Aliant is Poopy
I left my precious computer(j/k) for leik an hour! I mean, Andrew was in the bedroom,RIGHT THERE,I had to visit him. You know what I mean Heehehe
We were going to go to the mall,so I quickly came in the computer room to check lj/email since I didn't hear anything from Nuki yet and the modem was red..the red thing was on. It disconnected and woudln't re connect.
so ANdrew called Aliant and this dumb girl told us to buy a shorter phone cord??? we didn't believe her, but were going to the mall anyway, so we picked one up. Of course it didnt work. andrew called back and they had to send a technician.
This would be the third time this has happened w. the internet since we moved here. I dont know if its the location, because we didn't have any problems when we lived on maplewood. It was working when i came home today, so Andrew must have talked to the tech. Usually though they come in,look at the modem, and then say its back at the office. But when we call in the "call center"they always say that its on our end. gah.
Either way its working. Which is good, but I missed going out to starbucks w/ Nicole sunday night. I'm glad she had a friend to go with but I feel guilty I wasn't able to be there,I know she wanted to go out w/ friends. I was going to jus go anyway, even though I didnt know what time she was going to be there at. It was around 6 or 7, and it SUCKS because when I got her email today she was going to be there at that time. I decided not to go, because I thought she would not be there when I went. I'm relived that she had a friend!!
We need to plan to go next time! The three of us should go, Nuki and Elizabeth. I have fun with you guys :)
Work sucked as usual. There were people complaining all day about christmas. Someone booked it off AFTER they did, and got some days off christmas week when they didn't. I can understand how they are pissed off, I Would be too. But thing is we are probably going to have to work christmas eve,christmas day and boxingday.
boxing day is blocked off. So I can't go to cap pele for Andrew's family christmas. I honestly don't mind working christmas eve, but if I could just at least have christmas day off I could trytowork something out to see everyone.
Its like,you are already busy on christmas day, jamming so much into one day, and you don't stop. Having to work the day, and cramming verything in is going to suck, not to mention that I wont even have a day off after to recouperate.
Christmas isn't a holiday anymore. I;d almost rather work retail, be busy for 2-3 months and at least be rewarded for my work and have two days off.
anyway. I know I'm not the only one who has to work,so I try not to complain toomuch. But its SO HARD to wait and see (we might get if off if people are willing to work,we're supposed to have a skelleton crew) when these people are bitching and complaining all the time. What makes them so special? Sure, they've been there 5 years and longer than me, sure I have no little children, but neither do they anymore. I respect and like these people, and they do deseve to have the holiday too, but there are so many others out there who deserve it too, not just them.
So while I'm trying NOT to stress about it, they bring it up EVERY DAY! its hard. I usually just stay quiet and do my job.
BUt its true. Christmas is like....Victoria day, or labor day. Its not a major holiday anymore,its just another day of the week.
I dont think I will go all out this year. I'll buy a coupleof gifts for the family, probably put up my little fake tree andnot bother with getting a life size fake tree like I was thinking about. Decorating I'll probably do because I enjoy it but it will be the minimum.
I'm not doing that as leik, a protest or something. I just ...dont think I should put any effort in to it anymore. there is no point.
I would love to be able to be with my family though. I wish my papa were still alive too. I miss papa. This will also be the first christmas not spent at grannys house. 24 years it was the same thing, so yeah, it is kind of hard to adjust.
we used to spend the night there christmas eve. I suppose we'd be more than welcome to spend the night in granny's spare room. BUt its not the same. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE SPENT CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT IN MY OWN BED. weird huh. 24 years.
I guess it had to change at some point.losing Papa and Minnie (my first cat, I was super close with her) losing christmas.
Bah. I sound like scrooge. but really. I guess there are worse things than losing faith in christmas. I'm not a child anymore.....although I wish I were. It really is a nice feeling to have the christmas spirit. its peaceful, and you feel happy. not that I'm an unhappy person. but christmas made me forget, and I was able to enjoy my hoiday.
not looking forward to it. A couple of years ago I moved my fave holiday from christmas to thanksgiving, but even thanksgiving sucked this year. my birthday sucks most of the time, and I dont think there is any real holiday that I enjoy.
Hallowe'en people always cancel plans, New Years eve used to be spent with friends, but most of those friends are gone away/school/in different province.
stupid holidays.
I wish my life were more exciting. Being an adult means you come home from work and you are tired. TIRED. and even though you want to go out and do something, youre all like BAHHHHH ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
and the one night you go out, on a thursday, and only get 3 hours of sleep you have to sleep for 14 hours just to get your energy back.
yep. I slept from 3pm friday, all the way to the next morning. lol. I did get up to go to the bathroom, but went right back to bed after that.
anyway. I write too much
ALSO stupid internet. I was on this super long lj posting thing, and I missed two days because of it.
*falls over*
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE! :D
