Oh... my... gawd... I... am... such... a... DORK! XD
With all that's been going on lately, I COMPLETELY forgot it was my own birthday! HAH! I logged on this morning and there were so many wonderful messages from all of you wishing me happiness and I quickly checked the calendar, "OMIGAWD! Is it the 28th of December already?!" XD
And surrrrre 'nuff! :3
Thanks so much, you guys, for all the wonderful messages and cards! :D *hugs to all*
In other news:
Saturday was my first day of work! :D I now work in the kitchen of a retirement home, just busing, cleaning, and setting the tables for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And, let me tell you, it's hectic work! Keeps my going ALL THE TIME! I mean, the last two days I've worked a total of 12 hours and within those 12 hours, I think I actually sat down for a total of 15 or 20 minutes? It's THAT BUSY!
But, I really like it so far. The people I work with are a motley bunch who love to laugh and play tricks on each other, so you immediately feel like you belong. The work is pretty much just busy work that's easy to do once you get the hang of it. You have to work at a pretty good speed, but I'm able to do that without any problems. :3 And, the clients aren't so bad either. There was one woman on my first day whom I was "introduced" to. She doesn't really like to chew her food, so she takes a bite, then spits it back out onto the table. She drinks all her juice and milk, though! ^_^ However, I think she's still hungry after lunch because she tends to stick around in the cafeteria and try to eat all the butter packets and Splenda that are sitting at the tables... You'd think that'd be unhealthy for her, but... she honestly seems alright. The only problem is that no Aids seem to realize she's there causing a problem for us kitchen workers... ^_^;;; The other downside is that also, that day, she hadn't been changed or looked after at all, so... she just kinda used her own pants as a toilet, making it stink rather badly in that corner of the room... ;>_>
Also, yesterday, I was setting silverware on the tables and a couple of women had come in early to wait for their lunch. But, as I went to set a spoon down, I accidentally knocked over her coffee cup all over her lap! AAUGGHH! I was soooo embarrassed! >.<;;; I was racing to find towels to help mop up and apologizing the whole time. But, she was so nice and supportive about it. She just said, "It's okay, dear. The coffee wasn't very hot and it was an accident. I can go change, so you don't have to fret so much. I've made the same mistake dozens of times so, I know how you must be feeling right now." And she had the kindest smile... I almost cried.
I am my worst enemy when I make mistakes. Others write me off and forgive me so easily, but I never let myself forget it. She was so kind... My gawd, old people have so much patience for young people like me... TTwTT
Also, my boss is someone who RARELY gives ANY praise. He's a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor, however he only gives you praise if he honestly thinks you deserve it. And, he gave me praise TWICE! I felt so honored! He even went so far as to tell HIS boss about my hardwork! My word, I must be doing SOMETHING right! XD
So, in case you couldn't tell, I'm in high spirits right now. :3
I wanna go see my boyfriend today... I might have to, considering it's MAH BIRFDAY~! XD
OH! Also~! Saturday night, my b/f and I went to The Mustard Seed and I had the Almond Chicken and it was sooooooo gooooooood~! *drools* I also bought 4 new manga: D.Gray-Man vol 15, Tsubasa vols 23 ans 24, and NG Life vol 3. :D Then, we went back to his house and played Brutal Legend. XD That game is AWESOME! *ROFL-SPLODES*
Anyhoo, I'd better go for now.
Thanks so much for reading, guys! *huggles tight* See you soon! ;3
