ANTM

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

Okay so I have a problem with this show I think they voted of like one of the prettiest models. Like get rid of the girl who has no soul behind her eyes not the one that moves her head a bit to much HELLO she can stop that you jsut have to tell her. Well they did but it was her first shoot. I think she was one of the prettiest. How about Eve who’s a little weird if you ask me she’s your friend but then she’s not and then there is Ana who is so co-dependant on Eve you think she was her kid. Guh!!! But the only thing I think they did good on was getting rid of Magdalena. Yeah she was pretty but if they didnt think she was the best its good they got rid of her so now she can work at her really got practicum and become a nurse and get a good placement. At least she got to go to Jamaica. Newho this should get interesting! Lotsa fighting already.

I am the best!

I have business cards now with my name on them (yes I know all business cards have names on them) but these ones have MY name on them GO ME!

Work can be confuggling!

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

On another note, I got stumped yesterday at work. One of the people who assigns me tasks to do asked me to look into how hatch patterns are created for AutoCAD and I slightly remember covering that in school (like a 10 min lesson). So I figure it out and its all in numbers. GUH :| I tell the guy you know I’m sorry I’m not going to be able to do it because I 1. Don’t know the system and 2. If I try it will take me like 6 - 12 months to do all he wants. It’s crazy. He was like well can’t you just look at the old patterns and use those numbers and I was like no because those are different patterns. So he was like oh. The last time the company had their laying patterns put into hatch patterns they had a company do it that specializes in making hatch patterns. Like hello these are people who took courses on this I have hardly even seen it. Btw hatch patterns are where you select an area like a square and then it puts that pattern into it. It’s actually kinda neat. But no way am I doing that I’m not that smart. YET!

Ugh sickness

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

I can’t be getting sick we are taking mom out for her birfday this weekend. So I have woken up the past two days with the worst pains in my throat I can hardly swallow. So I’ve taken to chuggin back orange juice like its the best thing on the planet and normally I can only drink a little but when I’m sick look out orange juice here I come!! I also bought the Vitamin C Halls (which btw you shouldn’t take more then two of a day) and regular halls which you can take as needed (3 million a day should do). However I can tell I am gettign sick because I went to the store with Sarah yesterday (I had to get bran muffin mix they are so yummy) and I just wanted to crawl back into bed. YUCK!! On top of all that I’m not aloud to take sick days here… or at least should I say I don’t get paid for them till my 3 month probation is up. So I’m trying not to be sick (key word trying). But I think its destined to be because the people who work on either side of my cubicle were really sick (Ruth and Chris). And now the sneezing starts!

Ahh I missed it too!!

Well I missed International, Talk like a Pirate day BIG TIME. I knew it was coming but alas it fell on the Sudnay before I was to start my first full week of work and my mind was elsewere… so ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr….. I’m an Irish Pirate… Just for you Matt!

Jennems … Shh it’s a secret…

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004

So the Shhh it’s a secret went off with a bang. Jenn was soo suprised. No one really had too much to drink… well maybe Mike and Brent. Mike was Cpt. stare a lot and Brent was very touchy… not so much me as Larissa. But none the less it went off wihtout a hitch.

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004

Hey I can post I’m not dead. Anyways sorry about the lack of posting but my job keeps me VERY busy and I don’t want to piss anyone off yet… YET!! Well Anyways My new job is awesome. Every day I find myself super busy. Speaking of I jsut got totally side tracked for liek 15 mins. Grr stupid job… sidetracking me from my blog. Anyways there I go again another 30 mins. this Blog is going to take all day. So I love my job its awesome I don’t drive in traffic (especially this morning man was I glad I didn’t drive towards Toronto). I get off work at 4 and everyone is REALLY nice. No really cute guys for the taking though BOOOO.

So I’ve been workign a lot at the club even though I have Thursday and Friday only this week and last week. But I feel like I’m hurting for cash so next week I think I’ll be lucky and get all 4 days on Thanksgiving weekend. I’m also not booking off any time until I know I have plans because I hate booking days off when nothing is happening and then not really doing all too much. It’s just habit forming. So if anyone wants to do something I need to know 2 weeks in advance.

Since starting this job I have been religously going to the gym 4 days a week. Go me… of course it’s only been like a week and a half but if I go today that makes 3 days this week and 4 days in a row but then I wont be going for another 3 so I think I will go tomorrow instead so then I only have 1 day and then 2 days off.

Also a big congrats to Ggregg and his job he’s coming up in this world look out. He also bought a brand new Saturn. New cars are the way to go. Just ask Jason. Anywho I’ve taken like 5 mins out of my day so you guys can all enjoy my life .

Ahhh so much to say.. well not really…

Hehehe well I have been busy and I’m sorry to all those in my blog reading land. I will try to be a better blogger soon. Well I started my new job at UniLock (by the way I got a job at UniLock). The job is awesome. I spent my first day learning some product and creating a new pattern for them to use on one of their brochures. It was awesome tomorrow is my second day. I’ve been working a lot at the club lately and shopping of course. I like shopping. Mommy went to New York last week and brought me home some wicked work pants. On Wednesday I get to entertain some Master students on Wednesday… it’s like job shadowing kinda….uhmmm hi I’ve been employed for 2 days yes shadow me :)

I’m done Bartending school now all I have to do is write the test. That I will have to study for. Sometime in the next two weeks I plan to go to Craig’s to study with Karen. I’m sure Craig will love that :P Not much else to say fall is almost here yay. I like it when the weather is nice. However fall will mean cold weather is almost here. Neways I’m off to bed I’m good and I’m sick :( Not sure I think it’s a cold because I’m jsut fevery and achy…. mmm sickness!!!

Only 1 more this week

Wednesday, September 8th, 2004

Thank god I only have one more interview this week because I am getting tired of talking to people and trying to sell myself. The one yesterday was with a temp/placement agency. They do placements in Mississauga but they are out in burlington. The job was for a fleet company and it was doing office admin stuff with a bit of accounting. So thats not too bad I wouldn’t mind that. The interview today was with Unilock and interlocking brick company. With the I would be a CAD designer which is in my field but it would be working with landscape designing and presenting. Which i would enjoy and love to have I hear back around Monday for that for a second interview and the other company is HR Associates in Etobicoke tomorrow at 12:45 and the lady said it was for a gov’t of ontario job. I want that job just because no matter how baed you are at it they wont fire you. Eve nthe people who squandered away millions of dollars over years are only just loosing their jobs!!

Random acts of kindness are cool

Friday, September 3rd, 2004

Well I just read this article about this lady who does random acts of kindess. Pretty much in summary a couple times a week when she goes through timmies drive through she pays for the person behind her. The nthey get up to the window and don’t have to pay. Now let me tell you if that was me first thing in the morning that would make my day. Not like my bagel costs a lot of money but the fact that someone else would do that would be cool. I was actually thinking lately how no one is really that friendly in Toronto. I think thats becasue a lot of people in the city fear the unknown and are affraid someone may stab them or something. But really if we were all friendlier then there wouldn’t be so much hate(duh) but you know what i mean because I know that if someone goes out of their way to friendly or do something nice it really makes me smile and when you’re having a bad day well that totally helps. So therefore I think we should all be nicer people…

And might I add you all smell!

Weather Man was WRONG!!

Wednesday, September 1st, 2004

Well a lot of people complain that the weather man is usually wrong.. this time they were right!! Fro mthe Toronto Star today…

While totals haven’t been crunched, Phillips figures that the Environment Canada supercomputer got the weather and climate conditions right less than 30 per cent of the time from May through August. He said that anything less than 33 per cent accuracy is as good as a guess.

I could’ve been a weather forcaster with odds that good!! I think i was most of the time I was closer then they were!!

What a morning and its not even 10

Wednesday, September 1st, 2004

What a GREAT MORNING! Well first I got up and I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired… and my shoulders hurt from my abs class?!? So this I thought is going to be a bad day! But anyways I got up and came to work and I literally sat down for 5 mins and my cell rings… who could that be its only 8:30. Well it was a guy from UniLock (a place I applied to yesterday) calling and he is offering me an interview next week for an Architecture job! Its just doing like CAD drafting but hey that’s awesome!! Then I call the bank cuz the y are trying to make my student loan go back into repayment, I don’t think so I just finished school I got a 6 month buffer zone! So I called them and they fixed that. Then I called CPP because they are trying to cut me off and you get a 4 month buffer there as well when you are done school (including co-op so I should be getting it until next May. So I called them and they said that I just get the form filled out by the school for co-op YAY!! GO me…
