You have to love how life throws curve balls at you. One moment you're attempting to glide peacefully along, the next you are slam dunked by a basketball to swing wildly like a weevle......
Take this week for instance: yesterday was peachyriffical! until approx 8:10pm.. from there things went down hill quite quickly....... my weeble was wobbled..
At work today I just wanted to act floppy and not be happy, but because one of my co-workers friends just quit life (he committed suicide last night), her ex-husband is moving and wants to take her back to court for custody of the kids, and her grampa died yesterday, I decided that she prolly had it a lot worse than me and that I would just wait until I got home to have my pity party.
So I had a slight fit, ate my french fries, coughed one up on my book, cried because I was not having a good go of things and my mom was trying to make conversation while i was trying to read my book, and no for the third time I do not want a Cinnamon roll because I am too full.
I figured things had calmed down a bit but then i got in a fight with the dishwasher and now i have a large bruise that is not only large but raised on my shin, for those of you concerned, the dishwasher is fine.
after fighting with the dishwasher I decided to take a bath, with a wicked case of the hickups that im sure some poor chinaman heared, I am attempting to cut my bath bomb in half. After some assistance of my father, a meat cleaver, and some well aimed Karate chop noises, the bath ball splits and I head for the tub.
I named the bath Honey Bee Good and Float Away (because all men should take a hint every once and a while [mix one honey bee bath bomb with a marzibain bubble bar and a floating island luxury bath melt, and read your book.])(they have this new make up a name for your bath cocktail at work so im trying my hand at it....) The bath went ok, so I figured that life must be getting better, plus I got to use my new Snow Cake Soap so I figured that I would be ok, and although my bruise looks bigger after shaving my legs, I figured whats one battle scar among others, and left the dishwasher to its own devices.
Then I sat in my dads new electric reclining leather chair, and read my book....
So there I am floating on the high seas with Jacky.. When BAM
Gary my little brother rolls in from work and tells me that I should apply for the management position opening up at the store where he works (and has worked for a whole week now) because the manager there now is leaving, and the guy taking her place is a right dummie and Gary thinks I should do it because everyone is leaving because no one likes this guy who is moving up to be manager...
bla bla bla
Honey was bad and floated back
all of my relaxation was suddenly gone and
BOOM
Im trying to franticly get straight answers and see if i want to apply for a full time job that will pay approx 32,000 a year give me a position with better hours ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect
(being as its getting late and ive been up since quarter to seven my brain is already asleep and not likeing the prospect of waking up, im having to do this brainless and my poor mouth is hanging open slightly)
After finally waking up enough and thinking... which i must admit was QUITE hard, :p I have come to the conclusion that:
IF the guy is that bad, the position for assistant manager (because there is no one to fill that space for now) will possibly still be open. For that reason I am going to stick with what im doing now and hope that possibly they will be desperate enought to take me when my temp position at where i currently work is done...
It was nice to come to a conclusion, after Gary tried to show me a chart of who was leaving and who would probably be staying, I grew slightly concerned, for this looked complicated. I am happy to say that I understand and shall contemplate it for the future!!!
but I can still see that 32,000 floating by with my car....
Sigh

Frustermerated!!!!!!!
I am officially Frustermerated with some people
people who
Make plans with people MONTHS in advance, and then inform the other person that they are going out of town so suddenly they are going to the thing by themselves
People who dont hold the door for the people behind them
People who wont try new things because they are different or because of where they came from
(MY COOKING IS NOT THAT BAD!)
People who will talk trash about others and think nothing of it but when other people talk about them or get mad at them for it they are super offended.
People who think they are the ONLY PEOPLE DRIVING in SASKATOON, and CUT PEOPLE OFF!!!
People who think shopping in pj bottoms is appropriate.
People who sit and sulk/mope/act grumpy at social functions, and then just leave without telling the host/hostess goodbye.
People who make judgements based on a 5 second meeting and make no attempt to get to know the person further, they just base their whole assumption of the person on a greeting...
and furthermore, People who think it is their right to be nice to you some days, and drop you like a hot potatoe the next simply becasue you are
a)hormonal
b)just not having a very good day
or c)because there is nothing going on in your life that is gossiplike and/ or interesting so... Who cares about you?
I am just about sick of people in general who treat others like dirt and toss them around like a rag doll...
For anyone who hasnt noticed i am having a bad week and i am NOT in a good mood at this particular moment in my life.
I am open to hugs ect ect ect
be warned, I do bite, so dont tick me off, because i will yell and get mad, possibly bite you, then cry, say im sorry, have a heart to heart or something like that and give you a hug...
Im just frustrated and confused about people, and thier stupidness, and their meanieness.. and if i misunderstand you then forgive me... but i am not having a nice time trying to interpret things, and im confused enough about life as it is.. so any assistance and i would be muchly muchly happyier...
for now.. i am going to go cry and try to once again, figure out life...
im just not having a good time of it at this particular moment is all... and ive been mad for almost 24 hours now, so obviously i am not impressed... and VERY confuzzeled...

The bus
Because I do not own a vehicular object at this present moment in time I have to take the bus. Now, other than the fact that the Saskatoon transit system is
1)Very rarely running right on schedual
2)Takes FOREVER to get where you need to go
and
3)Is filled with people who are incredibly interesting and need a bath, that always seem to target the seat right next to YOU.
its fine...
Really I complain about it, but It eventually gets me to point b, I work at lush so i just stick my nose in my scarf (thank god its getting colder) and breath in the scent of bath bombs while praying i wont PUKE from the smell (plus i get motion sick while drivin or riding on ANYTHING), (i have to take gravol whilst canoeing, sad I know)... and yeah the ride is long but at least i can chill listening to music while not having to pay attention to whats going on around me....
thats what i keep telling myself anyways...
Usually the bus ride is ok... on some days though it gets interesting.. Like the other night I got off of work at LUSH! and went to ketch the bus. I nearly burst into tears when i realized the bus was going to be another 45 minutes in arriving...
So I sat down on a bench closed my eyes and prayed my toes wouldnt freeze off before the bus came... whiltst sitting i overheard that the 50 the bus i needed to take was late... Halalujah! thank the lord! so i didnt have to wait too long.. but since i made a comment reguarding the fact that I didnt want to have to wait TOO terribly long because of the cold, both women waiting with me were delighted and i found myself with two women who were very chattery and I was their new bestest friend... (in Jesus name help my stop get here faster)... one nice thing.. they didnt smell and I just smiled and nodded while my music played... it worked wonderfully!
My most interesting bus ride yet went like the following...
I had waited for the bus Praying that it would not be early, when i arrived at the stop, I found that thank merciful heavens, it hadnt arrived yet.... So I waited for my bus..
When the bus arrived, I climbed aboard, showed my pass, and went to get a seat. NOW because I get motion sick i sit as CLOSE to the front as possible... an elderly woman who had climbed on the bus before me was also sitting on the three person bench that I was about to sit down on...
As i began to sit down the poor dear women cried out "oh dont squish my milk!"
....
I had seen the bag carrying a one liter carton of milk and had come to the conclusion that my bottom had more than enough space to sit on the bench and not squish her milk..... The poor dear women had other ideas and was horrified at the thought of her poor dear milk being sat upon. After assuring her i had seen the milk carton and had enough room to sit down, the woman shook her head and holding her carton like a baby in the crook of her arm, grinned at me and said, "its a good thing i told you not to sit down, that would have made a large mess!"
At this point I gave up all hope, and inserted my earplugs hoping to dispell any further conversation for the ride....
as the lady was leaving the bus at her stop she muttered something about milk when she got off the bus and gave one last grin at me...
Im sorry but Im pretty sure i would have noticed a COLD carton of milk (like Square?) and not sat down on it... im not the type of person who just keeps sitting down when i know something is wrong with the seat... ummm DUH!... anyways
So the poor dilusional milk lady got off the bus and i was sitting on the bench alone.
that lasted for roughly 2 seconds before a lady decided to move from a more crowded bench onto mine.
This i was fine with... until I noticed the green cloud that wafted behind her... Turn up music, and Cover nose with scarf...
at this point i began praying... my prayre went something like this:
"Dear lord, why do all the really weird people have to sit with me, why cant i just have like a really nice smart guy sit next to me or something... {my thoughts, God insert superman} instead of these really weird people....
after my short prayer we pulled up to the university bus terminal.
where my prayers were promptly answered...
have you ever noticed that if you dont get specific god is like hahahahahhahahahaha sure, here you go, this is what you asked for! God had a wicked sense of humor I tell you...
A guy got on and did sit next to me...
this guy obviously didnt ride the bus much because he had to ask what the fare was... then he sat down next to me,
now dont get me wrong here.. he was definatelly a good looking guy... about thirty years ago...
the guy was probably in his sixties, and had a head of grey hair...
ok so technically part one of my prayer is answered.. good looking guy who seems rather nice....
as i am contemplating this (the smelly lady, then the guy, then me with my earphones in, scarf over my nose, music turned up quite loud to prevent other people from talking to me) the guy pulls out an old book to read. I'm thinking ok this is kinda cool... old guy reading old book.. then he opens it and the rest of my prayer is answered... the guy is not only smart because the book is in another language ( like Russian or something Scandinavian like that), but as he is turning the pages I notice that there are something like Scientific or mathematic notations...
at this point I am killing myself with silent laughter at my situation...
My favorite part of the whole thing is the fact that the whole situation except for the milk part is really of my own making... well that and the fact that God has such an amazing way of answering our prayers.... :D
He truly is a wonder working God....

Still alive and kicking people
After staying home for almost 2 months not working a job, I have finally gotten back into the wonderful working force..... That is the excuse that I have for not writing in a little over a month. Before I go into any stories or other blog writings that I had in mind, I thought I would update all 1 and a half readers of mine that I am alive, as well as tell you how things are going...
First off,
My mother arrived home from PEI (visiting her parents) safe and sound. I took a few days after she arrived home to make sure that she was well settled and situated at home to go job hunting
TRANSLATION: not twentyfour hours after she arrived home I went gallavanting off to Medicine hat with my most bestedest friend in the world,to share thanksgiving with one of the most definatly coolest families in the world.
ANYWAYS!
So after a superduperiffical weekend in Alberta, I came home with the prospect of job hunting.
Now, I may seem outgoing, blablablablablabla.... whatever... I HATE job interviews with a PASSION and a HALF, and I hate wandering around downtown trying to pass out my resume. Its worse than say... Singing christmas carols in the mall? we WILL not go there at this present time...
anyways, Although I had not gone to PEI with my mom because I was sick, I just didnt feel the need to get a job. Dont get me wrong, I was working very part time with a guy for a notions company stocking notions at fabricland (where I used to work), but i just didnt feel at the time to search for something else. SO I waited until my mom returned, and then decided that nothing really served my fancy on this side of the city so i hitched up my wagon and headed into downtown. (Translation, I chased the bus half way downtown before it would let me on... or something like that)
WHen I arrived downtown I wasnt really sure where to start. I sort of knew where I wanted to work So i decided to start there first. which was fine with me. After wandering through the mall, I stopped at LUSH! (no im not excited, thats how the name is spelled/pronounced/wahtever) So I went in. As i browsed through the store ( I HATE just walking up to people and being like "so like HI, Im like looking for a job and was like wondering... would you hire me?!", So i just browsed... well while im "browsing" I overheard the two girls at the counter talking about how they were schedualling someone for an interview for that afternoon. I browsed for a few more minutes and then decided that I should approach the people, so i walked up to the people and said, "I was wondering if you are still hiring for the christmas season?" and they both looked at each other and were like, "uhm yeah, when can you come in for an interview?", and i said "well whenever you would like me too...." ... "can you come in this afternoon?"
So now im all of a sudden schedualled for a job interview. Great!
then I handed in my resume at Laura Secord.....
Then I called my bestest friend and went for lunch with her
while eating I got a phone call from Laura Secord
ME: Hello?
LS: Hi is Carlee there?
Me:speaking...
LS:I just got in and was wondering if you were able to come in for a job interview sometime tomorrow say... 1?
Me: (starting to jump up and down spilling my bestest friends chow mein, but still reigning in the calm in my voice) Sure that would be fine.
LS: see you then!
Me: ok...
CLICK
->insert victory dance here.....
So suddenly I have 2 job interviews with the 2 resumes that I handed out, and because my bestest friend just HAPPENED to know the manager at Laura, (and she introduced me to him later that day) I am basically gaurenteed the job.
->insert second victory dance....
Then i wandered around the mall some more, met up with my dad, wandered and then went to LUSH! for my interview...
After a 35 minute conversation, I had a second full time job working with the mostest coolest amazingest womens EVER! at the coolest job EVER!
->INSERT APPROX 90MINUTE TOUCH DOWN DANCE COMPLETE WITH VERY LOUD SHOUTING HYSTERICAL PHONE CONVERSATION WITH MOTHER ON CELLULAR TELEPHONE!
So that is what I have been doing for the past month. Besides gallivanting over to Alberta, I have been working to pay off my VISA bill... Ebay and I have a love hate relationship...
So if you missed my posting, all 1.5 readers, I apologise muchly to you and promise to try and be more faithful... I gaurentee I will be posting more in the next few days with many many stories from work and the bus as well as random rants...
That being said, it probably wont happen at all that way, but i have been writing things down so at least i wont forget them...
Oh yea and Pictures from my trip to Medicine Hat are posted on my facebook if you want to see the shinanagins that I got into... lol... nothing new there!
(pictures) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=169302&l=ae6d1&id=517695716
the link above is supposed to take you to my thanksgiving pictures, hopefully it wont take you anywhere else....
much love and busyness!!!
