I got my shift bid and it is exactly what I was hoping for! It will start on Feb 2-29, and I will work 12:30-9pm with 9-9:45pm double overtime. I will be able to catch the bus there and back. I figure I can just goof around on the Internet for 15-20mins before going outside to wait for the bus at 10:20pm. My supervisor came around to my team and told us all that we are getting a 50cent raise as of Feb 2/08! That just made my day yesterday! I also got my three month review yesterday (a month late) and I am doing well in everything. My supervisor said that there is always room for improvement, but I'm right on track and consistently improving. I'm very excited. Yesterday there were cookies and juice as a for the staff as a thank you for everyone working extra hours while we're so busy. Last night I met Sam after work and Sam, Tara, Matt and I all sat around drinking for awhile after the restaurant was closed. At about 12am they decided that they wanted to go downtown to Sweetwaters. I didn't really see the point because it would almost be closing time by the time we got there anyway. Sam and I had planned to go get groceries and rent a movie, but they all decided to go out to the bar. Sam offered to pay for everything so I agreed. We left Mikes at about 12:30am, stopped at our apartment so I could drop off my enormous purse, then went to Matt's house so he could change his shirt, it was dirty from working all day. We finally arrived downtown at Sweetwaters at 1amish. We got in and Sam bought us a couple of drinks and we went to hang out by the bar. The floor was really wet and Sam slipped and smashed his beer bottle into his hand. He has a great big gouge out of his hand, I told him that he probably should get stitches. By the time he got his hand all cleaned up and stopped the bleeding the bar was closing and everyone was herded towards the coat check. That took forever and getting a cab took forever, so we didn't end up getting home until after 3am. What a waste of a night. We could have gotten a couple drinks and rented a movie...*snuggled*...and gone to bed without injury at a decent hour. Oh well. Today I walked up the hill with him when he needed to go to work. I just got groceries at Zellers to avoid the crowded grocery store and so I could bring Gizmo. Usually I walk home with Gizmo, but I had a ton of groceries, so I called a cab. They always laugh when I call a cab to Zellers for myself and little dog. Next week I only work three days! i took My Birthday (Jan 22) and Jan 23rd off. So I go to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off, work Thursday and Friday, and then it's the weekend again! Woohoo! I love weekends. I'm going to go make something for my supper....:) Happy January!
