I've got another night shift tonight. I hate those. The only part I hate is trying to get everything done and still make the 10:25 bus, which we all i know I had some trouble doing the first two weeks working there. Last week I was lucky enought to get it each time. One night, the bus happened to be 20 minutes late, due to some kind of accident that happened down the road.
On Saturday night, Sheldon and I went to the Just for Laughs concert at the Convention center. It's not a very big place at all. Not like I thought it was going to be, but it's still nice inside. All of the comics were hilliarious. Shaun Majumder was my favorite. He was the host of the show, and rightfully so, being from Burlington NL. The same place Sexy Rexy is from. :-D
I was snapping pictures all night until the batteries wore out. There was an intermission after the first four comics. Shaun and the last comic that was just up on the stage were there on the side stage, I could see them through a little space between the end of the curtain and the pole holding them up. I saw a girl get up from the audience and just walk back there. She took a picture of Shaun and the other guy. I was stood up there looking in between that space between the cutain and the pole. I wanted to go back there too, I swear to God I almost did. After I had sat down, the comics when behind a door back stage. By this time Sheldon had come back from attempting to get a drink. I told him what was on the go, and how I regretted so much that I hadn't gone back there. I felt so bad. I knew I would never have the opportunity to do that again.
As the last two comedians were on stage, I saw Shaun peaking out through the curtain, litterly next to us where we were sitting. I waved and pointed at my camera then to me and then to him. He had whispered something, I couldn't hear, so I went up to him and said "What?" He said "After the show". I said ok, and I was satisfied with that. I thought to myself, even if I don't get the chance to meet him after the show, what had just happened was good enough for me. I was some excited and enjoyed the rest of the show.
As Shaun promised, we met eachother after the show. He shook my hand and asked me what was my name. I said Jennifer, he said "Hi I'm Shaun". I told him that I was a big fan of his, that I've been watching him for years. As well, I told him that my friend Cory does an excellent impression of him. Shaun laughed and said "People are doing impressions of me? That's hillarious" I told him that it was really hard to get off work tonight to come see you. He said "Thanks for coming". Then he and I posed for the picture that Sheldon took. He left then to speak to other fans who were gathered around. He is so nice and I couldn't get over how polite his was. He's a lot muscled then I thought, and he's also a lot shorter then I had expected.
I was practly dancing my way out of the center, I felt like I was floating. When we got to the lobby, I called mom and told her what just happened. She was very happy. As Sheldon and I were walking down to the bus stop, I called Cory to tell him what happened. He was very excited and happy about it.
Yup, so this is my second celebrity pose. LOL. I think I'm going to start a collection. The next one I want is to be pictured with Rex Goudie. If it's the last thing I do! I'm sure Shaun can hook me, since we're pals and all now. Hahahahaha.
Take care everyone.

Work today

I've got to leave for work soon so there will probably be 101 spelling mistakes in this since I don't have time to proofread. Is that one word or two?
Anway, I'm working another night shift. It's only one extra then normal, but it makes a big difference. I'm tired of missing the 10:25 bus then having to wait for the 11:25. I'm sure I mentioned that in my last post. My feet have been swollen for two days. Not so bad today, but you just wait until I get to work. I'm contrary today becuase I'm not smoking is all. I smoked when I started my job and now I have it put back down again. I'll be fine tho. I want to lose 20 pounds before Christmas. I didn't start off too well by eating pop corn and cereal last night. You're not supposed to have anything to eat after 6. Nothing! Oh well, I did it before, I can do it again. It was really hard tho, going to sleep with pangs in my belly. It eventually goes away. Well that's it for me today. Tomorrow is a day shift, thank God. I don't see too much of those. The new schedule was done yesterday, I can't wait to get into work to see it. I betcha I'm working this Sunday. Dosen't matter anyway I spose, Sheldon is working it too.
Take care everyone.

Today is day 4 of my new job. I like it. I tend to get a little frustrated when looking for bras and sometimes they look almost exactly the same but they are different, therefore, they are different in price. And when people ask me what's the difference between the bras I don't know, color maybe, price? I don't know these things yet. I'm not expected to know everything yet, but I can't wait until I come to the point where I do.
I did my first bra fitting last night. I was a little nervous, but it was fine. I hope I don't have to do those too often.
We have a sidewalk sale on the go now and of course I was put out front to keep an eye on it. Oh that was so boaring. I bet people thought I was some annoying, coming out and asking can I help them with anything when they got to the table. I'm sure they just wanted to have a peaceful look. Apparently we get a lot of shoplifters. Steal the damn stuff, that's less shit for us to clean up after work then we can get the hell home.
I normally finish close to 10:30. The first night shift I did, the 10:25 bus was still there waiting. I had to miss it, becuase Sheldon was going to be on the next bus to meet me. He would have gotten off that one and we would wait for the 11:25 bus. He missed the 11:05 bus and was sitting on the 11:25 waiting for me. Last night we were a little later closing the shop. Twenty to eleven I finally get to the food court to check to see if the bus is there, and of course it's long gone by then. So last night I had to wait for the 11:25 bus again. I'd say I'll be doing that on most nights. Thats just a pain in the arse because it's almost midnight before I get home. Last night the bus driver was driving so bloody slow. He was slowing down just befor he got to a green light and he was doing the speed limit. I was like what the hell dude, this is your last run for the night, don't you want to get it over with? I fuckin' would.
I was only working for 3 hours last night, so I could be shown in greater detail all the things needing to be done for closing. It's a lot of little things and I know I'm going to fuck it up a few times. I hope I don't though, cuz it will take all night to fix it.
Winter time is going to be hard I'd say. Waiting at night for the bus I mean. You are only supposed to work two night shifts a week, I've been put on three so that I can be trained on how to close the store.
Tomorrow I'm working 12-5. I don't know if I'm off on Sunday yet. I doubt I will be. Heather dosen't have the schedule done yet. I assume she will have it done today. Oh yeah, and they have benefits there too. The same as we had at Convergys. 80% coverage on medical, dental, and glasses. Of course we cannot forget my 25% discount on everything. Even on 20% off everything in the mall night, my discount is added to that. 45 big ones. What a sweet deal! My lord I'm some tired. I should have went back to bed after Sheldon left for work this morning. OH my, another 8 hours on my feet again today. I can't wait until I'm used to that to. :-(
That's it for me. Take care all.
