Again I am a slacker

So I was 'hired' to clean!! That's right I'm going to be a maid (really it's a job and I NEED one!)

But this darned beautiful snow.

Don't get me wrong I love snow! I mean I really love it! I would enjoy watching it fall all day long, but it makes it hard to get out. Heck even my poor brother couldn't get more than two car lengths down the drive. So how am I supposed to get my cleaning gig?? Huh!!

That's right! I can't! So I shall instead, sit here in the comfort of our home and try and find ways to entertain my self. Movies, games perhaps, internet and always the ol' standby reading.

So yeah, I'm slacking.... but I have too! Nature dictates it.

Curious.... very curious

Just a random request...

Mainly for Lilo, it was after all, her in the scenario.

Can people not have me for their maid-of-honor and force me to take part in some ritual to bring unity and purification to their wedding/vows by 'hunting' Bigfoot in an industrial area with only laser tag equipment?? A Bigfoot I might add that looked like 'Harry and the Henderson's' big foot but was really really mean and evil, I mean this Bigfoot wanted to take us out and all we had were little puny toy guns that shot lasers that only registered on a few 'safe' dots on a small chest covering Bigfoot was wearing?? Not only all of that but can the blasted thing not, not not, not not be led by my former team leader Scott???

Thank you and have a nice day!





ps. have I ever mentioned on here how very very weird my dreams can be?? Perhaps that's pertinent information too know. Ya know... for like the future and stuff.

pps. that was only a small portion of the dream too... the most pertinent part in my opinion at least for my blog today that is.

Well! Aint that a -----!

It's amazing what can change in the space of an hour....

The good mood is gone!!

Long gone!!

I hate twists of fate... Ok not all twists of fate but this latest one was a low blow and it makes me quite sad!!

Good bye job *sniff*

'And the pain shall be lifted from them....'

Just a shorty here...

Just wanted to say...

I'm happy.

Very happy.

The pain has abated.

I am comfortable with the guys, and the work.

I am happy!

That's all.

A very feeble 'yippee' for me...

So today... last night?!?! How to put it... I guess last night.

So last night at work was much better.

No shouting matches!
My 'job' was switched a little.
And I got to know the guys I work with a little better.

For precaution, I took some Back and Body pain meds before going to try and help the minor soreness I was experiencing. It really did the trick. I felt really good when I got to work. Ready to go!

Did a lot of the same stuff, but now, as per Robbie's ( supervisor ) orders I'm to mainly put in shelves and drawers. So really I rarely and I do mean rarely have to hang doors. And oddly enough my favorite kind to deal with were the corner cabinet doors. You only have to shove the top three and bottom hinges together, no adjusting the door... no screws involved. Not so bad really. (Their downfall is that they are again really tall doors) So pretty much everything else was clips, shelves, a few screws, maybe a short door or two and even fewer big doors.

All in all not so bad of a night.

We also had quite a bit of down time tonight, a drill broke... or something (???) Anyway due to that we had time to pretty much just sorta chat and try and look busy. You know, sweeping, filling bins, taking out the trash... that sort of thing. Anyway got to know them all a little better. Which is nice. Now I don't feel so awkward.

Ah... but the result of such a night...... MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME!!!! My lower back too... but only a little. I haven't done this much squatting in... oh yeah... NEVER!!!

So very very sore. And rather worn out. My last cabinet was just going south in a hurry. I didn't hardly have the energy to raise the shelves into their clips. It was rather sad. But I got them all in and then it was time to go!! Horrah!!! (Oops, did I leave the doors and locks for someone else to put in??? Yeah I did, but the guys told me it was ok... *in my defense*)

So now, I'm typing this up while I'm still up. I am going to try and go see about setting the timer to record the inauguration *sigh*, take some more back and body drugs and Off to la la land I go!!!

Hopefully tomorrow will go even better... *fingers crossed*

Boo and *HUGE Tears* for me.....

I have chosen this sickly green color because I feel it matches me...

Work was a dud... or I was a dud at work... that makes more sense.

I'm feeling very down in the mouth at the moment.

A more pathetic creature I have never known than myself.

Ok so maybe there were a few things that factored into the whole mess but really.... I am still pathetic.

Tonight was the night!! It was the big show. And I blew it.... in so many ways did I blow it!

First I set myself up somewhat for puniness...(is that a real word?? If not it should be!) I didn't eat supper before I went to work tonight. Mistake numero uno!

Second they set me up by giving me a task that I am apparently unable to do (who knew I was such a weakling... not I) My job was to mainly attach doors to really tall cabinets.

Let me describe this in detail to you... thus you understand fully why this is beyond my abilities.
The cabinets are definitely more that six feet tall. (or maybe they are right at 6' ft) The doors to these cabinets are no light weight things, they are in fact quite substantial. The process for hanging these doors is thus: Hold the stinkin heavy door with one hand while supporting it on one foot, aligning the hinges with screws (that hopefully you don't need to install because we didn't take the time for that step) Ok now that the hinges are aligned with those screws we need to screw those screws in!! (it's in their nature to want to be screwed... it's what they are) Ok so take the air powered screwdriver (oh I hope you switched that from air nozzle to screwdriver cause well other wise you need to set down the door and we'll have to start all over) and let it rip! Show those screws who's boss..... what they aren't going into the hole?? Hmmm?? Well imagine that... that's because we can't just have the screws go readily into their holes, Oh no no no no no no.... You have to use force on those suckers... really push hard to get it to go! Got it??? You have that door hung yet???

Yeah!!! Exactly!!! I mean... ok so I am apparently a weenie... I mean I can lift the doors just fine, I can even hold them in place for someone else... but I can NOT hold it in place one handed/footed while using lots of force with the other hand to push the cabinet away from me. I just CAN'T!!! I'm sad and puny but there it is!!! Also somewhat in my defense I am rather short (5'6" ish?? Maybe 5'7" not tall here kids) and those cabinets are tall.... or maybe they just seemed extra tall considering the awkwardness I was in! But still they are taller than me and trying to tighten a screw that's above your head under those conditions is very very hard! (at least for me)

Ok and another thing, it wasn't bad, but the place has a certain...... shall we say odor? It's the laminate, plus glue, plus ply-whatsit lacquer thinner or whatever. The smell (which I'll admit I can easily get used too) was a bit of a surprise, an unpleasant one at that.


So I choose the sickly green color because while I had been keeping up fairly well, not setting any speed records here, I suddenly felt it... it was going to happen.....Something that hasn't happened in many years, so you could have forgotten what it feels like. But you don't. You can never forget what it feels like when it happens

Oh ok FINE! I admit it.... I THREW UP, tossed my cookies, ate in reverse, shouted at the floor. Take your bloody pick!! But there it is.... Not only that but in front of... oh let's face it everyone!

Ok not everyone everyone... but all the guys that I will most likely have to work with, not to mention my team leader AND supervisor!! Can it get worse than that?? Anything else to make everything more mortifying?? Oh how about the fact that I didn't want to throw up in front of everyone so I tried to hold it in... and failed *GROSS WARNING HERE* so there was a little on my shirt (only good thing, it was mostly liquid that time, ONLY good thing).

'That time?' you ask... oh my dear dear friends... there was more than one shouting match held.... luckily all the others were in the bathroom (THANK GOD!!)

If it hadn't be so mortifying, I might have laughed at the look on the faces of my team leader and supervisor. It was like they didn't quite know what to do... help the person who is throwing up... keep well out of the way... choices choices.

I am just so....... what's the word.... disappointed ( I guess that works ) I mean what a way to start your new job that you are so desperately needing. ( ok no real bills to speak of although I'm sure mom would like to be repaid and receive reimbursement on that whooping text bill) Not to mention jobs aren't exactly up for grabs right now... I was really lucky to get this one.

Let's just all hope and pray that 1. I feel better tomorrow, 2. There are no repeat performances and 3. Nothing worse happens next time I'm there.

I mean really..... what could be worse.... (course now that I say that.........)

Why oh why did tonight have to be such a complete and TOTAL failure??

Horrah for me!!

That's right this is all about the greatness of me....

Ok you caught me.

It's not all about the greatness of me... I'm not so sure that type of statement can even apply to me. I mean seriously... Greatness of ME?!?! I think not.

But to get back on track here... I do feel very 'horrah for me' right now, not so much of anything I did. No no no... it's because of what I now get to do.

That's right kiddies... I have a job!! FINALLY!!! I know, I know... I've taken my sweet time about it! Ok not entirely my fault. I've applied at multiple places and they just didn't show an interest. But (and thanks goes to many people for this) Stevens Industries Inc. wants me and I'm excited!

Thanks Lily for perjuring your self on my behest. Thanks Stevens people for wanting me in the first place. And.... Well.... Heck why not thanks to me huh?? I mean I'm the one that had to keep applying her self even though she kept receiving rejections... and I had to pass that stupid pee test, that's right no drugs for me!!! By the by I HATE those things... It's not so much the having to pee it's that guys are much more equipped for that sort of thing. And well let's face it, they are a little teeny tiny bit embarrassing. But ya know what?? It's worth it!!

Cause I have a job!!

I have A job!!

I HAVE a job!!!

I have a JOB!!! I don't think there are any other ways to express my excitement over the whole thing.

I can go out and randomly buy clothes now if the need strikes me.

I can pay for more schooling... which ick but it's a necessary evil.

I can even horde...er... save up all my money and maybe one day buy my self something real real nice!

The options are limitless!

My excitement knows no bounds.













.......



But we'll see how I feel after the first few days... I've been out of the work loop for a while.

And then we'll see how I feel in about six months.

Still.....



I have a job!

Now if only that really great guy would get around to introducing himself....................
