Do I have a sign on me somewhere that says "I like mental stress. Yes please fuck up my day"???? Damn it! Also I've decided that "Federated Co-op Lmt Trainee" translates to "FCL Whore". Or at least that's what they seem to think.
Welcome to the latest installment in the wonderful soap opera "As the Oven Turns".
Work goes about as usual until roughly 8:30am when Chris comes into the bakery with a fax and tells me I need to look at it. What is it? Intructions from FCL to drop whatever the fuck I'm doing and drive down to Calgary to go work in the warehouse because they were too fucking stupid and pissed off the union members so there's no one there. The hell. Contrary to popular belief I do have a life. What? I can just up and fuck off to Calgary because you dumb asses are short handed? I don't bloody think so. To make things even better it's for three weeks, working 7 days a week for between 10 to 12 hours a day. I have to stay in a hotel at a cost of $70 a night, buy steel toed boots or shoes and my own meals except for which ever meal I'd be getting at the warehouse. They reimburse you for whatever you pay but even then it's not like I'm flush with cash. There would be a chance of me rooming with a total stranger for three weeks. Lemme tell you, I am not keen on that. I like my privacy thank you. And it's not like I'm really terrible suited to grunt work. But that's not my issue. My problem with this is that they don't care what my plans are, they want me to just drop them and go grovel at their feet. Well FUCK YOU ASSHOLES! I signed up to be a baker for your guys, not a fucking grunt worker in the warehouse. And with work hours like that it's no fucking wonder the union's on strike.


Quote of the day:

Its just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is fucked
Everybody sux
You don't really know why
But want justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker
It's just one of those days!!

EDIT: Cara Lee literally just called me and I guess I don't have a choice. I'm going to Calgary next week. I think I'm going to go cry now.
EDIT: Crying for joy now. They don't need me to go. Yet....

My god, the things some people will do. I got bored so while I ate lunch I did a little channel surfing, on my oh-so-many channels, and ran across TLC. Ok, they've usually got something fairly mind-numbingly interesting. Like that Trading Spaces or While You Were Out. However that wasn't what was on. It was some show called For Better or Worse. Plot of show? Couple ready to wed pick a team of six or so people and let them have the reigns for planning the wedding. This is supervised (a.k.a dictated) by a wedding planner picked by the show producers. This team and the planner are told the basic ideas of the couple, given a budget of 5000 clams and one week to pull it off. Also the soon-to-be-weds are to be left in the dark about this. Needless to say things get pretty butchered during this week. So I'm sitting there, watching this and thinking "Shit.... Are you two nuts?" There's not a hope in hell I'd let anybody just take over my wedding plans. Hell, the bride doesn't even get to pick out her dress. Over my very dead body. From what I gather in this particular episode, the bride wanted something simple, white of course and somewhat traditional. They wanted an outdoor ceremony, beach sorta thing. Wedding planner apparently wants to stick the girl in a bloody bathing suit! Come on.... First person to do that to me will find that suit stuffed where the sun don't shine. Actually first person other than my almost husband or my mother to attempt taking over my plans will promptly be told where to go and how fast. And will then be given a shove in that direction.

Bored. bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored.......
Ok, you probably get the point. It's 1:12am, I've got roughly a half hour before I have to leave for work. Nobody's been on the last couple of hours and I've run out of things to do to keep myself occupied. I'd take a nap to kill time but I don't have enough of it to spare. My playlist has run through three times now and I really should find some new songs to add to it, but on top of being bored, I can't think of anything new to try and find.

Oh look! Bishie dancing to NIN song... yummy.

I really haven't updated much. I blame this on my memory. Oh well.
I recently watched The Boondock Saints. Great movie, lotsa good songs in it. The Blood of Cu Chulainn from the begining of the movie is awesome. It's by Mychael and Jeff Danna. Also found a cute little tune by Lonestar called Mr. Mom. One of the very few country songs that I will listen to.



Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said I can go to work until you find another job
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom

Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom

Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr.Mom

Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time

'Cause
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr.Mom

Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it

Oh my fucking god!!! There should not be this many people in this house at this hour. I've only been awake for an hour and already I've had to say hello to more people than I normally greet in a week. God this sucks. Me = not morning person. Oever other person in house = too fucking cheerful.
