4/30/2006 Working...Did my first solos today at work...
My hand was shaking when I was doing an order for someone.. What if I screwed up and they had to pay $1299 for a book? Anyway, it proved okay, and when it wasn't, I asked the older co-workers.. I think I'm getting the hang of it, and besides the fact that my feet really hurt, the job is extremely pleasant and nice =) Yes, yes, my story is lagging.. Haven't worked on Darren since January I believe... So sad.. =( Oh well.. When are marks out anyway? Must check soon. 4/25/2006 WOWZERSOMG OMG I bought my shoes...!!
Okay, first of all, I cant believe it, I got them from SEARS!! First of all, I don't think I have EVER shopped at Sears, and to my amazement, they actually have decent things! I was under the idea that Sears is for old people =\ Anyhow, yes thats where I got them.. Second of all, it was cheap cheap.. Under 20 bucks.. However.. that's due to the fact that they only had that one pair left, and so it was cheap.. So the last pair, is a size 10, not a size 9W (my size), so it is kid of big and whenever I take a step, half my foot comes flying out... And also, the top of my foot presses against the edge of the shoe at the front, so it hurts a bit and I have red lines on the top of my feet.. Other than that, the shoe is PERFECT! I don't think I quite understood Brokeback Moutain... Did the Jack person die because people beat him to death because he's gay? The little memory flash thing his wife did while on the phone? Its kind of confusing.. If so, did she know the truth, and why did she lie then? 4/23/2006 Lucky DayMust go look for those damn work shoes...
I think this is the third shopping trip I am going on to find stupid work shoes... Today I wore my old brown shoes to work because its the dress code..
It was crap high and I was so sore by the time I was done... While on the way home from work I sprained my ankle and it was pink for a few hours... Then I went bowling with my co workers (Chapters paid for everything) and now my thumb is so sore.. I don't know what it is with my thumb and bowling... it always happens... I must say the three entire tables of food was too cool... We had tons of left overs... So yes, my feet, my ankles, my thumb... yippee... 4/21/2006 Well, well...Today I made the one of the first official sacrifices for work...
I took of my pink laces on my runners and left only the white laces.. (sob)... Cause our shoes can only be one color.. I still have to go get stupid black shoes... Argh... Three out of four of my next training days will be done with James!! One group training on Sunday with him, then 2 one-on-one training! XD I haven't seen him yet. That is just the closest to a "celebrity" I have gotten... Lalalala... I want to watch the movie now ~ ~ Brokeback Mountain ~ ~ 4/20/2006 Merde PooGot my English paper back.
This has got to be the crappiest mark I have ever gotten in any type of writing... I failed a freaking "final essay" paper.. Ohh, wait, failed is an understatement... I missed the criteria by a long shot, and he spoke to me and he said "I had no choice, it was all over the aissgnment sheet and our course outlines and we talked about it everyday in class"... People who knew me from highschool said "Yeah, but Annie doesn't GO to class..." Thanks a lot, I feel much better now, guys. Second day of training at Chapters is tomorrow..
On Sunday, is our employee bowling thing and I'm supposed to really try to make it because "it's a good chance to know everyone"... Yes, yes, good reason, but I'd love to go anyhow. But the morning of Sunday I have to be at Chapters too cause it's my third day of training... James, the stunt double from Brokeback Mountain is training me!!! AIIEEEEEE... Josie was like "James is really busy now... but he comes back to work every few months just to hang out... I got him to do your training. I thought you'd like it, because he is very handsome..." My boss has only seen me three times, and already she knows me so well. Anyhow, James was the one with the hat pulled down at the beginning, he was the one in all the naked scenes, and yes, he was the one that jumped off the cliff... I know, I know, *GASP*... "But... but that ruins EVERYTHING!" Says my co-worker.. The cruel lessons life teaches... Yes, but she should know by now that no smart actor jumps off a cliff... ..... On second thought no one smart jumps off a cliff... ... But if he is cute I guess it's alright. Maybe I should watch the movie. 4/18/2006 ARGHHHHHHOkay, spent a day at queensborough and metro, still no shoes!!!
WTF IS WRONG WITH ME??? *grabbing hair* On the other hand, the training is today and too bad for me, I will wear runners.. It will be more comfortable anyway... And if for any reason a customer screams "HELLPPPP HELLLLPPP! I need to find a Harry Potter book NOW!!! HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!" from across the store, I will be the first to get there because I am wearing runners, and I will save her life. The other people can go "clickity clack clack" slowly across the store... I will, however, keep looking for formal shoes. That AREN'T 4 inches tall... Nice, flat, formal shoes.. Flat-ish, anyway... 4/16/2006 FailureFour hours of shopping and I still couldn't find a pair of shoes for work... How sad is that? I did buy two pairs of black pants though, thank god.. Am going to Queensborough Landing on Monday to looks for shoes, then Metrotown... Starting training on Tuesday at Chapters.. Oooh, I love books.. MUA HA HA HA HA!! 20,995,200 seconds until Eragon the movie. 4/14/2006 Shopping day aheadGoing to hit RC tomorrow, have to get some black shoes, which I should have but tragically dont (which girl doesnt have black shoes??)....
Perhaps some dress pants too... Dunno... ~ I am such a picky shoe buying person though So I do hope I find something I like, as I probabaly need them for work... ...WORK! My god, I am so glad I am saying "work" instead of "school".. It's still an obligation, and god knows, i hate obligations, but it's a different obligation and at least I have variety and can get off school for a semester.. Ooh, I am SO keen.. I cannot wait for finals to finish, then I am finally into my summer.. Speaking of which, my plan for the summer is work and work.. The first "work" being Chapters, and the second one being taking my laptop to the library lots and working on my story, which has been cast aside for.... the last four months.. hahahahahahaaaa... I laugh because I am not quite sure what else I can say to that. Anyway, taking my lap top to the library would be easier if I had a laptop.. I have been looking at one but need my dad (the paying person) to agree with me on a certain one, which means I won't get one anytime soon, if I have learned anything about my dad in the last eighteen years of my life.... My life is filled with pathetic-ness and crap-osity... I do not even have a person to go shoe shopping with. Everyone one is busy. With work or finals. I have finals but I'm not studying am I? So why can't anyone else just slack off like me? Vair, vair uncool. 4/13/2006 Gots to keep movinSucks.
Out of impatience I called the dance people again. This time spoke to a much more reliable woman named Wendy. She told me off the top of her head whats goin on, and IF I wanna start with Heather it looks like we are talking September. SEPTEMBER? I will have forgotten everything by then!! I have only been idle for a WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR, YOU PEOPLE!!! ( sob, sob ) Anyway, went to the Chapters interview yesterday, they asked a whole bunch of questons that passed me by in a blurb, thank god I think the things I said made sense. Then had to do a stupid math test (all the things I do to get out of math, here it is again), and an alphabeticalizing thing, where there were 20 authors with the last names starting SAU... As if I really needed the coffee blenders at Starbucks going "NENNNNNENENNNNNNNNNN!NENENENENENENNNNNN!!!!!" every thirty seconds.... Managed to live through that and gave the finished test to them, pretending I wasn't fazed. I have an Anthro final in an hour and a half, then English final after that. Five hours of finals, yey! Nothing like it to refresh my mind. Poo. 4/9/2006 Phooey"We'll get back to you tomorrow," said the dance people...
Well, today is "tomorrow"'s tomorrow already, and I happen to know they dont work today... so the soonest they'll call back is "tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow", and that wasn't what she said. Sigh... Anyhow, looked at the lap tops, and the one that looks the best right now is a Toshiba Satellite... I odnt know how impressive that sounds, but at least it fits most of what I want...
"I have yet to see an ugly lap top," someone told me. YOU LIAR. Half the good ones at Best Buy were ugly and thats why I didn't want them... Who would make a dark dirty orange plastic looking lap top and make it the only color that model can come in? I was so sure it would come in other colors... Well, shock, shock. 4/7/2006 HungryMy mom called at 4:30 and said that she was going to bring food home for me...
It's 7:04... == So I just called her and she says "Oh, sorry, well, I'll go buy food now..." Sigh.... I called the dance people and asked for Heather (my hip hop idol)... She is AWESOME... She is one of those dancers who say "I'll count you through this, we'll just mark it first", and then somewhere in the middle you start doing it full out and at the end she is panting harder than you... I love those dancers, they are so into it... Anyway, the woman is like "well, I will have to see if Heather can give you private time, I'll get back to you"... How discouraging..... (sniff) I'm hungry T.T
7:21..... >< 4/6/2006 BedShopped around for a stupid bed..
I hate furniture shopping.. Argh, the Matress guy gave me three stuffed animal pink sheep.. Serta's sales are fanatics... Anyhow, kinda got most things settled now.. Refurnishing my room ONLY cost a few thousand daollars.. sigh... The sad thing is, though...
I've thought about it, and besides a laptop, I dont want anything... Like kids if you ask them, they can pull 20 or 30 things they want to buy off the top of their head... And all I want is a laptop... I must be losing my touch...
Crap.
Sigh..
I want shoes though... 4/5/2006 ChaptersOkay, so went to the Chapters Group Interview today at 2:30.. Far drove me and waited while I went in... There were 5 of us interviewees, and only one was a guy... The interviewers were these two super nice ladies.. So it lasted till about 3:30... Then I came out and told Far about it... We went to go have lunch, then caught the 5:30 Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown.. Okay I must say I was disappointed... It was cute at times and almost funny, but definately not as good as I imagined. I didn't even watch Ice Age I... The movie finished and we went to go have ice cream and I saw a missed call on my cell.. Chapters lady had called me back to set up another interview... WOOOOOOT!! So I called her back and interview #2 (one-on-one style) is April 12th, 1:30... GO GET 'EM! 4/4/2006 InterviewGot a call from Chapters yesterday...
"You dropped off your resume a while ago, were you still interested in work?" "A while ago was like, four months ago! And I was never interested in work, but I was looking for it anyway..." No, I wish I could have replied that. Anyway, have a group interview at 2:30 tomorrow.. I hate group interviews, there is that pressure to make yourself stand out.. Without falling on your face or barfing. I meant stand out in a good way. So anyhow, off to some interview tomorrow..
I was wondering if I should dress casual (the way the people who work there dress) or dress formal, as it IS an interview... Settling for black pants and white top... Not extremely formal, no dress shirt, no dress pants... But the colors are there... At least I'm not wearing jeans. I want to be cashier, but I'm not so good at math..
The cash machine WILL make the calculations for me... Cause I heard working on the floor as a bouncer is hard work. Sigh... I wish I could work at Coles in Richmond Centre... 4/2/2006 Mmmm YummyI washed my hammie just now and he smells so good..
All soapy and soft... When I kiss him he freezes.... hahahahahahaaaa... So cute XD And soft... and furry! I love hammie.. Eventually he will die, most likely within a few months, and then I will be sad.. But I will get another hammie, although washing and changing the cage is so annoying... He is currently washing his face... With his spit... Which is kind of gross if you think about it... But he is so cute and anything that cute can be gross all it wants. So cute....
Aieeeee I have a crush on my hammie!! 4/1/2006 HopelessnessIts been about... Three months, I'd say, since I lastworked on my story... I'm also thinking about going back and changing some of the beginning.. I had the ideas before Eragon, but then if I'm really gonna publish it, I dont want misunderstandings on plagerism... ( sigh ) Anyhow, am excited.. And I have lots of movies I wanna watch, but I have no idea why I haven't been able to watch them... Eager for GW expansion, Factions... Hurry, hurry.. come April 28th!! |
