Nothing to write about... I'm horribly boring, I know ( Read more... )

I have a new job. Sort of. In 2006 I graduated with my Bachelor of Education. I'd planned on being on elementary school teacher since junior high. Unfortunately, there is a severe lack of jobs in my area. I still love teaching and love working with kids, but at this point in my life I need guaranteed income. There was a position open at Sobeys that ( Read more... )

A lot is new... And a lot isn't. I haven't posted at this journal in at least a year and a half, maybe closer to 2 years. I used a different journal for a while, but when I decided to come back I knew I had to come back to blueberryblondi. This is where I poured out my heart when my brother got sick, and where my first love-struck ramblings about Jonathan were ( Read more... )

Grade nine is definitely not my thing. I'm going to leave it at that I think. Thankfully today wasn't as long a day as Tuesday was. I left pretty much as soon as the kids did. One of the other subs was too, and I have the excuse that I have to work tonight. Which I'm so not looking forward too, although apparently I get to spend the first 4 hours ( Read more... )

I seriously can't believe it's all over. It's rather crazy. The ceremony itself was rather long and drawn out. (As most convocations tend to be.) Nobody really cared about anything after we got our teaching licenses. Our valedictorian was awesome, I love her to bits and she did a fabulous job. The honourary degree recipient who spoke to us was ( Read more... )

Another fun-filled Wednesday at Sobeys. I had an elderly lady pass out at the end of my register today. Luckily she was shopping with her daughter, who caught her. I felt totally useless though. So of course I page my boss to my register. And he calls the phone at the register. I'm luck, "Um, I just had a lady faint down here." He swore, and ( Read more... )

Shitty day at work. And that's all I will say because if I say more I cry. And really, no one will understand work related rants other than Beth who's in Cuba right now. (And probably Sid to a certain extent since working in a crappy ass grocery store and working in Wal-Mart have some similarities, generally the crappiness of them both ( Read more... )

I so don't want to go to work tonight. I left early again last night (I so owe Sarah) as I felt like crap once again. I'm really hoping tonight will be a better night. I just want to feel better. Is that too much to ask ( Read more... )

Where did the expression "sick as a dog" come from? Seriously, does anyone know? That's the first thing I thought when I sat down to write this entry. I was going to start with, "I'm sick as a dog." But what exactly does that mean? Where did it come from? Can you tell I'm going on about 3 hours of sleep here ( Read more... )

My parents are both gone... I have no idea where. Wait, no, that's not true. My mom is probably at a rink somewhere. There's a big ringette tournament this weekend. She spent yesterday morning at the rink and will probably spend most of today there. Dad on the other hand, I have no idea where he is. If I had to guess I'd say he's gone to a card (as ( Read more... )
