happiest day of my life

I finally received my laptop yesterday, but was very depressed because im computer illiterate and couldn't get anything to work (ie connect to the internet)  But fortunately my cousin who is apparently out drinking right now, managed to tell me over the phone a very complicated way to fix everything.  Yes, I am a moron, and yes, I am very thankful for computer geniuses. Regardless, i am now finally free from my PC YAY!

I honestly love my new macbook, but i feel like a complete idiot because i dont know how to use it.   Once i figure it out, ill take my laptop to class and maximize my blogging time.

bar dancing

I have officailly decided that this weekend was the last time I'm going out for the rest of the semseter (exceptions may occur).
I was forced into going to the Hedley after party (don't ask). I still don't understand who in the right mind would go willingly to watch an outdoor concert in ths weather. I, on the otherhand spent that time delightfully warm inside the nearest Starbucks. The night actually wasn't half-bad, I obviously tried to make it better by drinking, and by the end of the night we ended up at bside. I haven't been there in ages and for some reason thought it would be a good idea to bar-dance. I've decided that this is one of the things i should put an end to in 2009. It always seems like a good idea when I'm there, but i always look back and think: why??? I was also extremely offended when someone told me that i dance seductively.
Definitely putting an end to that.
And of course, I had only 3 hours of sleep that night and then went to work a 12 hour shift. Another deciding factor as to why I will be staying at home for the next several weeks.

Death to UPS

I actually can't wait until Monday morning so that I can call UPS and give them a piece of my mind. After the whole printer fiasco, I tracked my next package online and it claims to have already been delivered. I still don't have my laptop and I am getting very irritated.

CSST

I came into work ridiculously late today, and was waiting for my boss to fire me, when instead she said that there was a lot of cleaning to be done on the shelves, but that I was "exempt from cleaning" I was very surprised until she told me it was regarding the email I had sent the managers during my last shift. Long story short I do not have to clean because I suffered from severe truama, while Melissa is suffering from a broken collarbone.

This is the email I sent, and after reading it a second time I think I may have been a tad too aggressive...

Hi,

We had pretty slow day today, and unfortunately could not make our goal. Melissa kept track of the guest count, and from 5-7:45 there wer no guests in the store at all. One guest came in the store after 7:45 and it was the last guest of the day.

ALSO:
It was very traumatizing, and I have warned everyone before that we can't fill up the drawers because they get too heavy. Predictably enough, the ENTIRE body care section came crashing down on on Melissa, and I wasn't strong enough to help remove the wall-unit off of her. Thankful someone ran into the store, and helped me lift it off of her. In the process we lost: carribean therapy body scrub tester ( which exploded across the store), RM hand and body wash tester, 2 soap plates, boxes of both the refreshing and carribean therapy soaps got stained from the exploding scrub, and all the soap testers have dents in them from hitting the floor.

We attempted to put the unit back in place, however the drawers are still so full that when you open one, they both slide open. I strongly recommend that we get two people to empty the drawers (one person emptying, while the other is spotting). We have also noticed that there are holes in the wall-units that are meant to be used to drill the wall-unit to the wall. Perhaps we can get someone to come in and secure the unit onto the wall.

This had once happened to me years ago, and that is why I keep going around and emptying the drawers, and putting the heavy stuff in the back. I hope we can all continue doing the same thing, as well as NOT filling the the drawers to the brim. We have possibly avoided very dangerous accidents, and we are lucky that Melissa did not get severly injured in the process (she did however hurt herself from the impact of the wall unit crashing onto her neck/shoulder.) Let's try to avoid this in the future.

life plan

I really hate when I ask other people what program they're in and they feel the need to tell me their major and their future careers. I get that everyone else out there has life goals, I really do. Is it normal that I don't have a life plan? I forgot to mention that I'm a science-gone-commerce-gone-science-gone-arts student, and I'm considering once again going back into science. Which by the way requires that I take linear algebra AGAIN, 9:30 in the morning and with a prof who has to be the scariest 95 year-old man I have ever seen.

Back to life plans, I have none. I realised that school probably won't do much. According to Julian, what I'm studying will only allow me to get a job at Indigo. I will probably have to resort to marrying rich and avoid worrying about a lifeplan.

Mail-Snatcher

I have been waiting very patiently for the last few days to receive my new laptop and I was extremely excited to find out that a package came in the mail today. When I got home I was horrified to see that it was my stupid printer that came in the mail instead of my glorious macbook. Disappointment aside, I have to mention the debacle that came about this package.
Apparently, the package came in and my neighbour thought it would be a good idea to sign for me (since I was not home). After calling all my neighbours she admitted that she had the box. When was she planning on telling me that she had a massive box with my name on it. I am extremely annoyed to know that she had my mail in her possession and could potentially still have my macbook in her home. Okay maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but we don't get along with the neighbours and have been feuding with them for a while. I'm still very pissed that "Chantal" did not bring to my attention that she had a very large/expensive package in her possession.
By the end of all this, I'm still waiting for my laptop.
If it doesn't come in a few days, I blame Chantal.

origins

I have been wanting to create a blog for quite some time now, but I could never think of what to call it or when to start. Now that school has started, I realized that I will need something to occupy my boring class time and voila: stacy's blog.

welcome to the rantings of my life.
