September 24, 2008 Changes In My Life

Yes…I’m making changes in my life. Nothing is set in motion yet cause I’m still thinking about it all, but I definitely know where I’m going to start off with. What would that be? Quitting my current job as a telephone sales representative.

I absolutely HATE it. I can’t stand it any longer and it’s just ticking me off way too much. The supervisors are asswipes, the hours are insanely stupid, and MANDATORY shifts for working on holidays like HALLOWEEN or CHRISTMAS – I DON’T THINK SO!! Enough is enough. I’m sick of it all and need a break.

I was hoping that it would last since it’s a good pay considering what you are doing, but it’s just to stressful and I dread going in each and everyday…and if you haven’t noticed all of my complaints on twitter, well, let’s just say there’s a lot.

So tomorrow…I’m thinking about telling one of the supervisors that I want to leave. Most people give two weeks notice and then they say you are expected to cover your shifts for the next two weeks. I don’t think so, sorry. I’m sick of it, what makes them think I’ll cover those shifts? No thank-you. I don’t really care if I leave there with a not so good rep. Honestly, I don’t really care. I’ve done it before, I’ll do it again.

When I hate something sooo much, there’s no stopping me and there’s no forcing me to do anything. I’ll take off and continue living my life the way I want to and not be a slave to any company.

I’ll go back to school & paid blogging if I have to. I have no problem. In fact, I’m already looking at school stuff to plan my next move. And the paid blogging? Well, that is just way too easy and I can handle that as well.

Then I’ll have no restrictions and can sleep in late and stay up all night doing what I want to do and not have to worry about going off to work early the following day. I hate that the most. I’d rather spend time with my family and do things at home, then deal with crummie customers ALL-DAY-LONG on the phones.

Get my drift? I’m sure we’ve all had a job like this one time or another. And it sucks…majorly. I’ve had a headache all day thinking about this stuff and what I’m going to do. I know my parents won’t approve it but I don’t care. I’m living my life the way I want to and some changes I think ARE necessary and FOR THE BETTER before I go off the deep end and completely lose it.

July 11, 2008 TGIF!

Yup it’s Friday. Usually it’s something to be happy about, but for me…not really. I have to work today and then again tomorrow. Booooooo. Thank goodness today is just a short shift because I really just want to lounge around.

Don’t get me wrong…I lounged around for the past three days and just did online stuff, watched movies, and watched Family Guy on dvd…but still. Being at home without a care in the world, is something I love. Call me a hermit if you will, it’s just too cozy to be bothered to go out and about.

Plus, the weather…omg the WEATHER!! Can you say boiling hot outside. Why on earth would I go out in a 30+ degree plus humidity day, when I can stay in the freshness of having air conditioning at home?? There’s really no decision between the two for me. I’d pick stay at home rather than going out, getting all sweaty, and ready to strip naked and jump in a pool.

Ya right…I’ll stay where it’s nice and fresh and only leave when I have to.

I’m sick…terribly sick. I even had to cancel two shifts from work (yesterday and today). The problem? I have this cough that is just not going away. I don’t know what to tell ya. I swear I cough over 200 times a day and I’m not even exaggerating. It seems like I cough every minute and sometimes it will last a whole minute in itself.

I think I have bronchitis or something. I’ve have bronchitis before when I was a child along with asthma which definitely wasn’t two things you should have together. But I think I have yet again got bronchitis. I think this is what I had earlier this year too. I didn’t go to the doctor then, but it lasted nearly a month.

My mom has a prescription to some kind of cough medicine that you can only get via prescription from a doctor. This cough medicine supposedly makes your cough go away in a day or two. It worked for my mom and even my aunt who my mom gave some to when she came over with a cough. So, I’m just hoping I can get my hands on some of that and maybe…just maybe my cough will go away? I hope so. I can’t be missing days of work all the time and I just can’t stand coughing 24/7.

Yes 24/7 of coughing…not a lie. Just imagine this…

Laying your head to go to bed at night and you’re coughing every couple of minutes. Then waking up in the middle of the night after you’ve slept for an hour or two and then coughing some more. You go to the bathroom and get a drink still coughing. Back to bed. You wake up a few times during the night because of coughing. Morning time. The alarm goes off and you start coughing. Get up and out of your bed to head to bathroom again still coughing. Heading to your kitchen to get something for breakfast, all the way coughing. Then throughout your entire friggin day coughing every couple of minutes.

  • You can’t carry on a conversation with someone because you’re coughing.
  • You can’t talk on the phone because you’ll cough.
  • Don’t even think about walking around the block with the dog. You’ll be coughing up a storm.
  • You’re trying to watch your favourite tv show but can’t hear because of your coughing. Turn the tv volume wayyy up.
  • Don’t even think about even eating…you’ll cough and all your food will spit out.
  • Same thing goes for drinking. Drink only after you’ve coughed or else you’ll have the consequence of spitting it everywhere or it coming out of your nose if you try to keep your mouth shut.

Try living like that…it’s not good at all!! And even throughout this entire week that I’ve managed to get this cough (since Monday when I noticed), I’ve lost 10lbs. Yes 10lbs! I mean…sure it’s something to celebrate but not like this. I know that’s not healthy at all and I know it’s due to having this cough.

Just the other day I spent the ENTIRE DAY…when I say the ENTIRE DAY…I mean when I wake up in the morning until 11pm at night before I fell back asleep…I spent it in bed watching movies. The only time I got up was to go to the bathroom or go get some more water. Crazy isn’t it? I just had no energy at all to move. I mean, I can be lazy at times believe me, but that day, I just couldn’t do anything.

Have I mentioned other things that’s happened during the this week? I also had a stuffy nose, watery eyes, pounding headache and now even muscles ache. My left arm is ABSOLUTELY killing me. It’s so tight and I can literally press down on muscles. Even a back muscle also on my left side is hurting.

I JUST WANT ALL THIS PAIN TO GO AWAY!!

I am seriously going to lose my mind and I know what you’re thinking, “What don’t you go see a doctor?” The problem with that is I can’t stand my family doctor. He’s an old geezer who never knows what’s wrong with me and just sends me to see specialists. My entire childhood was going from specialist to specialist that is one of the reasons I dispise him now. “Then why don’t you switch doctors?” The problem with that is the fact that no doctors in my area are willing to take on new patients. It’s a lose-lose situation for me. The only thing that comes to mind is for me to go to one of those free clinics. Now that will take hours since it’s ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS packed. We have over 10 in my city and no matter which one I go to, there will be a wait of an hour or more.

So I guess I’m just going to wait a few days. Until Tuesday at least. Hopefully my mom will get that cough medicine she keeps talking about and I’ll try it. If it doesn’t work, then I guess I have no choice but to see a doctor.

Wow…I haven’t blogged here in a week. *smacks self* That’s how busy my little world can get even though it seems like I’m doing nothing all day long. Um…so this post is going to be all over the place since I have little things here and there to update about.

The weather is in the 30s both yesterday and today which is just great. The problem though is the fact I work both days. Like I mentioned before, the weather is always nice on days I tend to work. Ughh….why not nice on a day I’m off? I hope Monday or even tomorrow will be nice as well since I want to get out and go to the park or lake.

So ya…how is my new flash?? BLOODY AWESOME!!! I can’t believe I did without it for such a long time. I have taken some pictures, but those I haven’t put on my Flickr account. Will do so probably tomorrow. I don’t like having the flash directly pointing to my subject. It creates hard shadows. If you have it pointed slightly upwards, then the light bounces of the ceiling/wall and creates a nice soft image. AMAZING results!!

Vacation…Did I mention we’re probably heading to CUBA next month!!!!!!!!! Yippy!!!!! I can’t wait to be basking in the sunlight on the white sandy beach and then swimming in the ocean (my favourite thing ever!!!). So how did it come about? I was on my way to work yesterday and talking to my dad about stuff. He was mentioning how he wanted to see Cuba but wasn’t sure to go this year or not because they are already wasting money for my sister’s wedding which is in August. I think he was just waiting for me to agree on going which I totally did. I told him straight upfront I needed a vacation really bad and to swim in the ocean. He agreed and we starting talking about which dates, places, etc. So when I got to work, I had some time before I started and so I hopped online to check out some places. I found one resort in particular that we are looking at going to. Can’t say what it is yet, but it’s definitely looking good for us to go.

Now I just have to start setting aside some money and convince my dad that he should pay for my trip. LOL! I usually get my way anyways, but I’ll pay him back slowly for it since he already paid for my trip last year and didn’t take any of my money that I tried to give him.

I’m so excited over it!!! CUBA HERE I COME!!!

May 24, 2008 Have to work today :-(

My Saturday morning has been a little bit slow. I’ve just been getting ready to head off to work but decided to pop in and check a few things online. The weather is actually quite nice outside which totally sucks because I have to work. This always happens…nice weather when I have to work.

Anyways, I’m just glad I’m working with a great friend of mine, Roz. Hopefully time will pass by much quicker having her there so we can talk. LOL!

Well, I gotta go finish getting ready and then it’s off to work. Cya laterz!!

Don’t you feel that there isn’t enough hours in one day? That’s how I’m feeling right now. I woke up earlier than usually (9:30am…I usually get up in the afternoon), and I’ve been working on the computer ever since. Time is just flying by!! Then I have to shower and get ready for work soon. It’s just all ticking away too quickly for me to actually set back and enjoy!

I really don’t like days like this. I prefer them to go nice and slow, especially when I’m home. If I’m at work, then heck ya…go as fast as you can time. I just hate being on the phone the whole time taking to customers who can be quite rude. *rolls eyes thinking about certain incidents*

April 12, 2008 Not a good morning

Oh man…I woke up this morning feeling absolutely exhausted, sleepy, and just not good. Not to mention that I’m freezing cold and wearing a sweater plus my faux fur winter coat. Even with that I’m still cold. I just want to stay curled up in my bed for the rest of the day, but I have to work yet again.
