Work's been driving me crazy lately. Everything's frustrating me and the notes and emails coming in... It feels like no one's actually been trained to do their job, because almost nothing I've worked on recently has made a lick of sense. And last weekend was month end. Suffice it to say that it sucked and then I came home and cried during dinner ( Read more... )

I got a new computer! Pretty short notice, too. I've had the same laptop bookmarked on the Futureshop website since August. When it went on sale I had a minor freak out and mom told me to order it and she'd cover what I couldn't afford. Long story short, it came in today and I LOVE IT! Okay, Windows 7 is made of suck, but it's so nice to have a ( Read more... )

I discovered Etsy! Not recently or anything, because that is a geeks heaven, but I hadn't bought anything until now. I put the order through for a new bag two weeks ago, but there was in inventory issue and they ended up having to send me one in different colour. As it turns out I like the one I got better than the one pictured. I call it a win.

Last weeks cold is still lingering, but I'm mostly back to normal. I ended up taking two sick days and I think my lead was relieved not to have to find me something to do, because company sales are still way down and we're getting hardly any work coming through. It was bad enough we were doing overflow tasks for other teams. I did a couple credit ( Read more... )

Um, mum finally got around to giving me b-day money, right? Almost five months later, but whatever. Anyway, money. The Kobo was on sale at Walmart for $119.99 so I wanted to get one. Only they were sold out, 'cause last day of sale, duh. But I wanted an eReader. So, mum's all like "well, didn't you want that Kindle thing?" and so I bit the bullet ( Read more... )

We went and saw Eclipse today. I wanted to see Toy Story 3, but I got outvoted. Aunt Shell and Liz wanted to see Eclipse, so Eclipse it was. Not the worst movie in the world. Better than Twilight, not as good as New Moon. Doesn't help, either, that I had to pee from about a quarter of the way through and kept fidgeting and thinking about how much I ( Read more... )

My brother bailed on our plans to see Alice in Wonderland tomorrow so me and Liz decided to go today without him. Hah! It's her March Break, so she had the day off school and I had the day off work and we'd planned on going to the mall anyway, so it seemed like a good idea. Plus Leanna had an early class and could come with us. Such fun ( Read more... )

Mike and Cagney picked me up after work tonight and we went to the mall. This was not pre-planned. They were furniture shopping. They want a new sofa for their living room. So I spent a good 45 minutes sitting in United Furniture Warehouse trying to amuse myself with my cellphone. And looking at bedroom sets. I want one. None of my bedroom ( Read more... )

I'm so, so, so bad at Christmas shopping. You have no idea.

I got Leanna something small and Liz another Twilight thing and spent around $70 on clothes for my mother. Because mum never buys clothes for herself. It's sad and she's always wearing things nan gives to her and there is a difference between fashion intended for a 60 year-old and fashion ( Read more... )
