what a freakin day

Soooooooooo where to begin oh ya, well I got up early so that I go into work and clean out the deli counter, which is roughly a two hour job, because I gotta take all of the meats out of the counter take the metal pieces out of the counter and chip off huge blocks of ice that form underneath because the cooler is probably 80 years old. I always do this a few times a month usual my day off, why you ask, because it is really tiring and it kinda makes you feel a little sick, this is where all the meat bits fall down and the juices and all that fun stuff land, so you can imagine whats its like under there after ooohhh two weeks..........so ya it was my day off today -- I went in for 7am (up at 6am) I figured great I will be home around 9am or 9:30 at the latest!!! BUT OF COURSE NOT.........The lady that I have scheduled for today to work the day shift called in sick around 7:50am...............great my only day off and I planned on going shopping for a couple more wedding gifts (for lins and gregg, because the big day is fast approaching whoohoo sooo excited)..........so ya that put the nix on those plans. Now I had to stay there from 7am until 5pm..frickin 10 hours....with no lunch or breaks because oh ya, we don't get those because we work in the deli we are special........I get to eat my lunch in the office and when I hear the bell (which is roughly every 10 mins) go out and serve the customers. So the day was just crap, everything that could have went wrong did ahhh

And ya know its not that she called in sick --- just because I work through deathly colds and flu ehhh thats not for everyone........but its that she work the night before on cash and was fine and I am pretty sure she will be fine for her 12pm cash shift tomorrow. THATS what is irritating.

Sooooooooooo thats my rant..............I feel better now, once RJ made me some dinner and we watched House all was well again.....but I need to get out of this crap whole sooooooooon...please sobeys' call me call me!

Oh on a higher note, I maybe volunteering for childrens services soon......my old neighbour is going to be a good word in for me, so hopefully it could to lead to something in my field woohoo!! Fingers are crossed!!

liz needs some sleep :)

the usual

So, not too much new to report at the beginning of this new year. Christmas -- phew Christmas..........it was busy and crazzier then ever. With work, just always being insane that time of year and then of course organizing family stuff it was all just really tiring. Next year, mark my words RJ and I are going away for a week. Somewhere preferrably hot!! Heeee. We did manage to get most of our shopping done within a few days, so that was really good, especially with the wedding keeping us busy until the 12th. There was definitely a few moments of just breaking down this year, just trying to please everyone. This year, we had Rj's Dad's family celebration at their home in Oakville on the 23th, so that was good, nice and close to home for a change instead of going to Hamilton. The 24th we had dinner at my parents house which was great, RJ had to work until 6 though, but he ran over right when the store closed. The 25th, we went to RJ's moms -- everyone did, my parents too........which was kinda big, because our parents have only really met in passing not really formally, more of the wave from the car kinda stuff. But it turned out really great, everyone had a good time and had great food. The only problem was that my aunt and uncle stopped by before we were suppose to leave on their way down to Peterborough so that sorta delayed us -- which of course caused tiff number a million between RJ and myself because his mom wanted us there for a certain time and my parents didn't really understand the urgency. But it all worked out!! It was very strange to not go to my sisters house on Christmas Day though.....needless to say we are still not really speaking so at least their was no added tension. Rj and I stayed at his mom's house that night so we could open our gifts together the next morning. I head home after breakfast because we were suppose to go to Peterborough but we didn't end up going because of the possibility of bad weather that day. RJ stayed at his mom's because Jeff and Diana, and her family came down from Oshawa. So ya it was a fun filled crazzy few days.

NEw years - was uneventful as usual --- Rich came over to RJ's and we rented a few movies and made some food and just veggied out. It was good, but sorta boring and not to mention Rich is the most down person I know. Three minutes after new years and he wants to watch Enemy at the Gate -- yaya welcome the new year with a war movie -- death and destruction nothing says' more celebration right!!! Oh well, next year hopefully we will actually make some effort to do something, it just sucks having to work until 7 that night and then rush to get out of the house.

I applied for a few jobs like the first of Jan -- I haven't heard anything from the Parole Clerk Job in TOronto yet....fingers crossed................I also applied for a full-time deli position at the Sobey's at Westchester plazza. They emailed me and I had a interview last TUesday --- sooo I have just been a bottle of nerves all week and still no word, he said I would find out by Friday night, so I dunno what happened. Oh well what happens happens. The crazzy thing is that then on Friday Rj and I had to do inventories for the deli and meat dept.....and my boss is telling how he needs to be the deli manager and that if it was his choice the other manager would be gone, she just cannot lose her job because of illness. That I am perfect for the job because of tempermant and that I don't get really stressed out ...........and then he is like so please do not go and quit on me---- I was then freaking out....thinking like what if I got the job at Sobeys my boss is going to freak out.....but at the same time I know that he understands that I can't just sit in limbo waiting for the manager to come back and have her job and then I get knocked back down to part-time again.....................its just such a crappy situation all around. BUt I hope to find out soon!! either way!!

Gotta get some sleep...........toodles
