Tough Times Demand Tough Talk.
You know you haven't made an entry in a while when you actually have to look at your last post to figure out all the things that have changed in your life. At least I haven't abandoned this project completely.
As nice as it was to have a week off, I really wished that I had worked it now. During that time, my car ended up needing over $700 worth of repairs. Not cool. Thanks to that, I now owe my parents $300 which I still have yet to repay, as my last paycheck was less than $180.
On the Friday of my week off, a couple of my coworkers had a Halloween party, which was a blast. I went as a Hudorite (A word I'm sure I spelled wrong), which probably wasn't the best of taste, but it was private. Possibly the best moment of that whole party was when we went pumpkin-bashing and lit off a few cherry bombs. We learned the hard way that they're a lot louder than you'd expect.
Going to work related things, I've finally managed to escape being a Cashier/Courtesy Desk worker, and I'm headin' to Electonics! Thanks to the manager of Electronics pulling rank on my current manager, I'm ending up there in about ten days instead of going after Christmas. Part of me feels sorry for the "Front-End", but the other realizes that my current manager is new, pays no attention to the actual number of staff on a night and just does as the computer says, and rips me off in the hour department. As far as I'm concerned, good riddance until you can get your act together.
Thankfully, out town has evaded winter...for now. Up in Saskatoon, they've received a insane amount of snow, which simply boggles the mind. Here, we're enjoying temperatures in the low pluses, which isn't a complaint at all. Let's hope that the nest time I post, I won't be seeing white. :)
