The entire weekend off...sweet. Only cuz Evan is takin my Sat shift and Sun is Christmas :P But whatever, a holiday's a holiday. And then Boxing Day, the scariest of scary days.

I even got called into the manager's office today for it. I thought I was in trouble or somethin but they just wanted to prep everybody for the big event on Mon.

There wasn't a whole lotta point of bein at the store at 8 am, hardly anyone came in. They were expecting the last-min shoppers to invade today but I guess that'd be more in the evening so I missed all that. I sold a decent amount...about $80 commissions. Some man bought a camera/printer bundle, plus photo paper, memory card, and a case. Beautiful. He just bought everythin I threw at him...except PSP :P

Maybe cuz I'm on the rag or maybe cuz my patience is startin to wear thin but I'm startin to get really irritated by customers. Most are fine, it's just the ones who keep askin questions but interrupt me with another question when I'm tryin to answer them. Like wtf, don't ask if you don't wanna hear the answer.

I didn't even get off at 4 like I was supposed to. I had to stick around til I finished up with a customer who ended up not buyin what we were goin for. Nice guy but if I'm gonna stay an extra half an hr for nothing, then eff that. And I (and anybody at Customer Service) didn't have time to do those commission flips again. Oh well, maybe I'll go in tomorrow even tho I'm not scheduled to work. I dunno when else I'd get to do them when it's not crazy busy. Good day today by standards tho...even if I had to be there 9 hrs startin from the morning.

Man, I haven't gone out out in a while. Was kinda tired today. I fell asleep on the couch a couple hrs after I got home. Then I tried to make it to the liquor store for Vick's present but they were closed. Then I got G's present and went to her house to chill for a bit. Then we picked up Sarah from work and dropped by Al's house to give her her presents too.

Yesterday me, L, G, and Vick were at BP and it was some quality time. Sucks the Leafs lost (but won today!). We exchanged Christmas cards and chocolates. Holy crap, this group and their M&Ms. I have so many lil M&M dispenser toys and there was so much chocolate to be eaten...haha, fat. Then me, Vick, and L went to Vick's to dye her hair. Apparently I'm the dye girl of the bunch cuz I do everybody's at-home colouring for them. Wow, Vick's house is crazy...they have a lot of ppl in the house so they had like 50 presents under/around the tree.

What to do, what to do tomorrow? I'd think about goin to the mall but that's just pure madness. We'll see. I should at least hit the liquor store again and drop off L and P's presents and then I should be done.

Oh yeah! Angela's home!! :D She's back from Japan for the holidays for about 2 weeks. That girl. Her friggin phone line was cut off and her computer's been busted for like a month so she didn't read her bday email from me last month til now. And Jason and Christine are home! Everybody's back. So awesome. I hope I have time to see everybody. So it's the chick from Japan, the couple from Texas, and the dude from England all in town :)

Um, yesterday was kinda crappy...had cramps but had to go to work anyway...wasn't in the mood to be there and deal with ppl...didn't sell a lot. Came home and basically had to go to bed after an hr to get up for today. Was still frickin dark out when I got up this morning. Today was pretty much the same as yesterday. Did a lot of merchandising...dusting, puttin up peg hooks, Spider-wrappin boxes til my fingers hurt, and such. At least I made budget. And I hafta do another a commission flip...these CSR girls, man! I was right there in front of them sayin what my code was and it still didn't go thru. And normally I'd let it go cuz I don't care all that much about commission for 10 dollars or so, I mean it doesn't kill me...but of course those purchases also had PSPs on them and I need to have them on my records. I DO wanna stay on after the holiday season and if they wanna keep me, they'll look at these kinda things. Not to be anal, cuz if it were up to me, I wouldn't care less.

Anyway, such is life. I saw Mrs. FS at work, my old hs drama teacher! Wow, I can't believe how long I've been outta hs. Hee, I just realized that I ran into...Mrs. FS in FS (Future Shop) :P

Nothing else much to speak of. Vick's sister was in the store the other day. I keep seein ppl I know. Godwin, Paula, and Dionne were in today so that passed the time in a good way. Ali was on crack or somethin but he makes me laugh..."I was walkin and I think I got a spiderweb in my mouth." LOL

Me, Evan, L, and Godwin were supposed to go watch King Kong tonight but Godwin doesn't get off til at least 10 and the latest show we probably won't make it in time. Plus it's a 3 hr movie and I have to be at work at 7:30 tomorrow, eesh. So Leafs game and drinks at BP it is!

I still haven't gotten everybody's presents yet. It's not like I'm gettin hundred dollar items, just lil stocking stuffer things. We don't do the whole Christmas present exchange (friends or family) but there are cards that go around and since I'm workin this yr, I figured I'd just get a lil somethin for ppl like gift certificates. Of course, I've only been workin not even 2 months so I'm not RICH so that's why they all won't be gettin electronics or somethin. Those damn bdays wiped me out :P

So yeah, me, P, and L went to the mall yesterday. It was a Tues afternoon so at least it wasn't so packed that I wanted to kill myself.

We met P's bf Mario finally! She called him and he came down and we all went to Jack Astor's for drinks and whatnot. We've talked about him since the day they started goin out MONTHS ago, we knew what he looked like, and still, we hadn't met him til that point. Vick came by later on too. It was good times. I got tipsy, we played pool, it was jokes.

So the big news is...Darien's comin back for about a week. He'll be here on Mon for the holidays. I have no comment for this :P Me and Al talked on the phone for 2 hrs about it so I think I don't wanna get into that. Maybe later.

Well that's that. Work today 4-10. And then the insanity that is Christmas hrs startin tomorrow morning at 7:30, GAH.

I can actually say work was good today. I mean, it's not bad most days but I don't think I've had absolutely nothing to complain about. I also don't think I've sold as much as I did today. I racked up about $120 in commissions, yayuh! Made decent money, everybody I dealt with was friendly, it was hectic but not so chaotic that I wanted to kill myself. I hafta do a commissions flip again tho cuz some stuff didn't show up under my code and those ppl had bought a PSP too so you can bet your ass I'm gonna get that on my record.

Dionne the rep from Telus was in so we both tried passin the time when it was the calm of the storm and we had jack to do. I ran into the metal corner of the display shelf as I was dashin around to the other side to help a customer. I underestimated gettin around it and I just got it on my hip, like near my pants pocket so I thought I ripped it. The customer and Dionne caught all of it. I just said, "Nobody saw anythin!" Haha.

I wanna go to the 50 Cent/G-Unit/Rhianna concert tomorrow but doesn't look like that's gonna happen. I guess that money will go towards Christmas goodies, haha.

No work tomorrow so I'll be shoppin. Mostly for other ppl...cuz I'm good like that :P

Nothing interesting this weekend.

Chilled out at home Sat, put the Christmas tree and lights up, I dunno what else. Got my new driver's licence. Uhhh...better than the one before I guess but still not ideal :P

Worked today 12:30-6:30. Not bad, didn't open and didn't close. Was pretty busy. It's the last weekend before Christmas so all the crazies are out tryin to do their shoppin. I was goin almost non-stop. You wouldn't think you'd hafta run so much for a retail job.

I was on the phone for a good 15 mins on hold to do a Future Shop Card check/fix for a customer when it didn't go thru and I would've given up but it was such a gem: good commission camera AND they wanted the PSP. That's, Product Service Plan aka 12% for me. The managers aren't too impressed with our dept cuz our PSP rate is at 2% when it should be about 7. I sold a bunch, and a couple of PSPs so that should pad it up a bit.

L, Godwin, Dini, and Evan were all in today so that was fun. And I went to lunch with Travis. I love my FS buddies.

Kimmy's brother Jason was in the store too. Apparently he's friends with Kevin whose in Mobile. I remember when Jason like 14 and now he's in university and tall and works out. We're not supposed to look at Kim's little brother that way! Haha. Re: Audrey at Kim's party.

That's it, really. Work tomorrow 3-10 but only cuz me and Evan had to switch shifts cuz he has an exam. I'm really glad about havin less opening shifts this week tho! Esp since they're gettin earlier on the 22nd to the 24th. Gettin up at 6 am, geezus. It's so nice sleepin in.
