Before I get down to anything I'd like to take a moment to recognise the greatness of Janet. The sparkling wit, the kind soul, the entreprenaurial spirit. To think I had spent so much time on this site without mentioning these things makes me hang my head in shame. Janet you are great and I am very glad that you have been commenting. Please continue and say hello to Rodger and Emma for me.
Happy Happy Happy birthday to my two favorite twins (except for mum and Janet) in th whole world. I hope you have a super super fine day. Tim party on in India, Simon get down at Dale.
Ok. I have a LOT to tell you all. I may split everything so that the next journal I write has stuff in it also. Ok. On Friday I had the best day of work EVER.
As the bus pulled up I looked up and down the street and saw that all of the lights were off. When I went in to the store I saw everyone huddled around the front discussing what should be done. While the managers were making phone calls I sat on one of the comfy chairs that always look so good when you have been on your feet all day. I chatted with some of the other staff until they put the generator on and we had to put stuff out and they got ready to open the store. Nothing worked. All of the sales were put through by hand. There was a blizzard out side and people still were pulling up to shop for our crap. After a while the generator died and Everyone was ushered out of the store. We sat at the front of the store while the store manager tried to give us stuff to do in front of the windows which was the only place you could see. Then the lights came on. It was chaos. I love chaos.
I went out to dinner with Jane Anns family on Friday night. We went to a crazy buffet place that had EVERYTHING. It was pretty cool. I got a little disorientated though and spent some time wandering aimlessly around the various dishes.
On Saturday and Sunday I worked. It was REALLY cold and I had to catch 2 buses to get to and from work (my normal bus doesn't run on the weekend) and wait in -18 degree temperature for the bus. It took me two hours to get there and back. That was a drag.
I also have gotten a part in the play that I have auditioned for. I am not sure what part I have gotten. I didn't get the phone call, a message was left on the machine. I have emailed the guy but I am still not sure. You'll all find out next time. I have the first practice tommorrow. I am VERY excited. I haven't been so excited about anything for a long time. Which brings me to my final point. I asked my work if I could be made unavailable on Tuesday an Thursday evenings so I could go to rehearsals. They said NO! So tommorrow I will resign. It just isn't worth it. I have an interview tommorrow at a bookstore for part-time and ant a call centre on Thursday. Call centre is Mon-Fri 9-5 for 11 weeks. That would be perfect. Send good vibes. I hope everyone is well and doing fine. Talk to you all soon.
