tater_maeSo yesterday I phone my boss at the Casino to remind him that I'm going to the interior for my cousin's birthday. Obviously, he forgot, and said he'd call me back.
which he does a little while later.
He tells me because I phoned in late on sunday sick and that I'm going away this weekend... its not really working out and he'll have to let me go. I agree, say thanks, and we hang up.
I don't think i've ever been more relieved in my life.
So then i'm presented with a dilemma. My hours at Ritchie Bros are going to be cut down soon, so I'll have to find another part time job (that's not that Hell Hole I used to work at).
So i go to lunch with the girls from work (Mieke {pronounced MEE-ka}, Diana, and Lisa). Mieke then tells us over sushi that she's accepting another job with the gov't. We're kind of upset, but hello, its with The Gov't of Canada. This is awesome for her, because if you can get a job with the gov't, you take it. Plus, she applied for this job a year ago, before she started working for RBA, and the interview process was so intense, she really can't NOT take it.
So we're happy for her.
And then it was decided that I would take over for her. That's full time hours and Benefits, baby.
Things happen for a reason.
RBA (Ritchie Bros Auctioneers) is a great company. There's a BBQ today (i know, its raining, AGAIN.), and next week there's hot dog day, and this friday my department (A/R... yes i know, its accounting. Why? WHY??) is having a Pow Wow because we just got a new person and now I'm taking over for Mieke and blah blah blah. But its awesome.
Also? Part of my geekiness,aluminiumdonut texts me yesterday to say that our man tony stark is on the cover of the Rogers video thingy. So i'll have to pick that up today or smth. cuz... It's Iron Man. Marvels version of Batman (in a way). its no wonder i love him so much.
I'm totally looking forward to spending a couple days in Midway with the Fam. Haven't seen them since... May long weekend? I think? Its been a little while, and its always fun to hang. My family is awesome.
Now its time to get back to work. but i'm pretty happy right now.

Date: 2008-08-28 07:32 pm (UTC)I was thinking about quitting the casino anyway. it wasn't really my thing. (and? i'm so tired of retail. i don't want to sell things anymore. not like that.)
ITS TONY. how could i not get one? RDJ FTFW. i seriously cannot wait until the 30th of Sept. Its going to be a good day for me. Cuz me and Tony and Pepper and Rhodey will be going home together. and that thought makes me a bit tingly. =P
