… but white really is only nice at certain times. So anyways, the blazer stayed in the store. But I did come home with:

3 shirts, 3 skirts, a pair of shoes, 2 pairs of flip flops, a beach bag, 2 beach towels, and a bathing suit. So really, that’s not all that much. But for me… that’s a whole summers worth of shopping (last year anyways)

Plus the good thing is, two of the shirts and two of the skirts go well with a few things I all ready had, so I’ve actually made at least 4 outfits out of just those, so I’m happy.

I just finished my last ever assignment!!! How exciting is that!!
Well really I still have to edit my paper and make the stupid bibliography. And I have a presentation tonight, one tomorrow and a 100 min test online, and then there are my two final exams. But really, homework-wise I’m done! FOREVER!!!


Oh, and by the way, JUNO’s Minus Pam Anderson where amazing… I have a new love… Michale Buble! He’s so cute… and tearing up during his performance and calling his girl sweetie pie didn’t help at all… :)


Only 19 More sleeps till I'm in CUBA!!

now you really can tell I'm bored

( Stole this from an email, to lazy to forward it )

I’m not sure why I’m doing this… no one reads this but I’m bored :)

( Stole this from Sara )

We’ve got our trip booked for Cuba! I’m super excited! We are leaving at 6:00am on April 23 and coming home at 11:50pm on April 30!!

 

I’m also nervous about the food, I was worried on my own and than I heard from a friend how awful it is, and poor Kate being a vegetarian that makes it worse. My friend said that the food that’s out at lunch time is the same food at dinner, and that the vegetables aren’t washed properly and are loaded with pesticides!  I’m afraid Kate may not be able to eat at all!!! Plus, now here is the biggest issue: THEY DON’T HAVE ANY COKE!!! Well they have coke but I prefer the kind you drink… not the kind you snuff

 

The only issue here is that SMU's final examination dosent end until April 29... I'm a little nervous... but I should only have 3 exams at most, 1 is a full year class and this semester we have the exam on the first day of exams so I would suspect this will be the same for April. The other two courses are online courses which usually mean in the first week as well.

Aside from that I'm super excited!

( CUBA!! )

Is there something wrong with me If I cant wait for a day that my phone dose not ring, I have no emails all day, no one writes me on MSN and There isnt a single person around?

Even if i still have school work to do, I just want a day like that! I think I'm going to become one of those people who never leave their house and has no contact with the outside world... live primitively with no telephone, internet or electric heat....

Anyways Off to smu... I'll just keep dreaming the ultimate dream....

Hmm, ok, I’m confused
Everyone who has ever mentioned the movie “Sin City” to me (and there have been many) Have basically said it was one of the best movies they have ever seen… granted these were mostly guys (I tend to have the same taste in movies as guys do anyways… I’m very versatile in my tastes) I still would have expected to follow suit. This was the weirdest movie ever! The first hour was horrible, but by then end I would have chalked the movie up to an “ok” movie, really one that just past the time while I was bored… nothing more… What was that! Why do people love this movie so much?

The Avril Lavigne Concert was really good. She genuinely looked happy to be performing for us. She doesn’t seem like the little rebel they try so hard to make her look like. I really liked her opening act, Butch walker. He had this weird sense of humour, sometimes weird but a lot of the time funny. He did an amazing Kelly Clarkson cover, I think that was the highlight of the entire show for me!

Today was the day from hell at work. I went in expecting to be bored, but I’ve been trained on more admin stuff so I had lots to do… Only I didn’t get a chance to do them! I went to my lunch, came back to see the office look like it got hit by a tornado, then spend the next two hours either on the phone with PC support to fix our debits or doing western union. At one point I was talking to 2 people on one phone, 1 more person on another phone, my manager and the supervisor! They all felt the need to talk to me at the same time! Why my manager felt I could talk to 2 different techs on two different phones simultaneously is beyond me, and it really confuses me how he also thought talking to me at the same time would help! After I had been on the ground under the counter playing with cords and getting other instructions from the tech to try to figure out the problem, my manager felt the need to keep telling me to tell the tech to hurry up cause we are a busy store!!! Like the tech can hurry up! He had no idea what was wrong! My manager really has no people skills… or any useful skills that I can see of!

So I came home on my lunch and decided to check my email, only my computer decided to misplace my operating system. So I thought I would try to load the one that came with my lap top, only it kept telling me I couldn’t do it cause I don’t have a hard drive! Ok, No more downloading for me! I have no idea what else could have caused the problems.

Right now I’m sitting very uncomfortably at my computer desk using my laptop, its called a laptop cause its suppose to go on your lap! My shoulders hurt from having to sit so weird to type! Really I guess I could just not type!

Oh and great news, Gas is going up to $1.52!!!! Great timing for me to get a new car!

Later Dayz!

Went to the Pouge and the Dome Saturday night with Pam, Denise, Sarah, Kate and Vicky. I had so much fun! I never go downtown because its not really my “scene” but it was amazing fun! We started out at the Pouge, had a few drinks (or me and Sarah did anyways lol) danced a little (or they did and me and Kate watched) listened to some crazy band and watch a really old Greek looking guy dance around insanely and then stare openly at poor oblivious Kate. Then it was off to the dome were me and Sarah met up with Jamie and Steven. Jamie and Sarah disappeared for a while and left me and Steven to wander around and get drunk, which made Pam think that I had “picked up” (which she also thought that by the end of the night to but for other reasons lol) Anyways, we stayed out until about 4:30, I had way to much to drink and was still drunk lying in my bead at 6:00 this morning. I’m never drinking that much again! I swear for real! For my birthday I’m totally only brining $20.00! The good news is I’m not in the least bit hung over. The bad news is, I went to bed at 5:30, woke up about every half hour and then woke up for good at 10:00am! I never get up that early on a normal day! Let alone a night like last night! So yeah, I’m just a little bit tired!

So I think the highlight of my night was when I went to buy me and Sarah our first drinks, some guy bought them for me! But then he just walked back into the crowed, and he was on a pub-crawl and they all looked the same, so I couldn’t even say thank you!

Then there was also the self proclaimed computer nerd we met outside the bathroom…he was adorable, and his friend was pretty cute to in a skater way! Plus he kissed me on the cheek and was right adorable lol (I know I sound like I’m 5!)

I went shopping last night with Sara. I actually bought stuff to! And I’m not planning on returning them either! I got a really nice pair of jeans at Eclipse, which is the first pair of jeans that I have bought and still like when I got home since probably first year or grade 12. I also got 2 downtown shirts from LeChâteau. I tried them on with my dress pants at home and I really like them. Thanks for picking them out Sara! Now I can actually go down town and not feel so awaked, may be a little dressy but whatever.

So Lyndsey is leaving Sobeys this week which means I get to be the store managers “special helper” The jobs I have to do for him not aren’t bad and it will be a nice change, but I don’t want to be his little suck up side kick that she was. Don’t get me wrong, I like Lyndsey, but I definitely don’t want a close relationship with Francis! Yeah, I got the job because all the managers were so impressed with the way I typed the minutes for there meeting. All I did was find a nice memo program and go off of that. I also got it cause I’m the only non-management person left in the office lol. Which sucks, I don’t know how we are going to cover all the shifts!

I just had the night from hell!
The debits went down…. For 4 hours!
We had an incompetent supervisor
Michelle, the manager was off at 5:00 and was there until 8:30 trying to fix the debits (didn’t work!)
The supervisor screwed up so bad I literally had to leave the store so I would not punch her in the face
Diana, Suzanne and myself, had to basically run the entire front end because the supervisor was as useful as piece of metal stuck in your head!
We didn’t get out until 1:55Am
I didn’t close the office and will probably have to go in on Sunday to do it!

I HATE SOBEYS!!

It seems like a long time since I’ve posted. Nothing new has really happened though. I joined weight watchers. My mom and Sara both are on it and have both done excellent (you look amazing Sara!) So I thought I would give it a try. I did really well the first week and not bad the second, but already its like I’m at a stand still! I went up .2, which made me very sad. I had gone to the gym about 5 times that week which is more then my usual and I tried some different exercises. They say it takes about a week or two for a good work out to show up on the scales so maybe that’s why? I was also told I’m not eating enough… which is crap, I just haven’t been using my flex points…. But apparently if you don’t use any you are suppose to gain weight? Doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m trying it this week, I’m just a little afraid that upping the amount of food I’m eating will have my expected out come of gaining and not theirs of losing. I got up at 6:30am today to go to the gym, my brother works at 9:00 so it was the only time I could go today. I wanted to see if it was crazy and if all the woman left ready for work, but I think it was mostly stay at home mom types…. Why they are up at that hour and in the gym is beyond me! I’m also going to join a couple of exercise classes with the balance ball and the body bar, spice things up a bit, I’m a little tired of the tread mill….

Hmm what else?
I’m going downtown on Aug 19 to see Pam’s (from Sobeys) friend Daveys band. They are actually a Blue Rodeo tribute band. I’ve never actually heard Blue Rodeo, but after working with Lindsay this long I feel like I know them!

School starts soon! I’m soooooo not excited about that! Why cant it be summer just a little longer!

Later Dayz!

I just made my schedule for my Final year at university! As exciting as that is, it is a really crappy schedule.

I had it worked out so that I only had to go Mondays and Wednesdays both semesters, but stupid me wrote the time down wrong for the only class I “have” to take. So Now I’m going Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. It’s a pretty crappy schedule but at least I get to sleep in!

Mondays/Wednesdays
1:00-2:15
2:30-3:45
5:30-8:15 (Mondays only)

Tuesdays/Thursdays
2:30-345
4:00-5:15

The semester shouldn’t be too hard, I’m taking 2 marketing courses which will be a lot of work, but my other 3 courses and a Psy course and 2 Classics (which I love!! Yippie!)

Second semester is a little better, I only have to go Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which is great since its my last semester ever!!!

Mondays/Wednesdays
1:00-2:15
2:30-345

Tuesdays
5:30-8:15

And 2 online courses. I suck at online courses though, I always get way behind and end up with bad marks… but I don’t really care! That’s it! I’m done! I’m free! lol

its 1:10 in the morning and I stole this from Sara! arnt I cool! lol

We did madlibs in the car on the way home from PEI (Me, Sarah, Sara and Kerry) and since I’m a tool I feel I must post them. (they are not actually as funny as they usually are, but I’m tired and this is amusing me) All the Bold is that they had to fill in!

 

One day Dave and his friend Beth decided to take a road trip in their Hummer. On the way they ran into Sara who was selling Umbrellas on the side of the road while Kerry was Karate chopping to entertain the customers. Dave and Beth Quickly got back onto the road to Hawaii after seeing this. Once in Hawaii, they decided to go to a party where their were people dancing in the bedroom. This frustrated them very much so they Jumped back to the hotel.

 

So this one wasn’t so amusing, but it’s a madlib, there are no guarantees! 

 

This one was started by Sara:

 

Once upon a time Beth found a 7 leaf clover. She wished for world peace and a diamond ring. As soon as the diamond ring appeared it started to Kiss. Kerry suddenly appeared and started punching behind a near by pillow and saved Beth’s life! She was so grateful that she threw Kerry a party in her bathroom. The party got a little out of control and people started jumping all around Kerry. Finally when Jarred started smothering on a rock they knew the party was a dud.

 

So as stupid as this one is, the last part cracks me up. Especially since Jarred was a kid that worked in a shop in Cavendish. We got held up in a Minnie parade and were asked by his mother (who had a lovely glass of red punch in her hand) to go in and send her son a Canada day greeting. Which we did. And he didn’t quit know how to handle that.
