I quit.

And so I quit. I had too. I couldn't take it anymore, I was tired of working graveyard shifts and tired of sleeping the daylight away. I need to see blue skys and the sun pass us by. I'm tired of sleeping all day and waking just in time to go to work for the evening. I need my social life back (ok ok ok, a wee bit dramatic considering I only worked there for a week). But honestly, the job was boring and not really that challenging ... and full of complete "know it alls". I was especially sick of being told to do something that earlier I was just told not to do, and sick of rolling eyes when I informed someone of this. I swear the next person that would have done it, I would have bitchslapped them so hard their future kids would have felt it. So I quit. It felt good. :-)

One HUGE reason for me quitting ... I was accepted into a trades program that I applied for. Sure I'll have lil money for the next few months, but after then, I'll be working as a First Year Apprentice Carpenter, and raking in the cash. WOO HOO.

Frozen Grand Central

Found this clip While I was blog surfing ... can't remember who posted it, but will I'll let ya know as soon as I figure it out.

Anyways, this is one of the wildest things I've ever seen.

Just another day

And so I was sitting on the couch at my moms, channel surfing with no destination in mind when I got to thinking, "I feel like a waste, I should do something."

And just then, my 6 year old neice comes running into the living room screaming the most joyous scream I've ever heard, followed by my younger cousins of the same age yelling "I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you". And around the coffee table they continue the pursuit, slamming their feet on the floor that echoes throughout the house. My cousin catches up with my neice, and "tags" her and screams "YOUR IT".

Suddenly their direction performs a complete 180 and now my neice is chasing my cousin, yelling "I'M GONNA GET YOU!" The scamper around the coffee table in the opposite direction, and then out of the living room to somewhere else in the house. Their playful screams echo.

All I can think now is "I'm tired."

one of my flickr faves

I Fell. It Hurt.

I'm definately taking it as a sign. So, on thursday I officially started my new job in the warehouse. As we all know, I've also lined up some other opportunities for me to partake in; other opportunities that I was eager to start. Therefore, when the phone call came in that I start work the next day, I was little enthused. But I figured I'd see what the job entailed; what I'd be doing, who I'm working with, and yadda yadda yadda, therefore I went.

It was ok, nothing exciting .. very few perks, 'cept for the wage. A very mediocre job. After four hours I could already see how I'd be feeling in the next few months after taking this job and knowing what I'd have passed up to do it. But, I do need money seeing as I haven't been working for two months. So I figured, working here for a week, at least I'd have some coin in my pocket.

And so after work, I went to the bank. I found a parking stall, parked. Opened the door, stepped out. And SLIPPED on a patch of ice. And now since the stall was on a slope, there was NO WAY I was stopping this fall. But, instictively I threw my hand onto the car to hold me up. It didn't work. As my hand stayed on the car, my body continued to fall the ground, thus popping my shoulder out as I fell and back in when I hit the ground, bruising the muscles.

Unfortunately, popping my shoulder is a comman occurrence, but this time it hurt bad. I went to the doctor, who told me not to use my arm for three - five days. First day on the job, and I'm already taking time off.

Yep, definately a sign.
