Front Store Manager - Holly, age 23

Holy Fuck.

So about three weeks ago I was completely stressed out by Garth and CIP and decided to look for for another job. I probably applied for about a half a dozen jobs. One including on a WILD shot a Front Store Manager Position at the Shoppers Dug Mart here in Downtown Victoria.

Apparently my resume and cover letter were impressive (as it should have been... cause I am impressive.. lol) cause I got an email on Friday afternoon asking when I was available for an interview! AHHHHHHH.

So me. A shoppers drug mart front store manager! Friggin Nuts! I made it perfectly clear in my resume and cover letter that I am only 23 but am SO eager to learn and grow and become a good leader! AHHHHHH. I am too excited. Even to be considered for the position is friggin insane. Its a lot of work running a Shoppers Drug Mart but by shit, I am so excited. It would be full time hours, with overtime and benefits, but I wouldn't be able to work at Fairways anymore.. which is rather sad since I really like it.. but still.

HOLY SHIT!

I'll let you know how it goes!
xxoo

Everyones married. or getting there. am i?

First off I'd like to say I know too many people who have either a) gotten married in the last year or b) just got engaged this year. And I'll admit I'm wearing my jealous worried face. And to be honest.. maybe this is just my ego bursting.. but I always thought I'd be married before them. exhibit a. Miranda and Steve. Whoa. Who even knew she liked boys? I sure as hell didn't. And steve? I always thought he'd end up in the army forever firing guns at anything that moved. Hell. That still might happen.
Exhibit b. Jenna and Bill. What the fuck. I really don't know where to go from there.
And here we are. Me. I have been thinking about the rest of my love life far too much the last few days. Could I spend the rest of my life with marcos? His worst quality? The only bad thing that I can think about him is? He snores. And that my friend can be fixed. Could I marry him? And have his babies? And wake up to him every day? And wash his undies? And listen to him fart? Well we're past the farting stage and sleeping over is a regular affair. Wash his undies? It doesn't seem so terrible. Have his babies? He would be the most amazing father. He is so patient, loving, affectionate, morally sound, he loves kids, I can just see him spending every second with his kids. The res of my life eh? At this particular moment I'd say yes if he asked me. I guess there is just two points that popped into my mind. a) if jason showed up in canada tomorrow and asked me to marry him what would I say? Is marcos just the next best thing? b) we've only been dating for a little over a month. bahaha. Enough of the rest of my life already!

China 2.0: I love working at Quadra Fairways. I've made some awesome friends. Monday's I work in the service desk with Betty and we do nothing but laugh. No joke. She's a 40 something chinese woman all tiny and bucked tooth but by shit she is the funniest woman in the world. She worked with Marcos at #2 ages ago so I was asking her to tell me some gossip about him and this is what she says in her ridiculous chinese accident "He likes dirty pussy!" but she didn't say it loud... just loud enough for me to hear and when I gasped and asker her to repeat herself she was like "He likes young girls". I laughed sooo hard the further til called the desk to tell me not to laugh so loud. lol.
On Tuesday nights I work with Olivia in the service desk. Also.. nothing but laughter. Shes 24 and works full time at Fairways and lives the next street over from the store. But I drive her the half a block home. Last night she was telling me about her Saturday night "So I might've hugged marcos.... for 20 minutes. And then I hit on one of our customers who just happens to be standing at til 5 right now. AND THEN i tried to steal an ice cream bar for 7/11". I laughed soo hard. Ridonkulous!
Thursdays i work with Denise. Shes lovely we don't laugh as much.. but by god I try. lol

CIP - THe company that stole my hair.
Why is it that when you loose your hair comes off your head instead of the unwanted areas that have hair on them? like the backs of my knees where is really hard to shave? Or the stray chin hairs i'm developing? In anycase over the last few weeks my hair has been falling out because of the stress of my job. I'm trying to not let it take over my life, but its subconcious right? Like Am I gonna have a job in 6 months? I dunno. I wish I didn't have to think about it.. but I can't help it. My brain just goes and goes and goes. The only thing keeping me sane and being able to talk to marcos. he is just so understanding and helpful. So.. I just keep going in and doing my job. Yeah know.. I should probably doing more. I know everyone of you are going to say "you can only do what you can do" but really I think I could do more. Make a better effort. I'll try. Next week. lol.

My bottom.
So farch is coming out November 18 - December 1 for when I have my surgery. I sure am glad he's coming. It'll be nice to spend some quality time with him. That and I think it will be so nice to have him meet marcos. I think they both want to meet each other. My surgery is on the Monday and marcos has mondays and tuesdays off so he'll come to the hospital with me and dad I think.. which will be nice. THis sure does sound all very important and official and like we're getting married.

Thats all I can say right now. I'm getting a cramp and I must clean and shower before mr. popular gets here.
xxoo
