More posting
Well, I said I’d post more tonight, so here it is. Actually I can’t really remember what I was planning on posting. I’m supposed to be going out in a little while, so I can’t post much anyways. I’m going over to a friend’s house. The same friend I was out with on Saturday night. I guess you could say she’s more than a friend. I wouldn’t really call her my girlfirend just yet, but we both like each other and that seems to be the way it’s going right now. We were supposed to be going out for coffee tomorrow, but she has lots of stuff to do tomorrow after work so I don’t know if we’ll be able to get together. Like I said in my post about Saturday night, we know each other from work. A couple people at work have been joking around about the two of us being a couple, but they’re only joking and as far as we know noone knows what’s going on. I don’t really care if they all know, but she’s a little worried that us being in a relationship might mean one of us getting fired, or getting our hours cut back if the boss doesn’t want us working together. I don’t see it coming to that, but I guess we’ll see.
I can’t really think of anything else to post. I do have a commenting system on my blog though so maybe some of you people who read my blog could give me suggestions on what you think I should post about. Or at least post something so I’ll know you were here.

Not working
I’m supposed to be working right now, but I’m sitting at home playing around on the internet, and talking to my friend Chris. Chris has a new website at ConservativeSpirit.ca Go check it out.
Anyways, back to me not working… I was scheduled to work 10-7 today, and I was actually wide awake this morning and ready to go to work. When i got there the boss asked me to go home and come back at 3:00, because he already had 3 people there, and that’s too many. Sales have really dropped off lately, and he’s not making any money I’m sure. I just said ok and came home, but It kinda pissed me off. Partialy because he could have phoned me last night and told me I didn’t have to be their as early, but mostly because my hours are getting cut back. I’ve been sent home early the last couple of days because it’s too dead to justify all of the scheduled people being there. So I’m going to start looking for another job.
I have some other things I was going to post, but I have to be at work in 10 minutes so i’ll post more later tonight if I remember.

Crazy night
Last night was kinda crazy for me. I friend I work with and I had plans to do something after work. We ended up going downtown and went to 3 different bars. We went to Rose’s, Flashbacks, and Splashes. I’m sure you can see where this story is going. It was crazy because we both ended up getting drunk even though neither of us had planned to drink much. So I was feeling really sick today, and I had to work at 10 this morning. So I won’t be doing that again any time soon. I’m still feeling a little sick now, and it’s nearly 10PM. 
Happy birthday to me
Tuesday was my birthday. I didn’t really do anything except work. I had a couple people say it sucked that I had to work on my birthday, but it didn’t really bother me since I didnt have any other plans anyways. It just felt like any other day to me. My firend Chris phoned to wish me a happy birthday. It was good hearing from him, even though I was supposed to be working. 
At least he remembered the date. My own brother phoned to wish me a happy birthday on the wrong date. 
And I got a card from Chris and his wife Amber, that managed to get delivered on my birthdate. I know Chris reads my blog so thanks Chris and Amber.
I had Wednesday and Thursday off work this week. Those are going to be my regular days off by the looks of things. I was supposed to go to a staff meeting at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, but I ended up sleeping all day. I didn’t fully wake up until six at night. Apparently I really needed some sleep. I stopped in at work later that night to see what I had missed at the meeting, and noone believed me that I hadn’t gone out and partied the night before. I guess they thought I must have gone out and got drunk after work and that’s why I slept all day. Oh well, at least the boss didn’t seem to care, and they all said I didn’t miss anything important at the meeting. I still don’t know what they discussed though.
I just finished reading a funny story about a woman in North Carolina who was arrested and jailed for abusing the 911 service. She called the cops because a pizza company refused to deliver to her appartment. Only in America.

BC Liberals Re-elected
Hey everyone. Something terrible happened on Tuesday. British Columbians re-elected the Liberals. 
At least there’s an actual opposition this time, but can we really survive four more years of lies and cutbacks? I’m sick of hearing liberals and others on TV talking about the election results. They’re saying voters sent a strong message that they want a liberal government, but they also want an opposition. People who voted for the NDP didn’t vote for them to be the opposition. They voted NDP because they wanted the NDP to form the government. I was watching the election results come in the other night and was amazed at how close some ridings were. Some ridings were won by just a couple of votes. It just shows how important each vote is. I hope now that the NDP has at least 33 seats in the legislature we’ll see someone actually standing up to Gordan Campbell and his devastating cuts.
I was watching TV last night, and I noticed something strange. Maybe I’m imagining it since I haven’t watched TV much for a couple of years, but is it just me or is there a lot more cleavage being shown on TV lately? I’m not complaining , but I noticed that every woman on TV last night had a low cut shirt on, and wasn’t covering up much. Is this just my imagination? Or maybe I was subconsciously looking for breasts?
I’ve blogged before about filing a complaint with the labour board about Burger King. If you’ve ever dealt with the labour board in B.C. you know that they prefer employers and employees settle things on their own. So I have to fill out these forms for what they call a self help kit. It basically tells BK that I think they owe me money, how much they owe me, and what for. If they don’t respond with payment within 15 days then I can file a complaint with the labour board. So I’ve been working on filling out these forms for the past couple days. I should be dropping the thing off within a couple of days. I’ll keep you all posted on what kind of response I get.
I have just one more thing to blog about right now. Kelowna drivers suck. I was driving home today when another driver almost side-swiped me. I was in the left lane and the right lane was ending. There was a car beside me that had to merge into traffic. There was another vehicle directly in front of me and no one behind. So the logical thing to do for the driver whose lane was ending would be to slow down and pull in behind me, right? There wasn’t enough room for them to speed up and pull in between me and the car in front of me. Instead of pulling in front or behind me they driver just started merging to the left coming straight toward my car. My reaction was to hit the brakes and the horn at the same time and wait for the asshole to go in front of me. How the hell do these people not see me? My car’s fucking yellow!!!

Lots of things to post
It’s been two weeks since I posted last so I have lots to say.
On the 28th of April I went to the credit union to deposit some money. The credit branch I always go to is across the parking lot from Burger King. I’ve been banking there for about four years. So after depositing my money I drove across the parking lot, past BK and onto Cooper Road. I guess Cherie and her boyfriend, and one of his friends were outside BK and saw me drive by. Some guy followed me and got out of his car to talk to me when I was stopped at a red light. I drove away and he followed me around for quite a while. I just kept driving until there were no headlights behind me anymore. Then I went home, and just as I was unlocking the door the guy’s car pulled up in front of my house and he started honking his horn. So I went out and talked to him, and he told me I should stop talking to Cherie or he’s going to deal with me. As he drove away i told him I was calling the cops. He said if i made that phone call I’d regret it, and I’d be seeing him again. So I called 911, and told the operator I had some guy follow me home and threaten me. She told me I wasn’t theatened, but she would have an officer phone me. An hour and a half later I finally got a call from a constable who I told the whole story to. He told me that there was nothing he could do because the guy didn’t threaten me. I said yes he did, and the officer told me because the guy didn’t say something like “I’m going to kill you” there was no threat, and no violation of the criminal code. I told him that I’ve read the criminal code, and I felt I was threatened. I genuinly thought the guy could come back at any time. Then the officer told me that he couldn’t do anything because they guy wasn’t at my house anymore, and I didn’t know who he was. I told him that the guy was at my house an hour and a half ago when I made the call to 911, an emergency number. He told me all the officers in the city, including three that were covering Rutland, were busy dealing with a guy with a knife downtown. He said the only thing he could do is talk to Cherie and try to find out who the guy is and tell him to leave me alone. He asked me if that’s what I wanted. I said yes, of course, that’s why I called the cops. The next night officer dumbfuck called me back and said “If you leave them alone they’ll leave you alone”. Apparently me going to the bank where I’ve been going for 4 years is against the law, and I desearved to be threatened because of it. I’m considering filing a complaint with the RCMP. This incident, and my previous dealings with the cops have left me believing that the police in this city country are useless.
I’ve been working a lot lately, and getting lots of hours. Nick ‘n’ Willy’s had their grand opening so we’ve been pretty busy since then. The owner has decided to make me and a woman I work with assistant managers of the store. So we’ll be running the place, and making more money. I also had an interview at Wal-Mart for the position of night time shelf stocker in the shoe department. The manager who interviewed me said he had a few more interviews to do, and he’d be making a decision by the end of the week.
I now own a 27 inch TV. I was talking to my mom one night and asked what ever happened to an old TV we had kicking around the house. She took it to the dump with some other things. A day or two after I asked her about it she bought me a new TV as an early birthday present. So I’ve been watching TV some nights instead of going on the internet. That’s part of the reason I haven’t posted lately. Although, I mostly haven’t blogged anything because I just didn’t feel like it.
I’m off to bed. I have a staff meeting at 9AM tomorrow.
