Workin for the Weekend

Okay, I have a few days to yap about on here...


Well Curtis texted me early on Valentines and told me that he has a surprise for me. So I was thinking about it allllll day long. I got home, and he gave me a teddy bear holding a heart shaped ring box. I was like omg! Inside was some candies. So that was cool. I opened my card, and read it, and started to get a little teary eyed. Then I look up, and he's standing there with another little box. I was like omg again! He opened it up, and it's a beautiful gold and diamond heart pendant. Soooooo pretty! So I got spoiled. All he got was a card. lol. He told me that we weren't going to spend much money, and he went and did this. Silly boy he is. We sat in my room, and had pizza and wings.

The reason why we were hiding out so much is because Misty, my roommate decided to have a huge blow out at me. She had asked me to drive with her to drop some stuff off to her brother. I didn't have a chance to get back at her, so when she got home, and I went to give the phone to her, she lost it. She totally flipped out on me, and went insane. She's never done that before. She got so mad that I didn't give her a text (I was retardedly busy at work) or a phone call. Then she freaked about dishes being left in the sink, and something about my bathroom. I freaked right out on her too. I am under so much stress at work, it's not even funny! But whatever. She threatened to talk to Joe (her husband) and give me 30 days to move out. I jumped in my truck, called my mom and cried my eyes out. Then Curtis showed up, and tried to talk to me. After I got off the phone with my mom, Joe called me to see what was going on. He reassured me that Misty was just having a bad time, and that no way he was going to kick me out. The reason for that I'm sure is because they would be losing out on a lot of money from me every month.

The day after, she hid in her room. Then I heard her bawling her eyes out, and crying hysterically. I thought someone in her family had died. I consoled her the best I could, and it turned out that someone did die... The dog. I said that I would give her my credit for a plane ticket. She said thanks, and apologised for everything. I haven't talked to her since... She's gone to Edmonton now (we cancelled the flight, and she drove instead). I did text her last night to see where she was and if she needed me to look after the cat. She said someone else was coming over to do it. Felt like such a slap in the face! Whatever. Nothing I can do about it now. That's the last time we've exchange any kind of communication.


I've been talking to my mom about the Weight Watchers website she has joined. It sounded so good that I joined yesterday! My starting weight is 173 pounds, and I'm hoping to lose at least 30. Who knows if that will happen. I went grocery shopping last night to get some healthy food for my journey to my goal weight. Mom is very supportive, giving me tips and stuff. I wanted to do some boxing on the Wii last night, but it has for some reason or another disappeared... Oh well. I can just do my Turbo Jam.

I've been so busy at work lately, and stressed out. I'm working all weekend, so that's a total downer. Oh well. Few more days, and I get to go to Edmonton for 4 days.

Curtis had mentioned to me about a potential job for a different survey company, doing the same work. And more money too. The shifts are 4 10 hour shifts, so it would be 4 on 4 off. I'm hoping that maybe something could be negotiated to have a 5 and 2... because if I work a 4 and 4, I won't have the same days off as Curtis... They said that I would get a company truck, so that helps out, but I don't get the 2 hours travel that I do with this company. I feel that I've reached as far as I can go here. They are looking for 2 admin people to cover me on the contract that I am currently working on, and then I get to move to do the invoicing for the other contracts, and do running. Drive back and forth to town when they need me to. Frankly I feel like it's a slap in the face, and that I'm being demoted to "bitch work". Sad... So... I'm hoping I can talk to the guy from the other company in the next couple days. Then I'll put in my resignation with this company, go on my trip to the Dominican to get refreshed, and start over.
Here's hoping that it'll turn out good!
