2. Fax Machine... Lots of work comes from it...

3. Filing cabinet... I think there's 4 cabinet in our office...

4. Computer!!!! Again, this is major work tool!!! With all the software needed for the industry... I've put a picture of George Clooney as a screen on my PC at work. I look at this sweetie pie ALL day...

5. Ergonomic chairs!!!! An ergo therapist came to deliver me a special chair and took time to explain to me the do's and don't's of someone who has to sit ALL DAY...

6. We have safety hats (ya know grey protective hats) with our glasses.... again, this is a big DUH!!! Because BMC's installation are first and foremost an industrial plant...

7. Cute guys!!!! We are very few women for a bunch of men and some are real cute... I'm not looking for a date, I would even refuse to date a co-worker but I can still appreciate the beauty of these guys eh?

8. Fridge, microwave, water machine, coffee machine etc... well equipped to facilitate our long hours. (Fridge keeps my lunch cold)

9. A conference/lunch room for my department... There's a cafeteria for everyone but my department prefers to relax and stay in our part and I do enjoy bringing my lunch, eating with coworkers, then checking my emails or even read...It's my own hour!!!!

10. Near my office are the many offices from all the other co-workers... It's a BIG DEPARTMENT!!!!

11. I forgot to say we have phones, each of us and we get calls, work-related ALL the time, it's part of the job!!!

12. Near my desk, I have a picture of all my friends who were at THE SURPRISE last Saturday!!!

13. I also have a pot of instant coffee , numerous herbal tea boxes... There is a pot of candies, lollipops... That I try to ignore!!!!

Just a quick hello!!!

To let you know that everything's well and good. I'm not very good at updating my blog on weekdays now eh? I'm getting my butt ready to get to work, it's 6h40 something AM and I'm sitting down with Mr.MacBook!

Yesterday at work was awesome, lots of practice with REAL life people. One of our co-worker was sick, so we had to do her job and it went well. I'm telling you, it rocks!!!! I hope we'll be as busy today!!!

I'm getting myself used of getting up at 5h45 AM... which by itself is a miracle considering how much I love sleeping late...Anyway, I'll see you guys later tonight...

Don't forget your TT huh? I'll be posting mine this evening!!!

Don't know how to title this???

I have absolutely no creativity left at 22h00 the day after getting wasted!!!

I'm taking some pictures from yesterday to the job to hang on my wall. None of them incriminating!!!! The girls in my office have pictures of their friend and family, I'll have mine too, I need to print one of Mr.Cat and put it in a frame, ya know, he's my antisocial kid! I printed something like 40 of them at Costco, they'll be kept as memories from this nice dinner and as a reminder that when I drink, I totally give out Too Much Information (TMI)... nope I ain't gonna reveal anything I may or may not have said

Just so you guys know, I'm totally not going to get drunk at my Christmas party with the job!!! No way in hell!!! I'm going to be the nice, quiet and funny girl who's gonna remember every details of her party... I don't get drunk when I'm not with people I totally trust because I'd be way too vulnerable and if you knew me, you'd know I'm a control freak I always try to be in control of my life and not being at the anyone's mercy.

Well, I mean that I let myself be vulnerable when there's real trust that's when I let go of the barriers. I'm a very happy-go-lucky type of person BUT I only open my heart and soul to those I trust and I'm very selective. Whatever, it's a privilege to be on my list!!!

What type of person are you? Do you trust easily? Do we know anyone who likes to be at the mercy of freaking everybody? I don't think it would be a sane thing... But I'm not a freaking shrink, I only say it as I see it! My 2 cents worth!!!!

Everything's ready for my week, I am very excited to start the 2nd week there, I love challenges and I'm a fighter... I've got one and a half more week with my trainer, she'll leaving in vacation next Thursday and I've got to be able to take the lead and you know what? I'll take it... There's no worries or doubts or insecurities in regards to this... Fuck, I'm confident eh?

On this guys, I'm going to drag my butt in bed! Have a great week!!!

Tales from the girl who got drunk last night...

And we can say that I was really drunk. My friends got together to celebrate the end of my contract at The Parish and my new job at Big Multinational Company. Soo many people that I love were there, you know when the best of the best get together? The dinner and party was at TFB and SW's house who btw wasn't trashed by drunk girl. except the speaker I kicked by accident downstairs who also bumped the freaking wall

We ate fondue with lots of side dish, drank good beer, wine and Porto... The evening was amazing and I was very happy. We laughed our ass off, talked about my blog and the things I would say or not say today. We commented on people's nickname. The Tall Friend doesn't think his nickname is original, I could have put more thoughts in finding one. TFB was hysterical when I told him how I had named "Annoying Liturgy Lady".... I was like "What, don't ya think the name fits her?"

I'm very happy about the party, our hostess is the best... Gosh, I love these people...

On another note, let it be known that Mr.Cat didn't sleep with me last night...I got up at 6h20 ish, the walls were kinda spinning... I realise I was naked, I got to the bathroom, washed my face because I was still wearing makeup, brushed my teeth, got stuff out of the bed and started to call Mr.Cat "where the hell are you Mr.Cat??? Aren't you going to sleep with mommy?" I could hear him think "if you think I'm gonna sleep with you when yer drunk and naked, forget it"

Anyway, he eventually came and cuddled, we slept until 9h20 ish... I made coffee, put jammies on (before making coffee) , called TFB to let him know I was alive and well... Told him he now knows the reason why I don't go to bars to party, it's because I'm such a happy drunk and I'm lovey and would end up waking up with some strange dude the next day not that I've ever done it ....

Anyway, I got a beautiful card, a frame with an amazing text from Passionate One ( she's an amazing writer) and they bought me a router. But the best thing in my eyes was to be with them, have fun with them and have them in my life. That's the gift, having amazing people in our life is what makes the difference don't you think?

TFB, SW, their daughter and I are going for late breakfast around noon. They'll be picking me up... But luckily, I'm not drunk this morning!!!!

An update on me....

Saturday morning, 11 am... I'm sitting in my living room with a coffee and my MacBook, I'm thinking of my first week at Big Multinational Company....

I love the job, I've had a very good week. I've learned a lot, I have learned so much. The computing system is new for me, the terminology for this specific industry. The codes, everything, it is all new but I know I'm learning fast. I know because my co-workers told me this week how amazing it was that after 3 days I was able to enter PO's in the computer and function pretty well in this new "world", they told me I was catching on everything they were explaining, remembering names, codes, functions, etc. I know this doesn't sound very humble but I am intelligent and willing to do whatever is needed to perform and be professional.

I was asked by Jehara why do I need to wear safety apparel to get to my office, it was intriguing for her. here's my answer:

BMC's installation are industrial first and foremost. Then you have the executive and executive employee that deal with clients, customer services, planners, directors, and all that jazz...

The plant is HUGE, the way my office is situated makes that I have to cross the whole plant to get to our offices. (does it make sense???)

I have to wear security apparel because an industrial plant is something with safety norms. To wear the appropriate apparels keeps the employee safe. :) I wear steel toes shoes (have to wear them all day), protective glasses (when in the plant part, not in the offices) and in some part of the plant, ear plugs...

Last night, The Passionnate One (TPO), her sister and I went to a show and had a couple of drinks, laughed and really it was a fun evening.... Tonight, some friends have organised a dinner in my honor to celebrate the new job and a goodbye party for The Parish. I can't tell you more because I don't know more. I only know TFB, SW and TPO are in charge, don't know anything else (which is fine). I'll be picked up at 18h00!!!!

I'm gonna be cooking and cleaning this afternoon because tomorrow I'm going for breakfast with TFB and SW and going to Costco in the afternoon!!!! I'm in a very good mood and happy to be relaxing and enjoying a cool saturday!!!!

Whacha up to this weekend?

Someone asked for a church story, here's one...

Overheard after the PAC meeting tonight... We were having coffee and wine after the meeting, Older dude and former politician decide to leave. We all say goodbye... The get back 30 seconds later telling us the door's locked. I take TFB's keys and offer to unlock it. I get to the door:

Older Dude: Aren't you scared to be alone with us?

Me: Nah, why would I be???

OD: I told former Politician I would push you on the wall (then he tries to push me gently, jokingly done, cornering me)

ME: I'm warning you, having your ass kicked by someone who wears steel toe shoes will be painful...

Former Politician cracks up and laughs his ass off Older Dude wasn't laughing...

Honest to God dude, don't piss off a woman on her period. It's dangerous!!!!

Got an award...

Joy from Joy is The Moment gave me an award.



Thanks, you've made my day. I'll share the love this weekend (it's too crazy this week)

Can you tell how happy I am???

I would have stories to tell

But I don't want to do it because I don't want to reveal anything related to the industry I'm working for. For confidential reasons... But my day was very very good, I love the person training me, she's great and I wanna go in the morning because I feel happy there...

So instead I'll tell you a parish story from tonight.

We were all taking down the exhibit this evening... The Friendly Boss, Sweet Wife, Administrative Friend (husband of Cute Friend), The Tall Friend and his wife ( my adorable friend) and 3 other members of the church council.

I totally dropped a statue of an angel and broke it's wings and neck. It didn't have an historical value but for fuck's sake, I wasn't happy at all. Someone will fix it but i wish it didn't happen...anyway...

Overheard at The Church while going downstairs...TFB and I were carrying a heavy table...

Me: Be careful, it's heavy, we should check each other's hole...(referring to the hole on each side of us, the table holes not our assholes)

TFB: hysterically laughs his ass off and the guys around are just laughing at me...

You can bet your ass that they told me the rest of the evening, "I'm checking your hole eh! " " Are you checking mine?" "Girl, ya can't see my hole!!!"

I was just rolling my eyes at them and laughing.... These guys and girl are he bestest!!! I love each of them with my whole heart, they are all adorable and sweetheart and generous, kind, I love them.

SW, if you knew her, you just just love her too... She's a real mommy, a beautiful woman, with a BIG heart, a beautiful soul. I mean that she is a friend and a mommy to me and I love that... She takes care of those around her, she cares, loves, protect, she is caring.

So we, as a team finished everything and it was fast. Thanks guys, I love love you!!!!!
