Wow, it's been awhile since I've updated on here. I think after vacation I had no interesting stories to tell. And while work hasn't changed at all it hasn't been that interesting. Although, we do have a new girl and she fancies herself to be a bit of a Cake Boss. She has been watching me decorate telling me I look like a robot and that I'm not ( Read more... )

When we moved in I think that the hardest decision we had to make was wall color. Everything else was an easy choice or was made easy for us. But we had to pick one color, and only one color. Anything else would have added a few mortgage payments on. Not interested. So we agonized for weeks with ideas. We did have a few days of lavender walls ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been so boring lately. It's a little sad. Work has been an issue. Now that my manager has taken over the scheduling it's been interesting. He does manage to give me days off together, which I truly appreciate. It's just that owing to a weird quirk it usually means I work 7-9 days, get 2 days off and then work a day or two and ( Read more... )

Tracy always feels superior to me when she hears work stories because for the most part she doesn't have to deal with these sorts of people. Yes, the industry I work in has a lot of crazy people. It happens. After awhile it gets really tiring. I try to find the humor in it, really I do. The worst part is when the crazies come back. I'm sure ( Read more... )

We had someone come to the door!! I'll admit, I was hesitant to talk to them. And he looked like he was selling something so we went back to watching the tv show without talking to him ( Read more... )

The festive season is finally over. It feels like Christmas and New Years flew by. But it's nice that everything is getting back to normal. And now it means that work should be nice and quiet for a few months which I really appreciate. Christmas in retail is always incredibly insane. Christmas eve was a bit of a gong show, of course the debit ( Read more... )

It's been a strange week and the holiday spirit seems to have been beaten out of me. But then I came home today and my sister amused me. I guess the mooch has gotten irritated with his insurance company so he went car shopping with his mom instead of waiting for his settlement. (As an aside here he really seems to hate his mother. So why he ( Read more... )

So here's the background. I came home from work and was fighting with the cable box to make it work. A cord came unplugged yet I didn't notice so I was getting irritated. In the middle of this all of a sudden Wally has gone bat shit crazy. She's hissing and sounds angry. I assume it's from Catie "trying to play", ie. tries to kill Wally cause ( Read more... )

Now that vacations are done for the last few weeks of the year we're actually fully staffed for once. So instead of my usual baking jobs I'm doing the peripheral jobs, like donuts and cake decorating. Which feels really strange. Donuts are a hit and miss job, mostly because the women working at tim hortons are bitches. I don't have a nicer way ( Read more... )

My reign of terror is over at work. Well, it's not really that much terror. But vacations are finally done for the year and I don't have to be in charge for a few months. This stretch has gone slightly better as I didn't have any 5 am wake up calls! Yeah me! And the drama seems to have been mostly confined to days when I wasn't in charge. The ( Read more... )
