Sage posted this meme thing called “Random 8″… and I figured it was probably the best way for me to do a super fast update on whats been going on with me. So the following aren’t completely 8 random facts, but rather 8 pretty random things that have happened recently that I think are worth mentioning.
1. I got a new camera. The Canon S5 IS. Beautiful.
It is such a fantastic camera, the one I push when people are looking for a bulkier camera that isn’t quite an SLR… except I bought the last one in the store yesterday, so I’ll try not to push it anymore. A-hem. Our store is super bad for having stock in.
2. I still love my job, but a lot of things are starting to piss me off. People don’t know how to do things, we never have stock, everyone is motivated by money… Just to name a few. Yesterday, my day off, 9 am… I get a call… “Katie, what’s the price of the Blackberry 8830 on the Bell EPP plan?” …I guess in a way it’s sort of nice to know I’ve become a bit of a go to person - but at the same time, these are things that everyone should know.
3. I was supposed to sign for an apartment yesterday but Luke backed out. He wants to wait until November. Gah. It’s super depressing. The lady was replacing the carpet for us today and everything. The apartment was fantastic, just over 1100 2ft, walk out onto a patio, right by the tennis court, huge living room, big windows, all inclusive at $450 each a month. Sigh, so sad. We won’t find another place like it on our next search. And the landlord was phenomenal.
4. It’s my step-dad’s birthday. He was born in 1943. We were going to get him a sound system, but that seems to be falling through. I brought him into Future Shop to take a look at things and he ended up wanting the $5000 system. Gah, obviously we’re not going to be getting him that… but I was looking at a $700, turns out Steve-Oh didn’t want to spend that much either. So. I don’t know. Anyway, happy birthday paul.
5. Im curling my hair today.
6. I’m supposed to deal with my benefits for work next week and i have noooo idea what any of it means… level 1, level2… opting out, opting in, vesting… I dont know. If anyone has any idea what any of this means and they want to do my benefits for me, feel free to message me.
7. Mom, don’t read this one - I’ve been looking at jobs in BC again. I miss it there. I know I won’t actually go, I completely understand that, but … it’s nice to imagine myself back out west. I have already registered for school, and got the books, and blah blah blah, so I know I can’t go anywhere, but I am pretty sure I’ll be moving back out west within the next like 3 or 4 years. Only this time to Vancouver, because I love cities.
8. I have a giant crush on a boy at work, and its bad news - we’re not allowed to dip the pen in the company ink. Grr.
