LJ Related: I need a new icon. I can't seem to find one that really like and want to keep. I found a good layout that I've had for the past... year or more, but I keep switching icons. Bleh. I'm too lazy to make one for myself too...
Also, I really suck at responding to comments. Its not that I don't read them and don't appreciate them. I just suck at replying to them. I'm like, super lazy. Haha. I always feel guilty for not replying to them too. So, I'm sorry to my flist. Forgive me? (I just replied to a bunch of comments and I'm sure a lot of people are going to be like ... "WtF? I wrote that two weeks ago, why is she only responding now?" if they ever remember at all. Hah, sorry again).
Life related:
So, my visit with my dad. I don't really want to talk about it all too much, but he's really sick and I get this horrible feeling in my gut every time I think about him. I don't know what to do. Um... yeah, thats that.
Otherwise, I've been really wanting to write but I can't manage to get out of my own way to get something down on paper or even on the computer screen. Except for like, journal entries and stuff but those don't count. How long have I been saying I want to write? At least 2 years now. Nothing though. I don't have any of that insane inspiration to just sit down by myself and write. Bah.
Hah, weird. I was just thinking that I really wanted to hear a song and it came on my ipod. Isn't it weird when that happens? My mom is a little weird and always said that she thought she, my sister and myself had some sort of psychic abilities. Its kind of fun to think about anyway. Strange coincidences do seem to happen with me. Just a random tid-bit of information... yeah...
Ingonish tomorrow. Woo. I'm half excited and half want to do nothing but sit around the apartment. Days off are far and few between. I always love doing stuff on my days off, but I've been so lazy recently that I don't want to do anything.
Work sucks, my schedule next week blows! Ugh. I don't want to think about it. I can't wait until I don't work on chicken anymore. Despite the amount of times I've gotten into trouble there I think they finally realized that I'm a really hard worker and I actually do shit. Unlike half the people that work there (managers included). It would be prime to be a manager at Sobeys. All they do is stand around, hang out in the office, go for Tim Hortons and eat free food. Oh, and yell at people. Bah. I hate Sobeys. And everyone I like is gone or going. BLARG. PLuuus! Next week they put me on Tuesday 1-10, when the cheques come out which means its going to be pumping all night and who knows if I'll get to even go to break or dinner. Because I always get fucked over on 1-10 shifts. At least I'm not doing chicken that night...Why do they put awesome sales on during cheque week? I really need to look for a new job. Preferably not in the food industry or call centers. So, that leaves me with... nothing.
Bleeeehhhh!
I think I'm going to take a nap. I'm exhausted. |

Dear Summer,
You're a spiteful, hateful asshole. Please die.
Love Never,
Kathleen.
In other news, my dad is home. OMG what? Yeah... hes home. Like, North Sydney home and I'm seeing him today. I'm so excited and so nervous. Its been two years, almost three, I think. I'm so anxious. He just called Tessa last night and was all "What up, b? I'm home. Come holla!"
and then she called me and was all "STFUWTFBBQSRSLY?!" my reply was much the same.
Eeeeeeee.
Edit: What do I wear? What do I say?! What the shit?! AH! |

[Jul. 25th, 2008|11:15 am] |
I'm still sick. I woke up to my room spinning around me (which I was kinda cool yet frightening) then I called off work. Pretty much sucks because I'm missing easy days that are filled with instuctions on how to do things which are important.
:(
Mom suggested that I may be feeling like this because I'm eating less fast food since i started working. I have really low blood pressure so I need a lot of salt to keep myself running sometimes. This could be one of them. So, I just ate some bacon and am feeling a bit better.
Though, I'm way too warm. One thing that's great about Upsource is that its air conditioned and lovely. Frig, I wish I wasn't sick. I want to be working at the shitty job. I want the money!
BAH!
On a lighter note, if I'm ever single and lonely I've found The perfect dating site for me.
Well, I'm going to continue to feel like I just spun on something spinable for about 3 three hours than stood up. And well, probably not do a lot else until someone tries to take care of me. Meaning, when Jason gets off work and maybe comes to see me.
I hope. :(
AHHH! I hate this

Dear Summer,
Where have you gone? You were here for only 2 weeks and then vanished. You completely disappeared. I think we can both agree that I don't like you and you don't like me, but I do kind of miss you. I was hoping you might feel the same way. If not me, then Cape Breton at least...
When will you be returning? Not that I really care all that much, but sometimes you're good company. You're easier to deal with than Winter. Anyway, perhaps I'll see your sunny face again soon.
Love (sometimes and only maybe),
Kathleen |

| An update |
[Jul. 24th, 2008|04:47 pm] |
I haven't much to say lately due to not doing that much.
Work is alright so far except for the fact that I think I'm going to be absolutely useless on a phone since, just listening in on class yesterday made me nervous and make to cry. Maybe I won't be though.
I went home at lunch today too because I was dizzy and going to faint. So, I laid on the couch and watched TLC shows while trying not to die and get better while completing the work that I would have missed from the afternoon. So, I read a section of my manual and didn't understand a lot of it.. but maybe I will tomorrow.
Oh yeah
No drive equals no evolve for Nichole this year. I can not really express my disappointment and sadness with this. But I guess if I'm sick today camping for a weekend might not have been the best idea. Even more so since I wouldn't be camping with anyone to watch out for me. (Not saying my friends who will be at the Festival wouldn't give a fuck or something, just they'll be doing their own thing a lot of the time, which is what Evolve's really all about anyway).
So, everyone who's going better have an extra good time in my hounour. I'm very beyond jealous of all of you.
Well, time to go sulk in my room, watch a movie alone, try not to faint and just chill I guess.

If this happens I will puke all over the place.
'Two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.'
FUCK THAT NOISE!
Why are they gonna even touch such a classic! There's no actor or composer in the world who can stand by that movie and produce such a re-make! FUCK!
I refuse to watch it.
Maybe I'll bite these words but not for now!
Moving along.....
ONE MORE EFFIN SLEEEEEEP! The weekend is finally upon us! I am so anxious! I dont think I'll be able to sleep tonight which is baaad because I need it and won't get very much over the next few days I am assuming. I'm glad all my Evolve woes have parished into nothingness...all i needed was for the days to come. Just waiting for Leah and Vicki to call now and say we're going t pick up supplies!!! Leaving tomorrow around noonish I do beleive!
Aaaahhhhh...I can feel the aura and vibes of that field already.....
Off worky till tuesday. was hoping not to go back til wednesday, but what can ya do eh.
Notice: Saturday at 12 am....Come ring in Birthday with Corey Love and I!!!!
Other than all this Evolve excitement, nothing much is new...excpet muh sundress. Waiting to hear back from Leah's landlord on her place...Hoping I can still get it, and hoping for September not 1st of August...otherwise I lose.
Well...off to get shit done. Have a good weekend all. while we're on the subject of biting words tho...If you're not going cuz of some shitty attitude that its a hippy drug fest...especially if you've never gone before....you suck. The end.
LOVEEEEE! |

| new shift |
[Jul. 23rd, 2008|12:27 pm] |
so as all of you T-Mobile folk know, we're getting another realignment starting August 24. I'm starting to wonder if I got a good shift :/ lol
I got Tuesday-Saturday, 9am-6pm.
The good:
- I get off work around the same time 95% of the populous does, instead of 10pm like now. So that means people will still be awake and not getting ready for bed when I'm off work!
- I have Sundays and Mondays off, which are the days our call volume is heaviest. Also getting off at 6pm means I'll rarely have to deal with the call center being in code red or code teamwork, and I might get OOH'd off early!
- I'm off at a decent time on Saturdays so I can still go to downtown Boise and partay it up if I want to and have Sundays to recover from a hangover. lol. jk
- I get an hour lunch, instead of 30 minutes like I have now, where I feel like I have to inhale my food LIEKOMG super fast.
- I get a 4 DAY WEEKEND before my new shift starts. w00
The bad:
- I have to be there at 9am. lol. I'm almost never awake at 9am, let alone up and ready enough to be at work at that time. Oh well.
- Even though work is only 4 or 5 miles away, it will still take me a while to get there and back because work is east of where I live and I'm going with the heavier flow of traffic.
- Unless I schedule appointments on Mondays, I'll have to flex to see a doctor or do any of that usual 9-5 business stuff. Meh.
- I lose my shift differential :( |

Even those these are as old as the internet, I thought I'd post them for all of those unfortunate people who haven't seen Charlie the Unicorn yet.
Or those who just have forgot the magic and wish to revisit it.

I haven't really updated in a while. Hah, yeah. Sorry. Life gets in the way sometimes.
Anyway, the picnic was full of picture taking and I upped most of my photos on facebook, so if you're on my flist over there, you've probably already seen all of these. I'm not going to bother putting the whole lot up..just some of my favorite shots.

Forget my negative attitude.
The Dark Knight was a MUST-SEE movie. Go. Now. Go and see it.
I ignored the makeup thing all together. This movie actually made me a little sad about Heath Ledger being dead because he can't play The Joker again. FUCK! Go see it.
In related news, myself and one other were the only people in joker makeup... And these people call themselves fans. PHST! |

But... Saw Ben on TV for his Robot thing on the news and went :3
But still cranky
And hungry
Mom got KFC for supper so I didn't eat anything really
There is no food here that is not soup.

| First Day of Training |
[Jul. 14th, 2008|06:44 pm] |
Well today was my first day at UpSorce. I'm working in the Credo devision, which is a cell phone company based in San Francisco. A thing I do like about the company itself is that it is very San Franciscan in it's nature, meaning that they are pretty green oriented, leftist politically, and donate a lot of money to non profit charities (over 3 million last year actually). So, I like that I can kinda stand behind the company I'm working for. I never really had that happen to me in all my years of random odd jobs.
Besides finding out that, work today was very dull and slow-moving. It's training, I really expected to start to learn how to use the systems and terminology... But no. We went over a couple basics and filled out some paper work, but all in all, that put together took us about an hour and a half. The rest of the time the people I was getting trained with and the trainer talked about their kids and random stupid shit that I do not give a fuck about. On the plus, I'm getting paid to listen to it, so its not as bad as, say, a family gathering where people you barely remember and haven't seen you since you were two tell you how much you've grown and what they're doing now and how their back just isn't the same since they moved that couch a couple months ago.
Yeah, compared to that, it was better.
But, you know, not COMPLETELY bad. At our first break of the day, I ended up talking to two guys who were talked about metal and said "Germany would be a sweet place to go for that" then I thought of Ramstien and had to say, "Finland would be way better". To which, both of them drew me into a conversation about metal and bands I like expressing how awesome I am for being a girl who likes metal. And I know I am. hahaha I knew one of these guys, sorta, his name is Rob.. something.. Sylvia dated him for a little bit. That's how I knew him. The other guy's name, I do not remember. But he was nice enough. They were also my lunch buddies. I am currently trying to make friends and cling to people instead of being the reject I usually am. hahaha Oh my
Also, a guy, Mark?, during a break, did a couple of card tricks that seriously impressed me. I am a great lover for such things. Magic is fantastic. :3
We got off early today too. I'm pretty frustrated by not getting work done at work, but I'll deal. I'm sure this will be better than angry cell phone people. And, even better than a potential family gathering. >_>
~Nichole
PS
I really want to go to Evolve and am considering taking a road trip with Amanda to Antigoish (for she has a house there) if I can crack her down and make her drive me. Damn her insurance and money to pay for it. Just wondering who's going? I know Kyle is. Also Veronica and Anthony. Anyone else? I think I can swindle up some cash for a ticket if I can secure a way on Friday evening. O_o I FRIGGIN NEED SOME EVOLVE LOVIN! |

| Camping |
[Jul. 13th, 2008|02:31 pm] |
Camping this weekend was a two day event and tons of fun!
Friday was spent with Jason, Matty, Kyle, Lori, John, and Dan. Also, with some teenagers who were very annoying. I just hate stupid people and they fit right into that.
The night was decent though. Much singing and beer and fire and hot dogs and marshmallows.
Saturday I got a sun burn from swimming across the gut with John, Lori and Kyle to a little beach on the other side. It was super hard to swim again the current, but to worth it. Such a good work out. After that we realized we were all burnt and went up to camp and covered ourselves with aloe and sunscreen. We (everyone minus the kids who had left and Dan who had also left) went for a walk down some train tracks. It was a pretty long walk and the sun was too friggin hot.
After the walk we decided more hotdogs was a bad idea and he needed some greese. So, we went to Jane's in Bras D'or where I got a turket salad sandwich and too many fries. And the boys got a meatza pizza. It looked pretty damn good.
After that we got some supplies in North Sydney and headed back. Lori and Jason got some ice cream on the way back and I was jealous.
We chilled for the rest of the afternoon and got warned by an old man not to have a fire that night. He sketched out, and we said we'd oblige. A bit later, Anthony, Veronica and Wayne came. They had mussels and Tony, Wayne and myself were the only ones for liked them, so we ate them. :D
Michael and Tracey came soon after that and we proceeded to play what is now deemed Awesome Ball, which became a very elaborate game with a frizbee. The points were judged in single, double and triple awesomees. Also, corresponding sucks. It was overly fun.
Drinks and singing happened around the glow stick campfire. Green ones are much brighter than the red.
Then an early night where we heard raccoons rumaging near the locked coolers, trying to break in. Also, something I would high five Michael for the next day. :D
In the morning Veronica and Anthony made us all breakfast of hasbrowns and sausages. It was incredible. Thanks again guyyyyys.
And, well, here I am now.
I'm going to hang out with Jason soon and then prepare myself for starting my call centre training tomorrow. God help me. I pretty much think I'm going to throw up everywhere.
