    Yeah I'm the supervisor bitch

    So the shit is starting to hit the fan.
    Nick was sacked on Friday, but at least now I'll get to meet his parents.

    I'm getting more responsibility put on me at work. Leanne was pulled up on how unprofessional her actions have been (calling in sick, requesting peaktimes etc). And she's made it perfectly clear that she didn't think what she did was wrong and will be leaving the company as soon as she finds another job. So Gillian's getting me prepared to take the position on myself.
    If I am left by myself I expect to get a pay rise, I only get £5.35/hr and I'm resricted to a 40hr week. But hopefully with all this extra work I have to do I'll be allowed more hours so I can use the office.

    Ramble ramble ramble.

    When I took the job I wasn't expecting it to take over my life. But this might just be the hurdle I need to jump to get where I'm going.

    On a more nervous note, I'm meeting Nick's parents this weekend. I dunno what to wear, I need sensible shoes. We'll be camping I've never been camping.

    must get back to work.

    Love and Bugs

    This is a gift.
    It comes with a price.
    Who is the lamb?
    Who is the knife?
    Midas is king.
    And he holds me so tight.
    And turns me to gold in the sunlight.

    I love that song.
    I love Florence and the machiene.
    I found out about them on Amazon in the "You might also like..." section, watched the video on the listing and completly fell in love. Next thing I know they're every where.

    So what's been up the last two weeks... well not much. There's a whole load of stuff going on at work that I'm not allowed to talk about until it all settles down. I'm possibly the only person in my department who hasn't gotten ill yet. But I have been stressed to the point of having Monter sized head ache and a mega breakout on my chin.

    I've discussed the weight issue with Nick and he still won't budge on letting me have a set of scales. But he's ok with me wanting to lose 4 lbs (but I'd prefer to lose 7lbs). The only condition is that I do it sensibly and not starve myself.

    So I'm gonna finish watching Breakfast a tiffany's and the get ready to go out.

    I have a rather large bill to pay


    Back in June I paid the remaining balance of my bill from Celga with my credit card. Now it's time for me to pay the credit card, the interest and insurance.
    SO I'm clearing out my loli closet(there's a lot I've never worn).
    Give this lot a good home please.

    I'll add more saturday night.

    <p style="text-align:center;> I've decided to start a fresh. forget all my old entries forget who I was. I am now 20 yrs old and I think I'm finally discovering myself as a person and grown into my skin. I finally know what I want in life and how to get it. The first step is getting out of Codonas before I kill myself. And I'm not saying that just for effect. Working there makes so depressed, stressed and so utterly worthless I do sometimes want to through myself in front of a truck. Sometimes I won't leave the house alone on my days off because I'm scared of going past roads and bridges incase I hurt myself. I'm going to begin saving £200 every month and register as self employed in May next year. A either open a make-up store, a clothing and accesories store or a combination of both. There are a lot of project that I want to get on with, but one step at a time. Love and Bugs Pixie xoxo

    White Rabbit White Rabbit White Rabbit

    Life is getting better and work is getting shitter.
    But that's just how it works isn't it.

    I have been so busy and so tired lately that the internet is being forced slowly out of my live. And before anyone says it, I know the internet isn't the most important thing in the world. But it gives me something to express myself with, sharing my life and interest with complete strangers is something i enjoy and I enjoy reading about other peoples' lives.

    I can't remember why I made this post so I stop now.
    and I've decided not to bother friends locking, it's too much hassle really lol

    I'm locking up

    If you want to add me leave a little Hi-Dee-Hi message and I'll add you back

    So much to share today...Why?

    Family stuff )

    So as I said before, I've been promoted and with that comes a new uniform. I now have to wear a black blouse instead of the disgusting blue sack. Yeah, trying to find a Plain black blouse in a size 8 that isn't linen in Aberdeen is actually impossible. I ended up with a size 10, but it's better than nothing. Especially since Leanne was wearing a blouse her very next shift. And I got new work shoes too. My big and baby toes were starting to stick out of my last pair.

    Speak of shoes I wore these so much I made penny sized hole in the sole. (oh my beloved teaparties) I finally took them to the cobbeller today. To get them re-heeled is £8.95 and to re-sole them is £14.95. That's almost the cost of a new pair. But they're doing a special, get them re-soled and they get re-heeled for free. Yay!

    I got my invoice from Qcute for my shoes (paid!), all my Loli purchases are in the Celga warehouse and I got the invoice for my item in the Anna House GO (paying Tues). So thank goodness I'll have some more storage space.

    Make-up and wool )

    I has good news

    I HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN PROMOTED!
    I am now department supervisor for Ramboland along with Leanne. I signed my contract today and I'm getting a payrise. I'm going from £4.80/hr to £5.35 and I'm getting review in three months so it might go up again.

    ooooooh epic wantings

    Wow! Five days already huh?
    My week in a rundown:
    Mon: worked in golf.
    Tues: Supposed to be my day off, but due to lack of staff, I had to come in and cook for a party. I was exhausted by the time I got to class and then discovered I didn't have half my materials with me (including paper). I was so tired I decided to get the bus to Tilly instead of walking. (And heck, you'll never guess!) Max from class, the guy I've been accidentally stalking, appeared at the bus stop. Turns out he lives in the nicer part of Tillydrone (yes, there is a nicer part).
    wed: work again. OMG! people and lost property. Sorry, But you're the Jackass that didn't look after your shit, don't start ranting at me cos it hasn't been handed in.
    Thurs: This was interesting. Tillydrone has like a mini town centre. All it's missing is clothes shops. There's a farmfoods, iceland, chalmer's baker, TSB, Clydesdale, Bank of Scotland, Loyds pharmacy, Pound stretcher and an Au Naturale. Pound stretcher btw now stocks all the unsold stock from Woolworths. I got a Woolies iron. How grown up of me to buy an iron and get excited about it lol.

    And then today: Meh same old.

    In my last entry I mention my new addiction to Xsparkage's blog. It's opened me up to a whole new world of make-up for me, and I already have an epic wants list. One of the company's I've been hearing a lot about is Coastal scents. So I went to coastalscents.com to have a peek. By Gosh I'm in love:
    coastal scents )
    I found out how much is on my credit card, Current credit available is £321. Enough to pay my shoe order but not celga. So next pay I'll be getting the custom cardigans up and going, I really need quick cash. Here's hoping people want cute cardis then.

    Today was a waste

    Today's run down:
    I woke up at 8.30am. I text Anna to see if she wanted to meet up. We arranged for 1pm outside the Vue cos she had to go see her Gran. Come 11.30am she text me to ask if I wanted to go eat some place first, that was fine. But I was behind time looking for tights in my parents house (nightmare), so I called her to ask if I could meet her outside her Gran's cos I was late. She hadn't even had her shower yet, so we agreed to meet outside the library at 1pm. SO I'm there, she's not, then she calls me. She's still at home, so I go up to her house to get her.
    And you can just tell what happens next.
    We get into town rather late and by the time we finish lunch and get to the Vue we've missed the start of all the films and the next showings aren't for another 2-3hrs.
    Fuck that Dear!
    We go home and we're at mine for like 10min when she gets a call that she has to go visit her Gran. I'm exausted and I get really freaked out by her Gran. So I ain't going.
    That took up most of my day.

    The last few hours I've been listening to PJ Harvey and knitting. I can't believe it took me so long to finally listen to some PJ Harvey. She's like a mix between Tori Amos, Regina Spektor and Rasputina and I'm loving it. I'm really into the 'Rid of me' album.

    I've also been on youtube a lot the last few days watch Xsparkage's channel. Her website (www.xsparkage.com) is addictive too! I've thrown a lot of my make-up out cos, I'd had it for over 4yrs. And for things like lipgloss, eye linner, mascara and foundation, that's pretty gross. And after watching Leesha's channel and reading the blog, I've just been so inspired. I actually wore some make-up today that wasn't just foundation and eye liner. It's introducing me to a whole new world of self expression.

    Also before I go Random Thought:
    I've been wanting pastel coloured cardigans for ages but I can't find anywhere that makes them in a colour other than Pink. So I've began knitting my own. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in comissioning cardigans.
    It would be a flat fee of £30. Available in white, baby: pink, blue, lilac, yellow and mint. You could also choose between 4ply, Double knit and mother pearl double knit (which has a strand of silvery ply running through)
    Estimated prodution time is between 24-36hrs of work.
    If you might be interested let me know, and I'll make an official sales post on the sales comm.

    Anyways It's Joanna's second last day tomorrow Yay!

    Yesterday was fun

    So I'm feeling a lot better than I did in my last post.
    I went out with Anna yesterday and that really cheered me up. We went to Jimmy Chungs's for Breakfast/lunch and and I almost ate a really sharp bone lol. I swear it almost cut my cheek.
    Then we walked down Union street and watched hundreds of bikers go by. Anna wanted to go shopping and she ended up spending almost £100. She literally walked in to Miss selfidge picked the first pair of skinny looking jeans in a size 10, checked the length and bought them without trying them on. These jeans are £25.
    She always says she really want skinny jeans but she never actually buys them. She picks up slim fit jeans and squees OMG SKINNIES, but when she picks up proper drainpipes she thinks they're disgusting. That's Anna all over though, she'll say she desperately wants something and when she has it she'll get bored really quick. Like she keeps eyeing up a jacket in H&M which is like £40, she used to own a jacket the same style but gave it away to another friend of her's cos she claimed it looked chavvy. The only difference is this new one is black. So I talked her out opf buying it cos her mum would kill her.

    I met Anna's boyfriend too. he's called Lee, I dunno how old he is, but he looks like 18. He works at the Tesco in Westhill and lives in a forest beside Peterculter. That's right he's a little rich boy. He has an HD tv and a Bluray player. He's nice though, kinda quiet. But that could be cos he'd just met me. Anna already wants to change him. She wants him to grow his hair out cos he looked better with it longer. So I don't think they'll last.

    Anyhoos time to get ready for work.

    I've been feeling pretty shit lately and for the life of me, I probably couldn't narrow it down for you.
    I'm staying at my Parent's for the weekend to give Nick a break from me. And I said that to him and he just gave me that 'don't be stupid' look. But I can feel him getting bored of seeing me everyday. Or maybe he's just really tired from work. But whenever we talk, he always brings up some other woman, whether it's an ex, someone from work or the supervisor from comunity service. He talks about them in a praising way, and upsets me that I'm getting jealous. I never thought I'd be a jealous person.
    It doesn't help when he says think about my manager like "if I was working here and not dating you, I would probably hav asked her out" YEAH! So am I just what he's settled for or is he just a flirt. Aparrently he and Susan (the community service supervisor)get along really well and discuss things like how people are attracted to each other by feremones, and that's what makes here attracted to a guy. YEAH! She's a single mum about Nick's age maybe a bit older. And now Nick's talking about trying to get a job at the community service place.
    But at the end of it all he tells me that he can't just talk to a woman without flirting with her. And that's all it is, is flirting. He'll always come home to me.
    I wish I wouldn't let it get to me. I makes me get really down and it's affect other areas of my life. And I don't want to ask him about cos he'll think I'm psychotic, possessive freak.

    Is he just settling for me until something better comes along

    The tale of the 7yr old racist

    Yuh Huh!
    I was at Anna's house last night and her folks had invited over thier friends. They took the 7yr old gand-daughter, Jordan, with them. We had Jordan up in Anna's room so she could play the rabbit and we put on the High school Musical soundtrack for her. Being seven, she adores HSM. So to be nice we asked her stuff about it. I asked her who her favourite character was, suprise suprise it was Troy. Then I ask why no one ever chooses Chad.
    Jordan says: Because he's got fuzzy hair and dark skin.
    Out of the mouths of babes
    I was so suprised that I laughed, then Anna and I gave her the whole racial equality talk. I think it just went over her head.
    But I don't think her parents would really care anyway, this is a kid that has a Bebo six years before she legally should and her parent allow it. In fact her Gradma pretty much bragged about it cos lil'Jordan plays chess on her Bebo.

    Anyway, I met up with Anna again today and we went into town. She had to get her tongue bar changed so we went to Retros. OMG the corsets they have in there, I'm in love.
    Actually I'm gonna go see if I can find them cheaper on-line.

    I'll report my findings later,
    Love and Bugs

    Wow it's been a while.

    So here's my week in a nutshell:
    *Monday*
    Off Work, so I spent the day knitting and watching the Gilmore Girls (I bought it on dvd). Then I went out to meet Anna, her sister Ashley and Claire(Ashley's friend). We went for a meal at the Triple Kirks, they wouldn't serve us cos we didn't have ID and we only wanted food. We ended up in the Old School House and I had Mac and Cheese which was yummy.
    Then we went to see Marley and Me. It was better than I expected and it made me cry at the end. Which wasn't good as my contacts nearly fell out.

    *Tuesday*
    Off work again. Met up with Richard and went to get some art supplies. Then he took me round to Lauren's flat which was total LULZ. Went to class, drew like a 3 year old and got praised for it.

    *Wednesday*
    Cleaned the Congo and scrubbed the floor in Rambos with Joanna and Meggan(the new girl). We were there from 10am til 9pm. And Meggan is pissing me off so bad. She won't stop asking stupid questions and it took her 5hrs to clean 3 metres of plants (which is pitiful as the rest of us covered half the course)

    *Thursday*
    Work. There aren't a lot of parties this weekend so there's not muck work to do during the week. It something like 27 ballons a day, the last few weeks it's been almost 100 balloons a day. And Gillian is being a total ass lately, Joanna says it's because of her position in the company. Gilian is a duty manager so she's not allowed to be friendly with the staff, but she doesn't have to be a bitch.

    *Friday*
    Off Work Again! so here I am. I'm gonna have a bath soon. Go into town and buy more wool. I want to make some cardigans to sell, cos I really want somethin from the strawberry Jam series and I want some AP socks.

    Love and Bugs

    I got paid today!
    And I went shopping.
    Miss Selfridge had a sale on, but all the good stuff was gone. I did get a really nice dress though. It was £45 down to £20 and it looks a bit like the dress MKA wears in the Wackness (she only has a small part but her character is important to the progression of the story)
    I also went to Primark (I'm completly in love with there current ranges)and I bought a new dress and jeans. I've already decided to wear the dress tomorrow when I go to the bank. It might give the impression that I'm responsible.
    yea...I can't keep my concentration jus now might post again later
