I interviewed for, and accepted a job offer for a receptionist position at a vet clinic.  Super excited.  It will supplement my library position nicely, and it’s extremely convenient in terms of location.  My mom’s a little p-o’d since I didn’t find out how much I’d be making in terms of pay.  But honestly, that isn’t really a factor for me.  The position itself, and location, the hours, etc. all work.  And I have faith that the pay will work out perfectly as well.  Besides, I’m still at the library, and those shifts alone pay for my essentials.

I’ve decided to lose some piercings, and change the earrings in some others.  Which means: a) I took out 4 of my 6 lobe piercings (only the bottom one still has earrings in); b) changed my tragus ring for a stud like the one I sometimes wear in my lip; and c) put the ring that was in my tragus into my upper cartilage since it’s smaller than the previous ring.  Ideally I want a smaller barbell in my rook on the other side, but that can wait.  And I’ve started wearing a lip ring rather than a stud most of the time.  I like it better.

I’m still working on re-arranging my morning and night-time routines so that they fit better.  It’ll most likely begin to click once school starts.  For now, my earlier bedtimes mean I may not be blogging as much as I’d like.  Or doing as much yoga.  Or even as much journal writing.  But things shall get better.

I should go get ready for work right now.  Only 2 shifts left at Pier 1!!

Yawn!

It’s currently 1:15am.  I should definitely NOT be up right now.  But tonight I got home from work at 9:15pm, and then I still had to pack for camping, do up a new resume, and re-make my bed.

And when I went to do a quick blog entry, I got side-tracked by something called the Diva Cup.  It looks…interesting.  But I’m still completely unsure.

There is a zit on my cheek that won’t go away.  It’s driving me insane.  And I’m starting to reach the stage where picking at it seems like a good idea.  Argh.

Giving my 2 weeks notice to Pier 1 today went surprisingly well.  My manager pretty much explained to herself why I wanted to leave (she got one of the reasons, but not the biggest one, but I wasn’t planning on telling her anyways!).

Tomorrow I’m going to be super tired.  And when I’m tired, I’m usually pretty grumpy and short-tempered.  A day of working at Pier 1 could be interesting.

As much as I like the beard, I’m beginning to want shaved Jay back.  :-(  But last time we talked, he said he had no desire to go back.

Two Weeks

Well, I reached my limit tonight.  There were a few things that happened at work tonight that to my mind, prove that I’m not really wanted or needed at Pier 1.  So tomorrow morning I am handing in my notice.  There is an end in sight.

Now I must figure out how to go about changing my signature.  I think I will just wait until everything expires or wears off, and then use my new signature.  And any new cards I get will get my new signature.  The best thing is that my driver’s license is the first thing to expire – in 6 months ( a long time…but at least it’s not 5 years).  And I could theoretically put “Please See ID” on all my credit cards once I get that updated.  This is going to work.  :-)  Hopefully I won’t change my signature again until I get married, but then that’s pretty much expected for you to change it then (assuming you change names).

I went on a candy splurge last night.  Haven’t gone on one for ages.  But I still haven’t finished all of it, and I only spent $9.41.  So definite improvement there.  I wanted to share a picture of the giant box of Nerds I found.  I couldn’t resist.  For a size reference, the ring on my purse/bag just above the Nerds box is an inch and a half in diameter.

I got comments.  Yay!  So stoked.

Tomorrow I am packing for camping.  And doing some more laundry.  Today I did a bunch of laundry.  And copied a bunch of cds from the library.  I love feeling a sense of accomplishment.

I’m changing the colours of my blog.  Because as much as I like black, colour is always good.  Although there might be too much white.  We shall see.

Under-appreciated

The title pretty much says it all.  Today was such a bad day (and by today, I’m referring to work, not after work).  I couldn’t seem to do anything right in anyone else’s eyes.  Extremely frustrating.

I’m thinking it might be time to move on.  Even though it was only a week ago or so that I decided to stay.  But nightmares and stress just don’t really seem a good trade-off.  Because they bring a lot of bad stuff with them.  And I don’t need crap in my life.

However, my parents are still super supportive (in their own ways).  And my bro and I are close despite never seeing each other.  Jess is essentially back in my life.  Jill has always been there.  Jason just gets more amazing with every day – and I’m not sure I tell him that.

My Sleep Schedule should be thrown out at this point.  It’s not happening, and probably never will at this point.  I’m just not committed enough.  Or something like that.

Camping this weekend!  Montreal next weekend!  Golden the weekend after!

14 days down…3 days to go.  Way too many days to work without a day off.  I should stop torturing myself in the future.  NO needs to get a higher usage rate in my vocabulary.

I am a see-saw.  One week I love working at Pier 1, the next I hate it.

I cleaned my bathroom tonight.  Finally.

I love Jason.  In case you didn’t know.

I miss working out.  I plan on starting again once school starts and the gym is convenient.  Sad, but true.

I am definitely in need of some Zen.  I am in the middle of a 17-days of work streak.

My abs are lacking.  I am not fat, do not read this wrong.  I am happy with my body, blah, blah blah – I simply wish I had stunningly ripped abs.

I wish more people would comment.  And not just people looking for me to buy something from them.  People who actually “care” about me in some way, shape, or form.

I love Sunbird.  I wish I had more of a use for it.

I work too early tomorrow morning.  8am is not a good time for me to be at work.  It also means I should be in bed already.  My plans for the evening have gone completely awry.

My Current Thoughts

My back hurts.

I haven’t been sleeping well.

My bedroom is a mess, and my To Do list has nothing crossed off.  I wish I had more time.

Working at Southwood library is awesome.  It’s almost like coming home.  Way better than Glenmore.

I don’t want to work at Pier 1.  I’m sick of having to get dressed up, and not being able to wear my heels.  Or my capris.  And I don’t want to take out my piercings or cover up my tattoo anymore.

I get to see Jay tonight.  :-)

Traffic Circle of the Mind

It’s so weird.  Yesterday all I could do was complain about working at Pier 1.  Today I actually really enjoyed it.  And I enjoyed being with the people that usually drive me up the wall.  I don’t really understand why I’m all over the place.  Maybe it’s just because today I decided not to worry about the details.  That’s probably it.

I’m feeling really drained again.  It’s only 10:45pm, and I’m ready for bed.  A week ago I didn’t feel tired until midnight.  But I haven’t been sleeping very well the past couple of nights, so that doesn’t really help.

I did my make-up and hair today.  I was super excited, and loved every minute of it.  You can’t really see anything in the picture, but at least I remembered to take one.

Post #30

My title is unimaginative.  And for once, I am completely accepting of that fact.

I was reminded of a very important fact that alters my Sleep Schedule: it usually takes me half hour to fall asleep after I turn my lights out.  So until I can figure out how to change that, I need to factor that in and basically go to bed an hour before it’s time according to the schedule.  This way I can write in my journal, and get a little bit of reading in.

I get so sick of working at Pier 1 sometimes.  I just see things differently from other people, so what I consider a mess, they consider organization.

Plus I wouldn’t buy a lot of Pier 1 product myself, which means I’m not always excited about selling it.

(Yes, I edited my original post.  I have reasons)

I didn’t get around to taking any pictures today.  And I think that’s going to happen a lot at first.  So I’m just going to put up one of my favourites from the hike Jason and I went on this past weekend.
