Well today actually wasn't too bad. Evan thought he had the opening shift with Kane but when we saw all 3 of us at the morning meeting, we were kinda confused, haha. I knew I was supposed to be there at 9 and Ev was convinced he had the shift so we checked the schedule. The dork read it wrong cuz his name is right above mine so he was about 3 hrs early, haha. He was like, I don't care, I'm already here, I'm leavin at 6! Richard's closin by himself! Haha

So I had Evan for the whole shift, which is fun cuz we really don't work all that much as we do talk and laugh and everythin else but store-related tasks.

AND since there were 2 other ppl in the dept, that meant I could take 10 mins to walk over to McD's and get myself breakfast! :) Mmmmm...Bacon & Egg McMuffin combo. So good. Then Ev took his turn and went to get food and we ate while on the floor. Pretty much only our dept can do that cuz our tills are in a closed-off kiosk type area and it hides our forbidden items and if we see customers or managers, we can walk around the corner cuz the little island in the middle blocks us, haha.

I think me and Al are supposed to do somethin tonight? No idea, will be callin her.

Back from Vegas. Actually that was Tues but I've been so tired and workin that I don't have the time and energy to blog. I can't get up normally anymore and I'm feelin sleepy all the time, takin naps every day. It's the time difference...and goin to bed at 6 am about 3 days out of the 6 we were there :P

We flew out and had a stopover in Phoenix. Skye Sweetnam was on our flight from Toronto but she was goin to LA. I'm not a stalker, we had a while til our connecting flight :P

We had a room at the Excalibur. Cute medieval theme, tho we would later realize that this was a more family-themed hotel and hot boys were pretty much elsewhere, haha.

The first day and night we pretty much explored our hotel, had dinner, went to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay Hotels, and walked around that area cuz we didn't really have the energy to check the whole Strip yet. Esp since Vegas weather is SO HOT!!

Went to virtually every single hotel/casino on the Strip, went to the Fashion Show Mall and that other big outlet mall in the middle of nowhere, sunned by the pool, ate at IHOP (best pancakes ever with their butter pecan syrup), California Pizza Kitchen (roasted garlic chicken pizza, OMG), House of Blues (mac & cheese had no taste whatsoever even to me, Queen of Bland Food), spent a lot of time at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, went clubbin at Jet, played some slots (I lost $20 in less than 2 mins so that was all the fun I was gonna do), went to the Shark Reef exhibit at Mandalay, went clubbin at Pure and saw Chris Masterson and Laura Prepon in VIP, had lots of McD's morning, afternoon, and late late late night haha, saw Siegfried & Roy's Tiger habitat at the Mirage, the lion habitat at MGM, saw some Thunder From Down Under boys, had an unexpected caricature drawn of me, drank during the afternoon, outside in the street, in a mall haha. And lots more things in between. But those are all details and of course...what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas ;)

So much fun. Everybody has to experience Vegas once. It was good to get away, and go to Sin City of all places.

Back to the grind. 9:00 shift tomorrow morning, yum.
