how boring

my sleeping pattern was totally messed up last night. i stayed up until 2 chatting with emma, then i couldn’t sleep and had to drink half a cup of wine to relax. then i woke up at 7:25, 7:30 and 7:35 according to my alarm clock so i can register for my courses at 7:45. i got all the courses i wanted. then i slept until noon.

so here is an update about LYFE. because life is just so hard. ha! i am not going to the optometry place to work for them like a slave for free, so i will reject them sometime before thursday. i will apply to kumon, which is an after-school tutorial centre for kids and i’ll probably be marking worksheets and helping them with their mistakes. my friend will refer me, and hopefully they’ll hire me :) i will work mornings at stupidstore because after the optometry biatch interview, i realized i am treated pretty well at superstore by my seniors and colleagues. and i should try to make peace with the fugly puke-green uniforms (IT’S NOT A PRETTY COLOR AUGUSTO, NOT PRETTY!!!)

i have the rest of the week off. i am going to watch eternal sunshine of the spotless mind after i finish typing this entry. then at night i am going to my friend’s birthday party at au bar.

i realize i’ve been stressing too much about the big picture, sometimes it’s enough to know what you’re going to do next *. and i am going to sit down, and enjoy a proper movie.

*from the novel undomestic goddess by sophie kinsella

random ichc that i laughed out loud at

the receptionist interview

well, that’s basically how i felt about the private optometry clinic manager. the lady was very patronizing, and said training would be three months to half a year. not that i don’t want to wait that long for a raise, but her whole attitude just made me feel like she didn’t want me there (because i was not smrt enough).

however, they did call back asking me to come in again for a “working interview”. i am going for two hours to show them i can actually handle and count cash, and possibly will have the glorious duty of filing in alphanumerical order. goody!

people in the medical profession need to loosen up sometimes, seriously. she wasn’t even the frickin DOCTOR and was all, the vocabulary takes a long time to learn. BAH!

i should just work at Banana Republic, they seem friendlier and not all stick-up-the-ass.

i hope she doesn’t facebook me… i am pretty sure i set my profile to private… gahh facebook is evil! now i think about what i shouldn’t write on here… but i write it anyway. har.

young’ns

so the other day i receive an email from someone named noah about wanting to buy my ipod touch. i answered it like all the other inquiries about the damn thing, and he seemed genuinely interested so i gave him my number. the funny thing is, throughout our short four-email conversation, i was sure i saw that he couldn’t spell the word “sure”, instead he added an H, making it shure.

so naturally i facebooked him. his school seems to be some high school in surrey, so i figured, whatever, at least he’s not some creepy 40 year old with an addiction to hentai and a taste for innocent young asian girls, so i forgave him for such an error. the next day some guy with the same last named called, turns out to be his father, so i answered his questions and he agreed to meet me at 9am today.

when they came to the door, i looked through the satin curtains of my door and realized that the kid is like IN 9TH GRADE. a scrawny little white kid in baggy clothes, eyeing his soon-to-be ipod touch like it’s red, tender meat and he hasn’t eaten in days. i was almost going to pat his head and go, “aww, so cute” but then i realized that was not appropriate, and he’s probably just really small for his age.

then oscar goes, holy shit, how does such a little kid know how to browse craigslist and email you, and i was all, kids are so damn smart these days.

this post makes me feel like ancient fossil.

pikapika the movie! so cute. i love the dancing flowers and the horse carriage :love:

the best of doing nothing

AUGGIE IZ HERES. IN VANCOUVERS. i went downtown to shop but didn’t see him.. poop. i think alexis is taking him out this week…? i dunnos. i has to give him his hatz. auggie needs his hatz from parees.

not doing much today. lolcatting then going to workz.

ichc makez you talks funnnys :D

KNIFE. NOW.

why i should not eat crispy chicken (or anything) from mcdonalds:
because alex said they come in the shape of llamas and fish

why i should not work 8 hours at superstore:
because if i had been anywhere near the X-acto knife i would’ve locked the gates up AND CUT. EVERYONE. VIOLENTLY.

why you should not ask me if we have any wii, wii fit, or when it will come in, or if i can take a raincheck:
because we are sold out, i don’t know when we get it in because nintendo just sends it to us, AND BECAUSE IT IS BACK-ORDERED EVERYWHERE, AND YOU SEE THE SIGN? IT SAYS OUT OF STOCK. OUT OF STOCK. WHERE IS MY X-ACTO KNIFE. !!!!!!!

why you should always line up when you see a LINE forming for a service/to pay:
see X-acto knife warning.

why you should not throw your cash or credit card at people helping you:
X. ACTO. KNIFE.

i am usually patient… but this job is really testing me. the rate of dumbasses increase by almost 600% from week day to weekend, i can prove it statistically if i actually kept a log.
