Steady As She Goes

Okay the title only refers to the song I"m listening to at the moment. It's really catchy and gets tuck in my head. . . alot.

So the last week has been good. I haven't worked since sunday, but I have to work fri and sat and maybe sunday. I also have to make sure Cathy got the sheet asking for evenings off all toros performance week. If not, I'll have to tell her I can't make those shifts and won't come in. I've put too much time and effort into TOROS not to do he performance, I love it to much, and a job is just a job. . .sure in the long run it's a benefit but I REFUSE to miss my last TOROS shows ever. I'm sure it'll be no big deal.

On the work front, its okay I really feel nothing towards it. I hate the people who get angry when they think I'm being too slow ( i work as fast as I can, I don't deliberatly slow down to fuck up ur time, trust me you aren't that important) or when I have to page for a SKU number cuz people are too stupid to grab the one with the tag( and if there is no tag on the one in ur size, grab one of another size and bring it up with u. I'll give u the right size one and scan the other one!!!!!!!) I still haven't sold any credit cards or rewards cards, but i'm not trying to hard. Most ppl are in a hurry and say no anyways. If i get fired for that well hey I dont' really care. If i don't i plan on applying to blockbuster when i'm 18 anyways. I know the subject matter, movies like me and vice versa.lol

TOROS is almost over, we've officially learned every single number. Sunday is the first dress rehersal. ahhhg I can't wait to find out what colour cat I am! I hope black or grey.

First Shift

Today is my first actaul shift. The other three days I worked the cash register but we always had some training or something first. Today I go in, work for 4 hours and then go home. I"m so freaked out, but at the moment I feel kind of calm. Whatever happens, happens. Work sucks.lol but it's money, which I need.

Went to the college yesterday to right my english test and get a tour. I"m actaully really excited for school. It's gonna be fun.

TOROS is almost over :( My last year (Most likely) I"m glad I get to go to the mall preview on saturday, those are always so much fun :D

2nd day

well 2nd day done. Much better. I've decided with a great pep talk from my mother (who is an awesome woman btw) that I'm going to jsut suck it up and change my own attitude about work and fear. It's all in my head and I controll my head.

going to kyles house to watch canadas next top model finale. sisi better win.

First Day

Well I had my first day yesterday. It wasn't too bad. there were 5 of us one my age, one in her 20s and two older ladies. We spent the whole time practicing different price overrides on the registers and scanning things. I don't remember half of it. I have the feeling I want to quit again, but i refuse. Being a cashier is no ones idea of a great job but it's money and it's a job. I have to go back tonight, with no idea where to meet people ( The lady just vaguely answered my question when I asked the second time shes done so) i guess I'll wander around until I find them. Plus I had to leave yesterday at 7 and they weren't done so I didn't get my shirt which I 'll have to do today. gah. Deep breath. Younger people then me can do this, christ stupider people can probably do this. It'll be a learning experience either way.

I know I can do this job, but I'm still scared shitless and I don't know why, but it sucks and it hurts.

Tornado

Well this has been a crazy week. Yesterday we had a HUGE MASSIVE storm sweep through the area, with several tornados, well not officially but people ahve been reporting seeing them and I saw a HUGE funnel cloud from my window. It was pretty creepy. They've declered state of emergency in two nearby towns. It was insane.

I have a job now. I start in about an hour and a half. I am going to be a cashier at Zellers. I m scared, although I know in my head I can do it I just don't know wthat to expect which i hate. I'm sure after a week I'll be more comfortable with it and soon it'll be no big deal, but at the moment I'm freaking out about it. I've had my moments of calm though where I feel good about it. It's close, they're going to work around my TOROS and school schedule, and they have a good training program. Well I have to go. I'll post again probably tomorrow about my first day.

quickie

Well I had a job interview today at Zellers. I think it went well. I'm scared though, scared of not getting the job and scared of getting it. I'm such a screw up with most things and it takes me forever to get comfortable doing something. I'm sure it'll be fine. I have to get the job first.lol

High School Life is OVER!

Well I officially graduated from high school on thursday. YAY ME!!!!!!! it feels so weird to be done and know it's not going to ever happen again.

Grad was fun, the ceremony was a bit boring and long but hey they're supposed to be. Nobody said anything to profound although my principal urged us to mooch off of our parents as long as possible ^_^

When I arrived in the morning I also found ut I won a $1000 bursary. ^_^ Thats almost half of my tuition and probably more then I could make if I worked in the summer. I'm still looking for a job, but I don't feel so stressed out about it, that money is a big help :D

TOROS is going good, its a little boring even though we have more to learn then last year. I think part of it is because Beauty and The Beast we all knew and it was so cool to be in a show you grew up with. CATS i"ve never even heard or seen so it doesn't have the same connection, plus the chorus are put in the background an aweful lot compared to last year *Sigh* Oh well, at least i'm on stage.
