Do you ever feel like you're doing nothing with yourself and like you could be doing something much better? That's how I feel right now when I am at work. My job has become a game to me, "How to waste the day away and not get caught". It's not the most fun game in the world but it is what it is. I sit at a desk Monday to Friday with literally nothing at all to do. When I first came into this job it was everything I had hoped for but rather quickly turned into my worst nightmare...nothing! If you combine my entire weeks work you will realize that when put together my tasks equal one day(sometimes not even that) of a normal persons job tasks. I end up spending my days on the Internet blogging, Facebooking, or random Google searching or texting my friends. Since I am not supposed to be doing either I have to make sure I keep my phone under my desk and that I minimize my screen every time I hear approaching footsteps. I even have gone as far as learning every one's footfalls so I know who is approaching and if I need to close my screen rather than minimize. Don't get me wrong, I have tried to create actual work tasks for myself but I have done so much that there is nothing left for me to do. I ask my boss if there is anything that needs to be done and she usually says no or hands me two pieces of paper that need to be filed. This isn't a job, it's a waste of time. I need to be doing something. I miss working with customers and interacting with other employees that actually want to interact with you. Therefore I am on the job hunt again. I hate being on the job hunt but I am so sick of these nothing jobs where I sit on my butt day after day. Tonight the first official stop on my hunt will be U Weight Loss Centre. I submitted an application this past Friday and was called for an interview Saturday. We shall see how the interview goes this evening. I am predicting good things and have my list of questions prepared to make sure I get as much knowledge of the job as possible. I see many pro's to this job and hoping that I do not see any con's. If I do manage to get this job I will feel bad leaving my current one. I think my boss may have gone out on a limb for me because she knows my Mom. There even are a few people that I will miss seeing everyday but I need to do what's best for me and right now BOMImed is certainly not best for me. I am keeping my chin up because I know that there is a job out there that is just waiting for me!
A chilly but fabulous long weekend just past. I truly wish that it could have been longer. I am completely worn out but I think that just shows that I took the long weekend and ran with it!! The weekend began before the week was even complete. Thursday night we had friends over for pizza and beer! This was the beginning of the late nights. Thursday was great though because I met one of Adam's friends girlfriend Jamie and I believe we have a good friendship in our future. Friday night I headed over to Jamie's place to hang out. It was a rather eventful evening but unfortunately I was feeling a tad under the weather which prevented me from having as much fun as I could have! As they continued to another party I wandered on home in the slightly chilly snowy night. Saturday morning brought a cookie explosion! My great pal Kristen came over to escape the hurricane that occurred in her apartment and we baked over four dozen sugar cookies. They were Halloween themed and we even decorated them!! It was an excellent morning of baking and girl talk. Saturday evening brought a birthday meal for our pal Les at Tony Roma's. The company was superb but the meal was a disappointment. I ordered a basic chicken fingers and fries..they were horrible; way over salted. Adam had steak and it was flavourless. The food cost a good chunk and it was not worth it at all. And then there was Sunday. It was a nice laid back kind of day. I picked up the groceries and then came home and just relaxed. Our first Thanksgiving meal of the weekend was that evening! We headed over to Adam's parents to enjoy a delicious turkey dinner!! Monday had it's ups and downs. We headed to my Dad's place for lunch where we enjoyed a wonderful meal and then Adam and I cleaned my junk out of my old bedroom there. I found my Eeyore Jammie's!!! Once we got home we were greeted with the pleasant surprise of a furnace that crapped out. But at least it didn't happen in the dead of winter, right? Later yesterday night my bestest bud in the entire world , Kaitlyn came over with her father the "Jack of all Trades". Daddio Pankiw may be an electrician by day but he's superman by night. He was able to diagnose what was wrong and is coming tonight to fix it at a cheaper rate than any furnace man would charge us. I love that man!!! It was mildly chilly in the house last night with no furnace but at least we had our little radiator and down filled comforter from our chilly days spent in the summer kitchen last year!
It's a short work week due to Thanksgiving and I am predicting a promising week. With the way things are looking up all might be well very soon. I have the possibility of a new job to look forward to, visiting with good friends and the execution of my hair; I'm chopping it off...all off. Well not all but it's getting short I promise you that!!
Today was brought to you by the letter "P"...Keep warm and experience things!!
