I loved having a four day week last week, it was wonderful and just flew by! I also have a four day week this week, having booked today off awhile ago. Alicia from work also has today off to attend a dentist appointment, so we decided to drink and watch cartoons last night. Now I haven't watched any cartoons in years and was shocked to discover how inappropriate and sexually oriented they have become! We watched channel 17 and it was the Simpsons, 2 episodes of family guy and then we just watched TLC. Where are the cartoond for kids? Are they all japanimation now? Who knows!
So, on to my low position in the shift bid, thankfully Alicia is low in the shift bid 12/15 and offered to give me a ride home if we're both off at 12am, which we probably will be. Most early shifts only have one opening, the shifts that end at midnight have 5 openings! Which will mean that the people 10-15 will be working until midnight I would think. At least it's just for one month though, cause my collections calls kick butt(toot-toot), so next month I would think I would be higher on the shift bid. My team lead gave me alittle project to do while the calls were slow on Friday. She asked me to make up a survey to get to know the team better(favorite colors, foods, etc), so that was nice to be asked out of the rest of the team. She also called me on Saturday to see if I wanted to come in and make some extra money. I politely declined the offer, I'm there enough already.
Sam and I have decided that I should book a week off the second week of July. July shifts are only 7hrs on the calendar right now, so if I book now I'll only need 35hrs. I've already got 24 in my banked and I'm pretty sure I still have 13hrs vacation left. Sam went and did his testing for the program that starts next week today. I'm pretty sure this means that he got referred....he said that the woman at family counselling services (the one he needs for the referral) also said that she would help him get his EI, so he would have it the entire program period. If he can take another culinary arts program while he's got this lady's help I told him to go for it. This way when he goes back to work (working under an actual chef) he can clock his hours and take his test for his block two.
My ring that mom bought me when I was eight broke. I am really rough on rings. I've got to get the one Sam bought me reset, the stone in the ring mom got me put back in and to extend the gold band across the ring, AND the little diamond (that I already replaced once) replaced again on my ring like moms. Good thing I've still got some Regent mall gift cards. I'm just not getting any of the work done at the same place that replaced the little diamond and it fell out again, what shotty work!
