Well, what a day it was....

Au contraire of all of my fears the day was OK and actually good. The weirdest but good for the self esteem thing was that so many people gave me positive feedback on my maturity, my professionalism, the way I was handling the news. I'm also the only one who was laid off that actually came back to finish the 2 weeks... Can you please keep those other people in your thoughts? Some had been working at BMC for many many years.

I know I'm mature and professional but it's nice to hear it by others. I'm also not the type to pour my heart onto strangers, I mean, I'm really sad to be laid-off but I'm still going to keep my head up and act like the woman I am. I'm strong, I am a peacekeeper and I can do whatever I want. Sky's the limit!

It's very important to keep a good name and have a good reputation, I will preserve it because I'm acting as I should. It's sad but I know better things are to come. Thanks to each of you for the support shown and the thoughts. I really appreciate it.

I got home early because The Tall Friend picked me up at work at 17h00. Tomorrow I'm leaving work a bit early to go to a Dr's appointment that I'd cancelled in December when my boss requested that I stay when I was suppose to be off that day. It's the day my cable Internet is installed also. Phone, Internet and TV are all going to be from the cable company, screw Bell Canada. (the deserve to lose their clients, they treat us all like crap)

Again, thanks a lot for the support! I am well, I'm hangin' in tough.

Thanks Candy for reminding me...

Thanks to Candy for sending me the link again to this beautiful text.

If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be,
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade in the morning
And that this will pass away, too,
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains,
I can suffer whhatever is happening
For I know God will break all the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear,
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

I hope you have a good day and a good week. I'll be updating tonight. At the moment, I just want to do it one hour at a time, one day at a time.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

I hate havin' to say this

I've been trying not to post this since Thursday, because it sucks but whatever, I just cannot NOT post it, I'll eventually have to. I learned late Thursday afternoon that I was laid off. Because of financial difficulties, my job will be cut, so in 2 weeks, I won't be working at BCM anymore. They wish they could keep me, because I'm good at what I do and I'm professional but they've got to lay me off. (the company's struggling because the industry isn't easy at the moment)

I don't really wish to talk about it I have told very close friends but not everyone close to me because that's the way I am. Anyway, few people know, I'll be fine. I just think it'll all become more real if I say it here too.

I had my Friday off as planned but they offered it to me, without taking on my vacation time. I'm ready to go tomorrow. I just hope no one will be uncomfortable... From what I understand 5 employees were laid off, I'll see who the are tomorrow.

Anyway, that's update... I don't really have much more to say. I did had a OK weekend, was with a friend on Friday night, Saturday TTF and I did stuff to fix the church's microphone and system and we all had dinner together and a fun night.

I need time and peace....

I'm gonna pass on Thursday Thirteen this week

Just wanted to let you know that I'm not going to do a Thursday Thirteen this week, I could do it but I don't have time to visit everyone, it'd be unfair of me to submit one and not visit anyone eh?

I had less than 4 hours of sleep last night, I had to whip myself to finish the day and be productive cuz I was lacking sleep hours. I'm home, I'm gonna try to get my butt in bed in less than an hour. I'm going to have plenty of time to post this weekend.

I have asked my boss to take a day off Friday and he said yes. Yeah!!! I'm gonna have a 3 days weekend. Yeah baby!!!!!

So I'm going to rest, sleep, give everything I can tomorrow at work to leave for a long weekend without any worries of forgotten things and I'll update later tomorrow or Friday.

Have a great Thursday!!! Enjoy your TT, I'll see ya next week!

My boss offered us the book "Who moved my cheese"?

I got a great new year's gift at work. My boss offered his employee the book "Who moved my cheese?", I read it once today and it is great. What an awesome gift. I was at a meeting tonight and The Friendly Boss (TFB) has recommend me to read the book "Water the flowers not the weeds" and this one seems like a great thing too.

I'm exhausted, I should be sleeping but I got home not long ago, I'm drained so I'm full of adrenaline , I'm hungry but I promised myself to STOP snacking because this isn't good for the tummy.

I almost peed my pants tonight, during the coffee break we were around the table...

The Tall Friend (TTF) says while taking a very long biscotti (at least 6 inches long) that I made for the meeting and brought with love...

" Taste it, it's better in your mouth than in your ass."

I was hysterical, I laughed, he laughed, TFB laughed and those who understand English got it; because he said it in English. I know it may be weird but remember that where I live, first language is french. That's the day-to-day language for 99% of people in my area. So well, not everyone understood what he meant but it was so funny. While I was giggling, I thanking God for the Kegels I do regularly, it helped me not to piss my pants.

Everyone loved the biscottis and the coffee but The Parish Priest who (DUH!!) said "This cookie is very dry". No shit It's suppose to be that way, I tell him, , it's not a chewy cookie. No one is forcing you to eat em' you know. I just thought about saying my sarcastic comment, I STFU. Dude, the guy doesn't understand not to mess with a girl on her period. Grawrr!!!

Crap, it's almost midnight, I'm so going to be tired tomorrow. Bad, bad No Nonsense girl.

These people need our thoughts, strength and prayers...

Follow the link, it's confession of a CF husband. The guy and his wife (Tricia) are expecting a baby, she (Tricia) is on the latest stages of cystic fibrosis.

Please, visit them, think of them, pray for them, for their baby girl Gwyneth Rose who is expected to be delivered by csection Friday if mom is OK. Baby girl is 25 weeks, mom is very very ill .

Please guys, help them, send them prayers, vibes, love, thoughts... Save the mom and the baby.... Please God, make a miracle happen.

I hate mondays... am I alone?

Every freaking Monday reality hits me in the face "crap, the week started again", weekend should be longer.

To make it worse, the coffee machine was still broke at work. (in my department) That alone almost drove me to the edge! I get my boiling water from the machine, I bring my own instant coffee (because 6 coffee a day would be 3$ and that alone would be 15$ a week, hell no!!!) I mean how unfair for us to live without coffee and boiling water. The machine in the cafeteria is awful... I bought one but it's like worse that cheap ass instant coffee, imagine your dirty socks infusing all day? well coffee in the cafeteria is worse than that. I'm just kidding, it's not that bad.

The repair guy came around 14h00, I wave to him "you are my hero!!!" he open his eyes and starts to tell me he doesn't know how to restart the machine oh for fuck's sake, why are you here??? Shouldn't you know how to do that, isn't that your job? Oh, I'm sure there's someone you can call do I tell him and he proceeds to call on his cell phone. It's not working he tells me... "I know, it's impossible to get a signal here, it's because of the walls, you're going to have to use our phone or go outside... An hour later he comes in my office and tells me the machine should work in a matter of 15 minutes. Boy, were we all happy!!!

So , I'm sure you already have guessed that I'm in my jammies, on the couch, getting ready for bed. I've got a long day ahead of me tomorrow, a church council meeting in the evening and a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

I'm actually feeling better, I've had a rough couple of days for many reasons... It's gettin' better, It always does. I wish I could put my kindness aside and translate for you a text from the parish bulletin from this Sunday , I told TFB tonight "I makin' fun of the text with you but I wouldn't dare put it on my blog! I'd probably get purgatory days for it!!! I'm not posting it but I'd be funny, lets keep it at that.

Have a great week girls and guys!

The weekend is over eh?

When you look at the clock on a Sunday night and realise it's 19h00, it's shocking because it means the weekend is almost over eh? Uh no!!! I want a longer weekend, I wish I controlled time. Don't we all?

This girl actually went to mass last night? Yup, I did! I lite a candle (cost me 4$ ) but that was my outing of the weekend. I did not do anything else other than going to the public library... I was suppose to go out for dinner tonight but it was cancelled.

I'm anti-social, I'm looking forward for weekends to just rest, relax and not see a lot of people. Maybe I'm depressed? Anyway, that's my short update, Mr.Cat and I are alive and well, I'm reading a book called "Company man" and it's very good!!!

How was your weekend? Anyone with so little to describe? I mean how strange it is??? I enjoy time in my jammies!!!! Big plans for the week? I have a church council meeting on tuesday, that's about it for the moment.

TGIF!

It's finally Friday, I just wanted to let you know and those who left me comments that I'll visit that I'll do it tonight and tomorrow. I was sick yesterday, I had bad reflux all day, puked a few times ... I know TMI, I hanged in there and finished my day at work. Even went to the hairdresser after work but when I got home, I took Nexium right away, took a long bath and went to bed. It was 20h00!

I need to just finish the day, take myself to the mall at Bigger City, grocery shop and get home and relax the whole weekend.

So don't worry, I'm not going to die!!!

I'm in jeans, I baked biscottis all afternoon, I'm now watching TV while surfin' the web, reading my friend's blogs to be up to date with you guys!

An update AKA I'm too lazy to blog....

Hey guys, I'm finally updating. I've been too lazy, too tired, too busy to post an update. You know, when you don't take time to stop and sit down, it makes it more difficult to update eh?


I worked Thursday and Friday, which was okay. I wasn't swamped with work but I kept myself occupied, I had a party/dinner on Friday night, it was really fun, food was good, friends were great, we danced and laugh a lot.

And yesterday, jeez, I was in charge of keeping TTF busy in the afternoon to keep him away from his home because we were doing a surprise party for his birthday, so TFB and I kept him busy doing stuff for the parish. move boxes, item, physical work that I had to do also. But I had to make up stuff to keep him with me and he thought I was insane but I had a good excuse and he didn't know there was going to be a party! And he knows I'm not a needy, insane girl... The party was fun, many people, great food, he deserved it because he's great. I got home after 2h30 AM, that was very very late. I slept until 11h30.

I'm in my jammies, I am slowly getting ready to work tomorrow...I wish I could stay in my pajamas but whatever... I'll be working but I'm whining for no good reasons, I have Tuesday and Wednesday off. Can you believe it's going to be the year 2008 in a few hours???

Whacha been doin'? Anything fun? Special? Blog worthy? Tell me!

Thirteen random things....

1. I could sleep late tomorrow morning if I didn't have to work...

2. I could stay up late tonight and watch TV and relax if I didn't have to work tomorrow and Friday.

3. I'd do a "stay in your jammies" day on Thursday and on Friday....

4. I could hang with friends who are lucky enough to be in vacations.

5. I'd watch again Schindler's list and cry like a fucking baby. I did watch it last night and I was hysterical, in tears, weeping like a baby.... This movie keeps me going, it kicks my ass and pushes me to look forward and to remember that hope and courage are fuel for happiness and that nothing can't be survived and when there's a will, THERE IS A WAY!

6. I'm gonna have lunch with the girls at work, 99% of the time I eat lunch in our conference room with the others people in my department but I'm gonna join the girls tomorrow. I think we are going to be 6 or 7 tomorrow, not more than that so we'll get together.

7. On Friday, a co-worker and I have already decided to eat at a Nice Restaurant for lunch. That's going to be fun!!!! I'm slowly making friends, knowing more people and getting along with people outside of my team. It's not easy to get to know people you don't work with closely but it is soo worth it. I love my co-workers!!!!


8. On Friday night, I'm going to The Psych Nurse for dinner, a lot of us are getting together, a pot luck dinner and a party afterward. That'll be great!!!!

9. Saturday night, dinner to celebrate The Tall Friend's birthday. If any one's reading STFU about it, it's a surprise party.

10. On Christmas eve, we were at The Nurse's house, having a fun time and around 1 AM I asked her if there was some place I could lay down and believe it or not, I slept until 3 AM when TYP woke me up to leave. Dude, I was exhausted!!! I had gotten up around 5h45 that morning....

11. I bought chocolate today while out at Boxing Day and ate 6 pieces of it this evening! I'm soo going to gain weight!

12. I can't wait to get to the Store to use my gift card and buy clothes!!! Not that I need any now but ya know, a girl always needs clothes eh?

13. I bought a gift card this afternoon to give The Tall Friend for his birthday, he's celebrating a special one this year. I'm going to write him a text!!!!! Many of his friends will be there, he will be very happy and touched!!!

14. That one is because of Claudia, I think I'm going to go buy the second bra that I tried when I got fitted. I hope you kinda feel guilty hon because I'm addicted now!
