Farewell!

FINALLY, "Jane" decided to quit! :D
I know its mean that I am happy, but I grew to despise her greatly... She was extremely lazy and enjoyed ordering others around, and was very rude!
She only works one day a week, with me that is... very unfortunate! She claims that she can't work here anymore because she has "shift work" for her full time job, but I think she's just embarrassed that she doesn't know how to do any of the work here and has to deal with attitude that these girls half her age give her.

Tonight is her last shift, and lucky for me (sarcasm) I am stuck with her..
Our HR Administrator came to speak to her, and I had to sit through her BS talk with her about how she's not available to work, and she didn't want to mess up the existing schedule... She likes to pretend she does a lot for the company, which is funny because she does NO work... ever.

Whatever, the point is I'm glad shes leaving, this means less anger/frustrations and more shifts for me :)

double you tee eff

So I am at work again, and I was trying to kill time on youtube, I came across a video of a girls make up haul, and she was talking about how she bought some make up for the eyes; specifically an eyeliner and a set of eyeshadows. She went on to say how she tried the eyeliner on her waterline, (for those of you who are unfamiliar with what a waterline is, please see the link below), she said the eyeliner did not work out for her, because it didn't stay...SO WHAT DID SHE DO?! She re-sealed it and RETURNED IT! THAT IS SOOO UNHYGENIC! ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SHE USED IT! And making matters worse, she annouced that on youtube where millions of people can see it!

I am so disgusted! I hope Pharma Plus has some sort of polciy where they throw out returned cosmetics!

At work again..

So as the title says, I am at work again, hence the entry... Since I've graduated, I haven't done much. I am currently enrolled in a cake decorating class (if the cakes turn out nice, I'll post pics lol). Besides that I work 4 days of the week. My life is pretty boring. But thats not the point of this entry.

Tonight I am working with a middle aged woman. Most of the night time secretaries are in their twenties. This woman, lets call her Jane, Jane is older than the day time secretaries, Jane is probably in her late 40's, she is single, no children (no one knows if she has ever been married) and she lives with her mother. Which is not a problem, HERE is the problem... Jane is not only LAZY, she acts as if she is the boss, and technically we (the other night time secretaries) are her seniors, since we've been here longer than her. She orders (not asks.. ORDERS) us to do things, when she is doing absolutely nothing! Beyond that... when she needs help, naturally she asks BUT when you explain to her she responds "yeah yeah yeah ok I get it" before you can finish explaining...soo whats the point of asking?

For an older woman who has experience in this field of work, she doesn't seem to know what shes doing! She takes HOURS (I am not exaggerating) on data entry work, which takes myself and the other secretaries 30 minutes (maximum) to do.

Above all, she always eats at her desk, which is fine but she CHEWS LIKE A COW, and its sooo loud it makes me cringe! Sometimes I think she secretly does things to drive people insane. She often talks to herself or reads things aloud, but in a soft quiet tone, almost like shes muttering..its rather annoying! Today she decided to play with her pen, she has been clicking it for 5minutes now, I want to stick that pen up her nose!

Other secretaries have actually requested NOT to be scheduled with her, and shes been talked to many times. And you would think, as a grown adult she would take responsibility... but NO she blames other people, as if she was a 6 year old child. This woman is WHACK.

I dislike her very much. I hope she quits or gets fired!

Christmas

Growing up, next to my birthday Christmas had always been the most exciting holiday of the year, it was always exciting to put up the tree and decorate it. As a kidI would beg my parents to put up the tree and I would go hang the stockings and my parents would decorate the lights. I even went as far as decorating my staircase, which no one saw (unless they came into the house), and I would always wake up super early on Christmas day with my family to open gifts. But as I got older I grew to hate this holiday more and more.

I think it started in grade 11 or 12? I can't remember. I just remember bad things happening around Christmas, not like life changing bad things, but just little things that added up to make me remember the season as angry, fights, and unhappiness.

Even the presents don't help, it's no longer exciting to unwrap my gifts. Maybe I just grew up? or Christmas for me is just a time for fighting and unnecessary drama. I have even made an effort to try to like Christmas again. But I still can't find anything to like about it. It's a rather depressing time of year for me. I'll still try to make the most of it.

Snowy Roads

There's one thing that really boggles my mind... Why are the lines on the road white? because when you think about it, its probably the stupidest idea ever! Especially in the winter. SNOW IS WHITE and so is ROAD SALT, so driving at night, in the middle of a snow storm, is extremely difficult! We seriously need better transportation planners.

I personally DESPISE slow drivers (on a perfectly normal day), but I totally understand winter driving is difficult so please drive slow and be safe (no sarcasm). And forgive me if I am driving about 10km under the speed limit.

Of course there are those idiots who have a pair of snow tires and think they are invincible, To those CRAZY drivers out there who tail me or cut me off when its a DOWN HILL SLOPE: YOU PEOPLE ARE INSANE! Clearly some North Americans do not understand the dangers of winter driving. If you are in a rush (unless your significant other is in labor) PLAN AHEAD! DON'T drive like a maniac and harm others!

I just like to point out, the snow/weather really isn't the cause of traffic accidents its CRAZY "I THINK I AM INVINCIBLE" Drivers!

70's

Last night I had my second last exam of my undergraduate education. It wouldn't have been hard if I had study (go figure), but I think I did decent. And I will graduate with a decent mark in that class.

At the end of the exam, the professor returned our final papers, my classmates and I stood around outside the exam room looking over our papers, I did well (I got an A), which I am happy with because considering how after the exam my mark will not likely be and A anymore.

One of my classmates who I am not friends with, but we're acquainted (I don't even know his name), approached me and asked "Did you get a really high mark?" I am not one to disclose my marks to my classmates, because I feel that it is purposeless. If my classmate did better than me, I would be sad right? and if I did better than my classmate, they would be sad. So we can avoid all this sadness if people just never disclosed their marks. A simple "I did well" or "I didn't do so well" will suffice.

So I tell my classmate, "I did well". And he asks "oh how well?" to keep the story short, he basically kept harassing me about it. And I figured oh what the heck, I will probably never see this guy again! So I told him I got an A (hoping that it ends his 21 questions!) but noo, he goes on to ask "what is you mark going into the exam?" So I told him that my mark going into the exam is an A.

Now heres the best part of the story...

My classmate's response was "WOW! You've been getting ALL 70's!" and I was really confused because we go to the same school, where A= 80+ and I gave him a funny look and he turned over to his friends and said "SHE'S BEEN GETTING ALL 70's" and the all looked as if I had won the lottery.. at that point I didn't bother to explain to them that 70's are really B's. I guess him and his friends have never gotten A's or they have mistaken 70's for A's for FOUR YEARS!

Sometimes 4th Year university students surprise me!

Nothing New

Really, there is nothing new... my exam is tonight at 7pm, and I seriously need to be studying! But the internet is preventing me from studying. Last night I wasted 2 hrs online shopping! Wish me luck on my exam!
