*hugs everyone*
Wee!!! I was missed! ^_^ Boy do I feel loved! So before I get off track, let Tiffy tell you about my jobs. I finally got away from cold stone and started working at the pastry cafe that opened up right next to it. Talk about awkward... Now you'd think this would be my dream job, but I wasn't actually baking or anything like that. I was a barista. For those of you who don't know, a barista is the person who makes coffee's, smoothies, ect. Now the owner, the main owner cause it was a joint partnership, also owned and ran the bakery that supplied the cafe with all the desserts. He told me that since they didn't need anyone in the bakery at the time that they would have me work in the cafe for a while till things calmed down, then they would transfer me over to there. That seemed fair after all. Yeah, until I turned out to be really good at my job as a barista that is.. Since I had nothing else to do I was available to work all day shifts, I had to say no to evenings though since that lasts till after midnight and not having a car there was no way I was going to be catching a bus downtown at that time. I ended up being their main day shift barista which was ok, till they ended up with no other day shift barista's and had me come in every damn day! Course it still got worse from there... But I'll have to save that for monday... *laughs* Toodles! ^_^

Guess who's back!
^_^ Man, has it really been so long since I've been here? Sheesh.. And here I was thinking it was only a few months.. Wow, am I ever ashamed.. Oh well! No use crying over spilled milk! Haha. :3 I'm back and that's what matters! How is everyone? I'm sorry if I worried you guys, I promise I'm just fine. I'm still using the library to post so disappearing will happen sometimes, hopefully not as long as before. In June someone actually broke into the library and took all the computers! Who does that?! Seriously?! And just this week was the library able to get more, after putting bars on the back doors and windows that is. How sad.. Now it's like we're in a really dangerous place or something.. Sheesh.. Well, my meager time is almost up so I'll post more tomorrow. I'll tell you about the jobs I've had, one of which played a part in me not getting online for far too long. Toodles!

Becoming a Canadian is hard...
>.< So I went to a site to see what I have to do to become a permanant resident in Canada and it takes more than I thought! Ugh... I have a long way to go before I can live there permantly it seems.. Gotta save a whole lot, get a job visa then try to find a job, a place to live, then work for like a few years there, then I might actually qualify for permanent resident. Well, gotta take it one step at a time, ne?
In other news, I told one of my bosses that next week will be my last at Cold Stone. You'd think I had slapped her the way she looked at me. So she's upset now, big deal. I told her ages ago I was going to start looking for another job and at the time she said she'd give me a raise. Months later and no raise. Did she really think I wouldn't notice? So yeah, she said I was working for the enemy and that she would tell Gus, her husband/the owner, on me. *shrugs* If I meant that much to them then they would have made an effort to actually keep me there. Enough said.

*jumps onto a random lap and purrs*
Hi hi peeps! Now what the hell was I going to say? .... Oh yeah! A baker or some crap will be opening up down the street from Cold Stone and you can bet your ass I'm putting an app in! *clenches fists* I hope I get in I can't wait to leave Cold Stone behind! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Ahem.. Anyway, about the text thing. Sure I could talk on the phone, but you must understand. I HATE talking on the phone. Why? *shrug* Lack of social skills probably. I've just never been a phone kind of person, alright. I end up just saying nothing at all and wishing I could hang up. I bought my phone for texting and calls from work and family. That's it really. Not to say if you have a problem and really need to speak doesn't mean I won't pick up. I will talk to you if you really need it, I just prefer to text. Although I might mention I don't use text speak. Why? I don't know. Texting is just another way to hold a real conversation to me is all.

Hello loves!!! *gives hugs and candy*
Guess who got off work early today? *dances* Why? The blast freezer where we hold the cakes to firm them up broke! Not funny, I know but all the cakes in it melted and the guys who needed to fix it didn't show for hours so my boss let me go home! Yay!! ^__^
On a quick note since I'm not on a lot and I miss you guys I was thinking messaging! I got a new cell and got unlimited messaging, so if anyone wants my number to message me let me know and I'll pm it to you. ^_^ Yay!!

OMG! Has it really been THAT long since I've last been here?!
*groans and shakes head* I'm so bad.. I never meant to stay away so long, really I didn't! I haven't been depressed or anything like that. I just.. forgot... and being lazy has it's part to play too I suppose... ^_^; Oops.. Sorry guys! I'll try to update more often! So now to what's been up with me lately.
Well, I finally got myself a job! Yay!! *dances* I work at Cold Stone Creamery and I make and decorate the cakes. ^_^ If you don't know what Cold Stone is look it up, and if you do look it up anyway and look at the cakes and feel my greatness. lol Anyway, I've been working there since.. um sometime in June and.. I HATE IT!! That place is a slave shop in disquise!!! O_O HELP!!!! The bosses could order you to walk off a cliff and die with a smile on their faces!! *deep breath* ... Ok, so it's not THAT bad, but it sure isn't the happy-go-lucky good time you might think it is if you come by. I would rather not go into details at this time, but I know they're sure working me to death. The owner, Gus, of the store I work at opened another store which is actually much closer to my house. Now, they have me go over there and start making cakes, like I'm some kind of machine, to fill the new 90 cake holding freezer they have. Did I mention he also wanted me to make extra? Now when this store finally opens they decide to keep me at the other store, despite it being a two bus ride for me to get there while the new one is a 15 minute walk. And never mind that the new store is in fact teh one I had acutally auditioned for, yes audition (check their website). On top of all that they started working me on both stores! Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at the downtown store and Thursday at the Grosse Point store(the new one). Odd as it was I didn't think it would be too bad. How wrong I was.. First off you need to know that these are ice cream cakes and making them isn't like making regular cakes. There's the building step, and the topping step which is when we frost and decorate them after they're hard enough which takes about 6 or 7 hours, for teh round pans anyway.. Building cakes has got to be one of the most boring, annoying, and at times frustrating things to do, but it's got to be done anyway. So tell me why nearly every time I go to the Grosse Point store I end up having to build those God Damn Cakes?! Yes decorating is easy and fun, but it's not right that I hardly get to do it because there aren't any built cakes in the freezer!! >_< And it's not just at the Grosse Point store either! Downtown there is another cake person, believe it or not. She works the afternoon shift. Oh, another thing I forgot to mention, they have me coming in at 6 AM!! They don't open till 11! Ugh.. So anyway, she always tops tops tops! Does she refill the pans? Hell no! And when she does it's mostly with teh least popular cakes that we have too many of anyway! Why? Cause the ice cream those require is always softer and is easier to scoop. *grumble grumble* I hate the hard ass ice cream of the popular cakes too, but I still build them. And build and build and build.. *sighs* Do you know I've scooped that hard ice cream and build those damn cakes so damn much all the time that it's affected my whole right arm? It hurts when I move it around, I think I have carpal tunnel, and my fingers sometimes lock up on me when I wake up and try to flex them. I know what you're thinking, but telling my bosses has produced no help and I'd gladly quit but I have no other job. So in the meantime I'm job searching, being a bit lazier in my job (why should I bust my ass and suffer when no one else is?), and sleeping like a rock all the time.
And THAT ladies and gentlemen, is why I haven't been around so much. *bow* Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to grab something to eat before hitting the record button on my VCR and going to sleep. Grosse Point awaits me tomorrow.. At least I come in at 10 there.. I'll try to visit everyone's sites tomorrow.. If I get off in time to get to the library that is.. Otherwise I'll see you guys Saturday.. (Did I mention tehy want me to work Saturdays now too? *scoff* Madness!)

Ok, so before I forget the dream! .... Well I have actually forgotten most of it by now, but I do remember that I was pregnant with SomeGuy's baby!!! O.O *hides from angry mob made up of SG's stalkers* The thing about that was he didn't even know and I wasn't going to tell him! *blink* Maybe I made him drunk to get his sperm.. *nod nod* Makes sense to me. *laughs* Not like I've been thinking about impreganting myself with his sperm or anything.. Not recently anyway.. >.> *laughs more*
In other news... There is none! ^_^ It's been raining for days and it's making me sleepy. Otherwise nothing's been going on. *wave wave* Later guys!

*rolls around because of boredom*
-.- Is bored right now... My Kelsey't not online, I think the library put up a new restriction so now I can't log onto Yahoo's messenger (same with AIM), I want ice cream and a new video game, and I want a nice long nap. *sigh* Don't feel like typing much so tommorrow I'll tell you about the dream I had last week. James, although you weren't really in it you played a part in the dream. *shakes head* You should be ashamed of yourself... Tsk tsk.
