InBlogNito

So thirty posts later and I’m getting into this whole blogging thing a lot better than I thought I would! It’s kinda cool to have an outlet, I’m not really a ‘writer’, I can write a kick ass essay (even though certain lecturers obviously don’t agree!), but I was never any good at anything creative or expressive. I hate diaries, they just aren’t for me, I just have one that tells me I have to go to the dentist on monday and have work on wednesday and friday.

Speaking of work, after this I’m going to write my resignation letter. I have to give two weeks notice, which is a bit of a pain, I was hoping for one, so I could get some extra hours over the holiday break first! Nevermind, I do have one extra shift this week, and they’ve rung me twice in the last week wanting me to work (cept I wasn’t available), so hopefully they will keep that up. The big boss is managing our store at the moment cos the manager left. He seems ok, but it’s still scary! Owners of businesses such as mine (bagel shop), supermarkets etc. are complete assholes as a general rule. Last time an owner came and told me how to do my job I went home on my break and wrote my resignation letter. I was packing groceries FFS, how can you fuck that up?!?! It was one of those situations that I would never have come out on top of. I got picked on for putting too much in one bag (3 items if I remember correctly), however if I had separated them out, I would bet a whole lotta money that I would have got picked on for using too many bags! Pissed me off cos I’m a very consciencous (sp?!) worker, I always made sure I packed those groceries carefully, there was never too much in one bag, nothing ever got squashed, I didn’t put laundry powder, fruit and meat all in the same bag (which is what most checkout people do with my groceries!). Really fucked me off you know. I was kinda ‘above’ that sorta work by then, it was fine when I was 16 as an afternoon job, but not so great to go back to at 22 and have to work with all those 16 year olds lol. I saw myself at that age in all of them, but was so over that phase of my life myself!

Anyways, blabbering on here, I’m not sure how I got onto that topic, that wasn’t in my posting plan for today! My topic for today was actually how addicted to coffee I am! I have never needed coffee on a daily basis, but lately I’ve been drinking so much of it suddenly I can’t live without it!! My plunger coffee is going ok, just as well, cos I can’t afford to keep up the $3.50 a pop cappacino habit! Oh how I will miss my 75% discount at bagel shop too… My stomach is not going to miss it so much, I’ve put on so much weight since I discovered cream cheese!! mmm… so many good flavours and such a perfect filling for a bagel!

Also what I was going to say is that all I have done is bitch and moan for the past few posts. With kinda good reason or at least a good excuse, the past few weeks have been highly stressful with all my uni stuff. But no more bitching about the flatmates!! They really are very nice, they help out with random stuff, and give me DVDs and actually contribute to cleaning, which I don’t think I’ve ever experienced to this degree in 6 years of flatting!! Of course I should also keep in mind those first coupl of ignorant years where I was the one who never lifted a finger and created a whole ton of mess!!

Haha, right as I’m typing this M (male half of couple) keeps getting up to answer the door, he’s convinced someone is knocking, he’s checked 3 times so far, but noone is there. Dunno what he’s on, lol! I’m ‘on duty’ today/tonight, which means when people come knocking it’s probably to ask me stupid questions, like the guy who wanted a top up on his internet outside of office hours (which I’m not supposed to do). He got the warning email TWO DAYS ago to tell him he’d used 80% of the weekly allowance and hadn’t bothered to do anything about it in those two days, if you use 80% of your allowance in less than 60% of the week you’d think you’d work out it was going to run out.

Or the girl who was complaining that the heating isn’t on during the day, lots of people here are from more tropical areas, so they feel the cold a lot more. I’m a tough southern girl (remember I’m in the hemisphere where south is colder and north is hotter lol), I’m sitting here with my two windows wide open even though it’s a shitty day and the wind is blowing and I’m comfortable! This is apparently the shittiest winter in my city out of the past 3 or so, but I think it’s the mildest winter I’ve ever experienced in my whole life, so I think the whingers should just stop their damn whinging, they don’t know what they’re on about!

Says me, the best whinger of them all when it comes to a myriad of other topics.

I had to get an extension on my last assignment damnit, I was doing soooo well, getting all my other stuff done, but after that and the weekend with my parents, I just slept my way through the week, and when I was awake I could not be arsed studying, watching Grey’s and reading my book was so much more fun, so 3 hours before the due time I begged for an extension. Then the school email system crapped out on me and I didn’t know for another nail biting hour and a half whether or not I got the damn extension!

Anyway, enough rambling from me, I thought I would have less to write when I wasn’t in such an agitated everything-is-fucking-me-off sort of mood, but apparently not!

I’m off to do more puter-nerd-wannabe stuff, I’ve been memory testing and HDD testing and playing with BIOS all morning, I’m waiting for the whole thing to crash on me and just not bother turning on again! so if go AWOL you’ll know where I am, haha.
