Hally Been Apples

Still not sure what I'm doing about the job thing... think I'll go on EI for a bit for a little vacation but not too long cuz I'll get super bored.
But anyways, the point of this post is to link up my pics from last night. Cerra and I were 30's gangsta like chicks... was quite fun really... went with Brock, Cerra and Rob although Rob had to work in the morning (his job is supposed to be 8 hours a day 5 days a week... this week its like 13 hours 7 days a week... nice paycheque for him though apparently... I told him to shove it hehe I'm still bitter about jobs and paycheques now haha)
Anyways... hope all have a great halloween or not... whatever (Australia apparently doesn't have halloween.)
Cheers.

Well now...

So here's the newest scoop. The job that I didn't like, although I was still good at (you should see the mistakes I fixed and the organization I brought to the back warehouse), doesn't seem to like me. I guess my over working and over enthusiastic ability to make things run properly stepped on my managers toes cuz she already didn't like me cuz she hated my dad (and vice versa) so her and the owner had a discussion today and he brought me in the office and she gets to win cuz they are laying me off now because I don't suit the warehouse (which wasn't what I was hired for anyways but I still did the best out of anyone there as I've memorized everything in under 2 months and organized it so that others can find stuff... I even found stock they didn't know they had bah.) and they won't put me in the office because I don't know the program they work with and neither do any of them because its new... cuz that makes sense. Whatever. I don't care... I don't like it there... but I still got really upset because its really unfair that I don't even get to defend myself because Debbie was sitting right there... I couldn't even say what a bag with attitude she was to me no matter what I did... ugh. And he told me he's seen me using the phone up front on several occasions... perhaps... but on my lunch break and he told me when I started I could cuz I couldn't use my cell... so bah. Only phone call I ever got was my mother today and just after that I got told they were laying me off but giving me a month to find other employment. Bah.... Bah I say... I'd rather go on EI and have a little vacation for once... seeing how retarded this is. Anyways, my dad is apparently getting set to write a letter to the owner of the company with me and he was so upset today that he contemplated just walking in and quitting... apparently he and I are not the only ones who've noticed how well I've done there... but who cares what anyone else thinks but Debbie... it's funny cuz he called Debbie his "buddy" and all I was thinking was f*** buddy... vulgar but it explains a lot however untrue it might be... still. So that was my story... today was not my day... hit myself in the head with the warehouse door this morning... tried to take out my eye on a zap strap on the 5th pallet I did by myself in the past two days (yep I unloaded hundreds and hundreds of pounds worth of stuff while Debbie sat on her butt ... and I didn't once complain... I worked super hard cuz I thought I had something to prove... all I proved was that it doesn't matter how much effort you put into something if someone higher than u hates ur guts for no reason... bah.)
Retardedness... I'm just a little bitter but I'll be ok... I'm better off elsewhere anyways... somewhere that people don't hate you for being related to someone they don't like... not my fault... I didn't ask to be his daughter haha ;)

anyways... its late and I need to be up early... got loads of stuff to get done.
I will keep u updated on my employment saga as it unfolds I'm sure. Hope all is well elsewhere in the world.
Cheers.

Teachers Strike is over.

So the news just came in that tomorrow I am back at school which means I probably have a quiz tomorrow on stuff I studied two weeks ago. Must go and work on that tonight cuz I doubt I remember it... am kinda scared LOL i dunno what's going on? Also, my project was due last week but because we haven't had school in ever I dunno whats going on with that and I'm nto done it either :sigh: I didn't know whether it was supposed to be in essay form or what... so who knows how that will go.. .its completely messed up.
Today was a great day. Brock, my friend from Perth Australia finally made it to Canada and I quite like his accent... it reminds me a bit of Bekki's. I kept making him say words and I kept giggling at things he'd say LOL... it was great fun. I quite like having him around... although it does make me miss Bekki alot :sigh: but we went to the bar... and then we went and played some lazer tag... but because he is quite jet lag from his trip... we let him go home by 9pm hehehe... am now at the end of a family dinner and am just writing a quick update. Hope all is well. Shall be doing lots of sightseeing this next little while with my e-wifey and Brock... and perhaps Rob if he's up for it. Should be good times. Hope everything went well Mavis... would love to hear from you.
Cheers.

Teacher's strike

So here's a quick note to let you know that although I had memorized my prefixes and suffixes quite well (thank you) and spent over an hour trying to get from work to school on time... which was a pain and kinda stressful. When I got to the school there were no cars and it was all dark inside... I met one of my classmates going back to her car and asked what was going on. Because BC is in the middle of a teacher's strike, my classes are cancelled until it's over AND NOT because my teacher is actually part of the union but because the janitors and security staff would not attend the school so hence it would not be open :sigh: all that effort. I was not pleased... especially since I am paying for school now and not getting it AND the fact that I like it. So here's the update on work. Raelene was the one who originally trained me before Debbie came back and has been informing that Debbie really doesn't like me and showed me the date book where on MANY occassions I have been written in the book as arriving late (not actually listing any times though) but never does it mention that I stayed late (didn't leave till 10 after today although I was 5 minutes early... betcha that didn't go in the book) she also seemed to think they were thinking of letting me go even though I work my butt off back there :sigh: my dad seems to think she is well intentioned but very wrong, seeing as if they had a problem they would probably mention something to him... especially since they had to go through him to decide on my hourly wage LOL whatever. Anyways... I'm not too concerned... not much I can do about it anyways... I can't wait to finally advance into a career I truly enjoy though. The lack of stress at my current place is a nice chance to the office job but still retarded in its own way but I guess most places are. Whatever. The company's owner is gone for a couple weeks to China so I doubt anyone else would fire me, although they have hired his neice to start in the back although we really aren't busy... so maybe they'll move me to the office or possibly lay me off... kinda hoping for the latter if at all because I can go on EI then and get a vacation out of this year bahahah sad I know... but better than being fired. Who knows.... anyways... that's my update... wish me luck on going back to school... apparently the strike might last quite awhile... sux.

Turkey Day

So Happy Thanksgiving to all to start. Am online to look up a shepherd's pie recipe to make for turkey dinner tonight. Originally, Cerra and Rob and I were going to join my family, but Cerra is really sick so perhaps tis just Robert and I. I didn't go to bed until after 3 last night as I got online, did laundry and tried to do a bit of studying. (I have to memorize 10 prefixes and 10 suffixes plus their definitions and examples plus the definitions of the examples... for Wednesday LOL) and next week my project is due and I haven't really started. Am hoping to do a little at grandma's tonight as I don't have a printer... may look stuff up and e-mail it to myself there... or take notes... who knows, but whatever I do I can't print because I've asked my dad to hook up the printer here and lo and behold I still don't see one (who would've thunk he'd not do it for weeks and weeks :sigh: and I don't know where anything is to try it myself) am debating going and buying a new one and saying screw it. I might look at one while I'm out getting the ingredients for Shepherd's pie (there won't be that many LOL) i figure my plan of attack would be to study while doing the shepherd's pie but that might be a bit too much multi-tasking even for me LOL I have a couple of the prefixes down already and perhaps a couple of the suffixes, so I have a start already LOL tomorrow night i'm watching muppet movies with a friend so I won't have too much time to do it. Went to the wedding of Rob's friends on Saturday and had quite a lot of fun. Rob has pictures of us I believe, but I haven't really seen them yet, so none to post for now. Either way, I got to meet some old friends of Rob and actually our whole table (and then some) got on quite well all day/night... it was rather entertaining... plus I created my own highball and was VERY impressed... tis my new favorite (I'm sure other people have already done it but I hadn't heard of it yet and neither had the lady doing the drinks cuz she repeated it to me with a weird look)... vanilla twist vodka and coke... sounds normal enough LOL tastes like vanilla coke :) mmm twas yummy but really deadly LOL I only had two... no making "Sher's and alcoholic" faces! Sunday (yesterday) Rob and i went to the states to meet up with my parents but my alarm didn't go off (not impressed with the alarm on this phone : ) so we were quite late... either way we did some shopping and went to a buffet (ohh are they ever good LOL ) and ended up at the casino, where yet again... Rob won money and I lost it... seriously... God hates me for going to the casino... I'm not going to bother again. (thankfully I'm a smarty pants and only try with $10 possibly the other reason why I don't win anything... goes by faster than the $20 Rob plays with LOL) Anyways... need to get cracking today as it's almost 11 am and it's POURING with rain outside (yeah who would have thunk it?).... hope everyone has either a good Thanksgiving or holiday monday (or whatever it might be in Australia... HAPPY TUESDAY PERHAPS?!) hehehe

Cheers.

Ugh shoes

Looks like my new steel toed boots are not getting along well with my feet. Surprisingly, I don't feel too horrid for working on my feet all day other than my shoes. Also, I can't seem to get to view my blog so hence am creating a new one. Have tried to start my christmas shopping but so far the things I want to get people aren't coming together as planned and I'm getting frustrated. Have decided to set aside some time to make christmas cards and crafts every week in an effort to keep my sanity as, between school and work and a social life, I haven't left much time for sleep or me so I will be adjusting that after the next couple of weeks (have been booked pretty steady for awhile now)... this weekend looks busy too... thanksgiving monday won't be too bad I hope even though I have roped myself into baking/cooking a bit for it... but have done that numerous occasions and haven't had any food poison victims to speak of quite yet. Anyways, should get going as I have a wifey date to attend to hehe... we are going shopping... yet more time on my feet, but at least my runners are comfy! Cheers!

A week later

ok, so in the past week of school I've managed to retain information not only on roundworms (quite fascinating really) but also tape worms, which are host specific (meaning they don't transfer to humans unless it's an accidental host... boring to u perhaps... very interesting to me)... I've also memorized a number of prefixes and have been given a new set of sheets for both prefixes and suffixes to memorize... as much as this sounds like work I've never enjoyed three hours of class as much as I do right now... it totally makes me feel like I made the right choice in taking this class. I have my first quiz today on the prefixes I had and I got 100% (but there really weren't that many)... I think the suffixes will be harder... although ectomy will be easy hehe it means the cutting out of... hence hysterectomy although in animals its called an ovariohysterectomy cuz they take out both the ovaries and the uterus (hyster)... theres some knowledge for ya! I really love my class so far... there are only 8 of us (one with a very lovely long mullet) and all different ages... completely different. Work is going ok... the days seem to differ between going pretty quickly and dragging on FOREVER! and I never seem to be home any more to get things done and I'm pretty tired a lot but I'm coping rather well. Have been on a diet for a bit and have lost over 10 pounds now... I'm totally psyched. This weekend is Rob's friends wedding and I finally managed to find and buy a gorgeous dress that I totally love but would also be improved on by another 10 pounds disappearing haha :) I haven't too much else to say, my life has been pretty hectic lately with school and homework (yep already had an assignment due and done thank u!) and I quite like it... although a little relaxing time would be super as well but we can't have everything in life LOL... hope all are well!

Cheers!
