after a series of interviews and a personality assessment quiz thinger, i got the job @ bartons insurance! i am now an auto advisor (or almost) i'll be working full time and on salary, and i even get two weeks paid of vacation! for the fisrt three months or less, depending on how long it takes me, i will be shadowing someone in the mornings and learning all about what i will do, get trained, etc etc, and in the afternoons be studying my insurance fundamentals course, so i can take the exam and be certified asap! its a great opportunity, and i am really excited, because i caan actually go places with this job, whereas retail, not so much. but it was very sad to quit bootlegger, i really liked it there :( if things work out i might be able to keep one day a week or something. i felt really bad though, because i was just about to become shift manager and get a like two dollar raise.
i'm so excited to have money, and not be living paycheck to paycheck! there are a few things i really need to buy, like a filter for my fishtank, new brakes for my car (eep) and things like a new toothbrush and some more dishsoap hahah.
my mum is coming down this weekend too, and we are going to kelowna (partially to celebrate her birthday, partially to shop for some dress clothes pour moi* for work, since i start monday and own the grand total of like one outfit i could wear haha :S i am tres tres** excited!
last night was matt's birthday/going away party @ frick and fracks, i had amazinggg prawn and chicken penne! it was irritating though, amanda's birthday is today, and they wouldnt let her have her free dinner a couple of hours early!!! garh. and our waitress was terrible. anyhoo, it was fun but totally sad, and now matt has gonee and i forgot to give him his card agh! i think i shall mail it, however. once regan has left too things will be weeird haha, i've known them since basically right when i first moved here now that i think of it! o_O
today i cleaned the heck out of my house, and it feels so lovely! vacuumed, washed dishes, cleaned kitchen, room, and bathroom, and even dusted! i did get a little too raid happy though, so i am now airing out my house :/ brrrr. so all thats left is the fishtank, but i think that might have to wait, i'm really getting sick of cleaning! :S
you know how i have terribly bad car luck? well it continues... the other day i got rear ended driving UPHILL TO A RED LIGHT wtf, how do you even do that!?! it was some psycho old woman, god was i ever mad, but timmy escaped without even a scratch, thank goooodnesss! anyways, then the next morning, i wake up and someone has apparently tried to pry the plates of my car :/ fack. but at least they are still there, thats what really matters i suppose.
wooooh, a couple days ago they had a pretty sweet techno show thing, with all sorts of laser lights etc etc, and i ended up just having such a good time, it was wicked, i danced for like five hours straight haha. kyle and i definitely ended up being the last people on the dance floor @ like four thirty in the morning, people probably thought we were crazy (especially since neither of us are particularly good dancers hahahaha) but it was a lot of fun anyways.
just a little sidenote here: the weather has been amazing, sunny and about 15 degrees everyday, but this morning, i had to dig out my ice scraper aaaaghhhh!!! much nicer now though, i have the windows open in my house.
anyhoo, i suppose i should finish up my cleaning!
au revoir, mes amies! ***
ps: for those confused with the sudden french substitutions, please see below for a mini french/english dictionary extract:
*pour moi - for me
**tres tres - very very
***au revoir mes amies - goodbye my friends
j'ai appelé mon vide Edgar :)
ten points to whoever can translate that first.
(its cheating if you already know edgar.)
