Well folks....I haven't been talked to about all the employee information yet, but I told Tricia(Express associate) that I would take the full time position at Viking. I know what all of you are thinking and I appreciate your concern and prayers. Some ideas on what to look up on the Internet while at work would be nice. Feel free to comment on here with the ideas or on my Facebook. You all will be hearing lots from me from now on. I bet your all wondering on my reasons for staying at such a job as this. Hear me out.....I'm not doing well financially so I can not afford to be unemployed even if it would be just for a little bit. Sitting around is not normally my thing but for 14-16 dollars an hour, how can I complain. The ideal job for most children would be to get paid good and do nothing. Well welcome to the dream all you youngens!! So that is pretty much my reasoning. Once I get a new job in the New Year, it will not hurt my feelings to leave this place. I won't have an issue in quitting as I have no sense of belonging here. Nothing can even come close to the pain I felt leaving Sheryl at the liquor store, and my Mom and Dad. No one ever leaves a good job, but I did. And I'll probably kick myself forever because of that. Why couldn't Sheryl's store be located somewhere else!!!!!!!
On a different note, I would like to state that I am so THANKFUL to not be in Stettler. There is things I miss, but I got a text today about some more drama that is going on. This is the second time something has come up and people needed to let me know. I appreciate knowing, but am so glad I am not still living in that world of who said what and what this person did. Just the lying and deceit is overwhelming. You can't trust anyone you would normally think you could. A friend of mine is sadly just figuring this out. I found out the hard way too, we all do I suppose. But that is why moving is a beautiful thing!!!! Fresh start at life, and no one knows me. It's like being invisible now, which can get lonely, but no obligation or worrying.
Today seems like it will be a good day.So far it has gone by pretty fast, brought stir fry rice for lunch, and more typing on here this afternoon. I think I am going to make some lists as well. Guess who's daughter I am? hahah It's a family thing. Us and our forgetful memories so lists for everything are a must. Thing is after I make the list I tend to forget it somewhere. So ultimately there is no point to the list other than to pass time.
Besides boredom, I like Viking. Most of the people I get along with and the people I don't well they just get my really fake smile. Some days I feel like strangling the people who call here but that is why I talk to myself to calm my anger. And then when I go home at night, I vent to Gizmo. He gets it. He doesn't have to work with dumb people or talk to dumb people all day but he senses my anger and cuddles more when I'm angry. I set up my new bed the other day...I bought it off a friend from work who was also nice enough to deliver it. I got a tv stand as well which is nice because now I can actually use my desk for my computer and my hope chest for storing blankets and such. The downside to my new bed is the material woven at the head board and base. Gizmo LOVES climbing all over it and clawing at it. So I tell him no and what does he do? He first, hides under the bed, (which he can now do) OR scratches my hand so it looks like I just had a battle with Freddy krueger. He is a sneaky little cat that one. I'm sure if there were cameras in my house. We would win money on Funniest Home Videos for sure!!
The last hour before lunch, hmmmm........I love America! hahah There is some new information that no one would have ever guessed. There is this American Exec. at work though. And I always wonder to myself if he maybe has a son.....that he could hook me up with....hey why not?!! I'll have to ask sometime. I finally bought a vaccum....I shouldn't have bought one before christmas but on the plus side, I could return it if that is what I was getting for a gift, I just couldn't wait. I realize its a month, but I need to vaccum often because of Gizmo and from the move in my carpet was dirty. I love carpet though!!! So happy my place has it almost the whole place. I am still loving my place. I could just hang out there all day. This is a great feeling because my old place felt homey too but more of a dungeon. Maybe it was the green color or the drop style ceiling, or just the fact that it was much smaller. Either way I feel more at home and enjoy my time there more now that I am in my new place.I can't wait for everyone to see the new place!!! Next Year, mom and dad should be out to visit, my friend Evelyn is coming in February, and my Grandma should be visiting in March/April maybe!! I'm sure Kyle will be out again sometime after Christmas as well. So I just cannot wait. My place is now big enough to set up the air mattress and still be able to move around and since there is carpet, I don't even mind sleeping on the floor with a bunch of blankets. Like the good ol days.
Half hour till lunch...........Luckily tomorrow is Friday.....I have a few plans this weekend but nothing too exciting! A few people from work are going to come check out my new place, I plan on going for a walk either around Elk Lake or up Mount Doug, or even just in my neighborhood. It is always a different view than when you are driving.
I don't know if I told the blog this or not, but my car was fixed finally. It was the starter and now it starts like a charm. I love it being reliable again. I know the wet weather out here can take its toll differently than our weather does in Alberta. Here in the morning when there is frost on the window, apparently if you dump a bowl of really hot water it will take the frost away no problem. Dallas told me this and says she likes to put it on Facebook and see all her friends from Saskatchewan freak out because this could never happen in SK or AB. Our windshields would crack instantly if we did this in -30 weather. Luckily it has not gotten below 0. hahaha OK Humorous story.......On Tuesday, me and Emmy went shopping downtown and of course we needed Marble Slab which is the most genius ice cream place in the world. I ended up locking my keys in my car again, (thanks to being my fathers daughter and locking everything up tighter than Fort Knox) so while waiting for the tow truck, I had called Kyle and mentioned that we were just sitting in the parkade eating ice cream. He laughed and later texted me that there would be no way people would be sitting outside eating ice cream in Alberta right then. Apparently it was cold but not here!!!
Well since I have a tv stand and what not I have room to set up my wii and everything now. It looks good and besides the fact that I don't have batteries I have been playing Wii in my spare time. I wanted to play the Wii Fit yesterday evening but couldn't because the batteries were dead and I realized that I do not have anything that uses AA batteries. Weird.....So I did my Ab Circle pro and we will see if this while before Christmas in all my days of boredom if I can lose some poundage. I know the real problem with weight is from Red Bull. My favorite drink. At this point I might even be able to give up iced tea as it has been a while since I made any of that. just Red Bull, Milk and water. Some might tell me to drink the sugar free Red Bull, but to them I would say gross!!! It is the same as regular pop.....If I can't drink the regular stuff i will not settle for O.K. tasting diet drinks. I know some people like them and I feel like they are an acquired taste because I can not drink them. I would rather give it up all together. So with all this considered we will see how much weight I can lose before Christmas. I am going to pick up batteries, and a spray bottle to fight off Gizmo after work.
This is all my information about life for now.....Until after lunch.... Ciao

November...
I CANNOT believe that it is already the last couple weeks of November!! Where in the world has time gone? It seems as though, ever since entering the "adult" world and the work force, the years don't slow down for anything. Well today of course ended up being a great day!! It always happens this way when your least expecting it and when it maybe isnt the best time. Oh well I will make things work and things will be just fine. After all, with my plans how can one go wrong!! Just need some pain meds and I'll be alright.
So today at work has been pretty busy. Which is so good cuz yesterday was so boring and I was just not in a good mood because of it. I'm cold but always seem to be cold up front. It happens when the door is being opened constantly and there is no way to regulate that so I have my little heater and I try to curl up nice and close to my desk to stay warm. It doesn't help that I don't have many long sleeve dress shirts. I have had quite a bit of typing to do for work, so between that, the mail, the ordering for this week for office supplies, and chatting with people, time has been going by pretty fast. I wish everyone used my recycling bin under my desk so that I could pull out some old document and retype it or something at this point.
The weather is rainy today. It started out so clear and sunny but now we have the clouds and rain. To my left though, I see some blue skies so the day might just get a little bit warmer. Some days I wish I was a good artist. You know how many good drawings I could make and maybe make money if I was any good throughout an 8 hour day!! Even if it was one per day that would pass some time. I just spun around on my swivel chair and now I can't see straight. Can you all just picture what this is like? haha It must be quite boring hearing about my boring days. I pretty much just ramble on about everything and nothing. So my car is done being fixed. it will have a reconditioned starter in it now so that will be good. At least I won't have to worry about being stranded anywhere.
I just started making a list of all the people I can think of that I miss chatting with as customers at the store. I will be going to get my car soon. Sorry for the randomiscity of this blog. Ciao~

Life......
Oh what a morning it has been, yes I went to bed at 8:00 last night, but after my day yesterday I felt no energy and no excitement to do anything. So what better way to vent and get anger out than to sleep it off!! Yet I wake up this morning and have all these missed calls and texts with people angry that I never answered. Who knew sleeping could get people so angry. Sheesh. After my shower I discover that Gizmo has peed on my bath mat yet again. I don't know what his deal is but this did not help me this morning. Then, I decided to clean his litter box....take it out to the garbage and what do I forget to do? Unlock the automatic locking mechanism on the very outside door. So here I am 6:10 standing outside with only my phone (luckily had that) and had to call the landlord to let me in!!! Does this sounds ridiculous enough yet???? For the next hour or so things flowed smoothly....until I got out to my car to start it. I suppose I haven't explained on here that my car has been giving me problems ever since I moved out here. For the most part it starts but runs a little shaky. Lately, it hasn't been wanting to start at all. Just won't turn over and it has taken me probably close to 15 or 20 times to try to start it. After finally getting it started, I made my way to work. I have dropped it off at a pretty reliable mechanic shop that is close to my work. I'm hoping by the end of the day they will at least have the problem figured out and if it is not too much money I can fix it. I had to walk to work, and its not like it was that far, just down the road a bit, but wearing these heels (flats) rubbing the back of my ankle, I will now have blisters to match my horrible day. I will more than likely have a loaner car tonight which is fine by me. It would be nice to drive a new vehicle with no issues for a change. So I don't know what kind of bad thing I did to deserve all this but rest assured I LEARNED MY LESSON!!
Today, I plan to be a little bit more productive when I get home. At least I will if my day gets just a little bit better. Funny thing about today is that while getting ready, everything worked perfect. I didn't straighten all my hair but it looks better than when I do, my makeup looks good, face is clearing up from the stress of last week and I didn't struggle to find a good outfit at all. How in the world does this happen on a day like today? All i can say is that for the past two months life has interesting. Not all bad things have happened but it has been pretty busy and not exactly what I would have expected if you had asked me about this in August. Mind you, this whole year has been just one thing after another.
My biggest sad part of living in B.C. happened in August. I lost a good friend this month and one that I was really looking forward to seeing when i moved out to B.C. Mitchell Fleischaker dated my friend Carley when I lived in B.C. 4 years ago. I knew him growing up but we were never that close. He was a good guy but we just had different friends I suppose. When I first lived out here with my sister, Carley and Mitchell were the people I spent all my time with. We had great times walking around and just talking about life. I miss his sense of humor and having that "big brother" around to rely on. Earlier this year, about February or March, Mitchell came to Stettler to visit before his trip to Cuba. I told him to stop by the Liquor Store and visit and to my surprise he did!!! Gave me a big hug when he walked in and we talked about me moving back to B.C. like we always did. A day later, he asked me to hang out but because I was with Kyle and he didn't want to do anything I declined. To this day, i don't think I will ever forgive myself. He stopped by one more time to say goodbye, gave me a hug, and I told him I would be moving to B.C. in the summer. If things had gone the way I HAD PLANNED, I would have been out here for the beginning of August. And ultimately I would have been here before he died. Things might have been different and he might still be here. Not like it was my fault or that I needed to be out here. But sometimes that is what helps people. Having someone to talk to...The other sad part about living out here now is that Carley lives in Vancouver and does not plan on moving back here anytime soon. I realize that we are still close but when your both working Monday-Friday, taking the ferry and planning out the trip can be long and not something that you would want to do every weekend. So now I feel like that is -2 friends. I wish I had my B.C. pictures from 4 years ago. I wish that they hadn't gotten deleted from my computer because they were all of me Carley and mitchell. Life will go on but everyday I think about this.
So today, as I sit here saddened by my thoughts, I contemplate what could have been. I would write about the plus side but there doesn't seem to be any of that today. So maybe what I'll do is think of something positive or wait for something exciting to happen, and write happy thoughts this afternoon.

Happy 70th to my Grandma!!
A shout out goes to my Grandma today, as it is her 70th birthday!! I am wishing her all the best and I wish I could be there to celebrate this milestone. I know she will be surrounded today by family and friends and she will be spoiled because she deserves it!! We have travelled together lots in the past few years and these trips have been such a highlight for me. We have made some great memories that will last a lifetime and we are quite adventerous on these trips. We have taken a road trip to see Mount Rushmore, we parasailed in Hawaii and also rode in a helicopter!!California was also very fun to get to go on all the Disneyland rides and the shopping!! Needless to say I have had the best years with my grandma and can not wait for our next big excursion. I love you very much Grandma!! Have a great Birthday!!!
Today I am back to work after a rather good weekend. It wasn't anything to exciting but I got to unpack in my new place and I love it so much. It is totally Americanized now so that means its home. Gizmo sure enjoys the space as well. He can run around and enjoys all the different windows he has. I unpacked most of my things on Saturday, got up early so it gave me lots of time. In the evening on Saturday, I hung out with Emmy and her boyfriend Dan, and we watched Jaws!!!! It was alot of fun and kind of funny to see that old movie and the acting was not like it is now. Sunday was also a good day. I skyped with Leia, visited with Kyle on the phone, put up some pictures in my house, and cooked a delicious supper and hung out with Emmy again!!! I cooked stir fried rice with chicken!!! It was so so good. First biggish meal I have made while being here. Emmy helped cut up the vegetables so it was a joint effort and we both enjoyed it!! I think if I always had alot of time to cook i would love it. To think up creations and be able to use lots of different vegetables is great!! I know mom was always limited to what she could put in and how big to cut the vegetables because of Dad but I love it now that I can do whatever. So that was my weekend. Nothing to exciting but I am sure glad that I moved on Thursday and had time to unpack in a couple days. It would have taken me all week if I had to wait to be done work before I started anything.
So now I am settled and love my new place. The one thing I am missing and notice it quite a bit more in this place, is that I don't have a couch or love seat or anything. I will be looking for one on the internet here soon. It would just be nice to have a place to sit besides my bed. I don't ever have alot of company but even with 2 people visiting like when Emmy and Dan were there on Saturday it would have been nice. For me personally, I don't need one really because I only watch movies, not tv, and that is usually only when I am going to sleep so it works good to have the tv in my room.
I have also noticed lately that I need to get excercising. I always said I would lots when I got out to BC but life gets in the way, and work takes up most of the time. It's handy that I have my ab circle pro and Wii Fit! I plan on using those alternatively throughout the week, and a walk if its nice out. I don't mind walking in the dark in my neighborhood, its a good area and near a school so chances are that there is just families and young couples living there.
As I am at work I get to watch the sun come up, and go down before 5:00. As I am typing this blog, I can see blue skys which is such a relief. It has been raining all morning and it just doesn't fit this great day that I am having. Everyone looks so sharp and well rested after the weekend and for the most part people are in a good mood today. Sometimes, I feel like a bit of a stalker working here. I am not by any means but because I sit central, everyone walks past, and I have the schedule for the meeting rooms so I can see when people are in meetings or not. unfortunatly I cannot see who is in each meeting although that may just be crossing the line anyway. I also like eavesdropping on people's conversations. Hey! I know it sounds rude but if they are going to have a clique meeting in my work area it is their own fault. There is no where that I can go so if you don't want me to listen go outside or somewhere secret.
Oh a West jet flight is just leaving....It is kind of cool that I can watch the flights come in and out. I guess Mom noticed my work building right away when she flew in. You really can't miss the big blue VIKING. And now the countdown begins!! 2 hours and 15 minutes left till I get to go home. I hope my evening plans don't get cancelled but what can I do? If it happens it happens I guess. I always remember Candice and Leia complaining about how out here people don't stick to their plans. I mean people did that in Stettler too but thats different. I didn't really care cuz I was working so much in Stettler but here I want to get to know new people and hang out and have friends but with people cancelling all the time how can one accomplish anything? Besides people breaking plans, I don't have too much to complain about lately. Life is good, love my new place, Gizmo is happy, and I think we are both healthy... the one thing that isn't healthy is the sounds my car makes when trying to start. My plan tonight is to call this Clair Downey Service on Canora Rd. by my work because I heard they were a good mechanic shop and get the car looked at this week. I hope they realize that I'm not loaded like lots of people out here and don't charge me for anything. I just want them to call me with the problems and let me talk to the real mechanic which is my father of course. In some cases it would be nice to get a new vehicle and have it be more reliable than my neon but it will be a sad day when I say goodbye to this neon. There is so many great memories in it and fun road trips that I had. I can't even imagine what a new car would be like. No worrying about things like is my car going to start this morning? How would I get to work if not? and why is it making these sounds? hahah. This is the one time I wish my dad was closer. We would have this looked at in no time and could fix it cheaper too I'm sure. Oh well, if I do get a new vehicle it will be from Alberta because it would be cheaper and then maybe the rentals can drive it out and make a visit of it!!
Ok, well I'm pretty sure this blog took up a few hours of my time today which is always my goal. I am definetly going to invest in some coloring books I think. Or maybe some crossword books or old notes that I could type up. Don't get me wrong I love writing on the blog and finishing emails while I am at work. But I doubt that you all want to read about each and every painfully boring day I have. So, this is it for today I guess, I do have an email that I should write to my sister in Belize. Till next time folks!!

HOW EMBARRASSING
Well I just made the funniest mistake. There is these students from UVIC that have had a few meetings with people today so far. So Leona tells me to let Peter(the next interviewer) know that they are running a bit behind. That's all fine and dandy. My mistake was that they are with something called MBA but over the phone I assumed NBA. hahaha So i emailed Peter with not a care in the world claiming that these NBA students were running behind. Oh my goodness. I can only imagine the people making fun of me for days to come on that one. Besides that, like I have said before, Paging is the worst and is also very embarrassing. By now, I have practiced lots of the names and so it doesn't get to ridiculous but my first week here I can guarantee that everybody had this secret inside joke about the stupid receptionist who stutters on the phone and who can't pronounce names. I get even more nervous when I hear laughing right after my page. That is never a good sign.
Recently at work, I have started to notice that I talk to myself. I just get so bored sometimes and if no one walks past that I normally talk to then I am just talking to myself. Gotta be careful though, there could be anyone around the corner. Oh my goodness I know Movember is for a good cause but its so so so so disgusting. Some people just should not have facial hair. It makes everyone look so scary. I will definetly not be walking anywhere at night anytime soon. haha
It is now starting to get dark so early. This I hate because I feel like everything should be closed to so I'm stuck in an office all day staring outside as the sun rises and sets. boo hiss. And my favorite visitor just left for the day so now I'm stuck typing this probably super boring blog to you guys and awaiting my clean time in 9 minutes. Takes me 2 minutes to clean literally and then sometimes I like to sneak out a minute early. oo how rebellious of me. NOT barely anyone is here at that point anyway. Everyone is leaving now and it is so sad.
Another thing that makes me rage, is the set of lights on Beacon(main road in Sidney) where it meets the highway. It always seems to take forever and I just do not have patience for that kind of thing. Especially at lunch when I only have 30 minutes. The only nice thing about lunch is it is at 1:00 usually so the lunch hour rush has been to where they need to be and left. I even made it to Subway and back to work in that time. Of course the downside is you must eat your lunch really really fast in order to have time for everything. I suppose if I hadnt packed all my 'Glad" containers then I could have brought spinach salad like I had planned and purposefully bought for work this week. What a genius I am. I guess it is that time to clean. I hope ya'll enjoyed my venting about bad things and stories about good things. I won't be writing tomorrow as I have to move all day but Friday you can be updated on how the move went and how I like my new place. I'm personally just worried about the first sleep. Although I have Gizmo, it is always a weird feeling waking up and not remembering where you are or should be. I had that feeling the first night in my current place after mom and dad left. Wish me luck!!
Cheers

Exciting day gone bad...
Well so much for my fabulous day. Besides the fact that work is going by much slower than yesterday, I keep getting cancels from friends who I make plans with. No wonder Candice and Leia got so frustrated all the time. You build yourself up for these things and get excited and then what? Gets cancelled. BOOO Whatever, such is life. Full of disappointments.
I guess the good part of today, if we are going to act positive, is that I move tomorrow!! YAY! I have to sleep at my old place tonight, but I will be packing up the last of things and moving everything to the door. Fridge and freezer stuff is such a pain. I will have to just empty a laundry basket for that. But of course that will be last loaded first into the new place. I have a friend helping me with the furniture and stuff which is so nice. I'm grateful that he is at least free during the week other wise I'm not sure where I would be tomorrow with everyone working and what not. His name is Chris, he rents a room in Dallas's home in Sidney and has been there since I left 4 years ago I believe. At least now someone can help me with the furniture because I was thinking a desk and bookshelf might be a little hard to manage by myself.
I'm contemplating taking Friday off but I just don't know what to do. I guess I will know how I feel tomorrow and how much I get done in my house. It would be nice to have another long weekend to get settled in and enjoy my new place.
I think the next day at work since I am running out of things to type out, I am going to count how many people walk past my desk throughout the whole day!!! So be ready to be shocked or laughing at me at how boring this place can be.
Today, I was looking at pictures of me and my grandma's trips to all over. I really want to go on a trip soon!! It also just hit me that I don't think I ever put my pictures from Mexcio with my parents on Facebook....how weird. How does one forget something like that. That was at the beginning of this year!!! I guess I have some printed off and so I just forgot. Not everything needs to posted on Facebook anyway. it's getting to be over rated. I never thought I would say this but because of the job I am at right now I am happy that I finally got a Iphone. It passes the time like no one's business and thank goodness for games. Luckily even though Facebook is blocked on the company's network, I can still somewhat access it through my phone. HA take that Viking! The one problem with this is that apparently once in use IPHONEs do not have a long battery life., And since there is no where for me to charge my phone here I have to stop at 40% so I can get home with it still alive. Boo on whoever didn't put a plug in near my desk.
Back to the trip thing, I really wish me and grandma could go on another trip soon. We always have so much fun and I really enjoy every moment I get to spend with her. We are great travelling companions and everytime we make so many great memories! I am slightly stumped on our next destination. I think she should choose because I suggested Mount Rushmore. We both like travelling through the United States so that means I am ready to go anywhere. San Francisco would be fun I think, or the Grand Canyon and surrounding area. I don't know if this year will work for either of us, I suppose depending on the time of the year. Usually we go in April which is the perfect time but she just had knee surgery a month or so ago and I definetly do not have the finances ready right now. Being on my own and all. Even if I had a roommate I would be able to save some money I'm sure but then of course there is other problems to deal with. I would have a roommate if I could find a good friend to room with but most around here already have a place or live with their parents still.
Oh my goodness. I just realized it is almost break time again!! Guess I should sign off before that!
Talk to ya'll later!

YAY! Life is good.
Well I have had an interesting couple of months in B.C. so far. But besides me special visits last month from Mom and Kyle, November has got to be my favorite month!! I didn't update my blog over the weekend but during that time, Emmy and I viewed a ground level basement suite in Royal Oak. On Sunday, I started packing all of my things because I so wanted that basement suite that we saw, and on Monday, I got the call saying that I can move in on the 15th. So here I go again, I get to move into a new place and my favorite part of that is unpacking!! I get new places to decide where to put things. And now I am hoping that this place will be pretty permanent. Royal Oak is a great location. it isn't downtown but about 15min to downtown and 15 minutes to Sidney. So a nice central spot and pretty close to Elk Lake, which I like to walk around. It won't be as far a drive to Mount Doug either I don't think. The only sad part about moving is that I like the park near my house now and every morning I go to a certain store and am getting to be known as a regular.
Gizmo is sure going to love the new place though. The window sills are wide so he can fit his tubby little body on there and my room window faces the street so he will enjoy the view from there. Unfortunatly, this means that I can't use the windows as shelves because he tends to knock my picture frames off when they get in his way. There is also just a lot more room to run around and the kitchen has an island so that will be something new and exciting for him to run around. Needless to say I am very excited to be in my new place in less than two days and I look forward to putting some pictures up on here so ya'll can see my new place!!
And besides that I just had a great end to my day. :)

I am running out of things to talk about today...
3 hours left in my day and I can't wait to get out of here!!! The day has been going by pretty fast and I guess the whole week in general. We have had Vietnamese delegates here all week and so everyone is busy busy. It's kind of nice because time goes by faster. Not important....
Oh my goodness what to say??.....Well I got a piece of cake before lunch time from a guy. I think his name is Sam but I'm not 100% on that one. He doesn't smile much but everytime he walks by, I smile and say hello. He said the cake was to make me smile so that was exciting. That was my lunch too, as I have been too lazy to go get groceries for lunch stuff and have not yet cashed either of my checks for the past couple weeks. Oops. Guess it will be nice to have them in there now. I'll look rich maybe!!
I never know what to do after work. Today I will be just driving into town in time for my coffee date but tomorrow? What should I do? I have Saturday planned out and Sunday, Monday are packing and cleaning. But after work on Friday I am already out in Sidney and so I best stay here if thats what I want to do. Its dark anyway so its not like I can do much outside when I get home. Hmm...Oh the decisions of life. Maybe go for a long walk alone while I still live in a good area. Spend the evening with Gizmo I suppose. He will be sad when we move. He sure likes his windows at the place I'm at right now. The place last night would have been perfect for him. Still might be it just depends on what else I find and see this weekend.
I am bored out of my mind today. Time is going pretty fast but right now my break couldnt get here any sooner. It's kind of annoying that people are always late for my breaks and lunch. Yet I am early at coming back for everything. I realize that I am at the bottom of the totem pole but that is no reason to be late for my breaks and such. Whatever not too much longer that I am here anymore now. I hope to be done December 1st but if not I know 100% that I will NOT be here after Christmas. I guess it would be nice to be here till Christmas break because they get two weeks off but I won't get the paid break like the rest of the employees because I am still considered a temp and I doubt that Express would pay me for that break. I think after Christmas I might try to get a job at a liquor store or look on my own. I am sure Express is still looking but since I haven't heard anything in quite a while I figure why not look for something myself.
I realized the other day that my muscles are slowly fading away. I am getting weaker and weaker every day that I work at Viking. I guess that is what happens when you sit at a desk all day. I miss the store and all the shipments and lifting beer. Sure it got tiring, but at least it was a challenge or at least I could challenge myself. i do recall a few times where I lefted 2X 24pk bottles of beer. So i guess 48. It was great. Or 3 cases of 12pks. Always something new to try or someone new to talk to. I really need to find a job I love again for pete's sake!!! 15 more minutes until my break!! YAY! Probably more like 25 minutes because she will be late but whatever. Her being late for my break always makes the 4-5 hour go fast. 9 minutes!!! Woo and Sam just walked by again. hahah ok be back in a bit folks.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!
Today is my father's birthday. He turns 51 although I'm not sure he would want me to announce that. I wish him the best birthday ever and I wish I was there to celebrate with him. I miss working with him. We made every work day a fun day and I know he misses our chats, even though I sometimes used them to get out of working. He might not admit it but I think he misses having little Gizmo out in the shop or down in the basement when he is invoicing! I sure miss our discussions about life and the jokes he would tell. I can't wait to see you at Christmas Dad!! I hope your birthday is a great one and hopefully mom is making you a double batch of popcorn tonight!!
As for my day, it has been going pretty good so far. Last night was good too. I went to view the two places. I liked them both but would prefer the basement suite as that has everything included. It is in a good location, ground level so I shouldn't have a problem with water again, and just an all around nice place to live. The problem I found with it, one the lady who is in there now seems like a bit of a hoarder which worries me only because I do NOT like rodents or spiders and both of those enjoy crowded and messy places to hide. Eeek! The place is very clean though so as long as I could view it before move in or before I hand any money over. The other issue with this place is that I can only move in at the end of the month. It is a little over my budget as well but I could make it work if I could move in soon. That way I could still get some of this months rent back from my landlord now and D.D. before the 15th. Oh well, Me and Emmy are going to look at another place on Saturday at 2:00 and I hope that this one will be available ASAP. I will be having a very busy week next week. Might not work a few days so I can move.
Tonight, I have a coffee date with a friend and need to make it to the bank this evening. I feel like I have hardly been home at all lately. I have been really busy with viewing places but I haven't eaten at home in days and basically just a place to sleep during the week. I am very happy about having Monday off from work. Anyday off from here is a great day! It will be a busy one, doing laundry and getting some more things packed. I hate to live out of boxes for a while but it would be nice to have everything ready to be moved. It is also very crowded in my place having everything in one room. Wish me luck :)

Obama won booooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well as I am sure all of you have heard by now. Obama also could be known as Osama....who really knows....won the election. What a disgrace. I'm sorry America but I don't know what you guys were thinking. I suppose between him and Romney...most people possibly didn't care and so they just went with what was familiar. At least I hope that's what happened. Or maybe Osa oops Obama poisened the people of my favorite country. I suppose it's not all bad. Obam literally did NOTHING for his first 4 years so I imagine that we can expect the same from him this term. All he wants is his 8 years of fame so let him have it. In my opinion, many presidents in history would probably roll over in their graves if they could see their country today. I took some quotes from an article I was reading at work today. Apparently Obama says to America "the best is yet to come" I should hope so!! The people of America have only been waiting 4 years for you to do something and now miraculously the best is yet to come sometime in these 4 years. PFFFFT is what I say to that. What a joke. So he's a good speaker, but guess what....so was Hitler and I think we all remember that one. Another interesting piece from the article was that 'About 4 in 10 said the economy is on the mend, but MORE than that said it was stagnant or getting worse four years after the near-collapse of 2008'. I may not agree with Romney's choice in beliefs but as a republican, I believe he could have helped the economy through helping private enterprises and the free market system in general. The commercials were stating things against Romney such as how he wanted to lower the taxes on the rich. Even if he didn't do that though, just kept the tax the same, things could start to get better. After all, the hard working people who go to work everyday and aren't to proud to even just get a job at McDonalds are tax payers who pay for the people that Obama wants to help without making them work.
Alright I feel like I'm starting to not make sense but for those of you on my side. It should make perfect sense. I only have 8 minutes left of work and I am so excited. Tonight me and Emmy are going to check out 2 places in Victoria and just chill out a bit. It's so nice to have a friend to hang out with besides Gizmo. Tomorrow, I have work and then a coffee date with an old friend. Better go talk to ya'll later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

48 minutes!!
Well folks, my day is almost done again. Today was a strange but rather good one. It was strange because of the number of calls wanting to be transferred to people who I rarely transfer calls to. Probably some of those people I have never even met. For the most part everyone stays in their own little area and not much mingling between departments. I tend to see the same people all the time walking up and down the stairs going to and from meetings. I had to page quite a few people which is probably the worst part about my job but I am getting better at pronouncing names. You wouldn't believe the types of names on the phone list. Never have I been more sure that parents should stick to normal baby names. I am hoping I win the lottery by the time the babies that have been born the last couple years are working ages. I know parents want to be different in naming kids but DONT. Who wants to anounce for an Apple something or other or fatine or carmine. I now love the simple names like Mark Smith or John whatever. At least any human being could pronounce that!!!
I have a visitor at 4:30 and then after that only 15 minutes. Unfortunatly today I can't look forward to 5:00 quite as much but tomorrow you just never know. By 4:30 most people have left the office and again the spotlight begins. Tomorrow I get to go view a place on the other side of the highway when driving into Victoria. It is an apartment but cats are allowed and I have to pay my own power. My main issue with an aparment is the laundry situation. I like to be able to do that anytime but with coin operated it will be more expensive and less convenient.
10 minutes to go...........

Smile and no one will see how broken you are inside :)
I am not sure why it seems strange to people that I smile so much but I do. What kind of world do we truly live in? I get asked quite a bit why I am always smiling. What I would like to know is why are they not smiling. Can we not just put on our fake smiles as we greet each other throughout a day or week? Sure its not real but its what people want to see and it could make someone's day. We have enough frustrations in life and everyone has there bad days but no one wants to hear complaining all the time. A lot of people I work with will walk by day after day and not crack a smile whatsoever. Really? you can't even muster up a fake smile. Whatever thats my venting on that. Apparently some people have never had to work in retail or maybe they did but just sucked at customer service.
So I am sitting at work with 2 and a half hours to kill. Tonight will be pretty uneventful. I have to go to the bank, call places to rent, eat supper, and then to bed. How exciting!!! 2 hours and 15 minutes.......I will probably have to start a new blog after my 3:30 break because I have to close down everything that is secretive to the rest of the employees. I don't want them reading about my boredom. :) Funny thing that just hit me. There is this creech asian guy who works at Viking. His name is Eric and the funny thing is when I smile he probably thinks we are of the same decent. Leia is convinced I look Asian when I smile so I'm sure they do too!! Anyways on that note. I'll talk with ya'll later. Break time soon and I don't wanna leave my blog open on the desktop.

How exciting!!! 2 hours and 15 minutes.......I will probably have to start a new blog after my 3:30 break because I have to close down everything that is secretive to the rest of the employees. I don't want them reading about my boredom. :) Funny thing that just hit me. There is this creech asian guy who works at Viking. His name is Eric and the funny thing is when I smile he probably thinks we are of the same decent. Leia is convinced I look Asian when I smile so I'm sure they do too!! Anyways on that note. I'll talk with ya'll later. Break time soon and I don't wanna leave my blog open on the desktop.

What is with dreams?
Hello! I'm back and can you guess? Yep still at work. Another 45 minutes to kill. What I would like to know is what is up with dreams? How come no matter what setting I'm in or who I come into contact with, somehow I have these crazy dreams about people around me. I don't believe they mean too much but it still is strange. Like out of 400+ people who work at Viking and I have had a dream about the 2 or 3 who are kind of mysterious because they don't say much to me. If it's some kind of joke it's definetly not funny. I just remember this happening the last time I was living in B.C. I was working at Adrienne's Tea Garden at the time and I remember for 2 weeks straight I had a dream about one person in particular but each dream something different happened. I would really like to get to the bottom of this. That is why psychology is so interesting. I must invest in a class or something before I go crazzyyyy.
On a different note, 36 minutes to go, and I'm sitting here sitting here sitting here. Besides the fact of boredom at work. I would like to state that I can not even try to do something productive because I can't leave my desk because of the phone. Which is funny, I have never really liked talking on the phone and have some kind of weird stutter when I am on the phone yet I decided to take an administrative course. I guess practice makes perfect but its hard. PAGING is the worst!! Sometimes I have to page that someone left their lights on or some of the weird names of people who work here. How embarrassing!!!!!!! 32 minutes to go. Living alone + working pretty much alone = talking to myself more frequently and on occasion I will answer myself. Oh life, don't get me wrong it is so worth it to be living out here but at the same time I find myself going more insane everyday. I hang out with Dallas and Emmy lots to keep communication with the civilized world and I am constantly texting people but most days I sit up front in an office where people only walk by on their way somewhere, and drive home alone, and live alone. I talk to Gizmo but he doesn't answer me either. I guess this is one way to find out who I am or can be. 18 minutes.......
The time of year has come when it is super dark till late morning and early darkness in the evening. This is just lovely because when its dark out my glass office/ entry way has lights and now I will be in the spotlight more. Like I said before, my main job here, answer the phone and sit there and look pretty. They maybe wouldn't explain the job that way but that's how she goes. I am in the spotlight now and I don't like it. I don't like how everyone can see what I'm doing but I have no idea about anything that goes on upstairs. I have taken a tour in the back Hangar in our building and that was pretty cool. Just a bunch of little stations like a sweat shop hahah Each person has their own tasks to be completed with their own bolt and nut bins. They make their own tools here and one of these days. Natasha from document control who is probably the coolest person working here, is going to show me where she works and the "Forbidden" upstairs where the engineers sit and the CEO. Apparently the Document Control room is like a huge library with filing cabinets and she said there is something similar to a big sliding ladder like in a library! So cool I hope I get to go on it. 12 minutes......... hmmm what else to say about life......Well there is these Vienamese people here touring the building and they just bought a plane from us. Kind of freaks me out but I won't express my opinion on the situations going on with this company and many others in the world right now. Well I have 9 minutes and it is time for clean up clean up everybody do your share. haha Ya right its just me doing it but time to clean!! Talk to you tomorrow folks!!!

Still at Viking, looking for a new place to move.
Well folks..life has gotten pretty boring in the last week. Before that though, my mom came out to visit and so did Kyle. Those were both really fun visits but because of my Monday-Friday schedule they seemed too short. i guess that is just how life works.
My house recently flooded ( just the floor covered not too deep) and so the Landlord has been working on that since Tuesday last week. They are almost finished fixing it but mean while my whole house is in the main living room area. How scary but it is kind of neat living in a small area. Either way, I am trying to find a place to move into ASAP and so far no luck in the good areas of Victoria. I have to still call a few tonight so I can update you on that later. My job is going pretty good. I am not a huge fan but the people seem to like me which makes it super hard. Typically this is the type of job that most people would love. Great pay, great benefits, reasonable hours, and a big company. But for me I would prefer to be working back at the 59th Street Liquor Store, where I enjoyed everyday of work and had the best boss in the world. I do like smaller companies because it is more personable and easy to get to know people. I am also not very interested in airplanes and to top that off. I sit at my desk and as I told mom, I get paid $14 to sit at the front desk and look pretty. Cuz thats about the extent of my work. As you can tell, I have time to type out the longest blog possible if I really wanted to waste some time. Most days I sit here thinking of all the productive things I could be doing and so then I make list after list after list. I plan out my days, draw pictures and answer emails. Of course the two most time consuming Internet sites are not allowed, Facebook and You Tube but I can work around that. I also look forward to each break I get because I get to be outside or doing whatever other than sitting in one spot.
Gizmo is doing good, a little stressed out about our house but who isn't? haha He liked when I had to dry out my bed so I had the mattress on 3 kitchen chairs and it was his own island. I am excited for Christmas and to see certain people. But I know I will be so happy this year when that return flight has my name on it. We don't want a repeat of 4 years ago now. Well my break is soon and I don't want anyone to read this blog while they walk past me. So I'll talk to you more tomorrow at work. I think I just figured out my new past time at work. YAY for blogs!! Besides, there is only so many American flags you can draw and color before the red pencil crayon diminishes before your eyes.
Adios
