My week was good and I did not get sent home early any day last week or this week...it will be nice to have a full 80 hour pay period. BTW Susan it was great to receive a comment, keep them coming :) I went driving this morning from 11:30am -1:30pm. It was nice we did alot of turning. We went to some quiet residential area in New Maryland and just did alot of turns. He said that I make the turns alittle to drastic and quick...I guess I need to believe the car will turn, but when it doesn't start to turn when I want it to I get worried, therefore turning to abruptly. I still have lots more driving time so I'm sure I'll improve. At the end of the driving time I wanted to get dropped off at the Fredericton mall instead of home (so I could get some lunch) and I did have to turn onto Prospect street and drive along that busy street for awhile, I think I did just fine. Last week Monica had called Sam and told him she didn't think it was working out and not to come back to work. Sam was shocked because she had led him to believe he was doing well and would be supervisor in a couple of weeks, but on his day off (Monday) called him and told him that! So he went out later that afternoon and handed out some resumes. Tuesday or Wednesday he got a call from his friend Steve (they had worked together at the Hilltop and Mikes) and he offered him a job. We went there last night for a late lunch. I had won $20 on a scratch ticket and $4 on another one, so I treated us out. He started today at 12pm. Later on tonight we are going to a party that my friend Victoria is having. She gave me her address and phone #, but I threw it out while I was cleaning my dresser off. I think I remember her address (not her ph #), but I'll call Alicia to make sure it's right before we go over. Alicia and I where making plans for today (emailing each other back and forth) but when Victoria invited us to the party, we decided that would be easier/cheaper. I have been painting the floor in sections because it takes more than 4 hours to dry since I'm putting the first coat on a little thicker. So far I have alittle over half done. While Sam and I were out Friday I bought another can of the Stoncoat (on sale for $10 less) and some clear coat protector just to make sure it stays on well without chipping. (and easier to clean) I did a section right before I went to bed, so it could dry overnight and I wouldn't have to worry about anyone walking on it. Well....lets just say Gizmo had something else in mind....I woke up and there were paw prints all over it! Not enough to wreck the coat altogether, but its a good thing we're doing a second coat to say the least. It gets me worried though because the paint gets on the bottom of her paws and she licks it off (she won't let me wipe it off cause she's weird about people touching her paws). I hope she doesn't get sick. I did my best to get some of it off last night.
I also got my spot in the shift bid. I am number 3 out of 5. My friend Joanne is number 1 and she already told me she is taking the 11am-7pm shift which there is only one available, then there are 2 shifts for 12:30-11pm (Mon-Thurs). So she gets the 11-7pm and even if number 2 wants 12:30-11pm, I will still get it as well. Numbers 4 and 5 get the 3-12am. I think I will be able to get it adjusted so that I can take the bus both ways and it is the same shift I'm working this mth! (11:4am-10:15pm), they adjusted my friends schedule a full hour so that she can take the bus, so 45mins shouldn't be a problem, I really like working four days on and three days off, it's nice. Gotta run.....:)
