Wow long time

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:50:38 GMT

Its been a long time since writing on here. The time just flies by. I can't believe that it is already Dec 20th. 3 months till my birthday.

I have been working a lot and I have been trying to find a job that suites my job career that I have chosen. Its hard though cause a lot of places want you to have 2 to 5 year experience before even considering you. I dislike when that happens. I graduated in April and I did not get the work experience that they give you cause I am here in Alberta and the college is in British Columbia. Weird huh. If people are wondering I took a receptionist course that was 2 years of study.

I am getting excited to go on my vacation. I am going in Feb. I am leaving on Feb 13th and coming back on the 24th. I am going to 2 different events at the Olympics and I am also going to Forks, WA and Port Angalis, WA. I am staying with friends in Victoria and we are going to be going to their parents house for a day and a night. So I will be at my friends this year for my birthday. So that will be neat.

Well I should go and do some other things to do before going to bed.

They schedule you for the night and then either give u a 745, or 930, or 1030 or 1100. Oh well thats life right? When I finish my college course I will be able to get a better job and having better hours.

First of all Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you all had a great Christmas. I had a really great Christmas. I went to the Christmas Eve with my parents. It was a really great service. In the afternoon my friend came over to exchange gifts and watch a movie. We watched Indinana Jones Movie (#3). Then after the service last night I opened his present. and it was Mamma Mia!!! I am really happy with that. I love that movie. My mom and dad and Brother and I will be watching it tomorrow night. Then today We opened the rest of our presents. I got some cool stuff from people. I got from my parents were 7th Heaven seasons 5 and 6, some clothes, and a heating blanket. From my dad I got a Tim Card, and from my Brother got me a Rodgers Video Gift Card. I am still waiting for a few other things from friends.

On to other things. Things are busy around here. I have been working and doing school work. I have finished a course over the last couple of months. I like working at the job that I have a the moment. They are a great set of people and I will hold on to this job for a while. Also with the job, they are really understanding about things.

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:47:27 GMT

Well it has been a very long time since I have written anything in here. I thought I forgot my sign in name and password. Thank goodness for saved accounts!!!

Well the last 4 months I have been working full time at work and that was pretty interesting. Its been good because of the extra money and of course not having a lot of spare time on my hands. I dislike being board. When I am board I watch TV and nothing else. Well at work this summer we have had 2 new supervisors come to our store. And we have had a lot of new people added to our staff and most of them have quit. I can't understand why but whatever. There has been one person who has left our store because of some circumstances that he could not control. He worked at the store I do for 13 years and he had to transfer to another store. We all miss him. He was one of the better people that were working up front.

We also had a new ass manager come to our Store. He is a really nice guy. He interacts with the customers and everything. He even drove me home on day. I did not feel well. I had sharp pains in my chest and ribs so they called the EMTs to take a look at me. After the EMTs looked me over they said I should not work that day and to go home so Dave(the ass manager) took me home. That night I got the 24 hour flue. I had the next 2 days off after that.

Well other then work I have not been doing a lot. I started school again 2 days ago. So I am working only 32 hours now and I have time to do school work and also have time to hang out with my friends too.

Speaking about friends I have a friend who is not doing so good at the moment. I would like you all to pray for her. She has health problems but she was doing ok until about 3 weeks ago. The Doctors said that it might be a stroke or it might have been something else. She has no
feeling in her left side. I hope she will get better and I will have updates when she gives them to me.

Well The last thing I should tell you about before going to get ready for work is I went to MY FIST BACKSTREET BOYS concert on Sept 2nd. It was so awesome. I still can't believe that I was actually there. They did a great job and I can't wait till my next concert. I got a few things when they were here too. I got 2 t-shirts, a tote bag and a poster. It was great!!! They are coming out with another CD soon too. They told us at the concert!!!!!!

Well I should pack up to get ready for work tonight even though I don't want to go but I have to. Talk yo you all later.

Victoria

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:28:49 GMT

Well I have been in Victoria for 4 days and I am loving it. I have no idea how I am going to leave to go back home. I am have a grea time and getting to see a lot of great places and stuff. It has been really great to see most of the tourist attractions that don't cost anything. I love when you don't have to pay for a lot of the things here. Yesterday we went to the parlenment building and to the governement house. It was really cool. I have about 87 pics already and I am still here until Monday morning so I hope to take lots more. Its been really nice here so that is a bonus. Here they have no snow and all of the flowers are in bloom and everything. I love it. Well I should go cause we are going to have lunch soon so I will update again soon or when I get home.

Snowing again

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:48:10 GMT

Well the last 2 days it has been snowing again. Its April and it should be sunny but not snowing. I am so glad that I am going away from Calgary for a while. I will be leaving in 7 days and I am really starting to get excited about going and seeing my friends and their parents again. I miss them so much. I am also getting excited about the plain flight. Its my first one in 20 or so years so its gonna be interesting. I am going by myself so I am kinda nervous about that but my dad and mom will be there until I get on the flight. Well I should get going cause I have to get to church in the morning.

Why does it have to snow in April?

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 05:05:59 GMT

Well On Thursday when I woke up my mom called me and told me that I had to be careful walking to work. I asked her why(even though I called in sick to work) She said Did you not look outside yet. I said No I have not u just woke me u mom. She said well it snowed a lot last night. We had enough snow that it was about up to my knees before it was packed down with rain. So we had a shock there. But it happens a lot in Alberta(or so I have been told). I will be happy to leave Alberta for a while.

I am going to BC (Victoria) For 1 week to visit my friends that moved there about 8 months ago now. I am really excited!!!!! It will be my first time flying since I was 5 or 6 years of age. Today I bought some luggage for my trip. I got it for a reasonable price. I got three peaces for 50.00. They original cost 80.00 so I got a good deal. I bought them at a place called Army and Navy.

Well I have to go cause it is late and I am tired. I have to get up early for church.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 05:05:05 GMT

Well I made it through another birthday without getting sick or hurt. But I did get hurt on the weekend after my BDay. Not fun. I slipped on the ice on the Saturday and I thought nothing of it but then it started to hurt on the drive home. I did not really think it was that bad but on Monday night I was working and I left early cause I was in pain and I could not stand much longer. Then the next morning I felt ok so I went to work but only lasted 6 hours and then I called the doctors office and I went to see him. He told me I should not work for 3 weeks but I told him I could not spend 3 weeks off work so he gave me 3 days off and then he told me that I should sit for a couple weeks so my leg heals like it should. So I called my work place the next day and they said that I needed a note telling them that so I can do that. So I went back to the doctors yesterday and he gave me a note for the next 2 weeks for modified work. So I will be working in the smoke shop for a while.

Well on to other news. I got a few things for my BDay and stuff. I got the Collection of Jane Austen, The Complete Chornicals of Narnia, and Northanger Abbey. I am excited about reading the Collection of Jane Austen. I bought them because if I finish one of the books I don't have to get the other one off the shelf or out of my pack to continue reading. Well I should go cause I have to go to work tomorrow. I will update soon when I have something to write about

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 02:53:29 GMT

Well I have been working lots and started on my other course. I am trying to do things around the house and stuff but it is hard to keep up with. The people that I work with are great. there is only one person that I am having trouble with but I think she has asked to not work with me. Oh well you can't win them all right.

Well today has been a sad day. Heath Ledger has died. It is very very sad. He was so young and he was a great actor and he was at the peak of his wonderful acting career. I loved him in 10 things I hate about you and A Knights Tale. I have lit a candle in memory of him and also out of respect. We will always have him in our hearts and we will always miss him. I send out a prayer to God for his family and friends that are going through a lot today and for a while yet. The world will morn for him.

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 20:28:02 GMT

Well the last week has been a really interesting one. I had to work on last Saturday(Dec 15th) and then again on Sunday but on Sunday I was really not feeling well so I had to leave earlier from work and then I had to call in sick on Monday as well. I had the stomach flu. Lovely huh? Well I went to the doctor on Monday and I got a note saying I was to sick to work on that Sunday and then on Monday. And the doctor gave me some pills to take for the first 5 days so that my body would get better faster so I could go back to work on the Tuesday. So I worked Tuesday, was off Wednesday, Then worked Thursday and Friday. I have had the last 2 days off. So yesterday I went to Walmart to buy my digital camera finally. I am really happy. This is the camera I bought:

Its a really nice one. I love it so far. I have just been ready the manual right now. I have not taken any pictures yet but I will soon.

This coming week I am working only a few days. I am working tomorrow and then I have the next 3 days off and then I work Friday and Saturday. I also work on Sunday next week and I don't know the next day I am working.

Has anyone watched the MasterPiece Theater version of Jane Eyre? Well I have borrowed it from the library and it is quite good. Its longer then the others I have seen and a bit different but it is good. I have also borrowed the movie North and South. I love it. Well I should get going and read some of your entries because I have not for a while so I will update later.

Prayer

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:10:42 GMT

Well on Saturday I found out that 2 of my family are really sick.

My grandma had a heart attack on Friday night. She is a bit better now but not really coming back as she was before. She has had a few other little heart attacks through out the last couple of years and she has been coming back. She is a fighter but this time is a bit different. She is not as strong as she was and stuff. So pray for her to either come back as she once was or whatever.

The other person in my family that is sick is my aunt. If you remember last year I mentioned that she had cancer in her lungs. Well she has it again in both lungs and in her hip. So she is really sick. I have been crying for the last 3 days about this because she is my favorite aunt and she is too young to die. well I need to go and get ready fr work so I will talk to you all later.

Well I went to Walmart and Ikea on Saturday. Man it was really busy. My parents and I went at 9am and did not get home till 3pm that afternoon. But it was a really good day. I got things that I needed and things that I wanted. I spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much at Walmart but everything I bought I either needed or wanted and was saving up money for it. and at Ikea my parents bought me a really cool desk and I bought myself a cutlery set and a hamper. I got the new BSB Cd at walmart and also got the Concert for Diana and Ratatioulle and Grumpy and Grumpier old men. and a lot of other things.

Yesterday my mom and I put together my desk and it took us almost 6 hours and one of the guys that live upstairs was going out for a smoke and saw that we were having troubles so he came and helped us with the rest of it. it only took about another half an hour. If he did not come and help my mom and I would have probably not finished till late into the night.

Well work is going ok. I have memorized about 34 codes now so that is good. But I am still making some mistakes and stuff but I am learning right. I have a meeting with some of the people at work soon I think. The only thing I am worried about is that my pay was reduced when I changed from being a service clerk to a cashier. So I have to talk to someone about that. If I knew that my pay would be reduced I would not have switched jobs or I would go somewhere where they pay more. Oh well I will get it sorted out. Well I should go cause I am working in about an hour so I will talk to yall later.

Well things have been really busy. I have been working lots and doing my school work. I have been studying my codes and stuff but I am not up to par. I need 50 codes memorized before 3 months are up and it has already been a month and I know 34. So I am really hopping that I will know all of them before my probation is up.

I got my new Heath Card in the mail a couple of days ago but it will not be affective till Nov 1. And then I need to sign up for the extended benefits cause I will not have a whole lot of money for prescriptions and stuff. And I am also getting help from the government for paying for other medical things as well so that is good.

Well on Oct 24th I went to see Pride and Prejudice on stage. It was ok but not as good as I would have thought. It was a one room thing so you did not see them going to the ball or anything like that. But it was worth the money and the time. It started at 7:30 and went till 10. So that was an enjoyable evening. And that put me in the mood to see Pride and Prejudice 1995. While I am writing this I am watching it. I am kind of sad though. The reason for that is I can not find my copy of Pride and Prejudice the book. :( I will be searching for it tomorrow or sometime so that I can read it again.

Well I am going to go cause I am tired and I have a million things to do tomorrow before working on Wednesday. So I will update when I have the chance to again. Night all.

I slept last night from 8pm till 7:10am and did not seem to be well. Then I went to breakfast and then went back to be from 8am till 11am. And I am still not myself. Oh well I am really hoping to be myself either tomorrow or soon. Please pray for me so that I can serve God as intended.

Well I am going to go but I will updat when I have something to update.

Well I am a cashier now at the Calgary Co Op. I am happy about that. Its t but there is a lot of numbers that us cashiers have to memorize. there are a whole page of numbers single spaced. its crazy. but it is challenging but it is good. I have some of the best people I have worked with. I am not saying that these people are better then my coworkers I had when I worked at Tim Hortons. I am saying they are about the same. They are really nice and they understand you. For example my volunteer work that I do at Living Faith Bible College is a week long and they have given me that time off. They are so great.

Well My shoulder and back is better now so that is good. Now my elbow is hurting cause I hit it on the till on Saturday. Oh well it hurts only once in a while. But it will heal.

Well I am going to go cause I am falling asleep. SO I will talk to you all later.

Really Really Sore

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 02:41:40 GMT

Well last night I went to bed as usual and slept for a few hours. I woke up with a really sharp pain in my left neck and shoulder. I thought it was nothing major till I woke up this morning. I could not even left my arm this morning to wash my hair. But I did get my hair washed with my other arm. So I got ready for work and took Tylenol and that did not work. So I went to work and they said I should go to the doctor. I went and the doc told me that I had mussel spasms and that I need to take mussel relaxant so that I could use my arm. So I did not work today and the doctor said that I could not work tomorrow either. But he said that I should be able to work Friday and Saturday.

I think I over worked myself yesterday when I cleaned my place. Please pray for me for my arm and neck is better by Friday. Anyway I am going cause I am tired and sore. Night all.
