Saving My Job!!!

Posted Sep 23, 2006

Wednesday night the place I work is having an openhouse. As soon as we close we’ll be opening again for people to come in for free. All the staff that work that night will be volunteering their time. I’m definately going!!!

Things have been really bad at work almost since we opened. The opening day when there was lots of media attention and admission by donation we had tons of people but other than that its been pretty dead. We’ve only been open for 3 months but we’ve just filed for creditor protection.

This event will be done entirely by the staff. The owners wont be involved, which I think is a good thing! They’re the ones that really screwd this up… I mean who on earth starts a tourist type business and has no marketing plan!!?? Anyway, if the owners agree to this the letter will be put in the paper and hopefully people will see that the staff is dedicated and believes in it and they’ll come check it out.

Here’s hoping this works… I really don’t want to have to try and find a new job. Besides, I really like working there… Despite all the terrible things that have happened (people being fired, people quitting) I wouldn’t want to leave. I love the people that I work with. I’ve got my fingers crossed!!!!
*crosses fingers on both hands, crosses toes, crosses eyes... just goes silly*

PS. It’s so difficult to know when you’re being to specific with these online things. Theres a fine line between giving too much information and not giving enough. Heres hoping I found that line.

I found this link while searching the web. As you can tell from the title this Journal Entry will probably only interest you if you like Star Trek. Although even if you don't it would be interesting to see who you end up being in ther personality test

Heres a link to the Star Trek Personality Test... You may find you need a pen and some paper.

Also... Can anyone tell me the difference between a Trekkie and a Trekker? I didn't even know the word Trekker existed untill someone asked me which one I was

Today, May 22nd, is the 147th birthday (if my math is correct) of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

So......

Happy Birtday Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful books. They've provided hours and hours of happiness and enjoyment for me.
In honour of you I think I'll read a few of your stories and watch some episodes of Sherlock Holmes

PS. Just look at the way balloon is spelled.... Does it look werid to anyone else? Or is it just me?

What do you say?

Day before yesterday I found out that my Uncle's lukemia is back. Everything was going so well, my dad was a perfect match as a bone marrow doner, and then it went into remission.... I should have known that it was really too good to last.

The strange thing is that I dont feel worried about it. Maybe I just dont know what to feel. Is it okay to not feel upset when you think someone you love is going to die? He is my favorite uncle after all, generally I dislike my relatives, but hes great.

I suppose that my biggest problem is that I want to tell him how much he means to me, but I can't. Last summer, when I tried to tell him he was my favorite uncle he just shrugged it off. I feel like now if I say anything he'll think I'm only saying it because I think hes going to die, and that I don't really mean it. Besides, he lives pretty far away, and I'm lousy at talking on the telephone.I wouldn't have a clue what to say anyway. We never talk, except for when my family goes to see him and my grandparents for a few days in the summer. I don't even really talk to him then, we just play cards and things like that.

I'm sorry, don't mind me. I just felt like I needed to tell someone about it. I can't talk to anyone in my family because it upsets them so much. It seems like everyone is pretending that its not happening.

I'm sure it will all work out, there isn't anything I can do to change it anyway.

Thanks for listening to me go on about my problem.

Round and round she goes, where she stops nobody knows!

This song has been stuck in my head all day. I've been singing or humming it seemingly foever. It just goes round and round and round....

Pay no attention to this journal entry. I'm just attempting a new cure for a song stuck in the head. Hopefully typing it out will make it be quiet.


The minstrel boy to the war has gone
In the ranks of death you'll find him
His fathers sword he hath girded on
And his wild harp slung behind him
"Land of song" said the warrior bard
Though all the world betrays thee
One sword, at least, thy rights shall gaurd
One faithful harp to praise thee.

The Wounded. Episode 12.

It seems to have worked...... I now have something compltely different stuck in my head.
