okay so i was at work and had the sudden realization that christmas is like, this week.
i was paranoid about losing my job, all those qualms are calmed. in fact, i got laughed at when i brought it up. anna AND amy both assured me that i a) will not be fired WHATSOEVER, and b) would have full time work on the thompson campaign. which is awesome.
which is fantastic. plus, they keep asking me to do all these. ... 'coach' type things. so, once more, my chances of promotion are looking really, really good.
i was told to be a part of a 'focus group' today, which was incredibly cool. the rest of the day was so dead, we did bird impressions and made stewart horribly uncomfortable for the rest of the evening by having a strip show, and making jokes about sleeping with the guys on the campaign.
came home, exhanged expensive presents with lyle. he's very very happy with his, and i'm very very happy with mine. which was DDR and a dancepad. exactly what i asked for. :D glee.
btw, i got him the star wars trilogy box set. apparently it was a good choice. now he has something to do until he goes back to school.
which i am very proud of him for. then again, if he had gotten anything lower than an 80% i probably would have killed him. he got mostly like, 92% or above. :D ♥
i played ddr for like an hour tonight. my legs will kill. but it's good to know i've found exercise i enjoy. ((yes it's exercise. shut up!))
background behind the most recent discovery...
i jokingly applied for a credit card a week after i turned 18. i was going to frame the rejection letter. my friends were all in on it, asking "SO, WHEN YOU GETTING REJECTED?" and such.
i go to my online banking website yesterday, and check my transactions. i go back to the home page, which lists my accounts, and i noticed i have
- one chequeing account ((with $464 in it. X3)) - one visa 'credit card' account
i did a double take, and said 'why is lyle's visa on my account page? did the payment not go through?'
i take a look at the number, and it isn't the same.
so i click on it. it's registered to shalaine lynn sackman. which would be me.
the credit limit?
$2,500.
i'll be ordering my ibook as soon as the actual card arrives, and i activate it. i'm so stoked. i was going to use lyle's visa, but instead i'll use mine.
oh, we got the kitty this two tired carpted cat condo thing. he loves it :D
so tomorrow after work i'm hopping a train and going to whitby for christmas. spending christmas eve with lyle's parents, and then the actual day with lyle's aunt and uncle in burlington.
and then i have new year's eve off. to which will be dedicated to going to the tragically hip show at copps. apparently it's a yearly thing. i'm still absolutely stoked to be going.
so i don't know if i'll be around to update tomorrow or not guys. if i'm not, MERRY CHRISTMAS, i hope you all behave, and i hope santa treats you well!!!
skwerrel and i have our 21 month anniversary on christmas day. so, thanks to those of you who've helped us and such. and to those who told me i'd fail with him? fuck you. :D
