I'm at work, a usual night shift... and as I'm incredibly bored I'm watching a movie called Ballet Shoes. It's actually really sweet, I think it's a cute movie and good for passing time, though I can't see it becoming a particular favorite or anything. So here I am, with my Tims... and it dawned on me that I haven't updated this in quite a while, haha.
I'm getting my first ever apartment come January, I'm really happy about it. I mean, everyone has their "meagre beginnings" with these sort of things, and I'll be eating Indian style (no table, lol) for a bit I'm sure... but still, my own apartment! I've already started a mini stockpile of things I'm sure I'll need, from dishes to cleaning supplies. And soon I'll not only be making a grocery list, but also looking into buying a new bed! And a coffeemaker, ofcourse. Lol.
I'm really starting to get comfortable with my job here. The newness has worn off and now I'm completely adjusted to the routine. Though I still get confused with how to fill out the time sheet and what exactly the "shift schedule" is, apparently there's a pattern... but I still haven't found one... maybe it's a figure 8 with a spider leg or two? Lol. Anyway, the clients are all comfortable with me now, and a few have even mentioned that I'm their favorite, which I thought was really sweet and flattering, though honestly, it's because I'm a pushover and they know they can get away with little things when I'm around :$.
This Christmas I wont be seeing my family. I'm actually working Christmas Day, and for pretty much all but a day or two of the actual break. So I've decided that I'll ask for a few days off in January and go down to Snow Lake with my presents for the family then. It'll be a lot less stressful for me and them trying to work out a "pickup/drop off" schedule, though it's going to be sad to be alone on Christmas. But I guess everyone has their first Christmas away from home eventually right? So this one will be mine!
Other than this there's honestly nothing new, I'm working pretty much constantly because we're so short staffed, but I like the paychecks and the overtime, lol. And as soon as I get the slightest chance I'm going to Winnipeg. There's a tattoo, an actual ring for my nose rather than a stud, and a jacket waiting for me! Not to mention a few good-looking fellas that I'm sure I'll bump into... accidently of course ;).
I love you guys, and hope that you're not stressing to death with final papers and preps for your finals!
