2 weeks left to endure

I don't exactly know what this blog is going to be about today. I am pretty bored already but really hoping that today goes by fast. All the decorations went up well and the pizza was delicious. They had alot of it done by the time I was done work at 5 but that ended up being a little bit awkward because I was just sitting here doing nothing except waiting for the phone to ring basically. I could have started helping but would have had to run for the phone anyway so I chose to stay seated.

After that was all said and done, I went and hung out with Emmy for a bit, talked about life, and then made my way home. Dallas has given me a mirror which is nice. Its not a full length mirror but if I stand it against the wall then I can at least get ready with it or check out the full outfit. This is very important to my day.

I have had it. I know Fridays are always supposed to be the happy day of the week but at this point I am so fed up I just want the day to go fast to get the heck out of here. Yes I have exciting plans this evening so that should automatically make my day 100% better but it doesn't. Today, I feel like a prisoner at Viking. I may as well just skip having a break because everyone is late for mine, yet everyone else gets to take off whenever. I know I have talked about this before and it probably shouldnt bother me as much as it does. But I waited ten extra minutes after my supposed break time. I can't plan or do anything because no one is ever on time. Maybe its an island thing being all relaxed and what not. I may as well just not take any breaks at all. I also found out that I can't bring Emmy to my Christmas Party now because no one under the age of 19 is allowed in. This is stupid!! I knew there would be a bar but that doesn't mean that people can't be there. I just thought there would be some kind of wrist band or something. If I did end up going, which I AM NOT GOING TO, I would be some ticked off to put it nicely if I walked in and saw people with their babies. Oooo boy I would be fuming at this point. Like apparently its too big of a drunk fest that my friend can't go because she isn't 19 yet your crying annoying baby can be in this atmosphere. NO! Get a babysitter or miss out.

Then today as I always do on Friday, I fill out my time card for Express, Leona always gets Edward to sign it and then faxes it off. So I read it today and he has always put excellent when it comes to my work in the week. Well this week he only put Satisfactory. It doesn't hurt my feelings none, but what I would like to know is why he rated it that this week. And now I'm curious as to what he put last week. I barely look because it is usually the same. I did hear though, that he was Bipolar, a JW and that he usually only hires his kind...meaning JWs. I have also worked with these people when I worked at DanD Variety in Alberta. They can be a weird bunch. And they tend to stick together so this makes sense that Edward would only hire his people. Leona also confirmed this when she said she got the job through Edward. So much for telling kids, work hard at something and you will succeed. The real teaching should be its all about who you know as a general statement and as far as Viking, its all about which cult you belong too.

It is also totally like a high school here. All the petty critics in each department and the cliques that go for lunch together. I just have to laugh as I observe all this from my desk. In regards to my title of my blog, the 2 weeks left to endure is the 2 weeks left of work. I can't miss any day because I need the money yet I can not wait until the Christmas break from work. My last day is the 21st and don't have to be back to work until the 2nd. I guess there is still perks to a 9-5 type job. Well it is 2:00 and I only have 3 more hours to go. Lots have already left for the day of course, but still enough around that I am not too bored.

A secret of mine was that while we were decorating yesterday, I told them that we should hang something from the stupid spotlight that hangs above me. Cindy didn't like the idea of course but Scott did it anyway and I love it. Since the Christmas balls are shiny, the light mainly reflects off of them and then I get to sit in the shadows a bit. Hey! If its only for part of this month I may as well get some protection from that stupid spotlight. Like why is it even there?

I don't mean to sound racist or stereotypical but like really? The people who call, some can't even speak English properly and I just have to laugh. I just answered a call and in his accent he was like "can I make contact with the Carmine" like who says that? Its "May I speak with Carmine, or extension 2277 please." I also don't really care when they start explaining who they are or what they want. Like just tell me the stinkin number or name people!!! I personally can't help you any further so you are just wasting your breath. I had this one spanish or something chick call recently and she kept wanting to talk to Edward. Well he was on the phone so I just asked if she would like to call back or maybe leave a voicemail. She could not manage to understand either concept. So I just cut her off and sent her to our multilingual parts people. DO you want to leave a message? How much more simply or slower could I have said this to make it make sense. Bottom line, if you can't speak perfect English or understand English you should not be working in any public workplace, fast food restaurant, or on any telephone!!!!!!!

Well that was my venting session for this week. On the plus side I now only have 2 1/2 hours left and it is almost the count down until my break. And there is this really good looking worker in the lobby right now. They are from TYCO the security and alarm people. Seems single, now the question is does he happen to be American..... hahahah Not a whole lot of texting going on today, so everyone must be pretty busy. I have to get groceries after work and haul in my new mirror that I was too lazy to bring in last night. I also have to go home first and get my pay check as well and start paying off some debt and some Christmas presents on Saturday!! I hope everyones weekend is good. I'll talk to ya''l on Sunday possibly and if not Monday!!!
