2 yrs later...

I might not write in this anymore (I think it's been like a yr or somethin) but still...I could do a sporadic blurb every now and then so I can up the count to the my 1000th post, haha.

There are a million things I could update about but the only things that come to mind are what's happening right now. Still workin...have a day off today. Actually, I don't have to work til Mon :) It's a lot easier to catch up on stuff when you actually have some time to slow it down and breathe (and sleep :P) instead of work work work work.

Ummm...I dunno. Things are good. Can't complain about anythin...at the moment, haha. It's only the middle of Jan and I'm sick of the winter weather. Well we did have a few days of unusually warmer temps so that was nice. I guess what I wanna be doin if I can't change the cold and the snow is go skating and sledding :) I found my ice skates last week and they STILL FIT! Crazy. I haven't gone since, I don't even know, when I was in my early teens?

Anyways, happy new yr and all that. Maybe I'll start postin more in the future.

Yeah, when I said I'd get back into blogging, by that I meant....3 months :P

I don't even know what all these new features on Blogger are. That'll happen. Things change and go on with or without you.

I just felt really neglectful about my blog for some reason, to the point that I wanted to finally write somethin today.

Even tho I don't write anythin relevant or profound. I really don't know why I feel the need to 'check in', haha.

I know I always always say I'm gonna write about life from the last entry up to this day some time later on but...

Just wanted to give this thing some life again.

It's May and I've just now been able to log back into my Blogger account. They've upgraded so that you have to register for a Google account but every time I tried to, the page just kept tryin to load and ended up goin nowhere. That and I've also been really lazy and just straight up stopped postin :P

Lots of things goin on. Will get back into the blog soon. I am alive ;)

Thought I'd do the last entry of the yr. It's been a couple weeks since the big epic Boxing Day so here's pretty much what happened since then...

Well there was a little power surge at work, which was fun. If you work in a place like that and the power goes out, everythin is fucked. But good thing for backups, that would've been a headache and a half.

The Shuffle Party was fun! Kim had a blast on her bday and a wild ass time was had by all. Namely Catherine cuz who was smashed and had too much fun with this giant Christmas ornament ball she found and was swingin it around above her head like an Amazon. "Cat, just cuz it's above YOUR head, doesn't mean it's above ours!" LOL Shuffle Parties are ridiculous. I know I always say this but, we met some 'interesting' ppl :P Al got sneakily and subtly tricked into givin a guy her number. "Argh, duped!...BRILLIANT!" LOL

I happened to get that entire weekend off so on Sun me and G went out for lunch and I went downtown to do some Christmas shoppin for Evan and Godwin cuz I couldn't find what I was plannin on gettin for them, and somethin for my brother. Yeah I was one of those ppl who went shoppin on Christmas Eve. It actually wasn't as crazy as I figured it would be tho so that was good. And I found all I needed!

Christmas I did the whole family thing, had dinner, chilled at home.

Then I went to bed at about 10:00 cuz I had to get up at 4 and be at work for 5. In the morning. And my shift was til 6. In the evening. That's right, 13 hr day from 4 am. I also had to go to Meen's WEDDING that night!

Anyway, Boxing Day seemed a little less hectic than last yr. Very busy and chaotic and still profitable but I dunno, maybe a bit slower this time around. I think it was half cuz of general business and lack of any especially good deals and half cuz they let ppl thru the door in waves instead of opening them to one mad rush of crazies.

As insane as the day is, I kinda like the energy of it and every single employee is there that day with a big morning cheer and pep talks so it's got that team spirit thing goin on, even tho the majority of us don't see anybody else outside of our own dept all day.

Lunch was on the company and you damn well believe that I took plenty of breaks that day. Things pretty much die out after the first couple hrs and there's the entire team in the dept to cover you anyway.

So I finally left about 6:30 and had hardly any time time to get ready before Al picked me up to get to Meen's wedding. Meen was doin the whole religious thing where her traditions spanned 3 days so that day was the official ceremony. I know I looked like shit and I didn't have the time or energy to dress properly so I was regretful about that. She just had to have it on that day! :P Well she couldn't really help it due to hall availability and time restrictions but still...and I couldn't miss all 3 days. I've known this chick since we were 8 and I'd really hate it if I missed her wedding.

The wedding was def an experience. I love her family, it's such a big clan and her parents are so cute. It was visually beautiful, it was emotional, it was some memories. The food was good too, even tho it was hot as fire :P It was me, Al, Fish, and Chris and J. We were takin pictures and I was standin there still not believin that our lil grade school crew of me, Meen, Chris, and J (minus Mickey who couldn't attend), everyone but me was married. It's crazy.

Got to sleep in the next day. I don't think I need to describe how much I needed and loved that. If I had to work the morning, I would've quit on the spot. Then again workin the day after Boxing Day (week, actually) is pointless since we're wiped out of stock for everythin. Basically, there's nothing to sell. I love that position tho, I don't really have to work since there's absolutely nothing I can do about the lack of products we have. Then I had some food leftover from the day before for lunch. We had to use a 2nd fridge to hold all the grub still there.

On Fri I went to Yorkdale to shop with Al. Bought Underworld for me and Mr. and Mrs. Smith for my sister. Met up with Jay, Shawn, and Snay for coffee. Caught up on things, made semi-plans for New Yrs. Then I went to dinner with Evan and Richie at The Keg.

Worked on Sat. The seasonals were gone, except they kept Lily and the other guy we don't like.

Now it's New Yrs Eve and everythin's up in the air so we'll see what goes on this time around.

Day off before the madness begins...and that would be crunch time for Christmas. The new new holiday hrs start tomorrow, which means I get up at 6 fuckin 30. That's disgusting. If you need to go shoppin at 8 am, you have problems. I'm sure Christmas is all about forcin yourself to go to the stores to buy presents before work or school cuz you don't have any time otherwise. Just don't get yourself into that shit!

My Loser Weekend didn't turn out so loser-ish tho. Sat night I met up with L and Deb at Shoeless Joe's to catch the Leafs game. And I had some wicked Caramel Cheesecake :) Weird coincidence, Richie was there too with some of his crew. We watched as his friend gave him some drunken lovin, some classic "I love you, man!" as he wouldn't let go from a hug, haha. Then we went to good ol' Timmy's.

Sun's shift was pretty wicked tho. It was up there with one of the most profitable days ever. I should def start workin more Sundays :P Or it was probably cuz of the holiday rush.

The rest of the week was straight-forward. Except Mon morning was another one of the shifts where I truly goin to lose it and freak on somebody. It was absolutely ridiculous and that new guy was absolutely useless.

Ev had an overlapping shift so when I was done, he took a break and we took a trip to the beer store, haha. He owed Kane for bein a good reference for his new job so he promised him a 2-4. Went to Harvey's for Ev to get some lunch, brought it back to work in the lunch room, and chilled a bit til he went back to the floor, then I bounced. Work truly is like home away from home.

Yesterday was sweet tho. I got no PSP whatsoever all day but I made enough money halfway into my shift that I could've gone home at 1, haha. Too bad we're not allowed to leave hrs early so balls to that.

Lookin forward to this weekend tho...Kimmy's bday jam (another Shuffle party) and Sat off!

For now, I gotta get used to opening at 7:30 am for a few days. Ew.

Welcome to Loser Weekend. Tonight I'm stayin in to watch TV, study up on work crap, and gettin up tomorrow morning at 7, workin from 8 to 4 (except way later than that, I'm sure), then havin work Sun morning at 8:30. No life. The highlight of my Sat is probably gonna be watchin Justin Timberlake on SNL :P

Fridays are pretty much my chill days. I lounge around and usually catch up on errands. Last weekend, tho nothing too crazy, was at least better than the forecast for this one. On Sat, me, Vick, and Deb went over to L's to watch the Leafs...and some softcore Asian hair porn, hahaha...not explainin that one. I got to finally try some Grey Goose vodka tho, cuz L's brother got some huge pitcher-sized bottles from his bday.

I actually got Sun off so I was able to go to Meen's bridal shower thing at her aunt's house. Her whole clan was there and Chris and Al made it too. Interesting games, good conversation with the bride-to-be, and lots of food and gifts...as well as traditional hen party chatter. "Your mom." LOL

I've had this whole week of work and it's not gonna let up til, oh, about the middle of Jan. I'm a part-timer doin full time hrs. Aside from the time and effort put into it, I don't really have much else to complain about I guess tho. Gettin decent business, got strong enough numbers, and today's pay day :)

Christmas is creepin up. I'm normally not one to do the whole shoppin thing cuz that's just crazy expensive, plus I don't really have the time nor desire to brave the malls, but I think I'm gonna try this time around. If I get a day to do it cuz I'm smart enough to know not to go on the weekend.

Well, back to the Leafs game. And I should be asleep in 2 hrs...pfft.
