Lol Too Funny!

Haha thanks Nik - I needed that little laugh out loud moment! My nite was so horribly bad....I cried - but not at work...in the car on the way home lol. K - so let me draw u a mental picture of how my nite went.

I get to work at 5 (after already working 5 hours) super tired as it is (I've worked 19 hours in 2 days.) So I'm there left by myself for the next 4 hours - and alone to close...so no problem I think - I have 3 sessions and if the kids are good - it should go smoothy. Well my 5pm didn't show - no worries -I can get some of the paper work crap I have to get done finished. Then my 6pm shows up with 2 kids who look so nice and are well behaved - I'm thinking - this is gonna go great. Start talking to mom - she's picking every friggin background in the studio to use - I'm like -no no - u pick 3 - only 3. so she does - after 10 mins of deciding - so by now I"m like -lady...I have little patience...so we get into the camera room - u think her kids would smile properly...no - she makes me take 20 pics (I'm only supposed to take 6) (I'm worried I'll get in trouble for that tommorrow - we're never supposed to go up that high) and then doesn't the computer fuck up and send out 6 pics...the wrong ones - I can't go back and fix it - no idea what to do - so I'm like - yeah...ummm - ur gonna have to come back when I figure out what to do...I'll call u - and then they are all like - well what are u gonna give us for this inconvience?? I'm like - man...whatever...I'll give u a free sheet - will that shut ur trap?? (I didn't say that - but I was thinking it!) so they left - and remember they were my 6pm appointment...it was 7:15 when they left - and they didn't even get to do their sale. Like frig. So then I'm all shaken up and now really tired and stressed out when my 8pm shows - 2 little kids and their uncle - friggin boy would not smile right for me...I took 15 pics for them and said - k enough - that's all I can take. Took them out to the sales table....they don't order anything - "I didn't like the way they turned out." So I'm ready to just leave now. But I have to stay and close - first time by myself I'm thinking - well this is gonna go into the shitter...but it actually went surprisingly well all considering...so now I'm home...I'm calm - I cried in the car on the way home - and just waiting to see what happens tomorrow - I left my boss a huge note saying how bad everything went and hope I don't cry tomorrow when I go to explain it to her....cross ur fingers for me.

But when I'm done work tomorrow I get to go out with my friends to celebrate my birthday and I'm getting so drunk...well moderatly drunk - don't wanna be hungover on Sunday...that would suck.

I'm going to bed now - I gotta be back up and to work by 9 tomorrow morning...oi. lol

The Number Issue

Hey, didn't I tell you I had a problem with numbers? While it would seem that I put you at a very unfavourable third, in all actuality, I meant to put you at a very high number one, but my number dyslexia got me all confused. Well that was how i felt until I read the blog, and you re-pointed out to me all th horrible mean things you did to me, namely my face, your shirt, my date, your fun.....but that's ok...cause i've been saving up my payback for quite some time...and well, it'll be a doozy when it comes.....it could be a few months down the road, or 50, when you need a new kidney, I'll be the only match(through some sort of weird genetic miracle) and I'll agree, than right before you go under the anasthetic...i'll say "psych!!!" and laugh all the way outta the hospital!

I'm just kidding, u can have a kidney, i'm sure i've damaged them somehow but you can have one!

Third?

Whilst I have already pointed this out to Nikki...I feel that it is blog worthy! I got an email this morning from Nikki and it mentioned how muched she missed Ptbo life - as well she should - Ptbo life is like none other! lol - but she also happened to list what she missed about Ptbo....The city being number one...well ok - yeah it's a nice city and I would miss it if I were to leave to - so ok I can let that slide. However...Bob was the second on her list of things she missed...Bobert?! Bobert Bridges?! Does she remember how much he insulted her with his "Move back so I can see Kim." and "I bet u got that wrong didn't u Nikki?" or "How can u not know that...Nikki u didn't know did u?" this man came before me?! I'll admit - I was just as generous with the insults as good old Bobert...with some classics I might add... "I'm the looks of this operation." ...laughing hysterically whilst u broke a chair in class..."She'll mistake you for her anyways." and my personal fav. when I plastered ur face to a t-shirt and went out in public with it on...while u were on a blind date. hmmm...maybe ur right...I do deserve third - my insults are way worse than Bob's.....but laugh we did.


and at least I didn't try to convice u I was a lesbian - let's not forget that! lol

Girls Weekend/Visiting Bobert Day!

Lol - both things we need to do! And stat!! I miss school too - we had so much fun and well...times just aren't so fun anymore! lol work today was something like I've never experienced before....crazy busy beyond belief - but I'm surpirsingly not that tired - but I worked for 7 hours with a 10 min break to eat a muffin - so I wouldn't fall over from lack of food - that's all I ate today and it was at 3:30pm - I'm surprised I lasted that long! so needless to say I'm looking forward to dinner tonite lol

But getting back to the title of this blog - we need to get together soon - and since Bobert wants us to come visit...well we can't dissapoint Bobert now can we?? I miss his insults - I wonder what it will be when we see him...."You don't look all that professional." or maybe "Yup...still fat...err umm...a fraud?" or maybe (if we're lucky) "Nikki...u and Kim still bunking together??" or OR! "Nikki...can u move back so I can see Lindsay??" hahahaahahaha - ohhh man - now if only Duffman would make another appearance and Capstick's underwear were visable yet again - that would just make my day...and to see Patty one more time!! lol ahhh the good old days - Nik u should come back and we'll do that 5th semester together!! lol

Still laughing

I just killed myself laughing over that one, that's how sad my life has become...lol...oh Lindsay, I know you meant "Nikki" as in I am just too good for words/posting/blogging..lol

so i just called my mom to see if she needed anything picked up at the grocery store...and she says "well you've only got 20 dollars in your account"...I stopped talking and panicked...I told her I just checked this morning and i had 1,500 in the bank...my mom's like "well i went to take 20 dollars out and it said there was only 21.50 left...and the account number doesn't match my account number"...so I'm all panicky thinking my worst fear has happened, someone used one of the damn machines and managed to get my account number and pin number....than she was like "oh" i said "i'm having a heart attack, you can't say "oh" and she's like, "it's clear as day now, i used a different bank machine and was charged 1.50, so it took out 21.50, not 21.50 is left in the account, and that is my account number, sorry for the mix up, you gonna get gas today?"...so needless to say, parent's now nothing about technology, since my mom thought that through her bank card, she could access my money...lol damn parent's

p.s linday i hope you did cry today, it makes my day seem that much better :P

Lindsay

Well That Last One Didn't Work Out...

Lol I dunno what I hit - but it just all of a sudden started publishing before I was through the title!! lol - it was gonna be "Nikki's a Blog Bully" well...becuase she is lol - telling me I better write a blog...well here I am writing a blog - but I don't really have anything exciting to write about - all I do now is work...and we all know how fun and exciting work can be...but I just looked at the schedule and I'm working by myself today...all alone lol - so I should have stories come from that no doubt - if I'm not crying by the end of it! lol - something is bound to screw up I just know it!! Well I'm off to work now...I shall post should something happen to me....

Nikki

I don't get it...

Lol - Nik ur gonna have to explain that one to me!! lol

Damn Ducks

Here's a joke, tell me if you get it

A duck walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink...the bartender stops what he is doing and says "Oh my god, that's fantastic! Have you ever thought about joining the circus?" The ducks looks at the bartender and says "What would the circus want with a bricklayer?"


A lawyer told this joke to a group of us...I stared at him for like 20 seconds, completely confused, than one girl burst out laughing and had to explain it....lol, figure it out yet??

Not the same

Have you noticed lately that our posts are just not the same since we finished school?? no more road trips to laugh about, getting drunk on tuesday, people trying to get in the car door that I always demand be locked? No more uni? No more lavalife? No more making fun of the deaf? Or our friends ugliness, nakedness, or fatness???

It's almost like we grew up in five months(or we're faking it)....this i feel is reason enough that we need to get together so, or the blog will never be the same!!!!

We've run out of funny quotes, no more making fun of teachers, no more cheesy potatoes, cheese covered vegitables, and ben and jerry ice cream...no more "trying" to get drunk, but failing miserably, no more reminicing about Napolean Dynamite, and how badly we're gonna embarass Kim at her wedding(despite being so drunk/tired to do a good job)

Well this is reason enough that we need a girls weekend, and quick, now we're acting all proper and lady like, and that's just not right! my body is rejecting the idea!!!

My Weekend

Well my weekend was pretty uneventful....friday my friend Leanne and I went out to dinner also, and than we went to a friends house who i haven't seen in a few months...and than of course, to top the night off we went to Adult Connection(porn store) where i felt like a kid in a candy shop...

shannon, halle, and paul where over for the weekend, cause they had a wedding to go to, so my parents where watching halle, who kept them up until 7:00 am saturday morning, so being the nice person i am, i scrapped my plans to go to the bar to watch halle....she went to bed around 11:00 saturday night, and around 1:00 i started to get cold, so i snuggled on the floor with her(she refused to sleep in her crib), well she isn't a delicate sleeping...she kicked me 12 times, and hogged the blankets, so i was up until 6:00am sunday, when i promptly woke my mom up for her to do her share...other than that, my room is done(but no wood floors, they wouldn't work in my room, we just painted the floor black and picked a nice(really cool rug) to go over it..

The Weekend

Let's see here...Saturday nite I was sitting around at home when Ju called and said - I'm coming over - so I said ok. She came over and we were at a loss for what to do so we decided on Kelsey's for drinks and eats. We had nachos - which were soo good and I discovered one of the best drinks I have ever had!! It was called Strawberry Mango Splash - it's Mango Malibu Rum, Strawberry Juice and Sprite - man...sooo good - and so easy to get drunk off!! lol - But Ju said it was my celebratory drinks for getting a job - so I felt justified after that! lol

Then today Dan barged in my room and said - there's hot chocolate and toaster strudle waiting for u upstairs...so I dragged my ass out of bed and got into bed with my mom and her friend Nancy and we watched tv for a while...but Dan made my hot chocolate with the syrup stuff and hot water...so it was foul -but it's the thought that counts - and that he went back and made it good with milk lol. Then we went out shopping...and shop I did - I spent like $200 at Rikki's - well my mom did - she got me an outfit for my birthday - a nice pair of brown pants, a blouse and a sweater to go over top and I bought myself a pair of black pants - so I'm set for work now - and I got new shoes too from Sears ...only $30 - so I was rather happy!! Nothing like spending a paycheque before u get it!!
Then after that I went and met Steph, Leanne and Maija at DQ to hang out for an hour and give Steph the money I owe her for Leanne's birthday present - we're all going out on the town on Wednesday nite - so I should have stories!!

And yeah - that was my weekend...Nikki - how was urs??

Work So Far...

Work so far has been great - first day of training went very well - I did a lot of reading...I'll admit - I probably did more in those four hours than I did in my last semester of college!! lol My boss even said - u must feel like ur back in school - I giggled and said yeah...while thinking...man - if u only knew what I used to do in college!! lol But it was good - lots of info being thrown at u - but I've absorbed it pretty quickly. Today...well the first hour was good - but then the other girl working today came into the training room and said oh by the way I can't come into work tomorrow - so my boss excuses herself and goes to talk to her - is gone for half an hour and comes back after what I imagine was a rather heated discussion and says to me and the other girl in training with me...I've never been so dissapointed in one of my workers before - and went on to mention how she was late for her shift this morning and then just quit on her today...ooo - that sucks. So just as we get back to training a walk -in session comes in so my boss is like - I'm so sorry - I have to go shoot them (take thier pics lol - I just read over that...didn't sound so good) And then the cameras both break down...both of them!! So my boss is running around trying to fix them - I felt so bad for her by this point - and by 4:15 - an hour after we stopped training - she just told us to go home - we'd catch up later lol - so I got off work early - but my poor boss.

I'm going shopping tomorrow to get new work clothes - it's surprsingly very dressy - I have to wear dress pants and a nice shirt and dress shoes - very strict like - so I'm like - bah....lol - cause my wardrobe is nothing like that - I have a few things - like enough to make about 3 or 4 different outfits - but when I work everyday...it's gonna get kinda repetitive - so I'm using the excuse to go out and buy new stuff - ya!! lol shopping spree before my first paycheque - gotta love it!!

But I like my new work - it's fun and the people are fun...minus the quitting and huffiness - but they assured me it's not always like that - I usually always have bad first days at all my jobs...but they always turn out good in the end - so here's hoping this one is the same!! lol

Not much to do

So I haven't been doing much lately...my room is finished being painted...which I mustsay, I've done a damn good job..well..my parent's did a damn good job...i mostly got to look at them do it, I don't think they trusted me with paint...which means when the hard wood floors go in tomorrow...i'm sure i'll be watching, or doing the grunt work...

I also forgot to mention my computer desk conked out on me..literally it collapsed when i was moving it, and if my dad hadn't been there, the damn thing would have collapsed...but now i'm missing my necklace my parent's gave me for graduaction...i checked the ripped up carpets, garbage and vacuum cleaners..but nothing...

anyways, Showcase Diva is replaying Boston Public(my new favourite show) so I've been pretty excited...despite the fact I don't ever remember my highschool being quite as entertaining (no nude olympics, teachers shooting guns,sleeping with other students, or students lacing teachers drinks with ecstacy..)infact..my school was damn boring....

anyways, nothing new to report on....Halle is spending the weekend, so i'm sure i'll be having tons of fun, redoing my room and babysitting the little terror

Feel Good Day!!

So I had my interview at the Photography studio - and it sounds like such a cool job - and the interview went sooo well!! I was there talking to her for like an hour - it was insane - but one of the best interviews I have ever had! So I'm rather excited - and she said she would let me know by tomorrow - so keep ur fingers crossed for me. But here's what totally sold me on it - she said that I would be learning how to run a studio - like - I would be doing everything - I'd be a photographer, sales girl, reception - everything - and I've always loved photography but never considered it - but now I totally am!! I think it would be so cool - and u never know what might happen in the future - I might fall in love with it. But for now I'm just so happy that something seems to be working out - it's about time - and I haven't been excited about something in a really long time and I missed the feeling - so it was a good day!

Nikki - I hope u have a feel good day soon too - they rock - most amazing thing to have an epiphany!! :)

My Advice

Being as I spent all nite last nite awake and thinking - I may have some light to shed onto your situation. You can spend hours analyzing everything to try and figure out what is right for you - but u'll only drive urself crazy doing so. The best thing you can do for yourself is to follow ur gut, take every opportunity that presents itself and seems like a good idea at the time - even if it turns out that it's not be the best thing in the long run - at least u tried and that way u'll have no regrets. Do things to make urself happy - not to make other people happy - cause as long as you're happy in the end that's all that matters. If school is calling you right now I say go for it - what do u have to lose?? Get a part time job to help pay off ur debt - but it makes more sence to work ur ass off now then to be stuck in a job u hate just because u needed to stay there to make money.

Did any of that make sence?? I'm a little flustered so it might be more rambling than solid advice - but all I can say is do what u feel is right for u right now - do what makes u happy and then everything will fall into place as it should.

Nikki's decision making tim

So, now that i've given linds my opinion on what i want her to do, here's my friggin dilema....now i've made it no secret i don't like law anymore...at least this type of law....I want to do something with International Aid Agencies or Humanitarian Agencies...and i've been debating going back to school...either through Athabasca University or somewhere else...next year....

anyways, i received a notice yesterday that my tuition scholarship has been renewed( a sign maybe) for another year...now i'm positive I can't use it for Athabasca, but maybe some other school...and I'm not even sure I can use it for University...but I want to go back to school so bad(not necessarily leaving home though, I am quite impressed with the Athabasca idea) but I don't know what to do...i can't quit..i still owe 11,700 to osap....but I can't keep working here...so any suggestions?? and No, lindsay, Thursdays is not an option!lol

Decision Making TIme...

So...here's the situation - I go from nothing in the job area - to having to make decisions like crazy!! I have an interview at WalMart next week - that's fine.
But then today I go into Sears and apply there and at the Portrait Studio - the lady from the portrait studio is so nice and bubbly and I think would be lots of fun to work with. Then I get home from all that and Sue from the registry office calls and says that Doug might be looking to hire (he's the lawyer I worked for before) so I go down to see him and ask what he's doing in that department - and he said he would think about it - but I would get 4 days a week with him. Then I get home from that and the girl from the photo place calls me and wants me in for an interview tomorrow - so ok I say. But now there's a dilema...

Work at Portrait Studio for 40 hours a week at $7.50 an hour (crappy wages - but I think it would be fun)
Work with Doug for 28 hours a week at $10 an hour (but I would just be temping again - see the other girl who normally works there is in school and can only work one day a week - so she would still keep her job - which means I would have to continue to do things her way - which drives me crazy - but it's in a law office - and I would get the same amount of money for less hours)

and that's all if I get the offers to work - uhhh first I'm all stressed about not having a job and now I'm all stressed about which job I want....advice anyone??

It all goes down tomorrow - so I'll keep the blog posted.

Weekend Full of Sickness.

Being sick all weekend sucks! I went out on Friday nite - but I was all feverish and so it was an early nite - and I was invited to go out on Sat nite too - the one weekend I could have partied both nites and I'm all - I can't move I ache all over and am burning up. So I have no stories to tell - other than I watched a lot of tv, and sucked up to my mom a lot lol - I tend to regress when I'm sick.

However - today I've been summoned to my grandparents because apparently it's grandparents day - so Garrett and I are heading over in hopes of cake...and of course to visit.

But yeah - that's my big blog for the weekend...Nikki - I hope u had a better time than I!

Amish Paradise!

Sorry it took me so long to post about my Amish adventure! But better late than never - so here I am - ok let's begin....
Friday 3:30pm - My mom, Dan, my Aunt Karen and I pile into the car and set out for St.Jacob's. My aunt and I decide (since we're in the back seat) that this would be a good opportunity to harrass Dan. So we came up with a list of questions to ask him throughout the drive (Are we there yet? How much farther? Where are we? Are we lost? When are we eating? and so on.) As we're going along we break out the tunes - I brought about 50 cds with me so we had lots of selection - we rocked out to the Police, Queen, Coldplay - it was great.
6:30pm - We arrive in Cambridge - we're hungry - we go for dinner. It was quite the ordeal - they weren't overly busy - but our food took about 45 mins to get to us - so we had the Manager of the place serve us our meal when it was done - and he was quite chatty - he stayed and talked to us for like 5 mins -but I was hungry so I ate and nodded every now and then - but because we had to wait for so long - we got 50% off our meals - sweet deal!!
8:00pm - We got to the Cambridge outlet mall - I was rather excited only to be rather dissapointed. The stores weren't all that great - but I did get a new cover for the futon that Kim and Nikki gave me - it's black - so it looks much better than the green lol.
9:30-10pm - We arrive in Waterloo at our hotel - which I navigated us to since I was the only one who could read in the dark lol - so we got in and the room was about as big as our room in Brampton - so it was ok - but my aunt wanted to go for a smoke so I went with her so she wouldn't have to be alone and we saw what we later claimed to be a drifter and contemplated inviting him up for a good time lol. And we think that there was a strip joint across the street (classy place this is) so we also contemplated going over there and becoming the newest members for the nite - u know make some extra cash for the market...but we didn't - thought my parents might frown upon it.
11:30pm - go to bed.
Saturday 4:30am - wake up due to snorring all around me...my aunt and I both woke up at the same time and layed in bed listening to my parents snore away...good times.
5:30am - decided enough was enough and got out of bed. My mom was all - who are u and where's my kid. But I was showered and ready to go at 6:15 - oh yeah.
6:30am - Karen and I were downstairs ready for breaky - I ordered apple juice and I got orange juice - she ordered coffee and got it cold. Good start. So my parents got down and Dan and I were all over the buffet and then my mom and aunt ordered off the menu...but what they neglected to tell us was that the buffet didn't start until 8 - it was like 7 - so Dan got a little mad and we ordered off the menu...but didn't get any discount whatsoever - lousy meal yes lol. But that didn't damper the spirits - it was off to see the Amish!
9am - Got to St.Jacob's farmer's market - this thing is HUGE!! We went down the produce isle first and it was a frenzy of chaning money for goods - I think my parents spent like $200 in a matter of minutes - and after I caught my breath from that we did the flea market type thing. It was really cool - so many different vendors - I got a belt and a watch - everyone else got so much stuff! It was crazy - by the time we were done the car couldn't hold anymore stuff - the trunk was weighed so far down. Now as for Amish sightings...I had a few - there was a cute little boy all dressed in the traditional clothing - and a couple families - but other than that there were no horses or carriages or anything...so rather dissapointing -and no pictures either - I thought it would be rude - being as it was like a shopping place.
12:00pm - we get to downtown St. Jacob's and go through all the different stores and bakeries - very nice - all the stores are in the old silos and barns - very cool!
2:00pm - we hit the road to go home - but on the way spot a mall and stop in - but we were all so tired we were there for like half an hour and were like- we're all broke and tried - let's go home. and go home we did.
3:30pm - they spot their favourite store - we must stop - and stop we did and somehow put another $100 worth of food in the car...no idea how. lol
4:00pm - falling asleep...but then I get Tim Horton's and I'm all awake again - so it was good.
5:00pm - Get home, unload goodies, tell Garrett and Katie (his girlfriend) stories - then veg out and sleep really good. lol

That was my Amish expereince! It was very cool and next time I go I'm gonna make them go through the little villages so I can see how the Amish live.

Ohh...Nikki - you should never pay for "Crap Cakes" just so u know for next time....lol - gotta love typos. Glad u guys had fun!! :D

Johnny Scratchhisballs

So, this weekend was pretty busy, on of the first in a long time....I saw five baseball games, which is pretty good seeing as i've only ever seen about 3 or 4 my entire life...but the games not too bad..I saw a lot of baseball player ass...since they are not ashamed to change in the field...saw a lot of spit...and got a lot of sun.....and had a red bull for the first time, but it was pretty nasty tasting....Also i was enjoying my "Blarney Chips" supreme nachoes with latice chips instead of nachoes..until Ian's friend referred to the guy in the kitchen as Johnny Scratchhisballs...pretty much lost my appetite after that....

We went to an expensive restaurant at the Holiday Inn called Bridges, i had a crap cake a little bit bigger than a toonie and a strawberry daquiri which cost me 20 bucks plus tip....so i was none too impressed, and then we walked to the casino(in the most painful shoes ever) where i proceeded to make a 6.75 cent profit, but i wasnt as excited as kim who won 75 cents.....

I got bangs on thursday so now i have this weird void on my forehead where i have the horrible burn, and than to white lines on either side of my forehead from my hair...

We didn't end up going to the bar, kim conked out on us...her allergies where intensified by the healthy Sarnia air..lol

Other than that..not much else happened...I can't wait to see Amish pics lindsay!!!!
