So, today being my third day no longer an employee of Canadian Tire I decided to go for a walk. There is this movie I need to return. So, I decide to put on my brand new kicks and test them out. I mean, it's only a few blocks away. So, I go and return it, then I think...why not go get my hair cut! What a wonderful idea.

So, I walk down Pembina looking for a place to get a new do. I walk and walk and walk. Then I see Ultracut! I go in and find a women with horrible hair and a rude attitude. I leave. I keep walking and walking. Then I spot European Hair Design. Then I think, "They will make me look like Amy Winehouse" and I continue walking.

Finally, I find Singletons and decide this is where I will get my hair cut. I walk in, get my hair cut by a women with equally bad hair as the first, and walk out with a trim...not what I wanted but I was to scared to let her cut more off.

So, I start my trek back. Half way there I am thinking "Food, food, foooood!" And then I realize I haven't eaten all day and it is almost two o'clock! This is insane. I start randomly chatting out loud to myself. Chatting "Food" over and over. And starting to limp.

By the time I get home I almost need crutches! I look down at my foot and see this....

Beautiful I know. So, that is my interesting tale of the day. I hope you enjoy the picture on my massive blister.

Oh, and remember...do not walk 5 1/2 miles in brand new shoes.

Over and out.

Aggravated Assault

The more I think about it the less entertaining it gets but at the time it was a subject very worthy of a post. Would you like to know what I am talking about? I thought so :D. Though, some of you have already either experienced or heard some version of the event that took place.

i must also say that you have absolutely no obligation to read this.

So, now that I have a very unnecessary introduction to my story, here goes;

east Indian cashier named Parveen: Janette, can you help this customer?
Janette: I would love to! what do you need help with/
old lady: I need a ice scraper
Janette: a shovel?
old lady: no a ice scraper
Janette: I'll show you where they are supposed to be on the floor. what kind of ice scraper are you looking for?
old lady: the one for $14.99
Janette: what size are you looking for?
old lady: an ice scraper
Janette: like this?
old lady: no
Janette: like this?
old lady: no
Janette: like this?
old lady: yes but for $14.99
Janette: it looks like there are none on the floor, let me go check the warehouse.
old lady: i drove here all the way from downtown. i phoned here twice. you said you have them.
Janette: yes, i understand, let me go check in the back. I'll just be a minute.

this is where i proceed to spend ten minutes looking for a 8" job mate ice chopper. note that it is not a scraper but a chopper that she wanted. when i can't find it i go back down to see if a missed it on the floor.

Janette: I couldn't find it upstairs but...
old lady: I drove a long way and you said you had some on the phone. i called yesterday and today and both times i was told there are some here.
Janette: I understand but i can't...
old lady: you don't understand, this is not funny. this is not a joke. i came a long way.
Janette snickers cause it is a little funny the way she is so insistently rude.
old lady: you said on the phone that you had some here and i drove all this way.
Janette: i know, and i am trying to....
old lady: no you don't understand, i need to get a different ice chopper for the same price. i need to talk to a manager.
Janette: OK, i will go...
old lady: this is making me very angry
Krista: she is to and your hurting her feelings you old hag! she's my sister and you don't have any right to talk to her like that stupid cow!
old lady: pardon me?
Krista walks away with smoke coming from her ears.

At this point in my story I am at customer service calling a manger named Kyle. To understand Kyle`s character think of the strangest person you have met, now imagine that person a workaholic and and insane perfectionist. OK, so i call him up and explain the situation. together we go look for that stupid ice chopper. and then try to find one that we can sell to her for the same price.
by this time the lady has some how managed to find another manager, this one named Garry the grouch. she proceeds to list all of the horrible details of her day and all the problems that Canadian Tire has, including the horrendous staff attitudes.
i could probably go on and on which i already have but i will let your imagination finish off this one which ever way you want. on the other hand i`ll make one up that fits my feelings toward the woman.

i see this woman coming toward me already complaining about my patheticness, as she nears i whip out the ice chopper she doesn`t want and whack her over the head. end of story.

i love dr. pepper

the good times just keep rolling don't they. yesterday i handed in my letter of resignation! it was the best feeling in the world. well, not quite. i was actually a bit nervous about the reaction of my supervisor. and as i presumed, he got a little upset. i felt so bad. he told me he was going to cry and didn't say more than like, six words to me all day. that's an exaggeration but almost only six words. anyway, he proceeded to make me feel guilty about quitting sooner than what i had origanlly said. oh well, i think he'll get over it. they'll hire someone much more willing to do his bidding.

right now Sheri has a few friends over. that's about all i have to say about them. a very entertaining subject i must say. though, they do make good milkshakes :D

i have been doing some research on Nicaragua lately. but so far, everything that i have read has not stayed in my head. except that it is warm there. i guess i will have to re-research this topic once again.

i also looked into Spanish lessons but it is difficult to find something starting now. so i gave up and am hoping that i will miraculously learn a little bit of Spanish within the next couple of months.

me and my two lovely older sisters went to go see the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2, naturally seeing as we are sisters. it was pretty good if you like that sort of movie. which i do by the way. quite an entertaining time. i still think that the Broadway musical Hairspray beats them all. it was the best live performance i have ever seen in my life. just spectacular!

the happy things in life :D

i am so excited!!! i got my passport today :D and my criminal record check so i am good to go to Nicaragua!!!! yay! and i printed off my resignation letter so i am done working in two weeks and then o the bliss of doing nothing. this is seriously one of the happiest days for a long time. with the new snow...eating new snow. relaxing and enjoying the first day that is feeling like winter. i am actually really excited about this snow. its about time. i love snow, but i agree the cold is a bit much but whatever. i get to miss a month and a half of it this year.

the house is so cozy right now. i am sitting here watching the neighbor boys, listening to the weather channel (which by the way actually has good music) and drinking some hot chocolate. just kidding, i am only thinking of drinking hot chocolate.

i have been doing a happy dance all day. i am finally feeling happy :D and a little peaceful. it sounds a but corny but its true. i am just so happy...til tomorrow when i have to work...but then i can think..only two more weeks Janette! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am rambling much. i hope you are all enjoying this post. i can't even remember what i have written. but i love the snow.

i ate some today! the first snow. and it made me think of you Dayna :D i ate some for you to just in case you don't have snow out there in Germany.

ok. so i am going to go. probably play tetris or something!
