Or a jinx?
Since i have had my job in late September:
one employee had a panic and mild heart attack at work and was hospitalized for a week
another employee fainted and fell
another employee had a panic attack and was unable to breathe and was hospitalized
the employee that fainted slipped and fell on the ice
our district manager fell on the ice trying to dig out our back door because the mall hadn't done it and hadn't salted anything either
Someone suggested it might not be the store, but me. Who knew Lettuce could be dangerous?

Minor Irritating FrustrationsYet, i am feeling beat down. How many times can my work schedule or weather get in the way of holiday plans?
My work and (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s work schedules must have been planned... my boss and his got together and decided that every time i am working, he is not and every time he is working, i am not. Means we cannot do any holiday things together.
Ah, but just to give us false hope, we both have Sunday off, so we made plans. And now, we find out there might be a killer snow fall on Saturday night/Sunday morning, leaving us stuck for just enough time to not be able to make our plans a reality.
Then there's the times when there are parties that neither of us can attend because we are working.
It seems like the fates do not wish us to see anyone else this holiday season.
I will miss seeing my brother and sister in law and their kids, along with the new 6 year old foster child they recently took in. I will also miss seeing the extended family -- cousins and aunts and uncles. If those plans are still on... my mom hasn't mentioned them...
I am trying hard not to let this get to me, since really, in the grand sceme of things, it is just minor. Yet i am upset and frustrated.
Perhaps it is just getting used to working and having limited time again. I found it difficult enough to please everyone and be everywhere when i wasn't working, it's even more difficult now.
Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope there will be pictures of the pot luck posted soon.

That's always so dissapointing when that happens. I hope that you'll have a wonderful holiday, though:).

I will put a positive spin on things for you, not that it will help, Oh yeah positive sorry it will make all your troubles vanish. Before when you tried to see everyone is was I'm guessing impossible it was also very stress full flying around. So now you have a valid excuse, that being work. Just relax and say you can't see anyone because of work and kill all your plans it could cut out a lot of the stress. Yes family functions are fun but most peoples family stresses them out also, keep that in mind. The next time you see someone who you haven't had time to see hopefully you will be more apartative of being able to see them.
On a side note it looks like do to a memory card problem no pictures from the diner but it was still a great time.

Red FireThat's the name of this month's colour. Last month, (e:LeeTee,42112) i used Red Hot. It was good, but a bit too much of a violet base for me, since my hair tends to pull blues easily. So, this month, i thought i would try Red Fire, since it has a copper base.
(e:Uncutsaniflush) and i heard from a ex-friend in our past. Interesting that she called my phone instead of his to speak to him. Result was the same, though. He did not wish to speak to her and neither did i. Funny that, huh? That we would not want to chit chat with someone who told us she did not want to be our friend?
For another friend we adore dearly, we ordered a holiday gift from Signals. The day after we ordered it, we found out it was back ordered, due to be in stock on the 4th... then the 7th... then the 9th... then the 11th... now, the 19th. Looks like we might need to find a new gift or have a New Years gift for her instead...
Still no ideas for my dad, (e:LeeTee,42453) for his birthday. Sadly, most stuff from Tarpin Station wouldn't be that great for shipping. Besides, he can get all that stuff there... and he is a roll your own kinda guy, not a bong kinda guy. And he has enough weed to last a few... well... most people, years, him months.
Other than some odds and sods (and my dad's birthday gift), we are mostly done with our holiday shopping. I think if i continue to work retail, i want to finish shopping by 1 December next year!
Well, i best get on with chores and enjoying my day off. As is typical, i am working the evening of the (e:Strip) Holiday Pot Luck....

You should try (I know, seasoned citizens are set in their ways) to get him to use a vaporizer. It's healthier, and I hear more effective. It's showing your dad you care about his health!

Out of ControlSaw this film this afternoon.... fucking amazing. Even though i knew what would happen in the end, i still cried. Surprisingly, i also laughed at bits of it. I wasn't expecting that.
If you're interested, go see it before it goes away. Myself, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and 2 older people (the man said "that was shit" when the credits started rolling... i wonder what he was expecting?) were the only ones in the theatre. I don't expect it to be around for very long.
For anyone that is interested, Joy Division themselves...

I went to the Amherst st. Weg's at 7 last night. It wasn't too bad. The rush was earlier in the day according to the woman who checked me out. But the deli line was crazy!
What is it? Do people just crave pastrami on rye when snowed in?
People were nuts yesterday in the stores. I'm thinking it was a combo of Christmas shopping and Storm prep. I know I would need to run out and buy two emergency 54" flat panel TVs. (I'm still traumatized by almost being run over by a woman hauling a flat bed cart with two of these monsters on it. I also envied her, haha).
hehe, Caturday! omg, so many cats. My two drive me crazy with their antics, cant imagine hundreds of them. Now hundreds of kittens.. totally different story. Bring them on!
Wegmans at Amherst was nuts on Saturday. (e:Drew) stood in line for 20 minutes at the deli. He even tried to sell his deli ticket for $5. I'd be surprised if Wegmans had any food left on its shelves.
haha! I don't know why but I find that hilarious!
