So Unsure

For the last 4 or 5 months I've been working at the airport Starbucks which at first I loved. Nice people, great managment, 15min drive home on the highway. Now that I live in Halifax though it's a 1/2 hour drive and while I still really like all the managment some of the other co workers and I aren't getting along so long. I've never thought of myself as a hard person to work with but recently I've been almost to the point of depressed after my shifts. If I'm not being yelled at then someone is snapping at me or giving me additude. I don't think I can handle it much longer. It's like everything i do is taken in the wrong way. For example if I bust my ass off to get everything done after the gate is closed at 9 so the lead hand can just work on their paper work and not have to worry about anything else then I'm told I rush out too fast and how all I care about is how fast i can get home. It's just so insanely negitive. I think i might be able to work with mom though. Its more an hour and i'd save money on gas. I hate to leave the managment there but it may be the only way. I don't like feeling like crap after every shift. I just don't know what to do about it....

I miss my car...

Denial and Isolation...thats the first of the 5 stages of mourning and while it may seem a little extreme to some of you I have mourned and now miss my car terribly. After denial and isolation comes anger, which I had plently of. Then it's blame and guilt, ya know the 'what if I had only...' The fourth stage is depression, this part lasted a good long time and then of course accepetance. Well after 2 months with no car and a whole lot of stress, yelling and screaming I've finally had enough. I dunno whats worse fighting with the bank over their stupid mistakes or fighting with Dad just to try and get him here in time so I'm not late for work. Now don't me wrong I'm very thankful that Mom and Dad are helping me out but ya all know them and anyone whose knows our family knows that our parents have this issue with being on time, THEY NEVER ARE! It's insanely frustrating and I get pretty cranky about the whole thing. I just want this all settled so I can drive myself to and from places including work. I hate not being able to get around on my own, I feel like a frickin' 3 yr old. For those of you who even have the thought of the bus pop in their heads, forget it. Not only is the Metro Transit unreliable it doesnt do airport trips so I'd still have no way to work. Plus as spoiled as this sounds I don't 'do' buses, unless I'm drunk or something...they scare me....well the people do anyways lol.

Connection estabilished


Well it's been a week and a bit and I havent been kicked out yet lol. In fact I am really enjoying living with Lee and Jen. As of an hour ago i have my own internet connection on my laptop. YAY for wireless routers. So I spent yesterday in Char'town, PEI for the 2006 QMJHL draft. It was a great expreiance and hopefully the start of the many more drafts for me to be attending. I was speaking with an old buddy of mine and he gave some really good advice and I may even have an opportunity as a scout for a well known scouting service. Thats all I'm gonna say about that so I dont jinx anything. Trust me you'll all know if it works out for me. On Thrusday Jen and I chaperoned Elizabeths prom the above is a pre-prom picture. It was a ton of fun and Elizabeth really was the prettiest girl in the room that night.

I'm offically relocated

On Thrusday morning I woke up and started packing. I was totally hungover and had like a total of 2 hours worth of sleep. It was my own fault so I can't complain much about it. With the help of Josh, Mom and Tyler (friend) by the end of the day all my stuff had been moved from the house in Dartmouth to Lee and Jens place. Apparently I have too much stuff and tired out the boys quite a bit with the crazy heavy boxes. Most of it thrown in randomness around the master bedroom. Jen helped me put up my 2 desks and my bed that night. Soon you could even see Jacindas small amount of belongs and her bed. On Friday I was scheduled to work 1pm-9pm. Even though I got sent home early I was in too much pain to do much unpacking. The pain was pulled muscles in both my legs. Still hurts a ton actually. Anyways I got up this morning and seeing as I can't stand a mess I started unpacking the boxes. It's almost done now, just got some clothes to put away. I so excited that even with the stress of the short notice everything seems to have worked out. I love Lee and Jen (enough though they still play D&D =P) and the kids are awesome. Everyone really does seem happy to have me here. Hockey season will be insane here though. Can't wait for those debates and yelling matches Lee and I are famous for. Well I'm gonna leave it at that now. Will post later on guys...byes XOXO
