So about three weeks ago, Margaret announced the winner of the Bath and Works giveaway and that I won. She sent the package shortly after and I received the package on the 11th of February.
Well, what I mean by “received” is that it was delivered, but since no one answered the door (my roommates couldn’t be bothered to answer the damned intercom’s phone), they left a slip for me to pick it up. Since I had just started work and I wasn’t going to be in the post office’s area anytime soon, I asked my friend, RN, if he could swing by after his classes to pick it up for me. He went the day after (on Tuesday), but they couldn’t find the package. I was a little peeved, but I thought that I could go in on Saturday for it and they could find it. Well, I realized I couldn’t go on Saturday, so I saved it for the following Tuesday morning, the 19th of February.
I went into the office with my slip and photo ID and waited for what seemed like ten years instead of ten minutes. They couldn’t find the package… again. Knowing that they only keep packages for 10 days, I asked them what my options where. I was told to call the supervisor in the morning before the mail carriers would leave. I called and called and called. Sometimes when I called, no one would answer. Other times, I would be put on hold for an obscene amount of time (I’m on my cell phone, by the way). After a few days of the whole phone situation, I was pretty pissed off, to say the least.
They had my name and number and by Saturday, I was giving it a lost cause and assumed the package for lost. Then, on Monday evening, in the middle of my break, I received a call (or voicemail rather) that they had finally found my package. I asked if they could deliver the package and leave it in the mail area, but the supervisor was afraid that I’d have to sign for it (which I had highly doubted, but I wasn’t going to argue), so he said it would be much better if I could just go in.
I realized that I have quite a bit of time on Tuesday to get things done, especially in the morning, since I don’t have to show up for work until 2pm, so I planned to go to the office. After many weeks of many different emotions running around, I finally got her package in my hands, which I opened at work only to realize that she had completely overcompensated in the box size.
Now the fun part comes when I can finally try these items out. Thanks a lot Margaret! (And not so many thanks to the post office for the delay…)
Well, two actually. I’ve really got to start leaving some posts ready to be published in the event that I can’t get to posting on that day. See, Sunday was my leisure day. It was the day of rest (both religiously and not) and well, I rested. I’m still trying to catch up on a reading all of the blog posts within the last week or so and it’s taking me awhile. I’ve replied to as many comments as I could; I still have to return all those comments as well.
The test went okay I suppose. I could have been much more prepared for it, but oh well. It’s done with and now all I can do is just make sure not to fall behind, right?
I’ve been thinking of a new layout for a while now. I finally found my photographer and the picture that I will use. It’s still going to be a red and dark theme, but I’ll make it work all together; don’t worry. I’ll have a beta site set up so I can get some feedback on some trusted people and hopefully, this will be one step forward in my progress as a designer.
Anyway, I should be heading to bed now. Good night all and hopefully, I won’t fall out of this posting process again anytime soon.
Seriously, this whole week, I’ve barely had any time to do anything that I’d like to do. For example, I have to reply and return a whole crapload of comments. I also have to read about 100 blog posts (though half of that is due to Joana and Mike).
But first, study for test tomorrow and do the three assignments that were supposed to be done weeks ago.
After that, I should have more free time. That is, if I’m not trying to catch up on sleep. I really want to take a nap now, but I know that if I do, I will surely sleep.
Or will I? Maybe I’ll flip a coin. Wish me luck tomorrow!
Do you know why you shouldn’t? Because they will beat you up in ways you didn’t think possible. Their limbs are so easy to fall off sometimes that they could bonk you upside the head.
What’s my personal experience with these damned mannequins? As I was trying to put a dress on one, I had to lift the top half of its body. Since I didn’t want the dress to fall to the floor, I was also trying to hold it up as well. Somehow, the stupid thing ended up smashing a sliver of my right ring finger in between the two halves. As soon as I got my finger free, all I thought happened was a nice line of skin breakage.
But no. The mannequin had more evil ideas. Not only did it create a small line of breakage underneath my skin, it also ballooned my ring finger to a horrendous purplish-brown color. Yes, my finger was badly bruised and in pain for the rest of the night. I had to put a band-aid on it to stop myself from looking at it in disgust and horror that such a thing could do that to me.
Moral of the story: Don’t think the mannequins are all that cute. They’re vicious inside. Like kitties.
So, I missed a day of blogging. Goodness. I was quite tired though. Do you know when I went to bed last night? At 9:45 pm. Yes, that is quite amazing considering the fact that I haven’t done that in ages. Well, when I lied down, I was under the impression that I would only be napping for about two hours. Then I’d get up and get some work done. However, that didn’t happen quite like I planned. Sure, I woke up, but it was only to turn off my alarms to go back to sleep.
Work has got me pretty tired, but it’s okay. I’m making the money. However, I keep spending it when I buy clothes at the store. I can’t help it! They’ve got good styles and such cute underwear! I’m horrible at saving, I know, I know.
And now something’s wrong with Stockton Boy and we don’t know what’s going on. He went into the emergency room today in order to get it checked out but since they couldn’t figure it out, they said to come back in two days if the problem persists and well, he’d better go back.
Speaking of the devil… I’m still waiting for the day when I can finally be free from the pain in my heart. I know, that sounds so stereotypically “emo,” but how else am I going to express my feelings? I’m not poetic enough nor am I well versed in the English vocabulary to make it sound elegant and sophisticated. Yes, it aches to know that he’s not mine. It aches to know that he still wants her. It aches to know that all I can be is his friend. It aches, aches, and aches some more. Some think that I should stay away from him, but I can’t. There’s just something that keeps drawing me back in and I just… I care a whole lot about him, I do. I just wish that he could want me in the way that he used to, but I can’t wish for that anymore.
I should get to starting my homework. There are three weekly assignments that I need to complete by Saturday including the fact that I still have to study for that exam. On top of that, I have a project that I have to deliver by Saturday as well.
I can’t wait until Saturday is over.
