over the moon! well, in that totally less romanticized way.

I came home totally pissed off, not so much on how the morning has turned out. Angelica did drop a bottle of milk which ended up wetting my pair of Naturalizers. I dropped a bottle of milk afterwards, good thing it was almost finished so the damage was minimal. And then Tim knocked over two grande drinks, syrups included. We had a good laugh thereafter. Everything was good and I left the store in good work spirits but still stressed.

So many things going on and turning out a bit on the sour side. I'm lucky my parents just shrug these things off and are not as pedantic as I thought they might be. Perhaps uncertainty just whacks me off balance and I am so having a load of that with my Aussie status put on hold for what seems like forever and also an agent who misinforms me on what turns out to be rather crucial for me (read: health insurance).

And so I have spent a fair bit of money, which I'd really rather charge my credit card as I am too cheap and poor (firstly, I am poor and so I have to be cheap) to pay for it myself.

I've been waiting my whole life to do some real camera action and finally I'm scheduled for camera training. Having a bit of a boo boo encounter with the organizers. I'm too tired to elaborate. I've been rolling my eyes too much.

I shall conclude that such is life and perhaps there's nothing more I can do.

time off!

Off from work... so taking a lazy day off yet trying to get some stuff done in a rather mediocre fashion. Guess tiredness makes one mediocre. I just felt like not getting out of bed this morning but I know I'll feel bloody crappy if I don't.

Attention deficiency gets to me. Some people just hits the right chord to tick me off. Luckily I had the perfect excuse to walk out of it yesterday. Good thing the page is about to be turned.

Went by the Quay yesterday to get some stuff for work. It was some sort of a swap cos the managers purposely didn't order much to lower cost of goods. Anyway, I like the Quay. Everyone seems nice and all. Anne expressed her unfavourable comments on the XBR program. It's some sort of internal control the company is putting in place to increase security over cash handling matters.

On the same note, I'm kinda screwed because I've been doing a lot of line voids on my registers the past month, due to customers and also due to my fat fingers. Apparently the district managers read the essays we write on the back of the warning letters and he has just told Amanda to talk to me about the till sharing issue I brought up, which I didn't because I'm not as dumb as to admit to some purposely placed blunder.

Amanda helped me move most of my stuff yesterday but then there's still a lot of packing to be done. Gotta get the kitchenwares into boxes for when Bernee helps us.

Managed to organize my stuff a bit, which is good. Have my books and magazines piled high in my room. Never realized I have that much. I guess I'll end up tearing them up to wallpaper my really white walls. I like white but I have to live in colour.

Busy day tomorrow. Got church, work and dinner.

Living on Paninis

This day marks my dependence on paninis. They hardly cost anything, which is good for me as I am spending a tad over my limit. perhaps my aim is to spend relatively less than what I earn. Tricky tricky.

Currently in the process of moving. I owe my flatmate a rough sum, close to a grand but she owes me more than half of what I owe her. So my debt isn't that bad.

Dad's birthday is coming up so had to go look for something. I'm also looking for the clothing bin so I can donate some stuff to charity. Stuff that will reduce the clutter in my life.

Just did a round of moving Ivannah junk over so I'm kinda tired. I worked a full shift, too. Currently doing some admin stuff... Then off to North Sydney to tidy up as I've left a mess there...

assuming roles...

There is just that urge to do something but as I rack my brain for the specifics, my mind goes blank. I suspect I have just been through some sort of writer's block which I would say is the main cause of my blogging hiatus for the past X weeks. Another reason could be inconvenience and lack of space.

Yesterday marked my first day in business. I am officially a freelance writer, legally in business. Sounds exciting but yeah the thrill has expired for now, at least. Everything involves a lot of waiting and while I am in that whole lot of waiting periods at once, I think of what else I should do. Maybe one day they will all get me at once and then I shall be overwhelmed to the very last nerve.

Mom was just here for the nth time and dragged one of her little sisters along. Had a bit of a holiday there, a stressful one at that as I have to do the whole entertaining thing which I am not particularly fond of although I really don't mind. Anyhoo, it was good while it lasted but I felt tired afterwards.

Currently sorting stuff at work and all that jazz. Transferring to the Quay. Yes, another transfer as I have gone past my one year mark in Wynyard. Moving around is doing me good. I refuse to be stuck in a comfort zone.

Speaking of moves, we just signed a lease contract and will be moving in the next 15 days. New address. That's my business address. More work to be done soon. Hopefully I get my brain busy but not overly busy.
