Coming thru… i did my first Mac install today. It was as easy a tick, ok, password, done. Can not get much easier than that. It took longer to setup the PC that it took to do the sharing. I love it, it is sooo simple. God bless Mac, and may you all one day experience the richness and fullness of its goodness.
Amen
So i had an argument with my beer store boss. I am taking this weekend off to go to Calgary. Yes it was a little last minute, although i did give the a weeks notice, before i left, and the roster for that week hadn’t been done at all. In total im taking 3 days off “beer store” work. Never mind the fact that i have been working 4-6 nights a week for the whole summer, working around 58-75hrs a week. On top of my normal job, he was complaining that i took the time off. I didn’t ask for it, i didn’t discuss it with him. With all have done pretty much supporting the beer store at night, i think what i did was fair. He wanted to know why i didn’t talk about it eariler, i told him cause it was a last minute thing.
Another thing i did was told them that i am going to 2 days a week, by the end of the month. They hired a guy the next day. Sure i can see that a note isn’t the best way to do it, but when your boss is really busy and you are too, you don’t have time to chat things over.
I am pissed cause well. This is the 3rd time i have taken time off all summer. The first took 2 weeks to get off and they only told me a day before that i got it off. I wasn’t able to do anything, cause i was meant to go camping, but couldn’t cause i had no ride. I was pissed. The second time, was 2 days, so in total i think i have had so far, not including these ones coming up, 4 days off. He was complaining that he couldn’t go camping, he had postponed it from early august. Boo frickin hoo, your a boss, you run a business. I think he has had a lot of time down in Kewlona, Veron etc over summer. I can recall about 5 times he has gone away.
I asked him what he wanted me to do, he wanted me to take it another time. I told him that it wasn’t possible. That i was going to a anniversary, and i couldn’t change 50 peoples itinerary. He asked me a few times to change my holiday. Fuck him, he can take his lardy ass somewhere else, i have worked my butt of for him, and he bitches about me taking 3 days off. I was almost ready to quit on his ass last night. I will keep on going with my 2 days a week till i leave. I want to come back to help my immediate boss, as she is nice. I feel that she gets a raw deal, and don’t want to fuck her over. The other big boss, he can go fuck himself. I’m pissed, and ranting. Grrr made me so mad, jerk.
I love how when someone else starts blogging, that i know of. I tend to start to want to blog more too. Besides the fact that i am not working as much any more. Hurray! no more 60 hour weeks. I will get to ENJOY the last of summer and the begining of fall (autum) I was dying from working so hard, but hey. I got to my goal for savings so that made things all the much better. Now i can write to you, do my mac course that i have been planning on doing all summer long. Also i can catch up with firends and have some fun!
I had a quick chat tonight with my sis, in NZ and my mum in AUS. God i love skype. I just wish i could do a 3 way video call. That would be cool. I think my folks need a higher plan bandwidth. The picture i get from her is all blocky and distorted. She also can not work out how to plug in the head phones, even though the mac only has 2 places it can go. she is unable to work it out.
So i’m looking forward to catching up on sleep, eating better and then getting fitter. Ski season is coming, i need to start getting my legs in shape. I actually bought ski boots the other day. They are Dalbello Aerro 40’s. They were brand new for under 200 dollars. I love them, and they are the best thing you can get for my money. So now i need to get some ski’s but they could come later.
Well Zoey got her first bath today. I nice wipe down of isopropyl alchohol. She is looking much cleaner and seems happy now too. I give her the occasional dusting with an compressed air too. To keep her “eyes” clean. She is still as pretty as the day i got her, all those months ago. I have put up photos on flickr about it too.
Oh my, not sure how much longer i can do the double shifts. I am now starting to have trouble sleeping. I get home just after eleven. I have a glass of wine, watch some toob, then go to bed, its around 12 when i get there. I then try and sleep, wait 40mins, nothing, so i cruise the net for fun stuff. I found this via a friend, Beached whale wakes up in NZ. Its funny, so that took me on a weird hunt for other things. Didn’t come up with anything else good yet. Might do later on though.
I’m just listening to a random selection of songs from itunes, it is suprising me how random and good they are. I have had to find all my music that i lost to a corrupt hard drive, awesome! I am liking the selection cause well, it is making me think about past loves and ponder on the things that are important to me. hmmm….back to pondering and working hard!
Well we had the first townie bike race of the season. It was a poker hand type race. Where you have clues that you have to follow and then get a poker hand card at each spot. I ended up with nothing. However the good thing that was i came first in the sprint home. It was awesome, everyone was slow off the mark. And good old Franklin was fast and strong to pull thru. It was cool. The victory prize however was funny. It was a sticker book, with no sticker! hello, i wanted stickers. Alas i didn’t get any.
Apart from that selection of fun, i have been working steady and should exceed my savings goal by quite a bit. So that is awesome. 2 jobs really helps you to save.
