No Internet But Enjoying It

Two days after my last post our internet provider disconnected us due to a billing issue, and since our landlord deals with the bill we can't do anything about it, and we still don't have internet. I am being classy, and using McDonald's internet as we speak. I am enjoying no internet but it drives me crazy at the same time.

Might I also add I feel very insulted by my old workplace McDonald's because they slipped me a piece of paper saying hiring full time for September. First of a ll I have a job already, and second of all I am going back to school in September, actually in August. I found it very rude, but apparently they miss me, I don't know why though I sucked at the job.

I am still diligently reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What a horrible time to lose internet I might add I wanted to try, and get into Pottermore early. ;_;

I went to go get my tattoo done on Tuesday, and my artist went on vacation that day, and never called me. I thankfully got the appointment rescheduled a week from then. It was very upsetting, and I was really excited. I have had this appointment booked since my birthday.

I've mostly been cleaning, and such on my days off.

I have fallen back into gaming, and I am currently laying Paper Mario. I forgot how much I loved that game!

I also have gotten all my mail from the school about the school year, and I am very excited to start at the end of the month. I am also looking forward to my trip home later in the month.

Unbelievable Week, Not in the Good Way

I finally finished The Half-Blood Prince. I am very excited to read the Deathly Hallows. I am actually going to go see The Deathly Hallows Part II again with a friend, non-3D this time thankfully. ♥ I am quite enthralled by the Potter Puppet Pals, and hope to eventually watch A Very Potter Musical.

It has been an awful, and horrible week. Work was my biggest problem. I had gone to work, and I misheard what my boss wanted me to do but I did it later. Then later on during the day I did not fully do my job, and my boss sent me home. This of course clearly upset me, and this is the second time my boss has made me cry. I am not going to lie, yes I made a huge mistake, and I did not fully do my job, but sending me home really never teaches me anything. Rather be understaffed; an unlikely story because I know what it is like to work in an understaffed workplace, and believe me it was busy. I didn't say anything because I am still on probation. We have been nice to each other in the last few days but I must say I feel rather discriminated against as the youngest, and usually only other female on the floor as it is a men's clothing store... I have never been sent home when working at McDonald's if I made a mistake, and we are dealing with customer's food here, they always helped me fix it. I don't mind getting sent home early when it is dead, or if we are overstaffed.

It is pretty bad when I want to go back home, and work at the McDonald's there again. As much as I didn't get along with my boss there I could at least tolerate, and retort against his jokes with some back up. I have never been one to understand or be able to give the air of sarcasm or jokes, and because of said problem my feelings are easily hurt.

Each day getting out of bed has gotten excruciatingly worse... I just do not want to face the day, or work seeing as nothing is going quite right. Sleep isn't coming to easily either.

I miss all my friends home. :( I just want to be home so badly it isn't funny. I can't though.

Work, Work, Work

I had my first shift at the new place Tuesday, and I love it so much already. The staff is so nice, and laid back. It is a lot less stressful then my other job. I also worked there Wednesday. There are still a few things I don't have the hang of but I am getting there. I have a week left at McDonald's, and it would have been less but they lost my two weeks notice. Not impressed about that, seriously that is an important document so how can you be so irresponsible to lose that.
I went into my shift two hours early too early Tuesday so I went back home, and they called to tell me not to come in until an hour and a half later, they basically cut my hours on me. Ugh, and talk about crazy busy because it has been especially during the long weekend. The place was a mess, it would help if we had someone who knew how to do the job to clean lobby. So I also worked last night on till, and they took me off it just to clean lobby then cut my hours again. It really is getting old. I almost got rid of the shift so I could go work, and get trained more at my new job, and I couldn't, and then the person I asked came into work anyways.... I got severely ticked off at the management staff as well considering they always yell at me for the stupidest things.
I dropped my change purse in McDonald's the other day, and I knew that was the last place I had it. I had to ask five different managers just to get it back. The one I got it back from said they might have thrown it away.... I am really not getting this store one bit...
I have to keep reminding myself that I have one week left, and it is very frustrating at times, and I am kind of letting my anger show as well.
I am finally off for a few days because I gave my shift away tomorrow because I have guests coming up who are taking me home. I have also worked for a week straight between two jobs. I really hope my hours have accumulated for a decent paycheck.
I seriously do not get paid enough to be cleaning vomit off the floor, and walls at work. I was gagging so bad I had to ask someone to help me clean it up. Talk about gross.
I am off for the next four days so I am rather pleased. :)

A Balance of Good that Outweighs the Bad

I have a new job. I am very excited. I went to work after having two consecutive days off, and was told someone from a store across the street was hiring, and they wanted me to apply for the job. I checked it out after being cut, and was told to bring in a resume. When I came back I had an on the spot interview, and some training. I have been hired. I am leaving McDonald's behind after 3 years (4 years in terms of school Grade 11-2nd Year University). I am so very excited, and happy. My two weeks was put in the same day I was hired.
So the neighbour has finally pushed his luck. He littered the trash all over the front yard by our doorstep because none of us took the garbage down to the curb last night. He also a few weeks ago put the garbage can right in our walkway out of the house. The garbage in the front yard is all his too. The landlord, and the police were both contacted. The landlord stopped by, and the policeman who stopped by was very hot.
Last week was frustrating at times. I am still quite frustrated about the freeloading comment, apparently making curry compensates for freeloading. I did all the dishes, made the rice, and the other friend helped make the onions up, helped with the dishes, and some other stuff. We went to the bar, for karaoke. We were sitting by the bar cause there were chairs, and the bartender spilled pineapple juice, and got me, and her, she freaked out, and I just sat there drenched. The bartender came out, and apologized to her personally. She made way to much of a deal. When we got home at the early hours of the morning I told her to be quiet, and she wasn't.... My milk is almost gone that I just bought too, That really made me mad because my other friend is lactose intolerant, and I hadn't drank any out of it yet. Her stuff took over most of my room, and made it very hard to get around, or doing anything. She also took the entire pull-out bed, and made my friend sleep on the futon after I told her to share. I am really not impressed to say the least. I did have fun grocery shopping with my good friend while the freeloader stayed at home. I should have bought that dragonfruit! I had fun Blackberry messaging my good friend when annoyed with the freeloader. I enjoyed going to the mall, and browsing, especially when the roommates came.
I have yet to finish that purse. I plan on eventually getting my own sewing machine. A baby lock would be nice. I did pick out a final project, and I cannot wait to make it.

Issues With Work

Dizzy spells that almost lead to fainting, and migraines.... Falling back asleep when I know I have to work with less than an hour to get ready. I am doing so good!
I used to love my job (keywords: used to) until a major staff change over within the managers, and it is happening again where I am now, the store manager was promoted, and the staff change within managers is about to occur...
I don't feel like I fit in at this store at all, I don't even really have any friends at this store, I don,t think anyone likes me anyways. A few things were said to me by a friend back home, and I just don't even want to work at McDonald's anymore....
McDonald's has a huge turnover rate, and is the lowest of low being a Fast Food Restaurant...
In the last two days I have been cut five hours because they have been sending me home early since we have been dead!
I can't get a job right now either because everyone is hiring for management, and I don't have the experience. I'll also never get into management because I don't know what it is....

The Snow is Gone

I want circle lenses... I cannot find circle lenses in Toric for the life of me... Not everyone has perfect eyes here! I would love to find grey, or green ones, that aren't around 80$.
Apparently my Dad is playing Pokémon again. I love my Dad. He was amazing at Pokémon Yellow, but he played it so much it burnt the battery out of it. My brother gave him Soul Silver to play.
The snow was all gone this morning. :) It was cold today though.
Orange Pop at work = Orange Fruitopia & Sprite. I also played in the play place on shit the other day. I was cleaning it, and decided to climb all the way up. I still get lost in them.
I have one episode left of SaiKano (Saishuu Heiki Kanojo), then I am going to watch the OVA if I can find it. I find the art style really different, but I love the story. Apparently the manga is different so I might read that too. I have wanted to watch this series forever, and now I am.
I was going to walk to the bus station Friday to go home... I looked at Google maps, not only is it trying to tell me to walk down the highway, the bus station is in a really annoying place, and was before then too. I'll get there faster by metro transit so I shall do that. So excited though!

A Little Bit of Everything

The fact that I am moving has snuck up on me, I move in two days.
Life has fell into place. I have an apartment, and a job set up. I feel like this is going to work.
I am dating again, which is unexpected because I have to leave him behind. Good thing we are both nerds, and we can keep in touch through WoW, and such.
I went to church for the first time in a long time, I don't even remember the last time I went. Due to work, and school in my first year I had to stop going I was so busy, but I stayed busy after I quit school. I feel so bad I was involved, and so faithful, and I know I strayed.
I have spent the last few weekends making cupcakes. I have made Rainbow Bits, Butter Pecan, and today I am making chocolate.
I have been playing some video games lately too. I was playing Mario Kart Wii with the Gamecube controllers, and I jerked the controller up, and ripped it out of the system. I was also very competitive.
I went with a friend to McDonald's last night, and we had some good laughs with the staff.moving, job, apartment

Busy in a Good Way

Two weeks ago I worked six days in a row so I didn't do a thing that week. I had time off this past week.
I went up, and checked the apartment, and I loved it; apparently the roommates are friends with someone I know, and are going to the same college I will be attending in the fall. I applied around at a few places, and my cousin is referring me at a few others. I was told by several places I could apply online, and even from McDonald's where I work, and I have seen the site a lot since it is on the receipts. Call me old fashioned but I believe in going in person, and dropping off everything. Life is falling into place finally. I almost got stranded at the transfer stop on the way home because it was storming, and they canceled all the buses for the rest of the day. My friend's father came to the rescue thankfully though, and I am so grateful. I already have a job interview so I went back Monday, I haven't had an interview in about three years since I got hired. It was a very quick interview, she asked short questions about my current job. Also, if you are in a situation like I was in if the staff tries to kick you out, that is ridiculous. I work in a restaurant setting, and I can't kick customers out after we are closed. Kicking me out in the middle of a storm when I am trying to figure out what is going on isn't right, I would have fought if they actually did, but they tried. I have to take the bus though I rather not... The train doesn't go through to that city but if it did I would be on the train rather than the bus.
The hotel I stayed in I got a good laugh at. I almost went flying walking across their shiny floors more than once. The alarm went off at five in the morning, so I was fidgeting around in the dark, and eventually turned it off. I roasted myself out because I didn't want to play to much with the heating. There was nothing interesting in any of the drawers, usually there is. :( It was a cheap, but lovely hotel.
So I was eating really old goldfish crackers, but I didn't get food poisoning, but honestly they tasted like the cupboard they were in. I know I said I learned my lesson about food, but what if their is no expiry date? Some stuff puts it in weird spots, and some don't even have expiry dates.
I was playing Tales of Symphonia with a friend, and Lord Botta wiped the floor with us. We used to be so good at that game too. We beat it several times, and now we suck at it. I lost my old memory card for the Gamecube so I bought a new one. I also tried playing the first Kingdom Hearts, and I have no clue what to do, and I am not even that far in the game. I miss gaming, that isn't World of Warcraft; speaking of which I almost posted in that blog instead of this one.
I finally got to hang out with a friend who I haven't hung out with in a while. Her schedule is always changing, and sometimes so is my mine; kind of like last week.
I hung out with my cousin, and we did what we do best. Talking, and reminiscing.
I went back up on Monday for my interview of course. I also checked out another apartment. I am going to have so much fun. I really like both apartments but I should really go for the cheaper one which I am. I met some really nice people in the process of looking for apartments. I managed to stop by my favourite store, and pick up a few plush toys, and another Yoshi for my collection. I picked up a copy of Black Ops for my brother since the first copy was destroyed. I ended up staying in the hotel I stayed in last week. I really love that hotel. I was in the room across from where I was last time. I pretty much roasted myself out with the heater because I left them as high as they could go in both rooms. The alarm didn't go off this time but I woke up at 5am, and rolled across the bed. I came back early because it is suppose to storm sometime between tonight, and tomorrow. My friend did my nails for me, and we talked about random things as well. It has been pretty good. I can't believe I will be moving in two weeks.

Summer with the Japanese Students So Far

So far I have had a lot of fun with the Japanese students. I feel closet to four, and they are all friends with each other. I met two the day before the scavenger hunt, and I met my conversation partner, and I met another one of her friends on the shopping trip this past weekend. While shopping with them I bought clothes from H&M, and Urban Outfitters. We will be going to Hopewell Rocks, and the Ranch nearby it this weekend, and I am quite excited. I have grown up in the Maritimes, and I know of Hopewell Rocks, but I have never been there, and I don't know where it is. That should be a fun trip. My conversation partner, and I also went to McDonald's with my Conversation Partner. She gave me a Purikura photo of her, and her friend, and I will keep that always. She also gave me, and my Dad each a pair of chopsticks. I can't wait to have more fun with them again sometime soon.
It is going to be really hard in August when they leave, I will miss them dearly.
