Ventilation

So today was expected to be really busy consisting of shopping, training at VE, catch up with a friend followed by a work meeting and dinner and movies at home to celebrate Mum's birthday.

It wasn't as busy because I had a break between each so I was kinda lucky. Anyway training was so much fun, neatened dvds and ordered them, returned movies, learnt some computer stuff it was good fun! It was my other work meeting that left me confused.

 So my other job was very laid back and I'd been working there since the start so about 2.5 years now and I wanted some variation and I had flexible hours . Anyway they sold the busy so now we have a new boss as of next week. Fair enough but then I realise I can't get flexible hours no more and that we are all on "trial" so the years of experience I worked up are now pretty much invalid and there is more of a chance that anyone can get dismissed without notice because its a trial. So I haven't technically got the job I have had for 2.5 years anymore?? It's a three month trial. That's a bit rubbish isn't it?? So now I've got 2 trial jobs.. so much for job security! So hopefully I don't screw up both! I'm most likely overreacting.. but I'm wog, and I'm Jade so what do you expect! But we have to now do all this online training which I kind of did a while back, but it's not necessary RFG just make us do rubbish, everyone knows knowing the name of a part on a coffee machine doesn't improve your coffee whether you call it a hopper or bean holding container. Soooo much for having an empty brain these holidays. Ooo and despite that apparently  the new owner and his son will be the only ones making Coffee when they work because they can make 100 Coffee's in an hour... it's quality, not speed! And for the record I have NEVER had a customer upset or leave because they have had to wait 2 minutes for a coffee. (oo and being on trial means I get "trial  pay" getting ripped off even more...even better...NOT) I guess because we all worked together, had full responsibility and pretty much entirely managed the shop ourselves as a team being restricted for doing something that we used to do quite freely is annoying. So not having the inderpendance and trust is going to annoy me a bit especially since I am more than capable of doing stuff. It does however makes me laugh how they want to start with 5 people in the store... DUDE you cannot fit 5 ppl in that tiny shop, 3 is max! I know its an OH&S issue, knock out one another. We also got a lecture on manners.. weirdo. Now my shifts are going to be spread out and all over the place so I can't knock them out in a full day or 2's shift. Life, is unfair.

Just a rant, basically just my thoughts at the meeting my mind will probably change, might leave, I don't know.. I guess I can't really judge if I haven't had a shift under there management yet. But anyway that is what was going through my head, and the ENGLISHES is poor I can't be bothered formalising it, that's my argument tone.
So I guess I should...

Free!

I think the title has been said numerous times throughout the last 2 weeks from year 12s and so I think it's appropriate to be said once more.. 
As of 5:15 yesterday my high school exams had been completed! Stress had left and so did everything else that lingered in my brain. For once did having an empty mind not freak me out but excite me as now I have time to fill it up! Finished the day chilling and watching Underbelly and I must say I have never felt so stress free in my life for quite some time! 


Despite mentioning how free I feel, I still have a whole list to occupy myself with for the break but it is of things that I wish to do like, make a short film etc. I also got a job at the local video shop. I already have a job but it really annoys me so for the time being I'l keep the two.. (if the pay is good for the second job). I have been craving free time and this week does not resemble that at all! I have work, work meeting, meet up with a friend, friend's 18th (gotta love 18th Parties), another friend's 18th, Mum's Birthday, Graduation Dinner, a friend's going away celebration and that is just to name a few! I really want to get cracking on this film idea of mine so I might start tonight after the Packed to the Rafters Finale. 


Anyway I started my new job today, so much to learn, so much to do, but it is great not having to work with food. Also have to learn computer systems, thank god for year 9 I.T. I can work Access.. Speaking of Access that's ANOTHER thing to the list, organise the DVDS at home! I'm looking forward to the upcoming weeks, even though I'm not going to schoolies, I won't fee3l guilty for indulging on video games and bludging around and can FINALLY fill all those photo albums and frames with photos that have been sitting around since June this year! 


Acting school was amazing tonight, I usually am hopeless with script work, but for 2 classes we have been working on little audition pieces and when I performed it today for once it didn't seem fake or theatricalised. It was a scene between two sisters and my character was the one who had sex with some recently divorced man. It was from the Aussie film, Love Serenade, 1996. I ALWAYS cop the weird roles! In saying that, I really enjoyed this scene it had a turning point in the mood basically being sisters arguing so it was easy to find a connection! We also had a freeze tag round in class that was without a doubt, the funniest run ever! 


That's my day..

Early stages yet for this blog, hopefully my writing will progress and be of an interest to you. It's just like an online journal I think. I haven't really set a theme to this blogspot yet so for now ITS ALL ME! Myspace to brag, vent, complain and talk about all stuff JADEYPOX
