Work really has taken over my life. This is why I was in no rush to be done university and get out there in the world on the career path :P I don't know why you'd wanna cut down your time in post-secondary education just to start workin. Unless you already know what you wanna do and you find somethin right away and you really like it...but what are the chances of that?? The mission to finish school early just means you add on another yr of work and honestly, you'll be workin the REST OF YOUR LIFE. What's the difference between 39 yrs and 40 yrs? At least take that one yr for yourself, to have some fun. Take your time!

Or maybe I'm just delayed but whatever.

Geez, I haven't gone out out since that weekend of the Aussies. Sad. Nuthin Fri night, but I think that was just a lack of effort on comin up with ideas. I didn't end up havin to take Evan's shift on Sat morning so that was a big "Thank GOD!"

I got cocky about how much I made during the week that I was all, I can make next to nothing and I'll be fine. Then I realized I had to at least try cuz I still had a small amount of $10 or so :P And I definitely made that so I finally and officially had a good sales week! I can be like a little kid showin their mom what they just made and go to Clarence and be like, "Look! Look!"

My shift was supposed to be done at 7:30 and I was pretty pleased that I didn't hafta close that night. It meant I could chill for a bit when I got home and eat and shower and take my time gettin ready before headin out. I was all hyped...Sat night, finally, I'm gettin off earlier, goin clubbin or whatever.

First, I was at work anothe hr or so I had to cover at cash. It was a whole 'someone at Customer Service hadn't gone on their lunch yet so they needed to take their half hr, and someone had to cover at Customer Service, so they needed someone else at cash and poor Ty the closing manager couldn't find anyone cuz it was just a poor scheduling thing'. So I was bein nice...cuz I was done and I don't get paid for this :P

Yeah, I didn't even go out! I was so close. I was on the phone with Al, G and L separately and we were settled on hittin a bar and we were almost to the point of gettin ready and headin out but my sleepiness got the best of me. I had called Al about an hr earlier about plans and she had just gotten up from a nap and was in her jammies. When I got off the phone with her, she was sayin "OK, guess I'll change my clothes". I was tired from the beginning of all this but I was determined to go out and figured I just needed motivation. I was all, I'm sure I'll get energized later on. But I was just so sluggish and thinkin about how I needed to be up in the morning for work just won over me. I called Al back and was like, are you still in your PJs? Good, stay in them, haha. I suck.

And then a whole 'nother day of work on Sun. I was expecting better traffic and sales but it was a surprisingly slow day too. Our morning 'meeting' consisted of talkin about tea for half an hr. I love when Ty and Jim are the managers...they don't care, you can do anythin. Everythin's so much more relaxed. Then Clarence came in and it was back to business.

Sun night was the only time I semi went out. Deb was bouncin off the walls at home so she just wanted me and L to come out with her for a bit. To Starbucks we went, except it was retardedly busy so we went to Timothy's. I had a Kahlua Latte cuz I was attracted to the concept of 'hey if I can have somethin alcoholic-y with my coffee, why not?' But that'll teach me cuz it kinda made me sick later on.

Today was actually decent. I kind of made up for yesterday since I came up short. Oh baby, if I could be on lock for these 2 weeks, then it's a paycheque without subsidy! That's a big deal. I think I've had that...once.

Dare I say it? Today was good. I got PSP, I made enough for my shift, and besides the periods of boredom at the beginning, it was fun with the boys near the end. It's all guys except for me and Shalaine so it gets kind of ridiculous when we're closing.

I got a pricey camera for Pris' brother Kenny on staff purchase (it was on the dl...he gave me cash and I was dealin out like $1200 in bills, haha), stopped by their house so I chatted with Pris for a bit. I had to play it off that I was buyin it for friend as a present *wink* ("You get your friends thousand dollar cameras??" LOL) so it was all under my code, with my name on the warranty plan, and I had to be the one takin it and not Kenny carryin it out. Not that anybody in the store really cared but I hope nobody at head office or whatever combs over the paperwork and smells somethin fishy cuz they've been really crackin down on unauthorized purchases and schemes to get friends and anybody else who kinda knows you to get discounts.

I wrote a lot. I'm goin to bed. Absolutely sleepin in tomorrow.
