Well I've been doin jack today. Actually, that's not true...I've done laundry and put new sheets on my bed and burned a CD for Al and put up all my pictures online finally. Excitement.

I'll be goin out to pick up L in about an hr to go chill at G's house, complete with adult beverages ;) And we might meet up with Godwin after that too, I dunno.

Yellowcard's new CD comes out on Tues! They're gonna be doin so much publicity in town this month for it...contests, an HMV autograph signing (I HAVE to make it to that - that's why I asked for that day off from work, haha), an MOD appearance on Muchmusic, and some Edge show at the Mod Club. I gotta buy the CD from HMV when it comes out so I can get tickets to the signing the week after. That'd kick so much ass.

Besides that, I don't wanna talk about much else. Why do I get all the drama-ramas?? All the ppl who have issues and make big deals of everythin? Am I a magnet? Should I be a mediator or therapist when I'm older? Eesh.

Open til 4 today, not as brutal as it usually is. Travis was workin too. That guy :) I didn't make too much but I didn't even care cuz if there aren't a lot of customers in the store and not even a lot of stock, what can I do. I merchandised and called customers whose layaways were in. This customer of mine pickin up a camcorder, was a pretty young woman with crazy cool green eyes brought her baby with her yesterday and he was THE cutest thing! And he wasn't wailing or fussy in any way either. Those are the best babies, haha.

Anyway, I'm doin a whole lotta nuthin right now, which is great. I don't work tomorrow either.

*Kisses teeth* I didn't even buy anythin the other day at the mall! Alice went bananas with the sweaters and I came home with just a DVD and more Red Rain (I think I'm gettin addicted). Tho gettin Life As A House for $15 was pretty good. I'd get it with staff discount at work but we don't have it for some reason. We were in Sunrise Records and Al had had had to get A Nightmare Before Christmas, which worked out nice cuz both our movies were a part of their 2/$30 promo.

After the mall we met up with L for dinner at BP and watched the Leafs game. I hadn't watched one in a while. Dinner was so good tho, I ate a lot :P And I think we're gettin to be regulars at that BP cuz the waitress recognizes us and knows we like to stay after and watch til the game's done, haha.

I think I'll go watch the rest of the Evanescence concert DVD finally.

Holy crap it was so boring at work yesterday! I made a total of $7 commission. Look out. I had absolutely jack to do cuz I had spent most of Tuesday's shift re-doin all the peg hook price tags and reorganizin the camera case section (which is a bitch, trust me) so every task that could possibly be done was already done! So I was just standin around all night, chattin with Evan, sometimes takin a walk around the store. I'm all for not doin much at work but this was a bit much...I need some kind of stimulation :P

I guess Godwin made it less boring tho. Evan was doin a whole fake-mad attitude with him and it was fun to watch cuz Godwin actually thought he was pissed at him and was all, aww. And Godwin didn't make things better for himself cuz the asshole took a swipe at me with a permanent marker and got this big black stripe all across the palm of my hand. So I was fake-mad at him for the night too. Him gettin all worried that we were never talkin to him again is very entertaining.

Then we were gonna go out to for drinks or somethin after work but it was freezin rain outside so I thought better of it. Don't drink and drive, kids...and don't drink and drive when there's black ice out there!

Well I'm off today and Al is gonna come pick me up soon so we can go to the mall. I tell ya, I think that's all I do whenever I have free time from work.

Oooh...and I made about $800 from the 2 weeks of the holiday period. Damn straight! :D And I just got my 2nd cheque from the contact lens rebate. *Does a lil dance* Let's shop!

That just might've been the easiest work shift ever :)

It was really quiet in the store for almost the whole time I was there. I would've had about 43 cents commission if wasn't for this one guy who came in and bought 7 2GB iPod Nanos! Sweeeet. That sale pretty much took care of it all for the day.

Then I got out only 5 after 9 cuz I closed the tills, counted the receipts, and turned off the camcorders and TVs early. I jetted, then went to Shoppers to get more cans of Red Rain and some gum. Try the vanilla mint kind, it's really good.

I have nothing else to say. See ya!

I've realized I can't live without my VCR. Help. I missed freakin Desperate Housewives and the season premiere of 24!! If only work didn't get in the way, then I'd be home to watch my shows :P

But Sat was pretty good, I made about $113 commission...exxxcellent. And yesterday I made $70. We had a morning meeting on Sun and one of the managers said that we were doin a lot better and in like the top 3 of the company or whatever. I sold a couple clearance/Open Box items as well as a couple PSPs so he can't say anythin to me, haha. Cuz he had told me before that those were my "areas to work on".

Holy crap, it was so cold yesterday! I know it's Jan and this is Canada but damn. Lately it had actually been very nice. You could step out without a jacket on a few days ago. Then Sun was freezin. I got dropped off at 10:30 but I got to the store and it didn't even look open and I couldn't see anyone so I'm like, wtf. I wasn't gonna stand outside and wait so I walked on over to Food Basics and bought Special K bars cuz I needed breakfast :P I was holdin my travel mug in one hand with the other in my coat pocket. I wasn't wearin gloves and I thought my left hand was just about to go numb and fall off. It was a 2 min walk! Then I got back to the store and there was everyone. No idea where they were but anyway. I think it looked like I came to work 15 mins late.

Yesterday was pretty good despite the surprisingly slowness for a Sun. Dini, Paula, and Travis were in :) Nice customers, no product knowledge problems. Oh except for this crusty old man. Talk about rude. Life hasn't been good to you? Dick. And his wife was so nice.

So have I mentioned yet that P is MARRIED???? If I didn't, then...yeahhhh. It's a whole complicated story but the point is she and Mario are legally married. We're supposed to call Sun night her engagement dinner but technically it was a few friends gettin together to celebrate her marriage. Crazy. I think it's still so up there that it doesn't strike me that she's someone's wife.

I was supposed to bring a cake to dinner but I didn't have time over the weekend so Al had conveniently called me at work and since she could lalalala take off from work for 'breaks', I asked her if she could pick up one from a place that did the writing on the top with frosting. She got it, score. "Sobey's is ridiculous!" Hahaha. So after work, I jetted home and changed and L picked me up to go to Milestone's.

Well it was a fine time for most of the evening. I don't really feel like writing about the rest of it and everybody who matters in it already knows about it so I'll leave it at that.

I'm really likin the fact that I've got today and tomorrow for 5-9. A wholllle 4 hrs of work and it's evening so all the better for me.

I accidentally made a mistake at the ATM and I'm expecting somethin from the bank tellin me that I punched in more than I actually deposited :P Oops. Why it is hard for me to deposit cheques, I don't know.
