haha. love the simpsons!
After months of searching for better paying work, I've finally been offered a job from a friend of mine. It pays almost 3 times as much as I make now per hour, with more hours than I've been getting now and great potential of overtime. A HUGE financial step forward.
So that's the problem?
It's over 3,000 kilometers away, and the job is working on...

I am! Only problem is I have no qualifications. Which undoubtedly I need to even apply anywhere. So I'd need to sort all that out first, which could take a year at least just for that alone and I'm too late to start that this year unless there's anything at the beginning of next, otherwise it's september again! haha. Oh why can't things be simple?
bigttrack:
Let us know if you're moving forward with this opportunity. I can tell you FROM EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD, it will only open doors to bigger things.
Learn all you can about this rig and its operation. About the company you are working for. The drilling business is in the upswing of a massive boom. You can end up many different places in the world, and the dril companies are always on the lookout for people who can think. These people get promoted quickly.
Go for it, bud. Never look back.

What the fuck? I'm lonely! This doesn't happen to me.
Well this blows.
The end.

I got a call from "Tysiak R" in Etobicoke, Ontario.
I don't know anyone by that name, or anyone from Etobicoke for that matter, other than Martini.
I'm terrified of the phone, or I'd call them back to see who it was. I'm sure it was a wrong number, but you never know.
Why does the phone freak me out so much? haha

It certainly was needed. I still didn't get up til 1pm but at least I had a good 8 hours haha So, interesting news today.
I've been working at the same shite dollar store for over 4 years and anyone who's been following my blogs would know that I've been actively searching for new employment. In my first year there, I became a supervisor and all was good in the world.

still nothing from that girl last night.
I suppose I should have asked for hers rather than giving her mine. Oh well.
Back to work tomorrow. Huzzah!

If she doesn't bother to get in touch, then she's not worth it.

well, the experiment seems like it may have been successful. She wasn't even slightly put off by offering my email or the suggestion of coffee sometime. I'm to expect to hear from her later tonight, so I guess I'll see how well it went before too long.
I suppose another update is in order.
In any event, that was exciting! my heart was beating a...

Thankyou darling
Haha, I can't believe I haven't seen it before now. It has to be up there as one of the funniest films i've ever seen. The tiger is hilarious. When he's trying to give him the steak and he screams like a girl when it nearly has his hand off haha.

So I'm going to experiment today.
There's a girl who works at a local grocery store that I've had an attraction to for quite some time. I've since moved further away from said grocery store and as a result, haven't seen her and had our brief weekly movie discussion in quite a while. So I'm going to take the 35 minute walk down there later...

Lol...wtf dude? You are most definitely a nerd, but I wouldn't have you any other way
I have already honed my positive thinking skills to keep me in a good mood despite 8 hours of a terrible day at work. Rather than concentrate on how shitty of a day I'm having, I just remind myself that it won't be for long, and I'll soon be working somewhere better, making more money, and feeling like I get what I deserve.

Worst lie I've ever told would probably have to be the time I called into my co-op placement and told them my grandmother had been diagnosed with cancer. It wasn't technically a lie, as she had, but several years earlier and had completely recovered. Still, when I finally went back to work, everyone was giving their condolences, and I felt terrible as I tried to act like I was bothered, when really, my grandmother was perfectly healthy. I'm so glad I never lie anymore. Lying sucks.
I can honestly say I have never done anything mean to anyone intentionally. It's one of my highest points of pride. Of course people have gotten hurt by me over the years but every one of them as an unintentional result of actions I've taken. I've said some pretty mean things though. Probably the worst of which was "You're the worst person I've ever met, the worst person I'd ever expect to meet and the worst thing that has ever happened in my life. If I had never met you, If you didn't exist, the world would genuinely be a better place". It was said to an ex, and without a VERY long explanation, really sounds harsh. Just trust me that it wasn't said in haste, and to be honest, I still agree with every word of it.
Thanks again!
