So, I quit Walmart today, before orientation tomorrow. I feel good about the choice, but still wish in a way that I could have had the chance to make the little bit of money that it would have brought. Whatever though! I don't care that much! It was too much BS for me to handle right now! I have found pretty perfect flights - all one airline and very few layovers, none of which are long! And it is the same coming home. I fly direct from Washington to Accra! And I get into Accra mid afternoon, so I could even see my babies that day! HOORAY! Erin says she will drive me from Vancouver to Seattle to save that $300 or so bucks that that tickets costs, so that is nice too. Too bad Westjet doesn't have a seat sale on.... I haven't booked it yet, although it made me very excited!
I am going to take Nathaniel bowling on Saturday rather than going to visit his family. Although I am disappointed that I cannot see Grampa and Grama, I am glad I can still have Nathaniel. I talked to Marlene today (aka Mom) and she said that she didn't think he went bowling very often. She came up with one time that she took him, but it was way over a year ago. So, hopefully, he enjoys that! Maybe I will call around and see if anyone does mid afternoon Saturday Cosmic Bowling, because that is even cooler!
While I was talking to Mom tonight, she told me that she had found this cereal that if you mix with your favorite fruit or something yummy, is great for iron. Half a cup of this cereal has 50% of your daily iron and 107% of your daily fibre in it. I am going to try it I guess. She says that she puts a little bit of molasses in it, which also has good fibre in it! Worth a shot I guess - and it is really helping her fight her cancer, so I guess it must be good! She kept telling me ways to make it taste better, and you could hear Derick int he background telling her to shut up, it was fine. We decided that he just wanted to make me feel better about eating it.
I get to work 3 hours tomorrow. Then I am going to go swimming. Don't let me back out! Then I am going to go to my first ever "Take Back the Night" since I don't have to go to Walmart. Mom and I get our eyebrows done on Saturday morning, then play with Nate for a while. If my buddy isn't too hung over on Sunday, we might hang out for a bit. Nickolas and I start on Tuesday, and then I will go swimming again (must get into a routine here!) and then I have counseling. I work again on Wednesday. I am very half-assed considering a BC trip where I go visit all my peeps, but I will probably not do it, because I am a little bit poor this year... I certainly have not done much for work!
FUNNY STORY (Unless you like her.... then I guess I am just cruel and mean)
Mom had lunch today with one of the instructors of the administrative assistant program today. My name came up in conversation (of course, Lily, the instructor has known me since I was just a wee lassie), and then Lily remembered this story that she was going to tell mom months ago.
Do you remember Jacquie? Travis's ex that caused me such a headache when he and I first started seeing each other? well, Jacquie took this program, in 2008 I believe (I was still in facilities) She still is not working in the field that they studied, and she is one of the few. She works in retail.
Lily asked her if she had applied at CNC for one of our admin assistant jobs. She said no. Lily asked why not. Jacquie's answer was that she couldn't work at CNC because Jenna works there. Lily was like Jenna who, and why the hell not? She told Lily that she cannot work in the same building as me, because I stole her boyfriend and she is still angry about it (she didn't apparently mention that she slept with my fiancee, but I know that nonetheless). Lily was just like, I see.
Mom told me this story, and I was like "that's right, Bitch. You cannot work at CNC Bitch" lol, I am very mature sometimes. Honestly, we probably couldn't work together - my willingness to like her disappeared when Trav told me that he slept with her. Actually, when Trav told me that he slept with her, it made me a lot more angry than the fact that she slept with 3 girls while I was gone - I believe that Jacquie is the only person on the planet that would get a kick out of ruining something that made me happy. I have her blocked on FB because the sight of her name (we have a lot of mutual friends) makes me angry. But, I would still be as professional as possible... and really, I am just a casual! I shouldn't matter to anyone! (I think this conversation might have come up with a why hasn't Jenna applied for a full time permanent at the college yet).
I think it's kinda perfect that that Bitch won't work at CNC as long as I am there. Saves me the hassle! I told my mom that there was now two people who wouldn't work at CNC as long as I appear there. Travis and Jacquie, and I LOVE IT!
Jacquie stories tend to piss me off, but this one made my day!
