Wow - It's been a while....

So I haven't written on here since like April. Bad me!!! For shame for shame! I don't know why, there's been so much friggin' drama I should get GH to sponsor my life. However the drama isn't all mine and maybe that's why it's less blog worthy. It has it's ups and downs, this drama thing. It's nice to see someone else getting flogged by melodrama but then it's never as important or blog worthy cause it isn't about you. And that is me in a nutshell, in the immortal words of Agent Smith "Yes, me. Me, me, me. Me too.". I like me what can I say.
It is summer time up here in Winnipeg. It's been kind of a stressful summer too. The weather hasn't been as good as it was last year. Too much damned rain. And volleyball isn't as satisfying either, not to mention the fact that I am only playing twice a week, and I wanted to play like 4 times a week. The new and improved team isn't as committed as I am. I think the problem is that we picked up too many part time people. That makes it hard to get a constant base of players. No one shows up on time. And it's just a little annoying. Almost not worth it. Or else I am just really eff'n picky.
I am also playing in an intramural league made up of TM and TN staff. We play on the floor level of the MTS Centre, which is super cool! I have a team of neat people. I like 'em all. We started with Dodgeball, which I don't think alot of us have played since our school days. It was great! I did ok, I even compared to the Matrix! But the balls (easy!) we played with were really light and small at first. Difficult to make them go hard and straight (again - easy!). There are 5 teams, we came in third at the end of the term. Not too shabby. Then we started Volleyball last week. I'm doing pretty darn good there. I serve and I hear oohs and ahhs, it's eff'n great! And my team seems to all know the game fairly well. We've only lost once so far. I am getting along really well with the guys from TN. I thought alot of them would cock swingers, but so far they are all pretty cool! In Dodgeball, I threw a ball and put a little curve to it and he went to catch it and did a big stretch to get it, and he dropped it, therefor he's out, and as he's leaving he says "I think I blew my left nut!" Everyone laughs and at the end of the match I went up to him as he was talking with the boys about it, and noticed I was coming towards him and started to give me shit for throwing a knuckleball at him in a joking matter so I said in a girly girl way "Hey, I'm sorry about your nut." I think one guy who was drinking water just about drowned himself, and from then on in I have been deemed an ok chick! They all come up and say hi now and stuff. I am the "go to" TM chick upstairs. It's cool!
What else is new... we got a new PC yesterday. It's neat! Fun to play with. Lotsa games pre-installed on it already. Now I just have to get my illegal music downloading software on it and I am golden! I can't wait to have this whole weekend to corrupt it!!!! Har har har!

Well that is it for me I think. I will do my best to keep up with it a bit better then I have been so far.

J-BOMB OUT!

I Got Professionally Shafted! And Not In A Good Way!

So lets begin. I was up for a job in the company that I work for, and imagine my "surprise" when they tell me I did NOT get the job - AGAIN! This is just getting stupid. 4 job interviews in 5 years and I got bupkiss! This just isn't worth it anymore. You bend over backwards for a company hoping you will get noticed and duly promoted and or rewarded in some manner. Well I am done bending for any reason. They want extra effort then they can suck my dick! So tired of this crap. It feels a little like putting out on the first date (which I have NEVER done - no really!) and then not getting a call after for a second date. It was just kind of funny, cause I remember after the interview they asked if I would help out with stuff like onsales at the box office and stuff like that which I happily did to show I get along with the people down there. Which I do. And one of the old school people were down there. His name's Paul, I have mentioned him before I think. He was the call centre manager up until about July of last year. He left cause the call centre was heading in a direction he didn't like. Yeah the phone room was becoming professional and he would stop having to be everyones friend, he might have to wear appropriate clothing to work instead of rock t-shirts, he might have to be accountable for things. So he left. And guess who got the Box Office job.... that's right that same guy. So it goes to show that in this company he who cuts and runs when the going gets tough gets all the good stuff just because he's been there for a gazillion years. Argh! So I didn't get told until about 4:40pm on a friday afternoon. And after being told I was asked if I had any questions, and I said no I just have a statement - I am going home now, and I walked out of my bosses office. I went home and emailed off about 30 resumes to anywhere I could see. I was so mad! I still am! I just don't know what these people want. Basically I was told because Paul has management experience and I don't was the reason they went with him. In other words, we don't trust you in a managerial position with any amount of power. Then he says that I would be better suited in the Client Services department, with no one working under me. Yeah cause there has been so much movement in that department in the local office. I mean how do you get the experience and in an entry level position like this one was in all honesty, if they keep giving it to people that won't go the FUCK AWAY!?!?!?!? Then yesterday I was asked to go down there to work for a bit while it got busy so I told them it was too busy on the opera line, and it wasn't a good idea. Go down the box office my ass! I've had a couple of calls about my resumes so far but nothing really matches my pay here. Now that is truly sad because the pay here isn't all that great. So bare minimum is what they will get out of me. That's all I seem to get out of them. Oh and the other thing that fries my loaf.... they said they wanted someone in their right away, um the guy they hired is OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT FUCKING MONTH! BITE ME! I can't win, apparently I am not meant to. So I will just eke out a meager existence since that seems to be all I am good for. Yay me.

J-BOMB so very out!
