Well, got back from Florida (I HAVE A TAN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS 8 OR SOMETHING!!!) So sad to be back... it was beautiful there and my first time. We stayed at a place called Wakulla Suites which was so cheap and the rooms were literally apartements!! It was amazing! It was on the ocean side of Florida so I got my first taste of salt water...literally... I almost vomited. LOL! I went to sea world I GOT TO PET MANTA RAYS!!! THEY ARE ADORADLE!! LIKE SLIMY LITTLE KITTENS! I want 1.
It was sad to come home... especially to the mountains of paperwork the was left for me!



and no, the manta ray did not try to sting me in the heart. lol.

But the most depressing thing was getting back to the mail at work for me. I got my "thank you for putting up with us for 5 yrs" catalogue from EB... it's actually been 6.. but who's counting? ;) it depresses me that I've been there for this long...it'll be even more depressing when I hit 10 yrs! But, on the up side, I get to pick an "award" ...they've got some really cool stuff!! (none of it game related, weirdly enough) I CAN GET AN ICE CREAM MAKER!! There's also a telescope! and jewelry and italian lether handbags, kenneth cole wallets, watches.... and an inukshuk... why would anyone choose that? lol. Hurray for random.

Current Mood: crazy

Well, more about work..... I forgot to mention in my previous post that all of the managers who I thought were my friends were part of the reason I got fucked over. They all lied to me first of all, and I've discovered that apparently none of them have any respect for me.... I'm just slightly useful eye candy.... and a big flirt, and my DM thinks that I sleep around. Hurrah! I am never going anywhere! It's going to be really hard to go to work every day and smile and do my job.... but I have rent to pay now.

It helps to have wicked cool old ladies come into your store and talk games and tell you dirty jokes though! This woman was HILARIOUS!!! I hope to be like he when I get older.

Which reminds me! I didn't even post that I HAVE GREY HAIRS!!!! HURRAH!! I am so excited! :D I know, I'm odd. But it's so great! I never have to dye my hair again cause soon I will be old and distunguished. ;)

Current Mood: quixotic

So, I just got fucked over again at work.
I'm considering the 3 strike you're out rule.....
Cause this is their 3rd strike.

A new store opened up and they wanted to move my manager there, so we thought the most logical course of action since I've been acting manager twice before was to move him, promote me and give me the new girl they hired as my ASM.... well, because my DM hates me for some reason instead of doing that he's moving like a billion people around just so he can avoid promoting me! and to top it all off one of the other managers told me in confidence that my DM told him I'd been passed up because I don't take my job seriously enough and don't do enough for the company!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
I CAME IN ON CHRISTMAS FUCKING DAY, MISSING MY FAMILY STUFF TO SET UP FOR BOXING DAY!
I PUT IN MORE HRS THAN I HAVE TO AND DO SO MUCH STUFF THAT IS NOT IN MY JOB DECRIPTION!
I WORK MY FUCKING ASS OFF!!!

I hate this because I like working there.... but if I'm not going anywhere and getting screwed over every 2 seconds then why stay?

So, after all this time I finally have a computer of my very own!!! ....and no friends so...what's the fun in that? I went on MSN and realized that I really don't talk to anyone on my list any more so.... why would I even go on? Even typing this is rather depressing because I finally realize that no one reads it any ways...wel, except for Shaun ... but I would tell him all this on the weekend so big deal. lol! Well, whatever. That's the way it's going to be I guess.
Even checking my email is depressing because only 1 person emailed me... and that was my first ex boyfriend trying (yet again) to get his PS2 games back. I actually found a couple more and he's welcome to them because maybe then he'll stop bugging me about them. It's been like 6 yrs! Or longer! geez. :(
One awesome thing about my new computer is that I can finally find anime!! Hurrah! I got a kick ass site from Jun and I've been watching XXX Holic. But the site only let's you watch for 70mins and then makes you come back in 54mins for some reason. It's annoying but it's got really good stuff on the site in really good quality. :)
I get to go to Bugsy's tonight! I went on the weeken too! It's been so long and no one remembers me there:( it's depressing. I went with Shaun and Peaul on the weekend and tonight I'm going with Paul and we're gonna play Magic (yesI'm a geek and Shaun and I are teaching Paul how to be one!) and saturday night i'll probably do the same thing with Shaun! Then on Sunday I get to go see Bot! Hurrah! It's gonna be a good wekend!

I'll have to get a pic of my tree on here so i can show it off!!!

Well, Christmas is here and that means.... alot of work. lol. I've been working long hours. But the plus is that because of the recession it really hasn't been that bad! It's always been SO MUCH BUSIER!
I celebrated christmas today with CP! :)
It was so cute. He made me a tofurky christmas dinner last night and we watched "Snowball Express" and went out for a drink with my dad who really seems to like him now because CP ate some of his "Mike's wings" that he always gets at Cheers.
This morning we opened presents... CP went a little crazy and bought me what feels like a whole new wardrobe! lol. I felt bad because I'm poor so I couldn't get him very much compared to what he got me. One of his presents isn't finished yet too. It'll be more of a new years gift I guess...
I have a tree too!! I love it. I wasn't going to get 1 because...what's the point? But I was kinda forced into it and I'm very happy I did because it's awesome! I didn't have any decorations really so I had to maguyver some, and I think I did a great job! I got some dollar store tinsel, and found some old fake pearl necklaces that I cut so they're strands and put them on, I found some crystals that I stole off my grandfathers chandalier when I was younger and put them on, I wrapped red & green marbles in saran wrap and tied them with sparkly red yarn and put them on, and then I have 3 ornaments: Frank Sinatra and Hello kitty from Shaun, and a plaster angel with a star that has my name on it from Ryans mom. And the piece de resistance: CP & I made out of toilet paper rolls at the top of my tree! :) lol! For someone who's been working so much I still have too much time on my hands! ;)
Well, I'm about to watch the 1st version of "the office" which I also got for christmas! It's the one with Ricky Gervais instead of Steve Carrell. I'm so excited...and kinda mad because I didn't have it before because it was so expensive! CP spent way too much on me. :( I really hate people spending money on me.
I'm kinda sad that he had to leave. Also my sister called me and told me that my younger sister now decided that she's not going to come open presents with my fam on Christmas Eve, which is our tradition now. Christmas is really gonna suck and I'm gonna be stuck alone in my apt. :( It's really depressing that I'm going to wake up alone on christmas day... no people to spend it with, no presents under the tree... so sad...
But I'm gonna stop thinking of that right now and go try to get presents done! :)

Well, I've done so much lately!! I went on a random road trip!! I mean, the kind of road trip I've been tryin to get together for SO LONG!!! Me and my new....guy... went "where can we get to in a night?" we checked out a map and discovered...BEAVER PENNSYLVANIA!!! Lol. You could see what made us go "Hell Yeah!" haha!

So we started out on Tuesday Nov 18th after I got off work. We got to the border and...here's a tip.... never tell the border gaurds that you're going to Pennsylvania and you don'tt know why and you don't know where you're going to stay... they really don't like that. We got told to pull over and get out of the vehicle. We had to sit in a holding pen while they searched our truck. I know. I really do look like a smuggler.
Then we were on our way again.
We got to Beaver and saw a Toys r us with a big sign over it that said "Beaver Valley Mall" and we started laughin thinking "this is the mall?!" then we it. The mall. IT WAS HUGE!! It was like the fairview, the pen and niagara square all put together! Beaver was actually bigger than we thought. We were joking around about there not being any rooms available in Beaver so we went into the Holiday Inn which had the BEST frontdesk guy EVER!!! He was hilarious! An older short little fat guy with these magnifying bubble glasses but he still had to lean within an inch of the monitor to see it and he had this high whispy voice, it was amazing! And he told us that he only had three rooms left... THREE!! Turns out there was some conference going on and we almost DIDN'T get a room!! The best part is that we found this is all so hilarious that WE DIDN'T LISTEN TO OUR ROOM #! We knew it was on the 3rd floor but didn't hear which # and we couldn't find it on the key card! So we tried a couple random doors and laughed hysterically until we realized it was on the outside of the envelope! Well, that's all I'll write now....to be continued...cause I'm starving. And there's Thai!! :) mmmmmm......

Well, yesterday was lots of fun!! Shaun had to work so I got left by my lonesome for most of the day but that was okay because I decided to explore. I found a trail along the River Saskatchewan and walked SO FAR!!! Then I found some really scary rickety bridge that went over the river (it was really high up and consisted of a couple of boards put together that you could look down and see the river through and they creaked and groaned when you stepped on them. Then I ended up on the other side of the river and had no clue where I was. I kept walking straight and lost the trail so I wanted to find a way back to it (cause I could still see it in the distance) but the only was back was to cross some huge field and fight my way through some thistles!! lol.

So, I found my way back to the other side of the river but still had no clue where I was because I'd ended up in some sort of residential area! I knew I had to get back to 1st st N and 22nd st E. which sounds easy enogh....but not when 1st st N mysteriously ends because there's a big 'Robin Hood' factory in the way! So I had to find an alternate route to the other side which consisted of walking though some industrial facility that had a whole bunch of signs saying that I wasn't supposed to be there! lol. Meanwhile Shaun was trying to find me and (because he doesn't usually doesn't drive a truck) had gotten into an accident, running into a 'no parking' sign! lol! and busting the oil pan! So I now had to try to find him!! I had to backtrack and try to find a way back around the factory which consisted of inding my way through some creepy muddy train grave yard!!

Well, the best part of the night which had me laughing forever was when Shaun was talking to the rental guy. The conversation went something like this:
S-Shaun
R-Rental guy

S- "so how much can this new truck caryy?"
I- "....well, I'm not sure but it would be in the manual..."
S- "Oh! but I can't drive manual!"

.....lol....oh Shaun!!
Well, I'm headed home today. My flight leaves here at 2pm, it's a 3.5 hr flight and I get in to T.O at 7:30pm ... I just can't get used to that! Where do the 2 hrs go?! lol.

I hope to hear from people when I get back!

Well, I made it safetly to Saskatoon.... it's very flat. :) lol. The plane ride was fun but my ass fell asleep. It made me want to go sky diving even more!! I could totally jump out of that!!

Shaun is being responsible and workin right now so I'm killing some time while he talks to his client or something. :)

It feels really weird to re-live these couple of hours again! It was 10am twice today.....that's confusing! :) It's a 2 hr time difference between here and St. Kitts so I left st. Kitts at 8:30am was on a plane for 3 hrs and arrived in Saskatoon at 9:55am...lol.

Well, that's all for now!!

Well, I don't know how often I'll be able to do this since I'm totally cut off from the world now that I have my own place... *sigh* all the pros and cons. I've been in my new place for about a month now and still haven't had time for a housewarming party (which you are all invited to!!) but at least I've been unpacked for a while now (It looks like an apartment as opposed to a storage facility!). It's nice but I'm so poor it's not funny. I have (literally) $2 to my name right now. Stupid phone bill being about $200.... it's from my trip to t.o and london. Long distance and texts.....blah. But I love my place, although it's rather lonely at times.

I went to see Spamalot last week!!! It was pretty great, although I wasn't a fan of the guy who played Arthur...he looked SO MUCH like Tim Curry....but unfortunately didn't have the talent or voice of him.... It was great though and I have the soundtrack now! Hurrah! I can finally sing along with it!!!

And my last crazy news.... I'm going to Saskatoon for Thanksgiving!!! My friend Shaun is stuck there by his lonesome so he's flying my out to spend the holiday with him!! I fly out on Sat morning and come home Mon night. Kinda sucks that it's my first time on a plane and I have to experience it alone... but I think I'll survive... and if not, Shaun got some sort of flight insurance on me so at least I will not have died in vain!! ;) lol

Well, that's my quick update... I don't know when I'll have access to a computer again.... but I figured I would at least let people know that I'm alive and well and miss you all..... CALL ME PEOPLE!! I'M LONELY!! :)
