This week went by fairly quickly. Monday went by quickly enough and I got sent home early which was nice. One of the Team managers (Cindy) had some people doing off phone work on Tuesday, and I volunteered my services to her. She took me up on it and scheduled me to do offline work all day. It was awesome! I went in Wednesday and took calls until my first break and went to see her again (once again volunteering myself to complete the offline work) and she had me off the phones again. Thursday I think I took calls most of the day, but still did some offline stuff. Friday there was a BBQ at work, I had a cheeseburger and chips. Cindy booked me offline all day again. It was really nice. I was checking facebook a couple of days ago and in my status field had written that I was unhappy about my crummy July shift, working until 12am sucks! My friend Sari seen it and offered to give me rides home, she lives around the corner from me. She's off on Thursdays and Fridays, so I'll have to cab those days, but cabbing 2 days instead of 5 is great! I hardly see her anymore because we work for different gas companies, I'm terasen and she's source gas. I've decided to take Drivers Education a soon as they are offering weekend classes. I am really sick and tired of working shift work and having to depend on the really crummy bus system. Yesterday Sam and I went to Regent mall so that I could pick up some new tops (apparently he doesn't think I have enough sexy tops). I bought two new ones, one that he really likes and one that I really like, but he thinks both are sexy. I bought him two new dress shirts as well. Then we went and got some groceries. I called Alica and invited her and John over for drinks, John wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like leaving home, so they invited us over. Sam and I walked up to the liquer store and later on Alicia came and picked us up. We warmed up on some game called Mario Lego (for the Wii) and later we all played rock band. It's alot of fun. Sam and I called a cab shortly before 2am and it finally arrived alittle after. We had alot of fun. It was nice to stay in and drink instead of going out. (and cheaper). This week is a four day week, because I have Canada day off. I asked my supervisor if I would be able to start at 3:45pm instead of 3:30pm (just take 5mins off my 2 breaks and lunch to make up for it) so that I can take the 3 o'clock bus instead of the 1 o'clock bus (and be there 2hrs early). She said that was a reasonable request and to send her an email (that she would forward to staffing). I emailed her and she never sent me anything advising me it was approved or not, so I'm assuming it was and will take the 3 o'clock bus. Hopefully it's only for July (crummy shifts). The more skills a person learns the crummier the shifts get (or so it seems). When I was just billing, I never worked past 10pm and could always catch the bus. But when I got collections trained, my shifts started to really suck! People who have billing, collections and emergency have even crummier shifts. It really doesn't make a person want to learn. I get bored, so I like to learn new thing, but it's not really benifitting me that much. At least the shift premium will pay for my cabs for the two or three nights I'll need to take one. (7-12am is an extra $1 an hr=5$ extra). Sam stopped over Mikes yesterday to see a friend of his and Donna (the kitchen manager who initially wanted him and worked to get him back when he had left to return to the Hilltop told him to come see her some time next week). She is probably going to try and get him back. The manager that fired him is gone now. I told him to be careful, he was fired to easily and it doesn't speak well for a company when they just fire and hire whoever they please.
