finding my way back...
Right now, i really appreciate my co-workers.
About an hour and a half ago, i was taken out to lunch by two of the women i work with. (We got sushi at this place where the food is pretty good, but the service is crazy slow).
I found out that two of my bosses wanted them to take me out to 'keep my spirits up'. I thought that it was a really kind gesture.
I got paid in full for the three weeks i wasn't here. They sent flowers twice. A couple of co-workers showed up at the gathering. They are making sure that if there's anything they can do to help to let them know.
my work place is really quite amazing.
(i wasn't sure how to bring up the subject of vacation, seeing as i've just taken three weeks off and wasn't sure if i was really still entitled to it, even considering the situation, when they mentioned Australia. Unfortunetly, Australia is a bust, but i did not-so-subtley say something about Comic Con in July. So i'm thinking that i get at least a week off, and thats when i plan to take it.)
I think i'll go back to chapters after my birthday. I don't want to say that i'll come back now only to have to book off my birthday and it be a hassle and everything. I'll just wait for a couple weeks. But i do plan to go back. (even if they didn't send flowers or a card or anything. Its not that i overly care seeing as we got tons of flowers and cards, but both my sister's work and my work sent flowers. i mean, i know that i'm a part time employee at chapters, but still. i just thought it was funny that chapters didn't send anything. it just makes me think less and less of the fucktards that are in charge. Not Steven though. I got a hug from him, and i'm allowed one more. There was a card from FRIENDS at Chapters, not the store itself. God, if i didn't love some of the people there so much, i'd probably be outta there by now. the store itself going downhill. but this isn't a post about how much i dislike chapters. its a post about how much i like my other co-workers right now. but i do love my friends at chapters. they're the only part of that place that makes it worthwhile being there.)
wow, way to go off on a tangent there, tater.
last night mares and i had dinner with Dad (greek takeout! yum!!) and stayed there until about 830. We got home and talked to Cousin Kim for a bit, then i waited for kieran to call me as i played on the internet - i've been going through a... well, i bought Seasons 1 & 2 of Veronica Mars (partly because of the Logan/Veronica aspect), then i went through this crazy Smallville Lois/Clark thing (i hunted for clips and vids on youtube) for some unknown reason as i don't even watch the show, and then i went on a hunt for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles icons and clips on youtube. (seriously, that whole cast frakkin rocks.)
(and if i could just ask everyone and anyone to keep an eye out for any kind of icon with Sarah and John and the text "I'll Always Find You" for me, that would be much appreciated. I loved that scene so much.)
ANYWAY, around... 1030? ish? kieran calls and i take him back to his place from the mall as he just finished helping his brother move, and he had to pick up the gifts he got me. He got me two purses - the big ones that can hold everything and anything. I recently bought a purse that was the complete opposite of that, since i wanted something small. that same day, he texted me telling me that he got me a big purse. but for some reason he thought that my favourite movie was The Nightmare Before Christmas and got me a purse with Jack Skellington on it. I think i've seen it... maybe once? years and years ago? but its a nice bag and its big. and Jack is cool. But he also got me this other one (which today i discovered my friend Megan has too!) and its so adorable!
But right now i'm going to stick with my little bag. I got it for a reason, and i quite like it.
besides, the only thing i wanted from him was a postcard, which he forgot at his house when he was giving me the purses he bought. sometimes he's such a tard.
But we went to blendz and he got a hot chocolate and i got a tea and we hung out in my car in the parking lot for a couple hours. i got a back massage in the end, and that was really nice. i don't usually think of myself as a tense person, but apparently i always have been.
still, it was nice having him around so i could pick on him and slap him around and generally take my mind off of things. He's a good distraction because he's stupid and i get to threaten him (last night i was threatening him with my hot tea by tipping it every so slightly directly over his lap. it was fun).
still. I'm surrounded by wonderfully supportive people, and i don't know what i've done to deserve such great friends.
