So have I built the suspense up enough?....

So have I built
the suspense up enough?....

SO here's the factual low down.

Item #1 on the agenda: NEW JOB POSITION

So last week I get a call from our regional manager and he tells me to go somewhere where I can talk privately.....I do as I am told.
He proceeds to mention a position opening at the Olgivy M.A.C location. A third key position (sort assistant manager). He then proceeds to tell me they he wants to see me for an interview....The next afternoon.
Flash forward to interview day, nervous as hell. The entire thing lasts about an hour and ahalf of grueling Q&A. I leave the interview feeling confused and uncertain.
Now understand that I didn't apply to this job. Hell, my 3 month probation isn't even up yet and technically I can't even apply for another posostion until 6 months of service have passed. The though had not crossed my mind yet. Yes I had intentions to move up, but now?

Anyways two agonizing days go by before I get my answer- they offer me the position.

I accept

my start date? This Sunday

So I got a promotion, a raise and I'm moving to a new store.

I'm very sad not to be with my Bay M.A.C buddies, but what an opportunity.
I had an 8 hour meeting yesterday about my new tasks, my new team and general holiday strategies......I got a lot of work ahead of me- I'm stating that as a fact- not as a complaint or ina way that I can't do it.
I can do it. I will do it. I will blow that counter apart.

Item #2 on the agenda: HOT GUY/COINCIDENCE/MORE HOTNESS

... I'll save this one for tomorrow.



*hey Allen when we playing crib?

You wanna talk six degrees....

You wanna talk six degrees....

Well after tonight- it's more like 2 degrees.
Shit that happened tonight is the kind of thing that keeps me up all night going " Holy shit I can't believe what just happened!"

I'm officially announcing that....

I'm officially announcing that....

I'M OVER IT!

So this is the 411...

So this is the 411...

long rough week at work,
fender benders in rental cars,
a long shift with PBADD,
and at the end of it all, I was so happy to get to see my wonderful friend Marnie who I haven't seen in forever (ok a couple o'weeks)and put back a few beers and wine and 'woodka' shots, Tango lessons etc etc.
And on top if it I got all the cobwebs pretty much cleaned out.

So I guess a bad begining of the week can lead to a great end of the week.

Holy crap what a week...

Holy crap what a week...

We had a makeup event at work this week and it was madness. The lines ups went on and on and people just kept coming....
The highlight was that I was able to do a body painting yesterday all day. I had never done one before and had a blast doing it. It took about 4.5 hours and left me exhausted. People don't realize how much work it takes. Don't get me wrong it's no like I'm hauling heavy boxes all day, but focusing for that long wore me out.
After work we all went out for drinks and got a chance to relax.
Today I have off and maximized it by staying horizontal most of the day. My feet ache and my back clicks when I walk so I think it's going to be an early night.
Tomorrow we start stocking the new counter downstairs and I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be a lot of fun and crazzzzzyyyy energy.
Then after work: crib
(it is tomorrow right allen?)

* here's the body painting I did;

My head feels fuzzy...

...And I'm thinking it's the late late (early ealy) partying I did on Friday in combination with the late late partying I did last night.....
I feel a little like a raisin and have been drinking water all day in an attempt to regain some sense of being awake and functional.

As I walked home from getting off at the wrong stop (cause I was K.O on the ride home this morning), I had one of those memory lane moments.
I took the bike path as a short cut to get home. The path was covered in autumn colored leaves, and that unmistakable autumn smell. That smell of campfire ashes mixed with dirt and cold air. It is by far my favorite season. I couldn't resist slooshing my heels through all the piles I passed. Kicking the neat piles into oblivion. ...It gave me strange satisfaction.

Last night was a little pseudo staff party between some cosmetic girls and the security boys.

DEBAUCHERY.

I'm just so not used to going out to straight places. I'm a fag hag. We went out on crescent (uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhggg) and got men are grosssssssssss. I had all these old hockey dudes hitting on me and touching me like " oh god step away puh-leeze!". I'm not saying it in a way that I think I'm all that but we all know that old men are little piggies. And like to oogles at girls who don't have a bra on.

I need more water
