Yeah, so that wonderful week I was looking forward too completely sucked. not only did I not get the library job, but I got SO sick with the flu that that was probably a good thing! I was sick for almost 2 weeks. I slept for 3 days straight and still had to work and write exams. THEN, I got a cold on top of that and completly lost my voice. which is really not good for the church music director!!! and my final essay assignment was a week overdue and sucked. a lot. but I don't care I got it in and the teacher said that he woudln't take marks off for the lateness. which was super nice of him!
Oh well. I am mostly better now. I have a voice again. Although it gets gravelly if I talk to much, and I still can't sing. *sigh* Thats okay. its only Christmas. Nothing to sing about then..... *rolling eyes*
but aaanyway. I am tired, and have a couple of busy days coming up with the work and family stuff all dancing around each other hollering for my attention... so I am going to bed. Talk to you guys soon!

And on the 10th day there shall be Serenity
:-) I"m excited. I get to see Serenity again in 10 days. I love getting DVDs 4 days before the release.... :-)
anyway, I just thought the title sounded cool. its doesn't have much to do with whats been up with me lately. I had my job interveiw and it want really well. I blew them away with my typing speed, and was totally calm during the whole interview. It was a little bit creepy. I was not nervous in the slightest. I"m usually at least a little bit shaky.
THEN after my very good interview, I check my work schedule and I managed to get a whole week off. and not just any week. The week that the Library training will be if I get the job. and I am working 5 days a week in 2 stores for the whole rest of the holiday! How strange is that??? usually when you say you can work full time they put you on full time right away.
I"m taking all this as a sign that I will get the job..... but I'm still trying not to get too hopeful just in case. I don't have all the training that they like in the circulation assistants, so I may not get it based on that. I will find out by this thursday as training starts on Friday. They are in a crisis for call ins at the moment. which is good for me.
But if I don't get it, then hey! I will have a week off. and hopefully 10 days from now (after said week off) I will be a little more serene. cuz holy stressed! Hopefully I will get my last essay and my first exam done tommorrow, and then I can start to chill some.
and having said that! holy CRAP! Christmas is coming up way too fast! luckily I have no money and everyone knows that so I am not really doing much this year. I am gonna make up some of my famous orange powered drink, cuz its fairly cheap and ppl whine if I don't. But that is about it. Unless I get the library job and get paid for training before Christmas. which would rock. a LOT. And then ppl are getting diamonds and game consoles again :-)
Oh gotta go! time to head to my minimum wage job while I keep my fingers crossed for a better one (which will make it really hard to work the till. but oh well ;-) )

Must Cram the Dewey Decimal System!
I got a job interview at the regional library system here!! YAY!!! I still have 2 or 3 years of school left, but I have and interveiw for the job I am working towards! Its just an on call position, so not steady, but at least I will be in their system and making 20$ an hour rather then the 8.50 I am makeing at the Video Store. Not that I am quiting the video store even if I get the job, cuz work is not a for sure thing, and I would rather get a steady income at a lower wage then no income at all. However, if I can get one shift a week as a call in I will be making about as much as I make for every 3 days of video store work. which some weeks is all I get. SO YAY for me! but I have to go brush up on my Library Tech stuff and relearn the DDC so that I don't bomb the interview!
The stupid thing is that to get into the Library Tech program here you need to have 40 hours of library experience. Its like" we will teach you to work in a library when you have shown us that you already can". Its like how the bank won't give you a loan unless you can prove you can get along without it. ANYWAY.. who cares! with any luck and a new pair of dress pants I will be skipping that process and getting into the program by next fall! I"mm so excited I am having a really hard time focusing on my homework.. and the interveiw is not until next week, AFTER all my stuff is due....
this is gonna be an interesting weekend.

Fighting over a Font Size???
can someone explain to me how two people can have a big fight, yelling, avoidance, crying, the whole bit, over something completely stupid and then be totally fine 45 minutes later (or better then fine as the case may be) I just don't get why we bother to fight in the first place. okay, we were both tired and trying to do something together and neither of us were getting our point across very well. But why does it sometimes take a fight to get a very simple point across? or make a basic connection in communication?
On the other hand, if I am gonna have a fight with my fiance, I am just glad it is over the little things and not over something huge and insurmountable. I usually feel much better after a fight that has resulted in a better communication because it proves we can fix things when we do fight.
oh I dunno. But if we can keep our fights to this kind, I will be totally happy. Anything I can get over before going to bed is fine with me. We already had our big "don't talk to me cuz I hate you" year long fight, and that was bad even before we were dating! I fully intend for that to be the last of that nonsense!

My Fiance's Girlfriends
YAY! My lingerie shopping buddy is moving back!! she lives out in Ontario at the moment, but she is moving back home to the west coast. I don't actually know her very well. she was a high school friend of my fiance who comes back here every couple of years or so. and somehow for the last 6 years we have ended up going to intimate wear stores together every time. Seriously, the first day I met her we bought silk pjs together. And this was before I was even dating my current Fiance. I have no idea how that happened, but its been a tradition since then. One of those very strange things. But she is a very nice girl and I know Gord will be happy to be able to see her more often.
I have to say that that man has great taste in female friends. I get alone very well with all his ex-almost-girlfriends and high school friends. A couple of them are coming to our wedding even! I think the only one that I REALLY don't like is the one that I introduced him to (but not in an on purpose to date kinda way) back when me and him were just best friends . She was a friend of a friend who weaseled her way into MY life and was very demanding. she basically stalked him until he gave her what she wanted, and went out with her a couple of times. (and we are not gonna get into what exactly it was that she wanted either!!!) All the time demanding that I set them up and give her tips on how to get him and all that crap. Too be fair, I later found out that she is slightly autistic and therefore very focused and lacking in social skills, but it was a messy and unpleasent situation all the same.
But I saw her the other day at at that mutual friend's wedding, and the look on her face when I told her that I was marrying Gord was PRICELESS! So funny! made all the better by the fact that he carried on a short conversation with her and then had to turn to me and ask who she was, cuz she looked vaugly familiar! He was so embarrassed when I reminded him. *happysigh* aaah that was a good day. There is nothing like having your Fiance not even RECOGNIZE the only woman who was ever a rival of any kind.
but I need food now. later!
