fucking blog

Frustrating as hell.

So I have discovered that I CANT post from work. The site isn’t blocked, nor am I unable to log on and actually type the post, BUT, somehow the ‘create new post’ doesn’t display properly (ie: no font choice, colors, nada) and when I type in the box, hit ‘publish’ and then go to ‘display blog in separate window’ the only thing I see is the title. Hence the previous post. So I now have to type my posts in word, email them to my hotmail address, then cut and paste when I get home. Oh, and delete it on my computer here at work.

Hassle Hassle Hassle.

The things we bloggers go through to entertain the masses I tell ya. (and by masses, I mean YOU, and no I am not calling YOU fat, but if you think I am, then I TOTALLY AM!) *this coming from the girl with the worst body image, SIGH*

So totally off-topic, but today at lunch I am going to buy a new pair of pants or skirt cause the pair I am wearing make my ass look huge. How sad is that? CARMEN, DROP THE CHIPS AND STOP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!!!!

I totally just yelled at myself… or was it V’s voice I heard *snicker*

Cross your fingers, I think were visiting with the realtor this weekend

Stupid posting thingy majigy

Updates. Updates. Updates

Wow. Looking back I can see why the visits to my site have gone down in the last little while. I only have myself to blame. From the deepest, loneliest corner of my heart, I apologize for neglecting you.

Fortunately, with such a huge learning curve of a career to battle with, I am beginning to understand my job without the guidance of others, thus making it possible for me to jot down ideas for posts, as well as create them without having to do it on the fly. Kind of explains my last post huh? I had about 30 seconds to get something down and that’s all I could come up with. *Sigh*

And I thought I had more creativity than that!

Not A LOT has changed these few weeks (other than my job of course) but that in itself is news don’t you think? It means things are going so well, I have no new problems to report! On one bright side of things, E has finally pulled through with a job and will be starting on Thursday. And we all know what that means…. Back to the Realtor we go. Immediately after receiving the phone call from E that he was hired, I was on mls.ca browsing listings. Unfortunately, there isn’t much on there that appeals to me, but if I remember correctly, every viewing we went to previously was NOT on there to begin with. Our Realtor is pretty resourceful when it comes to snatching up ‘good’ properties right when they go on the market…so we have quite the advantage.

This weekend we went downtown for a friend’s birthday, and while we didn’t do anything ‘crazy’ we did get to have appies and drinks at the revolving restaurant at Harbour Centre. Unbelievable. The view was spectacular, and the food (while grossly over-priced and over done decoratively) was fantastic. Our bill might have been extravagant but our tummies weren’t! Decoration always supersedes quantity, no? Thankfully none of us were super hungry, or we never would have gotten out of there with a bill under $200.

In a few weeks is E and I’s Anniversary. We are planning on a day at the spa together, then cooking dinner at our house. E is pretty excited about doing it together, but I am kind of feeling like I want to get all dressed up and go to dinner. I guess we can do that at home as well…. But I don’t know….seems like it should be more of a big deal. Maybe I am just a sucker for attention. Who me?!? LOL. Thankfully, we have a sitter for the whole weekend so we can do quite a bit. Couples massage, pedicures, and facials. Who would have thunk that E and I could do that together?

So there you have it. My life the last few weeks that I have been barely posting. Sadly, I am bored with MYSELF.

Introducing....(as promised)....

Gangsta V enroute to Wal-mart. Cause we're cool like that.


S-L-A-C-K-E-R

Yup.

That's me.

But to be fair, I am week two into a brand new job that is keeping me busy as well as interested. Shockingly, I don't think I have ever had that before *snicker*. Really and truly, this experience has made me realize what a dead end job the most recent position I had was, and how much better off I am that they 'let me go'. I got my ROE in the mail the other day and I nearly peed myself. The reason that is selected as WHY I am no longer there is 'Dismissed'. Um ok. But you know what would have been funnier?

...Was too smart for this job and we piled her with crappy brainless work that took three seconds, but then we got pissed off when she had time on her hands to go on the Internet and post on her blog or on forums when really, she should have been making up shit to do to look busy...

Now THAT would have been more accurate.

Hey, just a thought, but do you think they still read this?

Hmmmmm....

HI!!!!! *Waves Frantically*

OK, I will say something nice about the job though. I liked the people *for the most part* and I am gonna miss the ones that made me laugh every day (sometimes AT them). Even 'Office Bitch', and "New Girl' and the ever famous 'Psycho co-worker' who was nice enough to call and see how I was doing. Could have totally been to be nosy and to pass off info to everyone else, but nice regardless. Seriously, I will even miss the boss. Cause he was the funniest of them all. Completely egotistical and manically big-headed, but always made me laugh when he tried to be 'cool' and 'hip' with his drunk college stories. Sorry dude, but when you look like a down syndrome sister, you are in no way shape or form in the category of cool. *Why am I being mean? Cause I can and I don't care* I get bitter when people look down on me, and as you will remember from my disclaimer many many months ago, I cannot be held responsible for being mean here. Plus, I am WAY COOLER than anyone who read this *this means you Celyne* HEHE

So I shall bid adieu. It is time to go with Ghetto V to Wal-mart. No joke, she looks like a Gangsta today. If I can sneak a pic of her without her knowing, I'll post.

Wish me luck

Sorry I have been slacking. Its been a pretty busy week for me. I started the new job and the learning curve is tremendous. But I love it. In fact, I really truly LOVE IT. It's funny though, there will always be that one person who tries to dissuade you from liking it, and make you feel like your working for the wrong company. What I mean by that, is there is always that ONE coworker who doesn't like their job. And she happens to sit in the office next to me. Great girl, but slightly bitter.

On to other things though.

Sick as a dog today. I pretty much stayed on the couch and masturbated all day . *that was for you Trevor*

Seriously though, I DO feel better now. It was so weird how it came on so quickly last night though. Watching a movie with Beautiful V, and all of a sudden my throat started to hurt. By the end of the movie, it was damn near impossible to swallow without looking like I was giving head *think about it for a sec, when you throat hurts and you swallow... what do you look like?* NOW do it, and then laugh.

Ok, so this morning , my throat DIDN'T hurt, but I was all achy. Thankfully, by around 2 o'clock I started feeling better.

Lets hope it sticks

Happy Daylight savings you fucking Americans
(I say that because they decided to move up daylight savings three weeks so I have to lose an hour of sleep on a weekend I don't feel 100%)

FUCKERS

You're Hired!

When I said I would have a job by Friday and be working on Monday, I was really just trying to be 'glass half full'.... but fortunately, my optimism paid off, as it alllll came true. Friday, I had the second interview with the employer I really wanted to be working for. Friday afternoon at 3pm they offered me the position, and asked that I start Monday.

I am so flippin' excited I can hardly contain myself!

I would like to say the same for the SO, but unfortunately, nothing has panned out yet. Will keep you informed.

And yes, another weekend post. But this time, SHORT. I have just woken from an afternoon nap, and all I can smell is the chicken in the slow cooker.... If i sit in the living room I can almost taste it.

Happy Sunday

Correction

Apparantly "staying at home all day" and "went to the Lonsdale Quay" contradict each other. So, what I meant to type was "Who knew being unemployed could be so much fun!"

Better?

Ps: The Strippers would have been fun.

Thanks for the invite. Pfffftttttt Whatever
Who knew staying at home all day could be so much fun?!? Today, we went to the Lonsdale Quay and picked fresh fruit for Fondue, had some banana caramel cheesecake at Tantra, and watched the Seabus (which, mind you, I have NEVER been on). We held hands, we snuggled, and just enjoyed each others company. Tres magnifique! Unfortunately... these kind of days are few and far between...and soon non-existent...

Why? you ask...

Well....

It's quite simple...

I am going to be WORKING soon!

So to answer your questions...YES, the interviews went well! In fact, I am pretty sure I have both. I have received calls back from BOTH (I actually had three interviews, but cancelled the third one because it really didn't interest me, and I have a second interview lined up for tomorrow for the one job I really want) with positive feedback, as well as to lineup a meeting with me and the VP of Sales and other Sales Associates. Now, from my experience, when your called not even half an hour after you leave a building and get told "I know we told you we would call you Friday if you have a second interview, but quick decision and we want you BACK here on Friday to meet the VP" .... it means you have the job?

I dunno

Sounds like it to me!

And this is the one I wanted! I applied for it the day I was 'let go' because I already had my eye on it, and it was sort of the time to DO IT. The other one, while extremely lucrative, seems a little bit out of my league. From my call back, I was told he loved me, loved my experience, and has already eliminated someone he interviewed that day. while positive, not concrete enough for me. The money is the only thing desirable about the job, to be honest. He was a great guy, slightly lacking in the sense of humor dept, but a nice guy whom anyone really would want to be an Executive Assistant for. But not me. I will be passing up A LOT more money, but it really is the other one I want.

So yeah, if all goes well tomorrow (they mentioned they are looking to hire immediately for one of the positions!) I *could* be working on Monday.

So I have to get all of it out of my system quickly...

which means...

Ladies night at Woody's tonight. Complete with Fire Fighters.

Whose in?
