Happy Halloween!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

What are you doing?

Sitting around rationalizing why I’m not going to the Matadors show tonight

What do you feel?

I feel pretty good, about everything.

What do you want?

I don’t really want anything right now, I’m happy where everything is.

What do you avoid?

I’ve been avoiding letting people know that I now work at another printing company, but it’s gonna get out some time that I moved from the envelope place.

What do you expect?

I expect most people aren’t going to care.  I can, however, imagine what my former envelope boss has to say about it though!

My Halloween costume

Last night I had a drag queen introduce me to a bar of drunken partiers as the “Chinese Wallflower”

I like it!

Apparently I'm just powering on through

One of the big boss guys just came in to tell me I did 32 estimates yesterday.
According to him “Yeah, that's good… after all it's only your first week” heh.

Yay!

Yesterday's shopping trip was successful. Went to only buy a pair of shoes (comfortable like runners but not look like it)

Well my pants I deemed fit to wear to work are static-city & I couldn't stand it anymore. So two pairs of pants (+ a rainbow belt!) out of Old Navy had me good. Payless was the only shoe store with acceptable pricing and shoes that actually fit. So a pair of solid black shoes from there.

Problem being, the price tag inside the shoes said $32.99. Checkout happens and I'm not really thinking when cashier dude tells me $48.99 (or something just under $50.00) But walking away I'm suddenly thinking that's really high. Check my receipt, $39.99 + tax. Check the inside of the shoe, $32.99. Go back to the store.

Dude who was all happy & friendly at me turned super cold. For some reason wouldn't even take out the shoes to look at the tag, rather try to look while still inside the box and bag. (?) Got my credit card refunded the difference, as he looked pissed off & wouldn't talk to me, I apologized for inconveniencing him of the 7 dollars he overcharged me.

Such a Canadian I am!
