 I've once again decided to be Posty Posterson. or, at least, i'm going to try and keep my life updated on lj.

or something along those lines.

I have this friday off!! and I'm totally going to indulge in my Sushi Addiction!!! Seriously, I was totally craving it yesterday, when I saw my coworker get some for lunch. (dynamite rolls, iirc, even though thats not what I want. GIVE ME TUNA & SALMON SUSHI OR GIVE ME DEATH!!! well, not death, just sushi...)

So, i'm looking forward to that.

really, really looking forward to eating sushi. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......


Ok, what else? I was supposed to go out with [livejournal.com profile] skullycat  & [livejournal.com profile] goldenrockstar last night for coffee, but Karen bailed since her fiancee is finally back in town. I'm not complaining about not going out, cuz that means i got to watch NCIS and Lost!!! (i'm so happy that tv is back, btw).

NCIS )

not that my happiness is linked to this show or whatever...


LOST )

I'm excited. shit is going to down soon! or something.

In Other News, My Person (Sarah) and I have decided on my Work Crush. Not the one that lives on the other side of Canada (who one day I will eventually meet, i think, maybe, if the worlds align, and he'll fall in love with me, and we'll live happily ever after, or smth, even though i've only talked to him twice, but his name fits my list, so, we'll see. I'm hoping he's a Tall-y. A broad Tall-y. I like tall guys, ok?). The one in our office. We both appreciate his looks and he's got a nice voice, and I see him walk by a lot, and she has HER work crush, and I wasn't overly fond of the one she picked out for me before, so.... yes. Oliver (i love that name too, btw), is my newly acquired Work Crush. I don't think i'll turn red whenever he talks to me, like Sarah does when Her Work Crush talks to her, but... yeah.

Ok, so pretty much every morning when I get into work, the first thing I do is I get coffee for Sarah and I, and i take the two cups of coffee and i walk to her desk to drop hers off (i'm a good friend). I saw Oliver this morning as we passed by each other, and he commented on my two cups of coffee, and i swore that they weren't BOTH for me (ppl sometimes comment on my coffee addiction in the morning, but the other cup is for SARAH, Dammit!) so i drop off the coffee, and then she's all, oh we're going on a break now, so i went with them, and on our way to the elevator, we see Oliver again, and i pointed out VERY CLEARLY that I had ONE cup and Sarah had the OTHER. So the three of us had a chuckle, and he went down the stairs and Sarah and I went to the elevator, and she was all, ooh, yeah, he's good looking. and i TOTALLY concurred, so we decided right then and there that he was my work crush, cuz, lets face it, he kinda already is.

man, love (or something) is in the air. or its in my system. lol.

I've been having weird, geeky dreams lately. I had one about BSG and us being cylons maybe. That was geeky. And now this one.

I blame it on [livejournal.com profile] skullycat cuz she's been making me play WoW. I was with her and Kaeda, and we were in this house... and we would somehow... i guess level up everytime we got to a different floor or something. And then Bee and Steve and Steve's friend Andrew were there, and they got kind of excited cuz me and Karen and Kaeda had magic or something, and someone started yelling excitedly, and me and Karen and Bee got all mad because Kaeda was sleeping.

But yeah, it was something like that.


I missed dinner with my dad last night because I was working late. Then i was kind of angry that i missed dinner, so me and a girl from work (Diana) got White Spot for dinner. Its like comfort food. and then I took her home and called Mares, and she was still at Dad's, but it was almost 9pm and thats the time we usually leave anyway, so i went home and played the sims.

And I think tonight me and Mares might watch some True Blood as well. Its an entertaining show... from what i've seen. and I totally love Bill. I love everyone. Its a good show if you like vamps. =D
tater_mae: (Default)
So 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, [profile] 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.

 So.

On Tuesday i had dinner with  [profile] jamiesona at White Spot. It was nice and fun to catch up. He paid, which was totally unexpected, but very much appreciated. We decided that the nickname Moo is going to make a comeback. So we'll see how that goes.

We made plans to hang out on Saturday - he said that a few of the guys were going to see The Dark Knight and I should come too. So we're going to the Imax showing at 7pm, since I work until 4 at the casino. 

Sunday i work again at the Casino until 4, so that should be interesting, kinda. It'll get awful lonely when I'm not training anymore. 

Trying to make plans with [profile] skullycat  in the near future. Haven't seen her since i got back from comic con, so its been a couple weeks. 

i'm still obsessing about Iron Man. That's not going to change for a while. I can't wait until the end of September. I don't care how much the DVD costs, I'm going to buy it THAT DAY. and then shortly after that, I will introduce [profile] skullycat to the magnifigance that is Tony Stark.  

I will not be denied. 

and neither will Tony.

what else? 

[profile] kepp0xy and I need to make some plans to watch more Doctor Who. We got through the first ep with Martha. Still don't know how i feel about her though, because I miss Rose.  as a sidenote, i luff mickey and jake. they are just so full of awesome, especially in my head. 

i think that's it for now.
tater_mae: (Default)
 Been working like a crazy person lately. got the job at the casino gift shop thanks to  [profile] isaysquee. Had to work for RBA on saturday (but w00t to 4 hours overtime!!).  so i didn't really get a weekend, but that's all good. 

spent saturday night/sun morning with [profile] kepp0xy. Watched an ep of season/series 3 with her (the first one) then we watched Iron Man. 

and seriously. I cannot wait until Sept to buy it. Sept... 30 i think? i dunno. but holy crap, Tony Stark is sex on legs. There is just something about those kinds of guys that are so freakin hot. and sexy. and just delicious. he's so cute and he gets all soft-voicey with Pepper so that makes me melt and his arms are so nice and he's so cute and i want to die from his hotness. 

anyway. 

yes. um. what else? 

tonight i have dinner plans with [profile] jamiesona. so that's nice. I've got a present for him, so that's cool. 

I'm going through a whole Iron Man phase right now, so just be warned. tony stark is my newest obsession. (totally man of my dreams type of guy)

Also? Love Pepper.

Quick post!

Quick fly by update!


-Currently working at Ritchie Bros full time. Finally on payroll (i think). not a bad gig, to be honest.

-had dinner at Dad's last night. Played Wii. Mucho Fun (I love bowling like you wouldn't believe!!)

-Hung out with 

[profile] skullycat and Kaeda on Sunday. Gots lots/nothing done. Good Times. I say lots/nothing because it was quite a bit, even if it doesn't feel like it. We have to go through EVERYTHING all over again. you may be wondering what I'm talking about. Me and Kookie had this crazy fictional world back in highschool (OMG 5 years ago!!). So we're just... revamping (and that's funny cuz we had vampires). But its like a major overhaul and we're seriously reorganizing everything and starting from the beginning again. and dear lord, its a lot of work. but fun. and yet soul-crushing at the same time. But good. cuz omg!yay our characters/world/etc are back and they're going to be better than ever.

-spent friday evening/sat morning with  [profile] kepp0xy. Again, we Doctor Who'd our way through the night, with an hour-ish break (actually, i think it was more) as we went walking and talked and gots snack food. I have to admit, David Tennant is growing on me. I love Chris (he's my #1!!!) but since David is the same character, just different, I love him too. He could grow on me more though. Who knows. 

-haven't seen  [profile] iheartkeys in a while. pretty sure she's still alive though. 

i think that's everything so far. Linka's in town (one of my Mom's cousins. She lives in Costa Rica), so we're gonna visit with her next week, methinks. other than that, i don't have anything new to say.

but OMG COMIC CON IS SO CLOSE! I AM NEAR PANICKING! THIS IS AWESOME!!

 Sometimes I lose faith in humanity. Just a little. 

Or rather, I have a bad experience with a person, and my faith in them is shot. 

But then someone comes and repairs the damage. 

Like now. Like just now.

So Art - my all time Fave Dispatcher (who no longer works here :( and i miss him) has awesome Drivers. 

Ned was always my favourite out of his group. 

So yesterday, I'm at work at 730 am and maybe 15 mins later Ned comes in to pick up his paycheque. He asks me if I'm going to Cloverdale. I say no, i'm still looking. He tells me he'll keep his eyes open for me.

He's a sweet man. 

Just now, he comes in, and gives me an application form for Gateway Casino. He says his wife works there as a hostess and they're looking for a receptionist RIGHT NOW. 

So he gives me this application form, and then tells me how to get there from here. 

I think its funny how some people you consider friends can really make you feel shitty (and goes to show you that maybe they're not the most reliable friend after all and you should really re-think some things), and almost strangers can make your day.

Oi...

Well, this is definitely the year for change. 

I'm trying to find a new job. I went for an interview today. I think it went well, but the place gives me weird vibes. So even if they DO offer me a job, I don't think i'll take it. I also have an interview on Thursday with another company. This is the job i DO want. so here's hoping I do well! *crosses fingers*

i'm sending my resignation letter today to that place i really really REALLY don't like. Shit is hitting the fan and i'm finally trying to get the fuck outta dodge. Its been a long time coming. 

I saw Indiana Jones #4 for the 3rd time last night with [profile] goldenrockstar and [profile] jamiesona. good times. i think i have to see it once more with [profile] iheartkeys. no big loss. Its Indy. (I'm going to marry him!!)

Went to the Buck friday AND saturday night. Friday was for Steve's birthday. Didn't get drunk cuz i had to work at the Place I Hate the next day. But i bought him a pitcher and had a couple drinks and all was good. Saturday i worked, bought one of the girls at Starbucks some flashcards cuz I get a better price for them (for now), so she gave me a coupon for a free coffee and will pay me back on saturday. Saturday night i went to the Buck with my sister, [profile] aluminiumdonut, Josie, some of the Chapters Crew, and some people i don't know. Steve and Smugly showed up, which was nice.  Around 130 me and Donut left (it was really loud), so we went to Timmy's for some donuts and hot chocolate, and waited for Mares to call me. Good times. ILU DONUT!!! 

yesterday... i was lazy. had brekkie with the sis at IHOP, dropped her off at work, played the sims, took a shower, played the sims, saw a movie, played the sims... (notice a theme?)

OMG!! THE SIMS!!! Jester died!!! I've never played one family long enough to have someone die!! it was sad!!! they keep crying!!! and Boomer's next - he's the only other 'elder' i have. Pandemonium and Orion had another baby boy - Determination. If she wants one more, the kid's name is gonna be Perseverance. Cuz that's just how I roll. Will is now a teenager, Vanity and Modesty are adults... I think thats about it. 

But yes. Things keep changing. its different.

i hope my Narnia movie comes soon!!

Friday was pretty good. 

Watched some Wolf Lake (cuz i own it on DVD now!!!) and waited for Kerry to call. Then went over to his place, ate pizza, drank wine (and had some asiago cheese afterwards), and just chilled. It was wonderful. We were both tired so then i went home and chilled with my sis for a bit before going to bed. 

Woke up, called chapters because i wasn't feeling well (or something) and went back to sleep. was going to go with the Sis to get her tattoo finished, but rescheduling had to be done. I think we ended up watching the Smurfs. She went out with Josie and I waited to go to White Rock to hang out with my beloved [profile] kepp0xy

Mimi called before i went out and we had a nice chat, then Mares came home and i gave her the phone and was off! 

Went to Timmy Ho's to wait for Kelly. Then she appeared! and we went to White Spot cuz we were hungy for salad and it was close! There was much talk of Twilight (12.12.08). Then after dinner (which she paid for) we went for a walk around the dyke and there was much talk of boys, life, and other good stuffs! Then it was time to watch WONDERFALLS

We watched a couple of eps, went for a 2AM junk food run (in which we were stalked by stoners, sorta) and went to finish the disc. And then it was 430 AM and i was falling asleep and we called it a night. Keps was adamant that i text her when i got home, so i did. 

sunday was probably the laziest day ever. Woke up at around 10, went with Mares to get her nails filled (with Josie), picked up some 'brunch' from save on, ate on the balcony, took a long nap, woke up at about... 6pm, played on the internet, watched American Dreamz with Mares, went to bed. 

seriously lazy. i love it.

And apparently i might have a part-time job interview set up soon! Eva (one of my dispatchers at my grown up job) has a friend who manages the Big River Brew Pub and is desperate for workers. I might not even have to quit chapters if i schedule right. 

I could put my availability for BR as friday and saturday nights. or smething. I dunno. I'll have to think about how to work my schedule around. I could always just change my availability at Chapters too, and only work one shift a week. thursday nights? i think i'll keep sundays open, since i'll need to rest if i'm going to be working 3 jobs, even if 2 of them are part time.
tater_mae: (Default)
 Right now, i really appreciate my co-workers. 

About an hour and a half ago, i was taken out to lunch by two of the women i work with. (We got sushi at this place where the food is pretty good, but the service is crazy slow). 

I found out that two of my bosses wanted them to take me out to 'keep my spirits up'. I thought that it was a really kind gesture. 

I got paid in full for the three weeks i wasn't here. They sent flowers twice. A couple of co-workers showed up at the gathering. They are making sure that if there's anything they can do to help to let them know. 

my work place is really quite amazing. 

(i wasn't sure how to bring up the subject of vacation, seeing as i've just taken three weeks off and wasn't sure if i was really still entitled to it, even considering the situation, when they mentioned Australia. Unfortunetly, Australia is a bust, but i did not-so-subtley say something about Comic Con in July. So i'm thinking that i get at least a week off, and thats when i plan to take it.)


I think i'll go back to chapters after my birthday. I don't want to say that i'll come back now only to have to book off my birthday and it be a hassle and everything. I'll just wait for a couple weeks. But i do plan to go back. (even if they didn't send flowers or a card or anything. Its not that i overly care seeing as we got tons of flowers and cards, but both my sister's work and my work sent flowers. i mean, i know that i'm a part time employee at chapters, but still. i just thought it was funny that chapters didn't send anything. it just makes me think less and less of the fucktards that are in charge. Not Steven though. I got a hug from him, and i'm allowed one more. There was a card from FRIENDS at Chapters, not the store itself. God, if i didn't love some of the people there so much, i'd probably be outta there by now. the store itself going downhill. but this isn't a post about how much i dislike chapters. its a post about how much i like my other co-workers right now. but i do love my friends at chapters. they're the only part of that place that makes it worthwhile being there.)

wow, way to go off on a tangent there, tater. 

last night mares and i had dinner with Dad (greek takeout! yum!!) and stayed there until about 830. We got home and talked to Cousin Kim for a bit, then i waited for kieran to call me as i played on the internet - i've been going through a... well, i bought Seasons 1 & 2 of Veronica Mars (partly because of the Logan/Veronica aspect), then i went through this crazy Smallville Lois/Clark thing (i hunted for clips and vids on youtube) for some unknown reason as i don't even watch the show, and then i went on a hunt for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles icons and clips on youtube. (seriously, that whole cast frakkin rocks.)

(and if i could just ask everyone and anyone to keep an eye out for any kind of icon with Sarah and John and the text "I'll Always Find You" for me, that would be much appreciated. I loved that scene so much.)

ANYWAY, around... 1030? ish? kieran calls and i take him back to his place from the mall as he just finished helping his brother move, and he had to pick up the gifts he got me. He got me two purses - the big ones that can hold everything and anything. I recently bought a purse that was the complete opposite of that, since i wanted something small. that same day, he texted me telling me that he got me a big purse. but for some reason he thought that my favourite movie was The Nightmare Before Christmas and got me a purse with Jack Skellington on it. I think i've seen it... maybe once? years and years ago? but its a nice bag and its big. and Jack is cool. But he also got me this other one (which today i discovered my friend Megan has too!) and its so adorable! 

But right now i'm going to stick with my little bag. I got it for a reason, and i quite like it. 

besides, the only thing i wanted from him was a postcard, which he forgot at his house when he was giving me the purses he bought. sometimes he's such a tard.

But we went to blendz and he got a hot chocolate and i got a tea and we hung out in my car in the parking lot for a couple hours. i got a back massage in the end, and that was really nice. i don't usually think of myself as a tense person, but apparently i always have been. 
still, it was nice having him around so i could pick on him and slap him around and generally take my mind off of things. He's a good distraction because he's stupid and i get to threaten him (last night i was threatening him with my hot tea by tipping it every so slightly directly over his lap. it was fun). 

still. I'm surrounded by wonderfully supportive people, and i don't know what i've done to deserve such great friends.

*le pout*

I wish work was the same as school sometimes. 

why can't work places have snow days? That would be so nice. 

The boyfriend texted me shortly after i woke up this morning to tell me that his bosses called to tell him not to go to work today. Then he said something like, you're not going into work today, are you? 

so i replied shortly after - i had to take a look outside and had a brief chat with my sis - to tell him that not all of us were as lucky as him.

and now i'm going to be slightly pouty all day knowing that at least two out the three important people in my life (who are not related to me) get to stay home today. (

[profile] iheartkeys, i'm totally thinking you get to stay home today.)

 

 

HAH!

I just saw how much i got paid from Chapters.

sorry. not how much. how little. 

...

i might need another part time job. this is ridiculous. I'll stay at Chapters.... but seriously. 

I wonder if Daniel can get me a job at the liquor store when he comes back home...

tater_mae: (Default)

Ok. I will admit to having a rather... dedicated personality. 

So what if I've seen Harry Potter three times?
(Once with my mom, once with main group of friends, and once with work-friends - IMAX BABY!!).

So what if tomorrow i'll be seeing Hairspray for the third time? So what if i rented High School Musical AND the original Hairspray? So what if i got the new Hairspray soundtrack on my iPod a day after i saw the movie and it's pretty much the only thing i listen to?

Its called DEDICATION people! I'm a dedicated fan! 

last week i rented BOTH Terminators so i could fully understand the Sarah Connor Chronicles that's coming out this fall
(and you should all watch) !

It's not easy! This is hard work, and i spend a fair amount of money doing this! 

It take endurance! determination! force of will! 

If being a dedicated fan was a job, i'd be making millions!
 

--------------------------------

On Saturday night, i saw Kerry! 

First off, my day was pretty chill. after waking up around 11am (because i had an awesome night on Friday! Thanks Kyle!!!!!) i was hungry and my sis asked if we should have muffins or pancakes with our bacon and eggs. I said muffins, so she had to decide which kind she wanted to make. I watched Terminator 2 as she cooked, and we had planned on cleaning that day. So we did a little bit of cleaning, then got distracted by S2 of the X-Files. So we watched a couple of those, and I went off to do some errands, and I came back, and we went to dinner at Earls, and we watched another ep of the X-Files when Kerry msgs me to tell me he's back in town and would i like to hang.

So OF COURSE i say YES because its KERRY and he lives in Peachland and we rarely get to see each other anymore!

So we go to the Foggy Dew and he buys us a few rounds of drinks, and we talk about life and what's been happening with us and my (lack of) love life and his love life and everything. So after drinks we go to his buddy Craig's house and we hang out there a while, and then its like 1am and we decide its late and should go home. But yeah, i love Love LOVE hanging out with Kerry. He's such an interesting person and i love the way he loves life and he's such a gentleman and i always wish the best for him. 

We both agreed that we didn't like keeping up with each other on msn since it made hanging out so much better. I love talking to Kerry face to face. He's the kind of friend that we can see each other after months of NOT seeing each other and we just pick up where we left off. Which is kind of funny since Lindsey is like that too and she lives in Kelowna. 

----------------------

Oh, sunday...



but yes. that's all for now. i might post in a few days time to once again say how awesome Hairspray was.

I'm declaring myself a Paper Princess.

I got the idea from my sister, who is the Parts Princess at IBM (she's the only girl working in the parts department. It's her and the Mutey Boys. and her boss. and Mutey Boys as in they don't talk. Mute. the Mutey Boys. Mutie? Mutey? erm...)

But Yes. I'm going to be a Paper Princess. actually, i lied. Part of the idea was from my sister. the other part was from Ivan (one of my bosses, who is so cool). He called me a princess today. *hee*

AND!!! And i get a cookie tomorrow, for being awesome! Well, I did something that was good, and he was all, i'll bring you a cookie tomorrow!

That's what Ivan does. He gives out cookies. Well, that's not his job, but he does give out cookies too, for fun. He's such a nice guy.

But yes. I am a Paper Princess. aka Receptionist.

Oh My God. the paper i have to deal with at my office. It's insane. But i did kind of slack off today and was more on the internet than doing work. But i was bored and stuff. I'll be better tomorrow. Maybe.

I also had a semi-fight with my beloved [profile] alangrace. I sort of tried to break up with him since i ruined our movie date, but he would have none of it. So i'm loved. *hugs alan*

but yes.

I have to watch Standoff soon, since i'm getting sleeeeeeeeeeeeepy. and i must watch it tonight! or something! I don't want to wait!

[personal profile] phrenitis!!! I miss squeeing about Standoff with you!!!!!!!!!!!!

but anyway... yes.

I haven't updated in a while, and there are memes i was tagged to do, but i haven't had the time, and my lappy is still broken and that makes me sad. but maybe at a later date i will make a big meme post or something!

but yes.

spent some quality time with my [profile] victee the other day. Missed her so much, OMG. luff you sweetie!

anyway....

g'night y'all!

~kisses

and a pretender icon for shits and giggles. and the 2 pretender movies are coming out next year on dvd. *glees like a rabid fangirl*
