Hoorah for me!

Well I got a job which is one of the reasons why you haven't from me in awhile, that and I am a lazy ass. I have been working the afternoon shift at a warehouse so my days have consisted of eating, working, sleeping and trying to recover from the previous days work. I originally thought that the change of pace would be cool and it would be nice to have a change of scenery since I have never worked in a warehouse before but, now I think I have had enough and I am ready for my comfy office job again. Anyone out there want me? teehee.

The job is very fast passed, and really hard. I spend most of the day running my ass off and stressing about the millions of boxes I am behind. Basically what I do is work in front of a board that says what box I am supposed to fill and then there are a whole bunch of lights in front of product that will turn on and tell me how many I need to put in the box. Now I have probably about 4 or 5 boxes behind that one and a lot of the product I have been getting lately is suctioned in boxes making it extremely hard to get out of to put in the box and very time consuming. After almost a full week of doing this job I have three blisters on my feet and millions of cuts and cardboard burns all up my arms. Let me just say when I get paid I have worked hard for every cent.

My old job still hasn't given me my last cheque or my vacation pay which is extremely frustrating I don't have time nore should I have to chase after them. I believe there is some sort of labor board or something I am supposed to call but really I wake up around 1pm, I work at 4pm, I have to make dinner, eat and clean up, when the fuck do I have time to chase after people to do what they are supposed to do in the first place.

Oh and the hydro company was nice enough to inform us that something is broken on our meter and we have until January 17,2007 to fix it or we will no longer have hydro, yeah us!

I tried writing on here about two weeks ago about the fact that I was getting teeth pulled and how nervous I was etc. but then it deleted the whole thing and I got frustrated and said fuck it.

A lot has happened lately so bare with me. I got four teeth removed in order to prepare for the braces being put on. My dentist said it is easier to get two removed then two weeks later the other two. I was absolutely terrified to get this procedure done, although hearing him refer to the procedure as wiggling them out made me feel somewhat better about it, that maybe it was just wiggling them out and I was over reacting. The needles were the part that I was definately not looking forward to, that I knew without a doubt that it would be extremely painful.

The procedure wasn't that bad, later on was the hard part. I was in a ton of pain and it was a 20 minute wait at the pharmacy to get my tylenol 3's and then I got home and had a fever from the pain and was shaking. The tylenol three's were not working and I had to wait 4 hours before I could take anything else. For the next week I was in intense pain only to find out that the holes didn't clot properly and I had dry sockets, let me tell you not the funnest experience I have ever had. The second two were not as bad as the first, the needles hurt like hell but the rest of it was fine and in two days the first two hurt more then the second two.

This past Monday I got my braces on, it wasn't painful at all and I was surprised how quickly they were put on. About an hour after I had them put on a bracket came off (not my fault), then I go back get it put back on and two hours later another one comes off, so I go back again, and then that night another one pops off. I am getting so annoyed with this whole thing especially since I have been living off of soup so this definately was not my fault.

Shortly after my third bracket broke I got a call from my work notifying me that I was fired and that it "just wasn't working out". Can I just tell you that after getting braces put on and being right before Christmas their timing couldn't have been any better. I am really pissed off about the situation and how I was never given any warning but I can't change what happened so there is no sense in wasting my energy being pissed off about it.

This weekend I am going to Darryl's Christmas party for his work and my hair has gone all brassy and my roots are showing so I have to get my hair dyed. I am thinking about going with highlights but I am going to be box dying it so I am kind of nervous to fuck around with highlights, especially since the last time I tried it I ended up with orange hair. hmm....we'll see.

Can I have Christmas with no snow this year?.....Thanks!

I am in a very Christmassy mood lately. Everytime flyers come in I look at stuff that I want on my Christmas list and things that I want to buy to decorate my house. If Darryl even heard I was thinking about this he would kill me. We are really broke right now what with doing the basement, me getting braces and a bunch of bills that are coming due this month. I cannot wait to do some Christmas baking and shopping. Last weekend we bought a Christmas tree and I want to put it up now. I know I should wait until December but some how I think I wont be able to wait. Darryl is going to be putting up our Christmas lights around the house soon whichis super cheerie! Yesterday we planned our Christmas party for work, and Darryls work Christmas party is coming up so long story short I am just bursting with Christmas cheer. I think me and chingy are going to go Christmas shopping this weekend which is you ask Darrylwe can't afford but some people owe us money that I will cash in on and presto we can afford Christmas shopping...lol!

In reality I am probably just going to be priming the basement this weekend and trying to get everything started with that. Darryls parents are going to be coming to visit soon so we can get everything we are going to need to work on the basement over the Christmas holidays so, I am hoping to have the whole basement primed and painted before they come down. One of the rooms I wont be able to do because there is some damage on the wall the will need to drywall replaced.

I just downloaded the new media player and it is really nice. I am definately liking the shiny black and bright blue, cudos microsoft.
