Day 355

Woke up right before 12pm today, told myself I had to get up because I remembered there was a WIND phone giveaway draw thing that I wanted to go to, they were giving a phone away at 1pm, and another at 2pm, plus a free “swag bag” of goodies. So, I went down there.

When I got there though, there was nothing. I arrived just before 1pm, asked the guy, and he said “oh yeah, there’s like … a draw. At around 1.30 maybe.” I was like oh…. ok. No free stuff, nothing. He wasn’t very helpful.

Waited there until 2pm, nothing at all. They were talking about it with the Blockbuster people saying how they’re not allowed to enter it, but should get their friends down because there’s no one bothering with it” I was still waiting in Blockbuster and was pissed off by this time! I wanted free stuff, and I wanted to enter the draw!

Sarah finished work, this was now after 2pm, still nothing. So I thought whatever. And left. Very annoyed with you WIND, no longer will I recommend you. I figured today might make me like them again after the incident of them hanging up on me. But nope, just made me more angry. Eh!

Anyways! We went to Metrotown and saw Soul Surfer, the movie based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton – the surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack, but still went on to be a pro surfer. It was good. I remember hearing about it when it happened too.. Crazy stuff.

After the movie we just came home.. I watched a movie on TV called With Honors. It has Brendan Fraser in it.. interesting movie. Kinda old though.

Anywhoo, going to slowly head off to bed, I might be asleep by 1am! Wouldn’t that be crazy! Night!

Day 354

Couldn’t sleep in again today 😦 it sucks. I also couldn’t be bothered going out early to see a movie before work, so instead I just went in for work.

I went to the office before I started and got more bug spray on my bite as well as another band-aid. That bug spray stuff helps the itch for a couple of hours, so it’s good!

There was 5 of us in Outtakes tonight. Hectic. Mary was being trained in there, so Danny was her trainer, which is why there was an extra person. But even 4 people is still so many even for Friday night! It’s usually only 3. Those two finished at 8 though, so then it was just three of us. 4 if you count Keith who basically spent the whole night in Outtakes instead of Burger King! Haha!

Anywhoo.. break was spent with Ashley, Keith & Brett. Chilled. Then back to work. It was pretty crazy. Aaron – the Seth Rogen look-a-like – pulled me out of Outtakes tonight to help clean 2 theatres for floor, they were short a few or something, or had a major time issue.. Not sure. But basically I went into theatre 2, cleaned there for like 10 minutes if that, then was rushed to theatre 1 to start the clean there. It was intense haha. New respect for the floor staff… Even though even they say it’s the easiest job. LOL.

I was out on the floor for maybe half an hour – 40 minutes, and it felt like 15 minutes if that! So I’m kind of jealous of how fast it went being on the floor! Time in Outtakes goes SO SLOW!

Tonight I didn’t get out until about 5 past 12. We had a little … erm.. issue? In Burger King. I don’t really want to mention the issue, because I do mention where I work… LOL so it wouldn’t be wise! But basically I stayed back an extra 40+ minutes to help with that, and finish dishes. Pretty funny night. We scored Tim Hortons gift cards for staying back ages 😀 Scoreeeeeeeee!

Anywhoo, I was falling asleep on the Skytrain home. I also JUST made the bus, like there was another bus half an hour later, but I didn’t want to wait pfft. So I like ran down the stairs, and ran to the bus. He had the doors closed & was driving off but another girl & I were basically like banging on the door for him to let us on haha, he wasn’t too pleased… Meh!

Skyped Angie before lol funny kid. Oh and I also extended my travel insurance, so that’s finally taken care of. I feel like I need to get injured just to make use of all the money I spent on insurance!! Now, if I could just man up and book my flights… I’m also back down to $7k now once I book the flights. Sigh. Life savings has reached only $7k! Clearly the car I buy when I return is going to have to be a total shitter. So much for the ute then hey? BUT I NEED THE UTE FOR THE CARNIVAL! 😦 … Which I’m still very keen & serious on doing! …Anyone?! Haha!

Okay, I’m off to bed now. Night!
