It's been forever since I wrote an entry. I know. But I figured Facebook would do most of the talking. 

Of course, I can't let Facebook do all of the talking. Too many people there. Although...I've been sorta see-sawing on whether to put the link for this blog up on Facebook or not. I mean, this site is pretty public. It really is no different from Facebook, except for the fact that I actually put my personal life in paragraphs instead of occasional one-liners. And it's a more personal page. On Facebook, everyone splatters comments and scrutinizes everything that goes on on your notes, wall, photos, etc. You know what I mean? 

Therefore, I don't like blogging on Facebook Notes, cuz every Tom, Dick and Harry who has an overview of my profile can see the stuff I write immediately. If I post a link, not everyone will click on it. Ultimately some will, but only those who are interested enough and actually don't mind a little time to check out the link and its contents are rare. I believe many of us are only interested in other people's profile and statuses in life (e.g., your birthday, general facts about you, and especially who you're in a relationship with. Duh). Anything more bores them. They don't need to fork out that much time to know you inside out. And if I have to click on a link...geez, forget it man! So that's why I'm thinking of just putting the link up. Like I said, it's not like I privatized this blog anyway. 

Where do I start? I last wrote late May...yes, a lot of things have happened since then. Of course I can't write everything down...it'll take two months. I got hired at a Carnival that will be running from July 23-August 30, and I've currently got a new job, working at a restaurant. Started June 23rd. Hostessing and bussing at the moment. Hostessing = sitting people down and bussing is pretty much the workout of the restaurant. I get to carry heavy, dirty plates, glasses and cutlery, refill buckets of ice, help the servers with food carryouts...and more. It's a busy job. I like it, but the past two times that I've been bussing, it's worn me down a little. Thank god I did work out a little bit most mornings since I came back from Singapore in April, so I'd a two-month warm-up before starting on a crazy job, or my arms would've been broken by now. I'm half-joking.

One of the servers, Aline, couldn't feel her arm all of a sudden yesterday. I'd just ended my shift, and stayed behind for about a half hour or so to read a chapter of my book before going home. As I was packing up to go home, I headed to the washroom, and suddenly the door slammed open, with me in that awkward position half-peeing, and Aline went, "Oh shit", and ran away. I didn't think there was anything wrong at that time except I was a little embarrassed (I thought I'd locked the damn door!). Later as I was washing my hands, my manager Kerry burst in calling Aline's name, but found me washing my hands instead. She mumbled a "sorry" and yelled, "Aline, where are you? Are you okay?!" Sensing something amissed, I headed back to the locker room and found Kerry crouching across Aline, who was sitting on the chair grabbing her arm in pain. Apparently, she couldn't feel her fingers at all, and the upper part of her left arm was in pain. We didn't know what to do, and I could tell Kerry had never handled a situation like that before. And I couldn't do anything either, cuz I didn't know what it was. All I did was manage to calm her down for less than a minute, before she got all panicky again. Anyway, she had a ride to the hospital right away.

That was pretty much the drama of yesterday. Another server, Lori, who was supposed to be scheduled in yesterday morning, didn't show up. She'd apparently gotten into a motorbike accident. Sophie, who was called in for replacement said it shouldn't be that serious, but still...

So yeah, yesterday was one helluva day. Oh, and guess what the name of the restaurant is called? Yesterday's. Nope, not kidding, lol. Anyway, I just got a call from my other manager, Steve, for a no-show today. I'm scheduled to work outside in the patio, but because it's cold and windy (18°C as of now), he's decided to close the patio, and everyone who was on shift to work outside. I'm still gonna make my way down though, I think, because I'm eager to know the schedule for the rest of the week, so I can plan my stuff asap.

Before I pen off, Carole, my Canadian Tire supervisor, gave me off for two and a half weeks cuz she was going on vacation and didn't know what my schedule would be like before the Carnival. It's sick, I'm telling ya! I just happened to start working at Yesterday's at that time (that was two weeks ago), so the two weeks off was perfect for me to get coordinated in my second job. So I'm probably not gonna be working at Canadian Tire too much for a while, cuz I'll be working at the Carnival full-time till the end of August. I probably wouldn't be working much at Yesterday's either. The idea of having three jobs do sound intimidating, but I'll try to see how I'll juggle them all and still get my sleep!

Alright, I should probably go now, cuz I've still got stuff to take care of at home. It's been so crazy the past week I'm a little behind with the organizing stuff. I cleared a part of my desk today so I'm feeling a little better. Alright, till next time, people.
