December 13

I have got to say that this will probably be my most boring day this week. It has been fairly busy with phone calls this morning but that tends to die down in the afternoon. I had to keep telling myself this morning, 2 more days and I need the money, 2 more days and I need the money. Other wise today would have been a sick day. I just don't have the one person I look forward to seeing here today and that puts kind of a dampner on my day. Oh well it is almost mail time and then just to get through the afternoon. I have my hopes up for tonight but in the back of my head I have to tell myself, brianne, don't you be getting all exciteable for another let down. So I am currently inbetween happiness and excitement vs. disappointed Brianne.

No offence to my Mother or Father here, but I strongly dislike my name. At least as far as answering phones and having to say it one million times a day. Couldn't I just have a nice short name?? I would shorten it to Bri, but that somewhat disturbs me and just sounds like an unfinished or made up name. I should go with Briannie, like Mrs. McComish would call me. No, that just sounds kiddish. I'm pretty sure it sounds like Bran when I'm speaking on the phone because I try and be quick about it. I just hate saying the same old same old. Oh well....such is life....

FUNNY STORY!!!!!!! So Viking Air has a Calgary branch as well located at their airport. There is not quite as many workers but still quite a few. They are constantly phoning here on conference calls or to verify information. And every now and then certain people from the Calgary office will come to Victoria for a few days. Well this has happened 2 times in the last couple days, there were what looked to me like visitors but they had a Viking badge. Adam was the first guy and as he walked in said, "Good Morning Brianne", I just kind of stopped and was confused. They know me because I talk to them all the time on the phone. Then he asked if I remembered his voice. how weird is that? Do you realize how many people I talk to in a day. The second guy, Gregory said the same thing but luckily he didn't ask me if I remembered his voice. That just weirds me out. Funny thing about Adam though is that I do remember his voice now, after talking with him for a bit but not when he first just said good morning. Another funny part to this story was when I was getting coffee one day while he was on his lunch break, and he said it was funny to talk to me on the phone because he would thank me for tranferring him and I always say thank you back. So thank you to thank you. haha I guess that is kind of funny but at least I am polite on the phone.

Well it turned out to be a pretty busy day so far. I have had a ton of visitors and a tour that was this afternoon of 14 people. Its almost 3:00 and that is a terrific sign. I will soon get my break and more people will leave so I will get to visit with them. Then the tour people should be leaving at 4:00 and so to get them all set to leave, clean up passes, glasses, and get them signed out that will almost take me to 4:30 and then clean up, then the best time HOME TIME!!

It has been kind of awkward today, because everyone is talking about the Christmas party that is happening tomorrow. There is one girl who I thought I would sit with and now I almost feel bad if I don't go because she came down and said that she wasn't bringing anyone either so she would save me a seat. And everyone is like are ya ready to party? Well Yeah I am but I am broke so how is that going to work. just go for the food?? HA! But I just don't know what to do. Then some dinky guy from Hangar 1 was like oh well if you don't go you know that you have to pay 50$ refund type thing. Just because it is catered. I don't think I would go for the supper anyway. And technically they can't take it off my pay check because I still get paid through the agency. It is just a gong show and I don't know what to do yet. And now if I don't go, people have been talking about it all day and I keep saying that I will be there so I will end up being a liar and since I need the money I have to be here all week next week but I don't know how I am going to do that if I lied and said I would be there. I'm kind of hoping everyone is too drunk to remember and maybe I'll say that I skipped the meal and showed up for a bit. No one will know the difference. I am sure there will be enough people that little ol me wouldn't be noticed anyway.

So I suppose that is what I will do. That or decide to go....which is doubtful....group events were never my thing...I just don't know what I will use as an excuse. Too bad I don't have 2 jobs and school like I used to. That was always the best excuse!!! No one is going to get mad at someone who works that hard. Trying to tell these people it is because I'm broke wouldn't work to well. I probably shouldn't tell people that anyway but these are all hoity toity Van Island people. Even the young punks who work on the floor seem well off. This is my dilemma for the week. Let me know if you have any devious ideas about my excuse why I wasn't there. I hope I don't have to lie too much tomorrow. I really don't care if they are mad that I didn't go its just that I don't want to hear all about it on Monday why weren't you there? why weren't you there?  why weren't you there? I almost have to fake a death just to get past Monday. That or actually show up for ten minutes then sneak out. Oh grrr I just don't know!!!!

Anyway, i am strictly just rambling now wasting some time but I am going to do some cleaning now and get ready to go home. OK before I start rambling again. Goodnight!! thats it.
