This morning I had an orientation at the store I'm going to be working at. Everyone I'm going to be working with seems really nice, and the manager is a huge dork who never stops cracking jokes. They showed us around and explained what we'll be doing until the store opens. The store is basically empty, so we'll mostly be setting up shelves and ( Read more... )

Tom had a rough evening friday, so he stayed over here and we drank and played Rock Band until the wee hours in the morning, and then sat in my room watching some crazy British guy explore the Japanese underground porn industry. (Oh, the things Showcase airs after 2am ( Read more... )

Good news, ladies and germs - I got a job ( Read more... )

I spent the whole day today (and most of last week, actually) thinking in circles. I was going to write a big long entry about how this thing is driving me insane, how much time I've wasted on it, how it practically haunts me and how I wish I had someone I could talk to about it, and that I should've been able to work past it by now.

If I stay til next friday I'm buying Rock ( Read more... )

Temp job is going well. I will probably work the rest of this week at least, and if things work out the way my Dad seems to think they will with the paychecks, I *should* be getting about $600 this friday. Which would be absolutely spectacular ( Read more... )

Working at my Dad's new work today was great. There are only 5 other people that work there, which is a huge change for my Dad because he used to work with hundreds of other people. The building and warehouse are very small, but there's enough work to be done there. I basically took very poorly packaged airplane parts and re-packaged them, and then ( Read more... )

Something I forgot to mention a while ago: My dad got a new job. He retired at Air Canada and his new job is similar to his old one, but much less stressful, with better hours, better pay, and it's closer. Which is a good thing. Yesterday was his first day ( Read more... )

HEY GUYS.

The assholes at Facebook decided to delete my account without giving me warning. I've started a new account, so please add me again!

(What a huge fucking pain in the ass to have to start my account all over. I lost my massive score on Friends trivia! T_T)
