Hey Journal,
Been a while so I thought that I would do a bit of an update and let you know the current state of events in Adzkieland.
This is in no particular order, just stuff that I want to write, things I'm proud about, things I'm not proud about, just a bit o a rant etc to clear my thoughts after a 10 hour day at work.
Yazzie The Yaris is my new vehicle (as you can see two posts down). She's amazingly fantastic, and I'm loving her to pieces. I'm taking very good care of her (as opposed to the way I sometimes treated Alyssa Lantra), and I'm glad to see that there are only two Orange Toyota Yaris YRS's on the road, mine being the only three door beauty. It was a bit of a hassal, like, them making me sign contacts without telling me there were no new ones in the country, then telling me my only option was a car that was on display with 140k's on the clock etc. Then of course, the whole being declined for finance several times also... But the end result I am happy with.
Speaking of Yazzie, she's recently took me on a fantastic trip to Brisbane, where I spent several hours in the Company of Hugh Jackman, Peter Allen, Liza Minelli, Judy Garland (amongst others).... 'What...?' you ask? Well she took me to Brisbane where I went to see the Hugh Jackman : The Boy From Oz. Now, I have several things I want to say about this production... It's amazing. It's raw. The energy in the auditorium rises and never stops during the show, climaxing (so cliche) with the well known song of Rio De Janiero.... I must say that it's a rollercoaster of emotions, some things hit home rather interestingly. I particularly admire the relationship that Peter Allen shared with his Mother, and how he looks up to her, and how she cared for him. Got me thinking about my mother and the way I sometimes treat her, which I realised I'm not too proud of. Other than that, like I said, the energy in the auditorium rises, with a rollercoaster ride of emotions.... It is completely awe inspiring. It made me want to be a part of something big, or grand scale. I believe that this woul have been a fantastic experience and life changing one at that for all the people involved in the production. It made me wish that I was a bit better in the drama/singing/looks department to pursue such a career myself.... And it also made me go and spend $100 at the merchandise store after the show. Brought my mother a set of maraccas which I know that she'll adore. I must say that when I got home from Brissy, I called her and let her know I had something for her, how much she means to me and how much I love her.
Moving forward.
I'm now the proud user of a Toshiba A100/U00 Laptop Computer. I finally bit the bullet, and got myself a new computer (Flexirenting). (about fucking time I hear you say). Its a good system, being that I can claim part of my payments as a tax deduction. Amazingly so. I have a wireless network set up, so now I can use my laptop in any room in the house, which is also fantastic. Bring on BitComet!!!
I had stocktake today... 10 hour day when I was hung over and tired as dog shit. Its a wonder I made it through the day at all. I'm writing this while I wait for my washing to finish so I have a clean uniform to wear to work tomorrow. I now have the fantastic job tomorrow (as do we all) of chasing variance... It's going to be a long, long, long day. And the head honcho from Flemmington will be here supposedly too, which means I'll probably get berrated for wearing a white shirt under my work shirt (it gets hot in my department, if he wants to see sweat stains on my clothes, then sure... Which does he prefer?
A few weeks ago I had a 'stoner party' at my 2ic's place, where we had some drinks, had a few joints etc. The party was pretty good. However, the aftermath was anything but. Toni, my cashier and good friend, ended up 'sleeping in the same bed' as my also good friend Jay (who I at one stage had a crush on). Toni called me at work the next day all giddy and stuff, asking me if I had spoken to him etc etc, because she wanted to know where they stood, not telling me the full story. This REALLY annoyed the shit out of me. I dont like being put in a position like that, wanting to know something about 'something', but not willing to tell me what the 'something' is. From here, she finally told me several days after what happened. Apparently it was grinding, kissing, fondling. Jay hasnt told me any of this. Anyways, Nathan (2ic and close friend of Jay), who seen Jay's feet coming out from under toni (toni is over 6ft, and jay is like, short as... Toni is also a big girl), came to me asking what the hell was going on, and we both came to the concensus that we would not get involved. Toni kept wanting me to go and ask Jay where they stood, Jay was standoffish with me, and avoided Toni like the plague (me and nathan agreed that we couldn't see it goin anywhere). Then the weekend after that, Toni had drinks at her house.... Next day, Toni calls me and tells me that Jay spent the night there, in her bed, with her, and that this time they did more, (eventually found out that he fingered her and she gave him a headjob (which judging by he didn't come, wasnt good enough)).... Anyways, where I'm going with this, is that I felt she put me in an extremely awkward position. She was going on about how much she liked him (he was the only one who showed interest, it wasn't cuz she liked him), and that she *needed* me to find out how he felt about her. It was an extremely awkward position for her to put me in, and I told her as much. Was NOT happy at all. In fact, I'm not happy that they did stuff like that... I think that part may be jealousy, but dudes, they work together, how fucking awkward. Anyways, its all over now, she rekons they talked about it, and they decided that they're only just good friends. In saying that though, I know if Toni gets a few drinks under her belt, she turns all horny (read next paragraph), and she'll ask him for 'it'.
Toni and drinks dont match. The night she sucked on jay, she was all over me. I felt reeeeally uncomfortable. I ended up getting a hickey on my jawline, which I got asked about by several people the next day, and I had to say that I got in a fight with someone and ended up with a bruise there. You DONT do that to someone. Its horrible. If it had of been under my shirt line or something like that, it would have been better (but not fantastic, get my drift). Nathan rekoned that she was going to try and rape me. And yes, I've told her that it makes me uncomfortable and that shit, so we'll see how we go. Hugs I can take, love hugs, but dirty dancing constantly. sitting on my lap, trying to pash me... Not on.
Now, back to work. I've been promoted to Digital Camera and Accessories Manager. That means that I'm in charge of just over a quarter of the store turn-over. I'm doing quite well so far, I've got my login to POS upgraded from a shitty salesperson login to a Franchisee Assistant Menu, which resulted in John and Jay being demoted to Salesperson menus (Jay used to be the Technician, and John was given the job of re-printing stickers once, and was left with the menu by accident). This in itself caused a big ruckus, John didnt talk to me for days, Jay rekoned it didnt worry him but he still goes on about it today, so he feels like he's not trusted. But you get that. I had a HUMUNGUS Camera Sale about a month ago. I asked chris if we could do a camera sale, where every camera was discounted (albeit smally), and advertise it on tv and stuff, because it had been a while since ANYONE had done anything like that. He took to the idea, and we did the sale. As opposed to do 5 or so cameras a day, the sale, which went from friday to sunday went like this. Friday : 22 Cameras. Saturday : 24 Cameras. Sunday : 9 Cameras. It was the most successful sale that the store has had to date. The traffic was amazing. I also, am proud to say that I sold 9 of the cameras on Friday, 12 on Saturday, and 3 on Sunday, which was awseome. So, needless to say I got a gold star for that one!!!
Well, thats about it. My washing has finished, and I've been writing this for over an hour (mixed in with chatting to ppl). I'm flabbergastedly tired as, so I'm going to head off to sleepiebyes.
