2011-Today

Ill bounce back and forth between years lol. today I will talk about 2011.

So I seem to be blind in one eye. Not too sure whats going on there. Everything is quite blurry. Took out my contact and have my glasses on, even worse now lol. Great! Let's start the new year off with blindness.

I am worried about my stress lvl lately. My eye has twitched a couple times this week =( Tis a bad omen. It's probably due to work, cuz after this coming week of work, I have no idea what I'll be doing. People I'm covering for should be back so I might be unemployed again.

*twitch twitch*

So I had an adventure last weekend that I was gonna write about, but didn't cuz i forgot to.

Adventures In Bean Bag Chair Filling:

K well I've filled up a bean bag chair before, and it went relatively well, just a few foamy beans scatter around the place. This was last summer. I got my bro a new bean bag chair for xmas and was gonna be nice and fill it for him, even tho he's an asshole, and this time i was gonna do it in the bathroom, so it'd be easier to clean up after.

So I get everything ready, the chair is open and ready to be filled, i cut a corner off the bag of massive beans. I need to put three bags of beans into this chair. Three. I open the bag and begin pouring, and POOF! beans everywhere.

like, static cling mania. these little beans like plastered themselves to the wall, to my toilet, the entire floor was coated in them. Not to mention so was i. i had a whole layer of beans on me.

So I'm like wtf, this is gonna suck. So i keep filling the damn chair as best as i can, the damn beans are so staticky tho that anytime i reach near the bag they fly thur the air out of the bag and attach to my arm. the inside of the bag the beans were in has a whole layer of beans in it that can't be removed cuz they're clinging to tightly. I think it took me like 20 minutes to empty this bag of beans, which really all it shoulda taken is a minute to 'pour' the beans into the chair.

so then i'm done emptying the bag, and i want to go grab a garbage bag to put this shit in. but i look down at myself and i'm totally coveredin beans. And i don't want to drag all those around my apartment. So I strip down lol, grab new beanless clothes from my room, get my handy dandy (which really isn't so dandy) dustbuster and a garbage bag.

I also had a smart moment. When I worked at the vet clinic and we had massive staticky cling issues we would grab fabric softener sheets and just rub them up and down our arms and legs to keep our clothes from being staticky. So I grabbed some sheets, gave my new beanless clothes a once over with them, loaded up any exposed skin with some body butter cream so the beans would attach to my hands, and i went back into the bathroom.

I was in there for at least a half hour trying to gather up the beans with the fabric softener sheet. it was just insane. the toilet looked hilarious, it had a nice coating of beans all the way around it. my towels on the wall were all beaned up, and the floor was a whole layer of beans. anything i leaned close to something i'd seen beans fly off their object and attach themselves to my head. zoooom! crazy bastard things.

So yah, a week later and still finding beans everywhere in there. royal pain in the ass, but, something i suggest people try someday. even tho it was annoying, it was funny as hell.

Lesson Learned: Don't fill bean bag chairs in the winter when the air is so dry.

PS: so the other day at work i went to the bathroom and in the toilet there were a couple beans floating o_O Sneaky bastards are clinging to my ass!

PPS: I'd go back and edit this, but I still can't see out of my right eye. Sigh...

Blarg! its a Blog!

Well i'm the queen of procrastination. Nothing exciting is happening right now in my life so i'm gonna start by reviewing last years shitshow. excuse bad grammar, bad spelling, bad anything. its my blog, i'll type it how i want.

January:
So I start off the year 2010 pretty much unemployed. the previous december I quit my full time job at this one facility cuz its an absolutely horrid place to work, and i had an injured shoulder that just wasn't healing, and my eye twitch was back full force. For those that don't know, i get a really annoying eyelid twitch in my right eye when i'm insanely stressed out, like, uber, mentally, gonna have a breakdown stressed out. The twitch went away the day I gave my notice lol.

Luckily when i quit, I picked up a small casual position at another facility that still dealt with the same type of work. Unfortunately it was only like 2 shifts a week, if that. and thats if i really took my time doing the work. So needless to say, i was mildly stressed at the fact that being the beginning of a new year, there were tons of bills coming out that i'd have to pay but didn't have the income to cover it.

I was given a heads up about a possible job opening in a facility that i've always wanted to work in. It was the supervisor too that gave me the heads up, and when the job was posted, she even contacted me to make sure I applied. Which is absolutely awesome, so towards the end of 2009 i was getting quite pumped about this job opening in January. Lots of people were like, 'oh yah, this job is yours, you have such awesome references..etc. etc' so yah, super pumped, full time permanent position coming up in the awesome facility.

I didn't get the job.


massively depressed after that. I'm happy for the girl that got it, she was an old co-worker of mine and she needed to get out of her current job very badly. But still a kick in the junk. if i had a junk.

Luckily tho, i was doing a good job at this new place, and they asked me to cover one of the employees spots while they were on vacation for the month of Feb. Whoot! full time work in feb. was pretty pumped. so ok, didn't have to worry about that for a month.

An additional stress in January was that they decided to jack up my condo fees i think $30/month. That is an insane increase! I swear these condo fees are a scam... so yah, during the month of january, i was in some seriuos financial stress, and was juggling physio, chiro and dealing with WCB paperwork for my injured shoulder. Not a good start to the year.

So towards the end of January, the interest rates on mortgages were pretty good, and mine was due for renewal in May of that year. So I contacted my mortgage broker to inquire on what i should do, renew early (if thats even possible?) or just wait and see what the rates are like in may. So he emails me back saying, no prob! just toss me a current paycheck and i'll look into what kinda rates i can get you. Well oh shit, a current paycheck? Let me point out that i wasn't like struggling to survive, the bills were a bitch and the current income almost non-existant. but I had gone a whole year with pretty much no vacation so i had moneys saved up. i could probably last 6 months without a job no prob. So i had savings. but unfortunately many banks don't care how much savings you have, they want to see a paycheck...

so incoming panic mode. omg, i won't be able to renew my mortgage. wtf am i gonna do. So i tell my broker that i don't have a good current paycheck because i'm on a sick leave (which i kinda was, just not official) and only working casual, but would hopefully have work lined up for me in feb. He replies that perhaps the current bank that i have my mortgage with will renew it, but he doubts it. I toss him some more questions via email, regarding rates, etc. No answer. My emails go completely ignored.

really? really???

This was my january of 2010..
