I did get the 3-12am shift with an hour lunch, oh well it's only for one month. I've decided to take a week off july 7-11 and I have weekends off so it will actually be a 9 day vacation. I was able to use the banked time that I've been saving and had some vacation and floater time to cover 2days. I've been approved for the 7, 9, and 11 and I am #1 on the wait list for the 8 and 10. I'm pretty sure that I'll be approved, there's lots of time available, so there is no reason for them not to approve it. I'm taking a 4 day weekend in May for the victoria day weekend. Jackie is coming to Fredericton for her graduation, so it was a good weekend to book time off. I'm going to do taxes this weekend, I know...I should've had them done by now, but I had to call and get my T4 for Connect North America and I just got it (2 wks ago)....which I suppose is no excuse, but after working all week the last thing that I feel like doing on the weekends is my taxes. I wonder if that place "help for taxes" charges anything to get them to help out, probably. I should have a pretty decent return, if I get it before July, maybe I'll use it to treat Sam and I to a real vacation somewhere. Do I need a passport to fly within Canada? That would take some time, I'm sure we could work something out with the travel agency we book with. I was thinking maybe going to Toronto, I've never been to Ontario at all, maybe it would be a good choice. Any suggestions?
The lady from family services contacted Sam the other day and said that she is going to try and get him some extra money for transportation and living expenses! She be at school to meet him on Tuesday to get his signature for some things. So the government is paying for his $1800 program and giving him extra money!! He got his first EI cheque in the mail today, so I got some money he owed me and he paid his mom some money for his cell bill (that he doesn't need, but wants for whatever reason, silly man). I got home and he told me that he was going to go downtown to his buddy Charles' house to hang out for awhile. He also asked me if it was o.k if he went to Saint John this weekend. I told him it doesn't matter to me, but he has to make damn sure he's home Sunday, since he has class Monday morning. I'm so happy for him. He's been pretty happy the last week, everything's been working in his favor. I emailed Compu College about their pharmacy technician course and a woman called me about it and wanted to set up a meeting, but I told her I work full time and I wasn't available. She said she would email the info to me, but still hasn't. I hope she doesn't forget. If I were to take that course I would know absoluely what kind of job I'm qualified to do and have the training for something more specific. Stupid BA....learn to think for yourself.....gain a bunch of knowledge but have no where to apply it......challenge ideas....
