Weekly summary:
-Friday, the dishwashing machine at my job broke. So I spent half the day handwashing the dishes and when I was done with that and my other chores, it was about 19h30.
-Saturday, we went shopping. I stil can't believe that in all the underwear packages Wal-Mart's had in stock, I could not find a single one that was right cut, all cotton, not ugly beige/brown or with ugly motifs...
-Last Sunday, we went to see my grandma and I bought her a lottery ticket (La Poule Aux Oeufs D'or, which also has a tv show drawing that I know she likes to watch) to apologize for not showing up on my birthday.
-Monday, we were closed for Labour Day. I went to try and program a universal remote for my other grand-parents' "new" TV set... Only to find out the thing dated back to 1985 and therefore, didn't have infrared sensors, rendering the use of any kind of remote impossible, much to everyone's dismay...
-Tuesday, Jazz lifted me to Longueuil station has she parks her car there to go to Uni in MTL.
I had a REALLY LONG day, as we had nearly 400 customers (ee usually have about 240-280/day). I had to wash all of those nice *coughs* people's dishes because the dishwasher delivery guy couldn't show up.
Finished really late, around 9:30PM (including a 15-30 minutes break because I have some physical limitations I have to respect....).
-Wednesday, she gave me a lift even thought she didn't have school. She went to work with a classmate on some assignment they had for the Japanese class she's taking as a free auditor. We got the new dishwashing machine and Khanh installed it in the afternoon, so I had to handwash some more dishes, but luckily for me, there was a more normal amount of customers that day. When we got to the parking lot in Longueuil, Jazz noticed that she'd lost her monthly parking pass. Was not a happy camper... She was grumpy all the way home, so on top of standing my very tired and weary self, I had to stand her being obnoxious and frustrated when I really had nothing to do with the fact that she didn't store it somewhere safe and forgot or dropped it somewhere...
-Thursday, we went to buy her a new pass. They only charged us the 20$ deposit fee on the card.
We had a truckload of catering plates to prepare and it was overall a very hectic day, but I managed to finish on time to go see the Three Starz and Parapraxis show at L'Alizé Rock. I gave Aristo some men pants I'd had in my lucky packs that I obviously couldn't fit it because "I got back" and I'm not a tall skinny guy! :P He was very pleased with them and told me about the Emily Autumn show in October. I notice I was more tired than I realised when I tried to headbang (Three Starz play some kind of pop-punk rock) and my neck was sooooooo stiff, I could barely move my head forward about half an inch before it hurt. Took the bus+Taxi because Jazz's classes ended early and she was tired so I told her to leave first.
-Friday, the driver's side wiper FLEW OFF THE HOOK and it was raining (luckily we were switching roads and the wind had blown the rain clouds further so we managed to get to Longueuil safely). We had to wait until Longueuil to purchase another one, as it was 7am and all garages and car dealerships on our way were closed. I was so happy that Canadian Tire opened early... But damn it, I didn't think a single wiper cost 30$. I was kind of expecting to get a set at that price... Then we went and parked at the metro station and went our separate ways.Stéphanie came over to have a partial training.Still had a lot of work in prevision for catering orders we had for next week.
After work, I managed to go to the Jump Start Club's K&J-pop event at the La Commission des Liqueurs bar. It's a nice looking bar! We had the whole 2nd floor for our bunch. By the time I left, it was getting pretty packed, and so were the other floors. There were soooo many cute Asian guys! I danced with my friends from 9 to 11-something PM, then it was getting really hot and packed and my legs were feeling like I was gonna collapsed, so I messaged Jazz that I was leaving and waiting for her near our parking. She had originally planned to come to the party, too, but the friend she wanted to bring ended up deciding to grab a beer downtown instead and trying to convince her to stay overnight and stuff and she had a week as emotionally packed as mine, so she was glad I texted her, giving her the perfect exit door out of the touchy situation she would have gotten in trying to be tactful explaining to her friend that she wanted to leave and go to sleep because she really needed to get some rest, having slept only about 4 hours per night this past week...
My work contract prolonged 3 more days, due to more customers that expected, so I work until Wednesday night until Ghislaine comes back from her vacation, Thursday morning. I'm kind of pissed because there's a new measure in place starting THIS WEEK that is going to affect my unemployment benefits ...
This weekend, my hometown is having and event called "Weekend Rouge" (Red Weekend, referring to the fact that at this time of year, the tree leaves should have begun turning to red, but we're having such a warm summer that everything's still pretty darned green!). My dad is part of the organization so we're spending our weekend in the sun, while Nick has fun driving coaches, tractors, dune bogeys and nearly anything some adult allows him to drive and he's really proud of himself. I'm still helping Gaétane with her Old-fashioned Ice Cream demonstration. I got sooooo soooo many positive comments about my "dress" today, it's just crazy! I was wearing my Metamorphose/Crown Label Sweet Park skirt over my red gingham set from the summer 2009 lucky packs. I'll try to whip up something with my Teddy Pâtissier for tomorrow!
And then, I'll pack my things and I'll take some awfully damn needed and deserved vacations. I'm going to Toronto again, with Shima, to see X-Japan! It will feel so natsukashii to see Yoshiki and Sugizo again! (I saw them at A.X. in 200
