Anyhoo, I'm tempted to say that one of my jobs really stresses me out the most nowadays, seeing that people do not know how to do things properly without getting their asses handed to them while that's on the line (pardon my French...it's just that it has been repressed for quite some time and I apologize in advance if I continue on this rant for the rest of this blog). One particular thing that I hate about working at this job is that two of my managers are "supposedly" hooking up with each other even though they're both in a relationship with someone else...i dunno if that's true, but I'm not going to want to know that in person either, so I leave it at that. I mean, they're both good at what they do (one of them is a pastry chef and the other good mad good food when he doesn't burn them), but they can be a pain as well (well, I can understand the pastry chef, since she's my boss, but the other one makes it look like slavery when he orders us to do things he could do himself...talk about being lazy). And, to make it even worse, we're losing good people at the night shift all for stupid reasons...and I'm among the small few that have been there for over 6 months...tell me what's wrong with that.
Thankfully, that's where my second job helps with the stress. See, I'm doing seasonal over at Bath and Body Works and the people there are mad NICE and do their jobs right. They obviously know what they're doing and so forth and it's refreshing when I come into work on the weekends. The person that hired me is awesome and her daughter attended the same high school as I did (but graduated five years before). All of my managers are friendly and are able to help me out...what's even better is that I have two friends from college that work alongside with me and that makes my day even better knowing that I'm not alone. I've made some new friends while working at BBW and it's a neat job. I hope and pray that BBW allows me to stay on after the holiday season (which ends in February after Valentine's Day) and keep me as part-time (or even full-time, it doesn't matter). What differs this job from the other one is the benefits and college reimbursement. I was told that the first job (over at the college I graduated from) doesn't pay for their employee's education...which sucks! I mean, I want to get my Master's and whatnot, but they can't pay for me? WTF?! So, BBW does and has a good benefits program, so I'm praying to High Heavens that I get asked to stay on.
As for relationships...well, let's just say that the ex and I are still talking (which is good), though it was rough in the beginning where I was still crazy for him. I still do on some days, but not as much as it was in the beginning. I still wonder as to why he broke up with me, but then again...we all can fall "in" or "out" of love just as we like or dislike certain music/movie genres. It's inevitable. Nothing to do with that. On the good side of it, both families still like the other person very much. It was sad when my folks heard what happened, but they still welcome my ex to come over for dinner and hang out while he's in New York and vice versa with his family and me coming over to visit Connecticut. For now, I'm still single and on the "market" as we all might call it. But...and there's a BUT in this thought...I have been hanging out with a few guys as of late and I might have decided on taking it to the next step with one of them...not sure if it'll work to my liking, but we'll take it one day at a time.
To wrap up this post, instead of a poem, I got something else in mind...
The following movies that I wanna go see this holiday season and in 2010:
-New Moon-->(1/8/10: Saw it and it was really good)
-Ninja Assassin-->(1/8/10: Saw it and it was fantastic!)
-The Princess and the Frog (I wanna go see that with Ally)
-The Lovely Bones (was surprised that they're making the movie after a good book I read in High School)
-Avatar
-Sherlock Holmes (praying that it's not a bust, but the trailer makes it look REALLY GOOD)-->(1/8/10: OK, RDJ has my stamp of approval. He made it work)
-Dear John (a romance movie, but I wanna give it a shot)
-Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (oooo, this is a must-see for those into Greek Mythology)
-Alice in Wonderland (heard about this when Johnny Depp got cast as the Mad Hatter...)
-Green Zone (another of Matt Damon's international spy movies...he's so good at them!)
-Clash of the Titans (another Greek Mythology flick...is this the year of great Greek Mythology movies????)
-Iron Man 2 (YES!!!! Sequel to the first one, which was kick ASS!!!!)
-Prince of Persia (Yet another video game movie *praying that it won't suck*)
-Toy Story 3 (ok, I was a kid when the first one came out...wanna see how this one is)
-Footloose (ok didn't see the original, but it's got Chace in it...he's so HOT!)
That's all that I could see from IMDB. Hope to write another blog before the new year.
