Just Venting

grrr...my friend Ap is really getting on my nerves. She's just too pushy! And the things she say about the other job (it's like supposed to be my third job - insurance, networking...that kind of think) is supposed to be encouraging but it just comes out wrong! Ok, so I know most of the time she means well and not just doing it for personal gain but she thinks that never mind. Bottom line: the way she talks about how I decide to spend my time with my two jobs is down grading, depressing and full of b*ll sh*t! One of these days, I don't know when it would be (because she did put a lot of effort for me to be successful in this one, it's just not my thing right now), I'll tell her that I'll let go of that career for now. grrr...

anyway, that one just happened, over text messaging of all things. Other than that, the rest of my was a snooze. There really wasn't much to do in the office. I've been playing neopets, cross stitching, and web surfing. Both of my boss are not here, that's why. Yesterday I had some work in the office but not that much either. I had to work on my other job last night also so I was kind of tired this morning. I have work tonight also. I'm glad I was able to give away my shift for tomorrow night so I can at least rest. Anyway, that's it...just venting...

Unexciting, totally predictable

The other day I worked both jobs. The day job was still a little bit slow but for some reason I seem busier. I worked with the new ASM at night, she's cool...we'll see, I guess. We got out earlier so that's a good thing. The schedule for the next week was posted also and I got tired just by looking at it! I was scheduled to until 12:45am from Monday-Friday, which means for an entire week I won't have sleep. So I called around to get my shift on Wednesday covered. Luckily, people needs hours so it wasn't hard to find someone to work for me. So my 68 hours is nw 62 hours (the Wednesday shift was just 4 hours). At least I'll be able to rest in the middle of the week before I continue on.

Yesterday I actually worked...or pretended hard to work. Anyway, I didn't work at my night job last night so it was alright. It's a good thing I don't have insomnia attacks anymore and I was able to sleep whenever I go to bed.

Today I got up early because we had a potluck. I had to stop by at Starbucks to get a coffee traveler. I guess I understimated how I function in the morning because I got at work at 7:30am - no one was here yet! But it was cool, I got to day dream...whoever said that day dreaming was free...I was getting paid to do that! hehe...
It was also arts and crafts today. While my co-worker was learning how to sew, I was doing my cross stitch - which I haven't done in years because I had no time. Apparently, Monday and Tuesday would be the same because the BOSS won't be here.

Anyhow, I should go home now. Since I only blog when I'm at the office (coz I'm not doing anything), I guess I'll be back next week to write about my unexciting, totally predictable life.

Joy

So how bored was I yesterday? Well, I was able to create a website with two pages (under construction still, mind you): http://geocities.com/ooozymandiaz/NiGhT_ViEw

It got a little busier toward the end of my day job but all in all it was fine. I also worked at my other job last night. That was a little bit more tiring but at least not as much as it tired me the last couple of weeks. I got to talk to C on the phone during my half-hour break last night...I haven't really talked to her that much since I moved down south so it was nice catching up with her. Huh...I don't even have much to say today...it's interesting how someone is supposed to be productive, having two jobs and all, just to realize that you feel anything but. I think my head is now full of air. I already know that I'm not making sense as a I'm typing this. But who cares? Anyway, I should probably pretend to work or else they'll realize they don't need me and fire me...joy...

Good Week So Far

Veeerrryyy slow here at the office. But who's complaining? I'm getting paid to sit around, browse the internet, play games (some of them)...I can't access my personal e-mail, though. The company internet blocks personal mails (yahoo, hotmail) and some game sites. So here I am once more, blogging my time away.

Yesterday at work, since both my boss and my boss' boss left by 2pm (and I supposedly had to stay until 5pm), I reconstructed my sites at neopets (yes, that's the game site I play at), surfed the web, did a little work (and there really was just little work to be done) and went home at about 4:30pm. See, I wasn't that bad...I left work only 30 minutes before I had to.

After work I cleaned my room because it's been ages since the last time I actually did it. It's not spectacular but at least it's cleaner than it used to be. I did a little laundry, ate dinner and was on bed by 9pm.

Not much happening today at the office, either. Most of the things I had to do were done by 9am. Just little things here and there to do, things that take only 5 minutes to finish, 10 when I triple check that those were done correctly. Most of the time I was just playing and surfing the web. Having a slow day time job is a good thing, especially on the days like this...the day when I have to go to my other job at night. At least I can actually look forward to my weekend because I actually have it off - without requesting it!

So, all in all, it's a good week so far.

Blessed

Well, I finally had a weekend off. I don't have to work weekends on my full-time job but I'm usually scheduled to work weekends on my part-time one. But since I already had plans, I asked for the weekend off.

On Saturday (my birthday!), we were supposed to go to a wedding in the morning. My parents went because they were sponsors but my eldest bro, my sis and I went straight to the reception. It was too early for me since I worked the night before and got off at 1am. My sister pointed out also that they put their gift on the bed the night before, which I completely missed because I just crawled to my bed and slept. My parents (ok, my sis and eldest bro also) bought me the pair of earrings with matching necklace with my birthstone (peridot). I've worn it that day. We left the reception at about past 4pm. Then we went to dinner for my birthday dinner, just my family. After that, we went to our family friend's house because he was also celebrating his birthday. His bday was actually Thursday but since no one would be able to come (my parents had the wedding rehearsal, the rest of us had work), he decided to had his get-together at his house on Saturday.

On Sunday after church and lunch, my second older brother took me to the mall and bought me two shoes! He's really a sweetheart. After that, I went to get my oil change because my car was already over 1,000 mileage from the recommended oil change. At 4pm, my friends picked me up and we went out for my birthday. We played miniature golf, raced (my neck still hurts from the go cart!), and ate dinner. Then we hang out at DoMi's house and chatted until about 11pm. They also gave me great gifts!

And now I'm back at work, but just one today because I asked for the day off (again) from the other job. I am extremely thankful for my family and friends. I really felt love over the weekend. I still do. I might complain about some parts of my life, about the way I look (not a lot of people are satisfied with the way they look, anyway)...but I am extremely thankful because I know how blessed I am.

Both of them

I'm feeling better. I was sick on Friday - and still went to both jobs. Geez, I wonder why I got sick :/ the entire weekend was also devoted to work. I must be suicidal subconsciously for abusing my body so much. Nevertheless, I tried making it up with my body by drowning from hot tea, cough drops and antibiotics. I don't cough as much anymore, nor do I have as bad of congestion as I had on Friday. I was also finally been able to go to church on Sunday since I didn't start work until 1:15pm.

Now, the problem of the petites - in every aspect...I was trying to find working shoes (pump shoes or any closed-toe shoes) over the weekend but with no luck. Apparently stores around here don't carry a lot of size 5. Now, is it my fault that I was born with small feet? Bummer...

Yesterday I just worked half a day in the office and took the day off from the other job. I didn't do it for the sake of resting, mind you. I had a natural interview - which I passed, missing one question. I should get my certificate in a month. Even though the interview itself was probably just about 5 minutes, I had to wait for more that 2 hours. I should've brought a book. I got home at around 5:30pm. Nobody wanted to cook so we had burgers for dinner. I left to go to K's house at around 8pm to hang out with my girls. It was fun...we talked, we laughed, we ate (some more; this time hotdogs, buttermilk rice and mexican rice) and they got scared (I love scaring them...it's so easy!). We left there before 10pm since everyone has work the next day.

And so here I am. Back at work. Both of them.

Amuse me

Well, I'm afraid juggling two jobs - accumulating 60-70 working hours - is finally taking a toll. I'm starting to cough and beginning to lose my voice. A couple of days ago after work on my day job (I'm off on my second job), I decided to take a nap. I had an alarm clock set for the next day just in case I actually fall asleep. I normally wake up at 6ish in the morning and start at 8am so imagine how much I panicked when I looked at the clock and it was quarter to 8! I bolted upright and was about to hurry out the door when I realized that it was quarter to 8 at night! Geez...talkin about workaholic paranoia! In any case, yesterday I worked both jobs, waking up at past 6am and sleeping at about 1:30am. My schedule for today is pretty much the same. It's a good thing that I'm actually going to be able to sleep in tomorrow since I don't start work until 4:15pm. I also got a phone call from one of my gal pals telling me that she was going to have dinner tonight, and of course, I can't come. Then another friend dropped by work last night and when she saw me, she told me that I looked like I lost weight! Now, it might not seem alarming but anyone would be alarmed as I was when they find out that on an average day, I weigh 95 lbs. My weight never passed 100 lbs. Although I know that this is normal for my body type, I really want to gain weight. But to lose it? I'll be bridging between normal body index and anorexia - and that can easily happen since it's hard for me to gain weight but easy to lose. Some people think I'm lucky to have this body type, and though I am grateful most of the time, it is also scary because it's riskier. I'm more prone to get sick (low immune system - and I must be suicidal for working two jobs) and prone to dehydration. In any case, I try to be healthy by exercising (mostly outside of gym - hiking, etc.) though I don't have much time for it lately. I haven't checked my weight yet but I don't think I lost that much - yet. I'll make it up this Saturday at my friend's wedding reception, ironically, also my birth date.

Well, I should probably get back to work...or try to find more things to amuse me.

I'm getting old

Well, it's been helluva long time since I last posted. I've extremely busy - at some point. The times when I wasn't busy, I was just lazy ;) So why am I posting right now? Because I'm bored. I'm at work right now with nothing to do because I finished 95% of my paper works yesterday, and everything else by 9:30am this morning. People around here warned me about working too fast lest I have nothing to do. I should've listened. I guess working in a slower pace takes getting used to. Well, I'll try to remember what I did the last few months, though not as detailed as my previous posts.

I transferred store in April nearer my parent's house and moved back in with them. For the life of me I can't remember what I did on May. There were cousins and niece who graduated on June, all graduations I couldn't attend but was able to go to the dinner with a couple of them. My younger brother also left for his boot camp on June. He joined the Coast Guard Army on January. First weekend of July my friends from the north visited me and we went to LV. I was tired, I got off work at 1am and they picked me up at 5am. I slept on the drive. We stopped by at SD to pick up another friend and then off to LV. It was fun, we went to a club then we went to watch a concert. Above 110 degrees the entire weekend. Like an open sauna! The weekend after was my sister's and mom's birthday and my parents' anniversary. We ate out to celebrate those occasions and then we had a family trip the weekend after at PS. It was sooo hot over there. 115 degrees (if I remember it correctly) when we got there, and 120 degrees for the remanding two days but we had fun. We rode the tram, went hiking (although not extensively because my brothers were complaining - not in shape!), and went to the zoo. The animal show was cancelled because it was too hot for the animals. The last week of July I had a job interview at ARC (am) and got hired that afternoon. So I stepped down from my position at the store I'm working at now so I can be a regular employee. The job at ARC is M-F 8-5 (full-time) so I'm keeping my other job PT that way I can save and pay off all my debts.

I haven't really been going out. I remember vaguely going out to dinner with my girl friends when I came back home but we were mainly just hanging out DoMiE's house playing pool. This month, we went to the "adult arcade" to celebrate K's bday. My friends (south) and I don't go out anymore unless there's an occasion because we're all in a budget. So that's my life so far. Not as exciting, but still exhausting. What can I say but I'm getting old.
