Had my first day of official paid work today. I was nervous going in, but hoped that that would dissipate. Coming out I'm wondering what the hell I've gotten myself into and seriously considering leaving ASAP.

For starters, a good majority of my housekeeping co-workers are stony faced, impatient, and snappy. When I walked in this morning it looked like one of the room attendants was breaking down and crying and everything. The only person that seemed to show any sign of kindness was the manager (who is a decent guy). The rest just stood around stony-faced and bitching.

The biggest complaint that I have is my supervisor. She doesn't explain things very clearly outside of a classroom setting, and called one of us a "dumbass" when she had forgotten something. She yells and glares at her co-workers when they are too busy with their own tasks to do what she requests of them, and was snappy with one of the room attendants who came down to get more bed sheets. She barely cracked even a smile once, and no encouragement whatsoever.

Just... gah! What the hell have I gotten myself into? I'm really not looking forward to going back in tomorrow morning. Not at all.

I just got a call from the Holiday Inn, and so I now have a job interview slated for Monday! Yay! It's for a full-time housekeeping position, but the only downside is that it's done on October 31st. But ah well, it's still a job. Plus it saves me from applying to the call centres for a few more months if I get it. Here's hoping.

Right now I'm just relaxing, munching on some Honey Nut Cheerios, and listening to some Aerosmith. I feel like doing some writing and drawing, but I really should iron and put laundry away. Mrr.

Anyway, it's a nice and sunny day, the job hunt doesn't seem as hopeless anymore, and I'm feeling pretty damn good. Here's hoping that things will stay that way. Cheers!

Eek! Long time no see. I kinda decided a few months back that I needed a break from the interwebs world, and I must say that overall it was a good thing. Though the consequence of that is now when I am online I just check a few sites then feel bored with the internet. Ah well.

Anyway, these days I've been just working like hell on school work and, in the process, made a few life goals for myself. I've decided that, unless something better and more appealing comes up, I'm now working my way to a Masters in Librarian Sciences. My main goal is still to be a professional writer in some field (whether it be fiction or academic or whatnot) but I don't want to starve while trying to achieve that goal. Besides, this isn't the first time I've considered being a librarian, though now that I know more of what the job entitles it looks a lot more appealing to me now. So, unless something better pops up, that shall be my goal.

At the moment though I'm on the hunt for a sublet/place to stay for the summer. I know that if I suck it up and go back to Amherst then I would probably go insane and become broke, if last year is anything to go by. So for my sanity I'm staying in Halifax.

As far as creative works go I've been writing a wide variety of stuff when I get a few moments in between essays. Just recently wrote a Medieval Literature essay that I'm rather proud of and rather eager to know how I did on it. At the moment I have two more essays to do for this year, one for Origins of Science Fiction and the other for Modern Social and Political Thought. After those are done it's just three exams and I'm done for the year, so huttah! But otherwise I've been writing some original fiction and yesterday I starting on some fanfic for the first time in a long time. I really want to do a lot of creative stuff over the summer, so with any luck I'll end the summer with lots of work to be proud of.

I've also been trying to get back in contact with some old friends, though it's been over a week now and none have responded back. I've been feeling the need to reconnect with people and to forge some new friendships, even if it is over the internet. I've been wanting to look forward to going on MSN and having hours long chats with people and anything and everything. But so far my hopes have seemed to be futile but I'm still trying.

Anyway, that's all for now, folks. Here's hoping that I'll be posting some more in the future.

Still alive, which is surprising in this heat. I'm surprised I'm not roasted to a crisp yet.

I've been keeping somewhat busy. Working on fics (two of which I'll post tonight), working, trying to get ready for uni. I have to start making a checklist of all the things I'll need next year. That and talk to Christie (who's my roomie for next year, yay!) and see what she's bringing. Heh, our dorm room is gonna look interesting next year. We've already decided that her half will be a shrine to CSI and any of her other fandoms, while mine will probably be a shrine to my geekiness in my fandoms. This should be fun.

Speaking of next year, my brother has decided that he needs to take me to any show he's doing (he's in a metal band). He's already making up schemes to get me in before I reach legal age, despite the fact that once I get there I will only have about a month and a half to wait. Oh boy.

Got a little bit of a shock yesterday. The monitor on my other computer kinda... um, exploded while I was working on it. Scared the hell out of me that's for sure. Computers aren't supposed to emit smoke, nope nope. At least I still have my laptop though. *hugs Lappy*
