Back from CSLC. It was so much fun! Got some interesting ideas for what to do at school, and learned a bunch of interesting things. There was so much spirit! The constant cheering was pretty amazing. Hopefully I don’t go into culture shock tomorrow when I go back to school.
We stayed at a family’s house, and wow, they were amazing. Our beds were re-made every day, chocolate left on our pillows, and they were always trying to get us to eat a lot. Lol.
I missed Wed-Fri for the conference, and now that I’m back, I miss Tues for an SU retreat.
My school might be hosting CSLC 2013, however I won’t be there, I’ll be in university, which blows. Hopefully I’ll be able to go as an adviser, or planner, or something.
P.S. I think you should check out Better the World. You just download a sidebar to your web browser, and you raise money for charity simply by surfing the web. It’s 100% free, and easy to use!

I’m leaving for a leadership conference tomorrow after school. Pree excited. I’ll be gone all week.
Re-lign in progress at work. View the pic.

Can’t believe I haven’t blogged in… a while to say the least.
Going to a leadership conference next week. Definitely looking forward to it.
Work is still enjoyable.
Well, that’s it for now, I guess? Lol.

Currently enjoying my double spare in the morning. Definitely like sleeping in. I got rid of my 2nd period spare, though. I’m taking some 3D graphics course or something. I really don’t know. Lol. Still get to sleep in though, which is a bonus.
Welcome Week is next week at school. As Students’ Union we put it on for the entire school. I’m our mascot all next week. Kinda looking forward to it, but kinda not. It’s fun, but it get really hot and sweaty inside, which curls my hair. I may just have to bring my straightener to school.
The dairy cooler at work is a total disaster! There is so much stuff everywhere! It’s completely blocking everything. I didn’t even have room to get the empty milk crates out. Morning shift in dairy tomorrow is definitely going to have fun with that.
Everything tastes good dipped in peanut butter.

First day of school was pretty chill. I liked having the double spare before lunch. I think that’s going to change tomorrow, though. I really hope they don’t mess around with the rest of my schedule since I want to get rid of the spares. They probably will though, which is lame, as I like my classes.
They finally changed our cell phone policy. Last year they weren’t supposed to be used/seen during school hours. But now, you can use them during lunch, and during spares, which is much better. No more trying to hide your phone while txting.
Our welcome week at school is next week, and since I’m in students’ union and leadership, I got voluntold to be the mascot all next week at lunch. It’s okay, but it gets REALLY hot inside, and you get so sweaty, which obviously makes my hair curl.
My friend and I bused to the mall, and were standing inline for Orange Julius. That’s when I realized I left my debit card in my work pants at home. It majorly sucked, considering it was 30c outside, and I really wanted something cold. So we left, and I made a banana/blueberry/vanilla milkshake one I got home. It was good, but I would’ve preferred a Tripleberry Julius, not gonna lie.
It was insanely hot in my school today. We were all sweating buckets. So gross. Of course, we don’t have air conditioning, which I don’t understand why not, but yeah. I loved math, ’cause the fan was right in front of me. Damn heat absolutely ruined my hair. It even looked good this morning. I was so pissed.
L8er.

School starts tomorrow. Kinda excited, but kinda wish summer wasn’t over.
Still haven’t gotten my learners yet. Uggh. Really need to do that.
I was at work until 2:30am this morning. 15% off Tuesday is today, and there was a lot to do, so a few of us stayed. It was actually pree chill. We got to say whatever we wanted on the intercom. FTW. It really didn’t feel like a 12.5hr day. After all the customers left, time flew by. We got free iced tea and A&W from our managers. Minus the part that I’m vegetarian, so I got A&W fries. They do have veggie burgers there, but they taste nasty. The cheese is weird, they add salt, which is gross, and their bun is just weird tasting.
On my timetable they gave me a 1st and 2nd block spare, so I think I’ll find out tomorrow if that got changed or not. I hope it did.
I should probably go get some stuff ready for tomorrow. pCe.

Registration for the grade 11s and 12s was today at school. I obviously went. I was there for 8hrs, as I volunteered for the Students’ Union table. We gave out water bottles to those who paid their SU fees. The water bottles are actually really sexy this year. It was actually kind of chaotic. We had to punch their ID cards, and those things are pretty hard to punch. We also had to look through a list, find their name, highlight it, and check it off.
The actual registration part was annoying. I was doing that for a good 3 hrs. The lines were so long. I’m surprised, my ID card picture actually turned out good, even though it took 4 tries, ’cause I kept blinking. I didn’t get where I requested for a locker. It’s lame, but it works. They gave me a double spare 1st and 2nd period, which is completely retarded. They spared me instead of working in the options I really wanted (psychology, and web design.) I filled out a form, so they’ll hopefully fix that up.
Back at 8 am tomorrow for day 2. Tomorrow’s grade 10 registration, which should be even more chaotic.
pCe.

Another 8hr shift. Nothing really exciting. I made more announcements every 45mins advertising our Fruitopia on for $1. (Mainly ’cause it expires in 3 days, so we have to toss the rest soon.) It really didn’t seem to be working today, which is weird. Usually when I advertise stuff, people flock there, and we sell out in no time, but today that wasn’t the case. My manager switched departments, so my assistant manager in my department got promoted to manager. I don’t really see many changes coming, but we’ll see. I actually have the next 4 days off, which is the most days I’ve had off in a row all summer.
I saw one of my friends that I haven’t seen all summer, at work today. It made my day.
I finally gave in, and bought a Megaupload premium account, so I can watch unlimited CSI Miami episodes. Yes, that’s how much I love that show.
School registration is in 3 days. I volunteered to help out both days, but haven’t received any info on where to go, or when. I should probably e-mail pretty quick. I think I’ll do that once I’m done this blog.
Aight, pCe out.

Work was pretty good today, even after only getting 5hrs of sleep. Bought a Starbucks energy drink and donuts. Good combo. Lol. I kept having to page my supervisor to receiving, ’cause he kept leaving when the trucks arrived. I swear I’m always there when a truck pulls in. It’s weird. I got to write part of our grocery order. 6 aisles to be exact. I think I ordered a lot. We’ll see tomorrow, when it comes in. I finally got a new uniform. I’ve had the same one for over a year, and you can definitely tell. Apparently the new ones are made of better material, so we’ll see how well they last. My mom was 40 mins late getting me after my shift. I basically just chilled in an aisle with a co-worker, then sat in receiving, called a friend, and answered incoming phone calls to the store.
I bought an elliptical from Zellers. With my student discount, it was only $180, which is a great price. I’m taking a break from putting it together. It’s been decent so far.
I hate Megavideo. They only allow you to watch 72mins of video per 24hrs, and when you’re watching CSI Miami, that doesn’t go far. It literally stops you during your video to tell you as much. I had to wait 40mins just to finish 12mins of CSI. It’s really lame, but I’m cheap and refuse to pay $10/month for unlimited.
L8er.
8/21
Another un-eventful day.
Worked an 11-7 today. First time working that shift. Had to train a new guy at work, today. So far everyone I’ve trained has been fired. Lol.
7-3 tomorrow. I hate getting up early, but I love being there before the store opens, so I can do pretty much anything within reason.
Seeing a movie tomorrow. Not completely sure about the plans yet.
pCe out.
8/20
Nothing all that exciting today.
I answered another phone call coming into the store, ’cause the phone just kept ringing, and ringing, and ringing. Surprisingly none of the managers said anything, as generally the only people who answer phones are Customer Service, and the upstairs office, and I was in the backroom.
11-7 shift tomorrow. I’ve never actually worked that shift before. I’m not used to getting up before noon on a weekday, so this shall be interesting.
Currently watching Big Brother.

Today was another chill day. Unfortunately my friend got a root canal the other day, and it still hurt like a bitch, so she had to go back in, so needless to say I didn’t see GI Joe today. I was really looking forward to it, but another time.
I actually got up at 11am, so I could make it to the movie, but yeah. So I’ve been really tired all day, which isn’t really anything new. So, I decided to head to the mall, as I needed to buy a birthday gift for a friend. I stopped by Starbucks, then headed to work for a bit. I managed to drop my Frappuccino, and it went everywhere in an aisle. But for once, I didn’t have to clean it, because I wasn’t working. A bunch of my Frappuccino was still good, so I drank the rest. While I was in the backroom at work, the receiving alarm goes off, and me being the only employee there I had to page the receiver, so he could come shut it off. I swear, even when I’m not working I always end up paging at work.
I just got back from getting my hair dyed/highlighted/trimmed. $105 later. I’m not really sure if I like it, ’cause I haven’t straightened it yet, so it’s still really curly, which makes it hard to tell. I got it re-dyed brown, with blonde on the tips. I was honestly in there for 2hrs. I started falling asleep on a few occasions.
I seriously need a new phone. I hate mine so much, but as I’ve said before, if I got a new phone now, I’d owe Koodo $125 from this phone. I don’t think I’m going to go with Telus’ Student Blackberry plan. It looks good, until you read all the fine print. With the $35 plan, the $12 caller id/voicemail the $6.95 monthly fee, and the $0.75 monthly 911 fee, it’s $56. Honestly I could easily afford that, but I’m choosing not to. That’s way to much to pay a month. Then again I’m also cheap, so yeah. Lol.
I bought Shiloh’s new CD today. It’s okay. I mean I like her 4 singles, because they’re upbeat and catchy, but the other 9 songs are so mellow, and slow, which isn’t my thing. The CD was only $8.00, but I really don’t feel like I’ll get my money’s worth out of it by listening to the 4 songs that I find are actually good. Maybe I expected too much from it, maybe it’s just not for me, or maybe the other 9 “meh” tracks will start growing on me. Who knows.
I started watching the latest season of CSI Miami online today. Pretty good so far. Definitely looking forward to it coming out on DVD in September.
That’s it for now. pCe.

I just realized that for being a vegetarian I don’t actually eat all that healthy. When I’m hungry, I want something NOW, I don’t want to burn even more calories while making something healthier. I really should though, ’cause it’s obviously not good for you.
Big Brother tonight wasn’t very interesting. Which is kind of my fault, considering I read the spoilers online. But really, when a House Guest is removed from the house by the producers, you’d think they’d put up a fight, and start swearing. But Chima didn’t. She simply left, which was a let down. Chima’s very outspoken on every occasion, so I was definitely surprised when she simply left. Then again, they could’ve edited it. Hmm, who knows. Later in the show Lydia got drunk, and started freaking. It was more or less the highlight of the show for me.
During Gym class in June we were playing Predator and Prey in the forest behind our school, and of course I tripped. My arm was completely cut up and bloody. It was pretty gross. I just realized that I still have the mark it left on my arm a month and a half later. Either it’s a scar now, or I’m too impatient, and I thought it should’ve healed by now.
My foot is feeling way better now. (Read previous blog.)
I stayed home for most of the day. Worked on some webdesign, and watched TV. I went out a bit later with my mom. It was kind of funny, it was raining pretty hard out, and everyone around was running either to the store, or their vehicles, and I’m just causally strolling. I mean it’s just water, right?
GI Joe tomorrow! Looking forward to it.
I REALLY want an SUV, however I don’t even have my learners yet. I really should though. Honestly, it’s just pure laziness.
Ooh, my favorite American Dad episode is on. pCe out.
8/17
Work absolutely sucked today. There was so much to do. I easily could’ve stayed an extra couple hours, ’cause there was still a bunch to do when I left. Plus I managed to ram a cart into my foot, which didn’t help. Major pain right there. Originally I couldn’t walk, but after icing it, and putting some cream on, it was manageable.
I felt so blah at work. My body ached, and I had a headache. I don’t even know why. The Starbucks energy drink didn’t much help.
I am seriously so happy I have tomorrow and Wednesday off. It’s badly needed. I think I’m just going to chill at home tomorrow, sleep for like 12 hours, and go from there. Wednesday I’m finally seeing GI Joe with someone I haven’t seen in forevah. Hoping it’ll be epic.
Can’t wait for Big Brother tomorrow night. The producers had to remove a House Guest from the house. I know who, and why, but it’ll definitely be interesting to watch it unfold.
Wendy’s commercials piss me off. Wendy’s is a fast food joint, yet in their commercials they say “Wendy’s: it’s better than fast food.” EXCUSE ME? Last time I checked, they are fast food. Like what are they trying to pull, who are they trying to convince? Get with the program.
I LOVE popcorn twists. They’re like my favorite food. I managed to eat a whole bag today. Not a good thing. Lol.
I think that’s about it for now. pCe.
Ooh p.s. justin-bieber.net. Check it.
Layout + Life
New layout. I quite like it.
I should really start blogging more. I wonder if anyone even reads it anymore. Lol.
Lately it’s been work, tv, sleep, repeat. It’s aight. Working full time over the summer to make more money. I’m definitely cutting back for school, though.
I’m kinda looking forward to school again. I want to see my friends, and I’m looking forward to students union/leadership.
I’m probably going to get a Blackberry from Telus pretty quick. I want one just to be more organized, and to network with my friends some more. The plan is really sweet. (Check it here.) The only problem is that I got a new phone a few months ago, and it’s sort of on a contract, but I can cancel it any anytime. But because I put the phone on my tab, and didn’t pay for it, I’ll owe them like $100 for it. Which is lame, but yeah.
I think that’s all for now. pCe.
Blink 182 + All American Rejects + Fall Out Boy
A little delayed, but…
Dewy and I took the wrong stairs, and almost ended up backstage, ’cause the door was open. Smart, eh? =P
Originally there were like 4 of us that made a wall, so the ppl pushing couldn’t get through. It worked up until a point. There was this one guy that kept pissing everyone off, so a girl started grabbing his hair, and pulling him. It made my night.
Travis Barker suspended in midair. Pree sick.
Confetti everywhere! Even down both muh shirts.
Booty Shorts
40 year old dude in booty shorts at work today.
disturbing, yet hilarious.
’nuff said.
Receiving
I had to cover receiving for an hour at work yesterday, and it was so boring as no trucks came. So I literally cleaned everything in sight. The desk, the phone, the floor, the receiving door, and the garbage disposal. Hmm I guess I like cleaning. Lol.
Our Sobeys Sprinkler
So, I don’t fully understand this, but basically our alarms kept going off at work ’cause it was too hot. We had to send someone from customer service out to buy a sprinkler to cool some room down, which would stop the alarms from going off. It’s working well, other than the hose going right through our back room…
Sobeys Phone Sex
While on break, we were wondering what phone sex would sound like at work. We think it’d be something like this:
>> “Watcha wearin’?”
>>> “My Sobeys apron.”
>> “Watcha wearin’ under that?”
>>> “My Sobeys sweater.”
>> “Watcha wearin’ under that?”
>>> “My Sobeys shirt.”
>> “Watcha wearin’ under that?”
>>> “My tank top.”
>> “Aww.”
