I got told the other day that because of the sales, the training I was suppose to go to tomorrow has been canceled. Phew! Or so I thought. I still have to work all day. >.< But it gets worse. I saw my roster for next week, and it appears I’m working every day!!!! >.< But wait… there’s more. Everyday is an 8am starts with a estimated 6pm finish, which means, 6am wake ups!!! T.T Come Friday, I think I’m gonna wish I was dead. My only hope is my dear friend… caffeine…. Sigh. Damn sales.

I had a really pleasant day of lounging around the house doing my own thing, watching Ratatouille. Hehehe love that movie. Then mum came home and lately she’s in her “no one helps me around the house” moods. Take in the fact that I’m at that time of the month where little things piss me off majorly and I think you can understand how my day was ruined. ARGH! I hate how she thinks no one helps her out when we all do our part all the time. Maybe I should complain about how she doesn’t help with the cooking or how she doesn’t change the light bulbs and iron the clothes.

My hairdryer blew up today, and when I mentioned it to her, she said it was my fault and that nothing I owns ever lasts very long. I’ve had my hair dryer for well over 6 years!!!! How long does she think these things are suppose to last?! There is a damn good reason why they only give you a three year maximum warranty on it!!! ARGH! Luckily there is a hairdryer I have had my eyes on that is on clearance. Only thing is that I can’t get it till Tuesday, and I’m gonna need a hair dryer over the weekend. >.< I’m really really dreading the week to come…..

Ever have a day where you wake up all optimistic and ready to live, only to have a series of events that by the end of the day you want nothing more than to just get a baseball bat and smash the **** out of everyone and everything that gets in your way?

Stupid chick at work is pissing me off. It all started yesterday, her job to to make thing look pretty around the store, I was helping her move some stuff, and I found extra stock for her to fill up the spaces. She turns to me and goes: “Thanks, so you’re not completely helpless.” I was so pissed off. I decided that I have had enough of her arrogance and just walked off to “help a customer”. I’m not doing her ******* job for her and then have her throw it back in my face, implying I’m useless. She’s the one being paid to move things and make things look good, my job is to just help the customers and to sell the stock. If she doesn’t like it, she can do it herself.

She didn’t say much to me today. I avoided her too. She’s so loud, I was getting a headache from just her voice droning on and on and on about how no one helps her, blah blah blah. She will tell off people in front of customers, and then doesn’t understand why people don’t seem to get along with her. I felt sorry for her a few weeks back, when she said that no one liked her and that she was considering going back to Melbourne. I had never worked with her longer than five minutes prior to this week. You have no idea how relieved I am after today that I never invited her out anywhere. She needs to realize that if you treat people with respect they will give you their respect. I do not have to be nice to someone who treats me like crap.

I have a hard time getting to sleep at night. I always have. Its just that after being use to the past few weeks, where I didn’t have to start work till much later, that I gotten use to sleeping in until 9. Now, because two people from my department have been relocated, I’m picking up the slack and doing most of their shifts as well as mine. Which means, I am a work MORE than the full timers in my department. I also found out I have to go do training on Saturday. Yes a SATURDAY!!! That’s not the worse part. Worse part is that I’m suppose to start at 8.30 and I don’t finish till 5.30. On a Saturday!!! The shops don’t open until 9 and it closes at 5!!!!!! Why am I going to be there before AND after it closes!!!! X(

I found out yesterday that one of the people that transferred to another department only got it after she gave our merchandising manager a letter saying that our line manager is pushy. I’ve heard her and the other one that transferred complaining saying that when our line manager tells us to try and include the product cover on the electrical items, its harassment. Its not harassment. It is far from it. It’s his job to try to get us to increase our team’s sales, and as a manager it is his job to give us sales targets. I think my line manager is a little bit odd and sometimes says things which can be annoying, but that’s only because he treats us more like a friend than a  worker. But when we tell him we can’t work on a certain day or if we need more shifts or if we have a problem with a customer, he is really accommodating about it. If anything is harassment, it would probably be the head office calling him during his holiday asking why there were no product covers sold. He’s only doing his job and I can’t believe she wrote that letter. I just truly never expected that out of her. If she didn’t like it, she should have just told him straight to his face, but she never even discussed it with him. Also, those product covers are not hard to sell. They pretty much sell themselves. It is mostly just a lot of paperwork that looks daunting, but after doing it a few times, they are actually quite easy too. I know for a fact that person stresses out A LOT. I’m not just talking about every now and again. But she’s always stressing. If it is not because she doesn’t know how to work the till, its because she’s worried that someone is trying to steal something. Yes, people try to steal things, but not all of them. She fully stares at people even when she is right next to them. One customer that she did that to asked her what her problem was. LOL. As for the till, if she calms down, she wouldn’t hit so many wrong buttons and then she wouldn’t have so many problems. >.< Now that she’s transferred, the other manager has her moving from department to department, and has more hours than most people, so talk about stressful.

The other one that transferred, is i guess in general a nice enough person, but I don’t think she liked working in our department for the same reasons that a lot of the younger staff don’t like working there. Its so busy, it never stops. I hated it when I first started there, I knew nothing, and there was just no time for me to just stop and take a breath. But the longer I worked there and the more I got use to it. Now I don’t mind it. I actually kinda like it sometimes, because it means my day passes a lot faster. But for others who are only filling in every now and again, its hard work. And they get very lazy and just want to stand and do nothing. The other thing is, we are right next to the office, so management staff are always walking in and out of there. It doesn’t look good to be standing around chatting when we should be working. I know that person wanted a position where she could get more hours and that wasn’t such hard work. So now she’s gone down to men’s wear, and has much less hours. She’s not happy about that, but hey, she didn’t want a hard job.

Oh well, their actions put them in their current positions, they just got to learn that you can’t always get things your way all the time.

I have several secret shameful indulgences…. one…. I like Britney Spears new album. *blushes* I know I know. But damn the songs are so addictive. It doesn’t help that I am currently very addicted to the overly cutesy songs. The other song I seem to like at the moment, is the Snuggle Song By Schnuffel Bunny. *Cringes* I know. Its so bad!! But I love it!!!!! Every time I hear the music I want to sing it or bop around the house. >.< How can you hate that song though? I mean listen to the lyrics!! “You are my sweetest love, that love I always want to hug, because I really love you, the world just has to know” I think I found it cute because in the video clip, he is singing it to his carrot. Hehehe. So cute. “snuggle cuddle and then hug me! With you I always want to be!!!”

I’m back to my “I’m still hungry” phase. Sigh.

I made Jiaozi last night. It was quite yummy. I think my mum liked it. She kept trying to find ways to make it slightly different. I was at the point where I’m thinking, its not broken, just leave it! Oh well. That my mother for you. She can’t tell us she likes something, you gotta read between the lines at all times. My brother is picking up her habits too. I made Tom Kha for dinner the other night, and he got home. He asked if I made the soup. I was like “Yeah, why?”. His response: “No reason. You never made it before hey?” So I asked if he liked it. He goes: “Its alright.” Then he walked off.  Translation: I liked it, can you make it again. Argh! I think they were put here on Earth to make my life difficult. ARGH! Can’t they just say what they mean?!

Anyways. Right now, I need more food. the Jiaozi was soooo not enough.

It has bought me so much joy, helped me pass those horrible times known as bordem and it provides me with such strange and unusual entertainment such as the following link.

Reminds me of the weekends don’t you think? I mena replace the “beers” with either rum or spirits, but you know.

I need to go shopping. X( Left my card at home on Sunday. Sigh. Couldn’t go shopping.

HELLO!!!!

Seems a lot of people been on my blog lately. I don’t know why. So I guess welcome? If I don’t know you, nice to meet you. Who are you? If I do know you and you found this blog by accident, I don’t know you and leave me alone!

In the mean time, I’m craving cheesecake.

Just saw this clip while playing around on youtube… as I do….

I found it absolutely hilarious, but how it makes me think. How many of us has done this? I mean maybe not dance as ridiculously as Carlton does, but dance around the house when no one else is at home when they hear a really good song come on. I know that there have been a few times where I’ve been guilty of that myself.

As ridiculous as it is, if you haven’t tried it. You should. Its quite fun.

So on an end note, here’s one from Scrubs.

In another moment of my random net surfing, I came across an interesting memory.

Before Hi5, and before the Wiggles, we had Peter Combes. I asked my friends if they remembered. They said no, until I started to sing his songs. How I thought he was so cool and how my friends and I use to run around the playground singing to our little six year old hearts content. “WASH YOUR FACE IN ORANGE JUICE!!!!! CLEAN YOUR TEEEEETH WIV BUBBLEGUM!! BRUSH YOUR HAIR WIV A TOOFBRUSH!!!!” Ahahaha! Yeah, I know. Looking back, I wondered what they put in our milk. Ah those were the days. When every adult just seemed very old, and just could not get why those songs were so cool. Actually not much has changed I guess. But now he does do concerts for us not so young kids. I found some of these clips on youtube, so I thought I’d share. Hehehe!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh joy and happiness!

My box has arrived!!! XD So happy! I got my pants and my scarf and my long sleeve shirts and my gloves and my beanie and and and AND MY COAT!!!! Its a lil crushed though. Need to airrate it a lil too. But i got everything back now!!! YAY!!!!!!!!
