Nice little placement win for me! Net loss of 60 cents... Haha and the $5 office sweeps... All in the name of fun.

I love early days... It means I can go and visit my old work and see all the people I use to work with! Love Maureen... She was always so supportive about studying and working and like a fairy godmother at work... With attitude too!!! Hehehe

And got my fourth cake order! Wouldn't exactly say business is booming ... Lol. But could not have asked for a better start!

Tomorrow will be a super long day.
Unfortunate and a little frustrating. Timing in finance is just never right.

i had a meat pie and pizza this weekend... and steak and chips at sizzler last night. yummo. oh and did i mention the ricotta cheesecake? although i do half believe that i will stick a finger down my throat and regurgitate it all back up.

i hate what has become of target. im disappointed in the people who i thought were friends. im disappointed in what the store has turned out to be. and im bitterly disappointed in the fact that if they are management, they will take advantage of you - no matter the cost including ur HSC and uni exams. SCREW URSELVES DUMB F*CKS WHAT DO YOU THINK IS MORE IMPORTANT.

no wonder i can't (ever) find the will to go back (again).

on a brighter note, i had a catch up dinner with a couple of really good tarjay mates. at sizzler!!! hahaha haven't been there in years! expensive for what you got but it was about the company. (janice didn't seem to think so...) but i'm always of the belief that its not where you eat, its who you're eating with. besides, we (after her insistence) went to D2Ds for dessert (although, it would have been included in the price we paid at sizzler... but nooo, she didnt like the dessert there).

yeah, i get annoyed at people who pay a decent about for a buffet... and then decide to leave to go and have dessert elsewhere eventhough dessert including coffee and tea is included at the buffet. a big WTF for me. because:
1. its one night
2. its a waste of money when u've technically already paid for dessert
3. its a bit of a drive from sizzler back to bevo (locally speaking)

so proud to see amanda and mon grow up so much. been through so much and still overcome it all :-)

havent opened my textbooks this weekend. so many chores to finish. had to go places. worry about other things.

and i get really annoyed when you ask for my advice. so i give it to you. but you don't want to listen. if you don't want to listen, then please don't ask. and if you think you are so smart, then you can figure it out by yourself. and its not that i don't want to be supportive, its the fact that you've asked for my help and then you say you don't need it. make up your mind.

it gets old - really fast. and it annoys me. a lot.

spent heaps.

TL wasn't in today. had clients to visit.
so the day went by pretty quick.

then went to the shops with colleague to get our RM a bday present.
so by the time i got home it was 9.
cause i waited for my sis to finish work.
caught up on all the target goss. lol. love it.

went into tarjay to say bye to people today. lol it was funny when they were ringing me and i was instore. maree and muriell wanted to have a lil chat with me. theyre so sweet when they want to be. and said i would be "truly" missed. LOL. cute. and i was free to come back anytime.. and i would be right at the top of the list always. hahaha so privileged...

then i bummed the rest of the day with val. cafed at mortale. mario super brothers.

[most] of the people

what a week its been - specifically at work.

in a nutshell:
~ a few of our male members of staff were flashed by these two drunk teenage girls on thursday. one of them actually sexually assaulted one of our managers. obviously, a incident report was filed. bizarre. O_O
~ we got hammered at work today. the place looks worse that ive ever seen it probably. this is what happens when you have one person working in kidswear. and other people working in departments they are unfamiliar with.
~ the frontend of one of our modules actually collapsed. that was... funny. cause had to get manager. and the boys to lift the module to rebuild it. and all the stock was in a bad way.
~ all the good nursery items are gone. and i kept getting asked when we'll get them in. i can't answer that...
~ me in ladieswear. monkey is kidwear. wtf?
~ green (pale/lime colour) for our baby bumpathon sale. looks alrite. not as bad as you would imagine. except on martin cause the t-shirts are girl makes and he wanted to wear one today. LOLLL

and and and
>> i finally experienced what it was like for a tiffany charm to fall off. thank goodness it was AFTER i'd walked nessie and scout and it was in the kitchen. otherwise, i would have cried. i want to get it soldered and engraved.

movie needed closure. i felt nothing when dumbledore died.. and yes, way too many romantic references. lol lol.

hot pot was awesome. ate heaps. and talked over each other?

im so tired from work.

had a really not nice customer today who wanted to buy 10 high chairs. we had 5 staff members at one point or another helping her and she didnt say thank you to one of us. plus i spent more than an hour with her. made like 3 phone calls to different stores. explained to her that she couldnt hold anything during the toy sale and then insisted that the other store hold them for her anyway. and threatened to go to another store to buy the chairs if we didnt give ur a further discount.

wtf?

we only gave her a discount cause it was like a significant amount. but still.. just.. did not feel appreciated.

not happy. =(

(Pussycat Dolls - Hush Hush)

so today marks 3 years at target. dont ask me how i remember these things. lol.

and in true tarjay style - no one showed up in the afternoon for kidswear. we tried calling everyone to see if anyone could come in. no one said yes. so guess who had to stay back - AGAIN. because muriel loves to give the guilt trip. but i love muriel weekends so i stayed back.

and she thanked me by announcing it to the whole store when we were closing.

ROFLROFL. tat was so embarassing and funny and sweet at the same time. we all had a good laugh =D

wat pissed me off was the lame excuses people make up.

"but i'm not normally rostered on on sundays so i didn't check the rosters"

"my clothes are in the wash so i cant come in"

............................WTF?

today was a great day at work. no store manager. quiet. not many customers. i was working on the ad display for the front.. but was halted because the people in manchester are slow and dont move their stock. lols.

donna you will get a kick out of this: twilight has made it to the target monthly cd. -_-

nessie was crying when my sis took scout for a walk. awww.

i wish people would stop telling me their problems.

because i hate being in the middle.
because i hate being in the middle.
because i hate being in the middle.
because i hate being in the middle.
because i hate being in the middle.

i am really fed up with target in general at the moment. and i wish it were the weekend. *sigh*

in fact, i wish that uni was next week or something. there's too much bitchiness at work. =(

i need a haircut. i want a million dollars.
