   No song. No energy..
I can't help but feel that the Union meetings I attend are a waste of time. New boss just dosen't seem to get it. People aren't always comfortable going to him with their problems. Especially new people. EsPECially if HE'S the problem... I mean, you can maintain that you have an "open door policy" all you want, but sometimes I just get the "eff off" impression. I just feel awfully useless during those meetings sometimes...

Well.. I'm going to head downtown tomorrow afternoon and see if I can pick up some OLP tickets. I guess I should make sure I'm not working first, eh? *sigh* Probably am... Might be time to call in a favor..

Anyhow.. got a headache. And I'm tired. I fell asleep with my contacts in earlier, so I'm probably going to have to pry them off of my eyeballs. Owww... Goodnight..

   "Well this place is old/
It feels just like a beat up truck/
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn/
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes/
This place is always such a mess/
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn..." -The Wallflowers (One Headlight)

Ironically, my truck has a headlight out...

1. Once again, I'm never having children. I'm afraid I'd turn out to be the kind of parent that freaks out at their kid in public. Poor lady. I'm embarassed for her. Poor kid too..

2. I would like a Caramel Chip Cheesecake Blizzard. Unfortunately it's 11:00 at night. And by the time I wake up in the morning, I'll have forgotten that I wanted one. Unless I see the commercial again...

3. Good news, I may still get to see Our Lady Peace. My friend Jenn stopped by work this evening and said she'd love to go if we could still get some tickets. So I'll have to head downtown later this week and see what I can get.

4. I may have to change the date for my staff BBQ. *sigh* It seems that turnout may not be so great after all. If I move it closer to the end of August, maybe? People will be getting back from hols and getting ready to go back to class.. I just don't know what to do anymore...

5. Have got a Union meeting coming up. I have the feeling that it's going to be a messy one. I've been a bad steward lately. I'm going to get the "well why didn't you come to me first?" lecture from new boss.. Ehhh... Hate that. Plus we haven't had a meeting since the end of April, I think. Loooong time.. So we're due. Which also means that it's high time I got really annoyed by something. *sigh*

Anyways.. that's about enough out of me. Goodnight everybody. And happy Fourth of July! Wohoo! *lights sparklers*

   "My mind is set on overdrive/
The clock is laughing in my face/
A crooked spine/
My sense dulled/
Passed the point of delerium/
On my own, here we go..." -Green Day (Brain Stew)

They tried to get me to stay late at work. I said no. Hahaha. I had already been there six hours. And forgot to take a second coffee break. Whoops. Not like putting up shelf tags is terribly difficult work anyways.. But now that I think about it, I would have liked to finish my Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. The Cherry Vanilla Coke is gross, but the Dr. Pepper isn't half bad... Although it is a Pepsi product... Stupid Pepsi and their lack of cute reps...

Anywho.. My lovely Aya (Jangalian) was in a bit of a car accident. *sad face* She's alright, but I worry for her anyways. Happy thoughts and good karma go in her direction please. And right near her birthday too.. That's when I had my first car accident a couple of years ago. The week right before my birthday. Sucked. Bad.

Had a very random phone call from Sitarose and Zanorich this evening. It was really quite hilarious. And it pretty much just made my day. And hey, we've figured out a way to possibly see Our Lady Peace for free(ish). Which would be wicked awesome, seeing as I missed out on getting decent tickets for when they're playing here. I'm sure I'll figure out the details at some point..

The other latest bit of good news is that I finally managed to get into a)History of Rock and Roll (part 2) and b)Peace and Conflict (another philosophy class that was booked up solid until just tonight when I tried the web registration). So, yay me. Come September, it really will be brain stew... Goodnight everybody..

Too tired to find a song...
Well, Canada day was lovely. It was a little odd though. It was odd because I think it's the first Canada day I've spent by myself. I didn't make any plans in advance, therefore I didn't have any plans. Didn't go down to the party in the park business they do every year. And I didn't go to my friend Paige's place. Our families get together almost every year... It ended up being a bit of an emo day. Which is pathetic, I know. I'm embarassed to even admit it. Too much thinking about stuff.. *sigh* But I wanted to see the fireworks anyways, so at about 10:30 I went across town to the lake. XD By myself. They were pretty good fireworks. But the mosquitoes were pretty bad. They drank my Deep Woods OFF, and then they laughed at me. I am itchy.

Other than all that junk, I spend the afternoon looking up some new guitar tabs. Which reminds me of the bad news. The other night there was a HUGE spider crawling around on the wall.. As I was panicking and flailing around, I knocked my guitar over and now it's a little broken. It's not a great big tragedy since it really isn't a quality instrument. And it's not broken in a way that it dosen't work anymore. But still, makes me curse myself for my lame spider phobia...

Anyways. Since TKB asked, the lame one-liners have ceased to amuse me. Plus I actually took the time to read the little editorial in the little booklet I found them in...

"Probably the most thought provoking one-liner is "Eat right. Stay fit. Die anyways." It's sad but true - no matter what you do, you will die. This is because you have sinned against God.....(blah blah blah) ...If you said 'yes' to these questions then by your own admission you are a lying, theiving, adulterer at heart...."

*Facepalm* So yeah. I'm going to hell.. Who wants to join me? I'm just annoyed with myself for not reading the lame editorial in the first place... The whole booklet could have been in the round file months ago. Oh well... Goodnight everybody.

   "I love this country where I am/
This land is where I make my stand/
No other heart is truer than/
The one we call Canadian..." -Bosson (I Am Canadian - The Molson Canadian Song)

Happy Canada Day! *passes out beer and maple treats* I'm planning on going out to watch some fireworks on Saturday night. Should be good. They usually are. So pretty when they fire them off over the lake like that.. *sigh*

Oh! So, At work on Friday, I was training the new chick, (she's alright, I dont want to throw eggs at her even though she is a friend of irritating girl) and this woman comes in with a little girl of about three maybe. The kid is screaming because, apparantly, she wants candy. Who dosen't, really? So, we all know how much I hate screaming, whiny children, so I'm thinking, "how can I get this kid to shut up.." I fill a helium balloon and take it over. I say, "If you can be a good girl for mom you can take this balloon home. Is that a good idea?" I swear, she looks at me... looks at the balloon... looks back at me... opens her mouth and screams bloody murder. Turns out the kid is deathly afraid of balloons. Even after I took it away, she wouldn't quit crying.. I managed to bribe her into silence with stickers instead. *eyeroll* I swear... never having children...

On a side note, I think there's something wrong with me. My arms keep going numb. Like, not completely numb, but they have that tingly feeling, y'know? I don't know. It's weird. I think it might have something to do with the height of my current computer desk. Who knows...

Anyhow, Possible LJ post.. I feel a little bad for posting when I have done very little visiting lately. I'm being comment lazy. I'll do better! I promise! XD Have a great weekend everyone, Especially you canucks. Ehh... all... three (?) of you?

   "Time will lock you away/
And throw away the key/
Never to be seen or heard from again/
I was once like you/
But you still ain’t like me/
But you might want to think about/
Tryin’ to think about being like me/
'Cause I’ll have the time of my life ‘til I’m dead..." -Matt Mays and El Torpedo (Time of Your Life)

First of all, it's Aya's birthday! *whips out cheesecake and a pile of forks* Let us celebrate! I owe her one present, because I am a lame friend and I forgot. XD

In other news, the four Canadian seasons are as follows: winter, deep winter, still winter and construction. We are smack in the middle of construction. There are two main ways to get to my house and both are clogged up with construction. They're tearing up the park in front of my house to do some underground work. That means backhoes, large holes and piles of dirt. It's a mess.. I had to pick my sister up from one of her jobs this afternoon and what is usually a ten minute drive across town, took twenty. Pretty much every street I had to take to get there took me through friggin' construction. During rush hour traffic at 5:00pm. *facepalm* On the bright side, if I need to bury something (or someone... *shifty eyes*) I have access to large holes and a lot of dirt..

I'm sure I was going to talk about something else, but it's after midnight, and I forgot. And I have to be up for work in 7 hours. I value my sleep time. So, goodnight all..

   "Well I'm not really sure/
But I think that I missed it/
Don't ask me how/
Cause I still don't quite get it/
You could blame it on fate/
Say I'm a victim of cupid/
But I took 24 years/
To get this stupid..." -J. Englishman (Flowers For Ophelia)

Those Vonage commercials are 'effing annoying!

I was at work early on Sunday morning.. And it seemed rather useless for me to be there. All I did was put up more shelf tags and build in items from order codes. Uhh... okay, AND draw faces on balloons.. That's just fun. The helium slowly leeches out of them and they hover just around eye level, so if you draw a face on it and give it a little talking bubble, you can have some real fun with 'em. Mwahahaha!

I went to leave for the day and as I looked down from the staff room I noticed the ridiculous line ups.. Oh god.. Being the nice person that I am *cough* I offered to stay for a little longer. It was unreal.. I eventually made it home, and went out and played some tennis after dinner. I'm stil pretty pathetic, but it'll get better over the next couple of months..

And in the evening I actually had a rather nice chat with a friend who has been borderline MIA for a while.. So that was really good. Made me pretty happy. I'm sure things will get sorted out eventually. *sigh* But for now.. I go to think about stuff (owwww..) and hopefully not turn all emo on you. I plan on listening to some J. Englishman before I sleep, and I consider that my "emo" music.. even though it's not really. It's just too bad he only ever released one album. It's goood stuff.. Keep on rockin' in the free world.. Goodnight everybody..

   "This is ponderous man. Really ponderous/
I had this dream the other night/
I went to work, and nobody remembered who I was/
So I decided to take the day off..." -Two-Nu (Ponderous)

Work = yawn. Some guys from the warehouse are in and are religning pretty much the whole store, so there wasn't much for me to do except for put up new price labels on everything they had already finished with. It all looks so nice and tidy. I wonder how long it's going to stay that way... XD I mean, if people could just put things where they belong.. There are numbers on the product. Those numbers match the numbers on the shelf tag. It's the same game you were playing when you were five years old! Find the one that looks the same!

On a related side note, I really like our new head cash lady. She threw out all the junk that the old head cash lady was saving for no apparant reason, and cleaned off the desk in the office, and cleaned the junk out of the safe. And she put a potted plant and a cute glass top table in the coffee room AND bought ceramic mugs. How sweet is that?

Related side, side note, I've discovered that this chick that they've hired to be the new supervisor isn't all she's cracked up to be. She's power trippin'. She kinda likes to order people around and yell at people in notes. (I yell at people in notes too, but only when necessary) And she's new Boss' little pet (notice how it's been more than a year and I still call him new boss?). Being the pet can cause resentment in others. Plus if she ever tries to tell me what to do, I'll have to punch her in the face. There's just no other choice. I can take suggestions, but not orders.

I think I've blathered on long enough here.. So Keep on rockin' in the free world.. Goodnight everybody!
