it has been more than a week
i think this has been the longest i have ever gone without posting a blog post. there have been a few reasons... number 1 being that i've been way too busy with uni... and number 2 being because i wanted my first post as an 18 year old post 18th party, to be about my party. and when i say my party... i actually mean the party of both me and lucy... but it is far too hard to articulate that... let alone write it.but yes. it was a good night... and i think everyone had a totally rad time. well they better have... or i'll hunt them down with a large stick.
here are some mad photos for you to all make your own decision on its coolness.
yeah... we were too cool
lucy got loads of lovin
salona dressed as me
yey for 18!
cake
sex.
geeks
yes.
lou and polly spooning in pollys shorts.today was relatively good. i bought a coat, and a jumper. woo! go me! and mum bought me like... a lot of undies and bras. so yey!
however... the day before that, and right before i went shopping... was mega crap.
thursday and friday i basically did 3 assignments in 48 hours. plus i had two shifts at work (one of which ended horribly) and i got about 8 hours sleep all up.
the assignments have now been handed in, although unfinished.
on my friday shift at work, i was closing with lucy. all went super, up until i put my security code into the little security alarm cod box... thing...
i put in the number, and i didnt think it sounded right when it beeped at me to tell me it was armed. however, i hadn't used my new code... ever, and i hadn't set the alarm myself in a month or so,, so i wasn't 100% positive that it was armed. and i dont like palying around with them, incase i blew the shop up or something, so i closed the safe, and locked all the doors and then left.
Later that night i got a call from my boss telling me that i hadn't turned the alarm on, and that I was fired, and to come and see her in the morning. (you may think that it was a bit harsh to fire me there and then... but we just recently got a new policy that allows me to be fired on the spot for not locking and securing the place right... there had been a few incidents in other stores with this)
So Amy and I drank our sorrows away. and in the morning i woke up feeling like absolute shit, knowing i was being fired officially that day.
The walk to work felt like it was an hour long... and when i finally got there (after a slight detour cos they were doing track maintenance on the railway) i was even more vervous than when i went for my job interview with them.
However, my boss explained to me that i still had a job (yey!) and that she realises that it wasn't entirely my fault. (yes... we blamed it on the shitty alarm machine.... thing.)
I do have an official written warning though. how uncool is that?
its funny how when you think you are fired you automatically start thinking of all these horrible things. i wont give examples... but i know what im talking about, and thats all that matters to me.
on friday, i also bought a tamagotchi. its version 3 (yes... i dont know when version 2 came out either?) - his name is stanford... except im only allowed to have 5 letters for his name, so i had to shorten it to stan.
at first he was annoying. then i learnt how to put him on pause.
that is all.
