Chocolate Bullet - a new love

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 06:38:12 GMT

One of my work colleagues has got me on chocolate licorice bullets... hmmmmm... so good. He bought the cheapie ones last week. About 30 mins ago, I went for a stroll to Darrel Lea and bought good ones for $3.00 - yummmmmm... I love. Someone take them away from meeeeeeeeeeeeee...!

Tee hee...

I have a rental inspection tomorrow, so will be working from home, hoorayyyyyy...!

and maybe going ice-skating too...

My contract technically ended on the 21st May 2006... My mgr told me to come in anyway, and I attempted to log into my PC. It said my account was expired. *cry* *cry*

My mgr forwarded me an email later in the afternoon, one of those FYIs, the HR chick claims she sent me a new contract via internal mail. Well, of course, I never received anything!

Every organisation I've worked for, Human Resources, has got to the the slackest department there is. I mean, really, WTF do they do for a living? Sheesh! >_<

Also, I've decided to leave the nest, its the telling the parents thing that I'm going to leave the nest thing that I'm a bit worried about it, since I'm the eldest. But honestly, its time for me to go...

Behind...

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:17:05 GMT

Hmm... I'm a bit behind on amethystangel.net - I'm planning a traffic light tutorial. Honestly, its not gonna be that in-depth, just the laziness taking over and also my make-up fetish. Yeah, I buy the stuff, but never wear it. I'm an idiot, needless to say. And I'm an internal blonde, but that's another story. A joke between me and whathisface @ work. No, not my mgr. My mgr already thinks there's something wrong with me, because I've been too quiet as of late. But I shall return...

hmmm...

It is April Fool's day.

My bf played a joke on me today, like he does every year, except I didn't fall for it.
I was asleep and he sent me an SMS, this is how it went.

BF: Darling, I have to urgently go to the ACT for three weeks as of Monday because of a huge stuff up with a parole transfer!
Me: Oh cool, do they pay for you?
BF: Yea, but the director told me I may have to accept as additional ten week posting because of my social work degree.
BF: I may have to do some admin stuff over there for ages, can you look after my unit and bike?

At this point, I was thinking, WHAT IS THE FUCKING DATE TODAY?

ME: Oh i c... ITS APRIL FOOLS DAY, YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!

Then he rings me up laughing... He thinks he's funny.

@_@

hmm...

Another blunder by EX company

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 15:46:38 GMT

Well, I came home to my final payslip - to find I still have 5.85 hrs owing to me in annual leave. Do payroll not understand the concept of 2 weeks notice, resigned, pay out annual leave? I guess not, cos the payroll person is blonde.

I know, so what if its 5.85 hrs? It is $93.25 (before tax) - it may seem measly, but I can get a pair of awesome jeans for that amount. Well, I need to pay off two pairs of $200 jeans I put on lay-by the other day.

DAMMIT, I WANT MY MONEY!

This is the first version of my email to payroll:

Hi there,

I received my final pay slip in the mail today and find that I still have 5.85 hrs (0.8 days) of annual leave owing to me? Why wasn't this paid out completely? I gave sufficient notice regarding my resignation... two weeks notice, that's it. Everything has been returned. And I even turned up on my last shift, which is more than what I can say for most people. So please do me the courtesy and pay out everything that you're meant to.

Also, I had requested a certificate of service on the 12 March 2004. I have yet to receive it...

Please rectify all requests as soon as possible. ie. pay out the remaining annual leave to go in this Thursday and generate a copy of the certificate of service and pass it onto CM.

Thank you,
AC

Threatening, yes? Of course, I am fuming! Over 100 buckeroos!

Second version I sent off:

Hi there,

I received my final pay slip in the mail today and find that I still have 5.85 hrs (0.8 days) of annual leave owing to me? Could you please make payment into my account for the remaining 5.85 hours (0.8 days) of annual leave, as I gave sufficient notice for departure from *censored*.

Also, I had requested a certificate of service on the 12 March 2004. I have yet to receive it...

Please rectify all requests as soon as possible. ie. pay out the remaining annual leave to go in this Thursday and generate a copy of the certificate of service and pass it onto CM.

Thank you,
AC

I know, you don't need to tell me, I'm terrible. But you know what I want. That's right, I want JUSTICE!!!

The way to my heart is my tummy...

I cooked on Thursday night (I think), but I don't think my darling liked it. He said it tasted fishy. Yes, I cooked fish. And probably used too much lime juice in the sauce. Oh well, my attempts at being a chef have failed. My dear martian can be the cook. I'll just sit there and look pretty. Hahaha =D

Anyway, last night, we went to Joe's Fish Shack in Freo - I had the beautiful 1/2 crayfish with salad and my boyfriend had the beef. Worth every cent! Service was awesome and the atmosphere was great. I think I might have my 25th birthday there.

Then we made our way to Gelare - one of our main retreats. It's near where my boyfriend lives and we like their stuff.

And today, I made a cake! See below...

Okay, it doesn't quite look like it, but almost! And it was super delish!!

I love food!!!!!!!!!

Good Friday...

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 15:57:53 GMT

I spent my afternoon sleeping on my bf's couch... was having dreams about car racing (bf was playing Gran Turismo 4) and someone trashing a chinese restaurant. I know, weird. Hahaha, that's me!

Yes, I just came back from watching Miss Congeniality: Armed and Fabulous - the first one was better, I have to say. My sister thought so too. We had coke and popcorn and now I probably won't be able to sleep.

Must go and taketh out my contacts lenses... Nighty night!

The Long Weekend...

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 15:27:57 GMT

The start of a long weekend... well, not really a long weekend for my hunnie-buns, he's having his holidays now (Tues - Fri), then he goes back to sucky work on Saturday.

Instead of getting sloshed and wasting our money, we had delicious BBQ Pork spare ribs (secret recipe) with steamed vegies (I drown mine in butter - I love it). Then we went to Gelare for some icecream - I had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Jamaican Chocolate - it was delish and I was in heaven. Been craving it all day.

Right now, we are watching Starship Troopers - I am sort of watching it, but not really.

Anyway, have fun children!

Designate this!

Tue, 08 Mar 2005 17:19:48 GMT

I resigned today, handed my TL my 2 weeks required notice, so I can get all the annual leave owing to be paid out. But damn that tax man, he'll take a good chomp of it... bastard!!

I have to do some stupid employee exit questionnaire, its really a load of bull shit. They want to know why we're leaving - the bottom line for me is that my non-existant career just isn't going... ANYWHERE, and it's no thanks to Buzzing Bees... and also the renumeration. It's called minimum wage. Buzzing Bees does everything at the minimum level.

Oh well...

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat, 26 Feb 2005 08:27:37 GMT

I GOT A NEW JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! in a bank!!

I AM HANDING IN RESIGNATION... WHAT DAY SHOULD BE MY LAST DAY, ME THINKS??? I THINK I'LL GIVE 2.5 WEEKS... JUST IN CASE HR DECIDES TO SCREW ME OVER WITH PAYING MY HOLIDAYS OUT...

I am going to get drunk tonight with my friend Dweena and her friend from work... who I have heard so much about but never met. But will tonight. I'm sure she will be cool.

I cleaned my room today... *so proud of myself*

Yey Yey!!

Tue, 15 Feb 2005 12:28:20 GMT

YEY!!!!!!

I got another job interview for Friday!! Woo-hoo!!! I'm so excited, I hope to be out of my current employment by March...!!!

A BUNCH OF SCROOGES...

Tue, 15 Feb 2005 12:26:36 GMT

Oh my god! When I went to work this morning, the training room was hot and stuff - airconditioning was switched off at work... and they WONDER why 44 people quit in January. Apparently they're trying to cut down costs by turning off the aircon... hello??? 44 people quit, isn't that enough costs having been cut? You're paying 44 people less, you f**king idiots! And I also heard that no-one's been applying, they've resorted to hiring idiots off the street who CAN'T spell... *shakes head in disgust*

I have been applying for a couple of jobs everyday, hopefully I will get something soon... I didn't study for 4 years just for the fun of it... I was hoping to work my way up, but look at me, 2 years and 12 days later, still stuck in friggin customer care... the company likes to hire idiots off the street who don't know anything... the ADSL training was a load of crap, totally wrong. Who wrote it, obviously someone who was pulling shit out of their arse.

Enough whinging for today... is that how you spell it?

I HATE WAITING!!!

Wed, 09 Feb 2005 12:14:01 GMT

Why Oh Why... do recruitment companies for forever to "check" on your progress for an application?? Surely, it is not that a complicated process... maybe they hired monkey ass HR consultants that don't know what they are doing...

I've been working on my website... I'll let you know when its up... its really driving me mad...

And what is also driving me mad is the incompetence of my current work place... they couldn't organise a piss up in a pub to save their lives! (words from my wise bf, hehe)... I could hold a gun to the head of management and ask them to release ADSL now, and I bet you they will shit in their pants...

Yes, our team is getting smaller and smaller, dwindling to nothingness... it really is fun (can you hear the sarcasm?) I'm getting good at it now... haha...

*sigh*

IS THERE NO JUSTICE......?!?!?!?!?

Fri, 28 Jan 2005 12:40:28 GMT

Well, what a fun month... NOT!!

Let's start with the fucking twat who physically ran into my car yesterday and left a dent with the palm of his hand... my boyfriend was coming to pick up and he parked outside the Grovernor and got out and called me on his mob. When I got there... there was this dude rolling around on the bloody footpath with blood spilling out of his mouth and muttering incoherent gibberish of some sort. He was apparently running in the middle of the freaking road, 2 buses narrowly missed him, you see his big bald fat guy running DOWN HILL, and he looks up and realises he's going to run into my car... but most of the force came from his hand, then he hit the ground really hard and cracked his head, concussion and all... my bf seems to think he is mentally ill or totally drugfucked. No point in claiming insurance, damage is minimal...

And TODAY, another fucking idiot wants to turn left when the arrow is red and pedestrians are crossing. There I am, standing almost in the middle of the road, trying to cross and glaring at the guy in the 4-wheel drive, me pointing at the traffic lights...

Anyway, I was surfing the Customer Care tab today and realised that they went ahead with the design and coding of it all without me... and it was my idea, I was pushing it... and they do this... when I quit, there's going to be sabotage... Management will wake up one day and wonder where all their staff have gone to... maybe to other companies who ACTUALLY pay more...

*rant* *rant* *rant*

Mon, 03 Jan 2005 12:50:58 GMT

I'M AM SO HAPPY - BEEN BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS!!!!!! *shouts in her annoying voice* I'M GOT MY CONTACT FORM WORKING IN PHP!! WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! WHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

working on website....

Mon, 03 Jan 2005 05:51:44 GMT

This is soooo tedious!!! The links are all dinky, the layout is all - crap...

blahhhh... just taking a break!

I opened up another livejournal for flawlessdesigns, to promote my jewellery - once the site is up, I'll start doing some marketing/promotion.

And today is FORCED OFF day - hooray!! We get paid for bumming around - well, I'm technically doing some work. But work I prefer doing than answering phones. My bf told me its very busy today and that the RA is running around with his head cut off, trying to get people to come into work... right...

Out and out...

don't feel like going out...

Fri, 31 Dec 2004 13:53:07 GMT

I'm sitting at my bf's PC, on New Years Eve. My bf has gone to the local pub with a mate - I didn't want to go out - is there something wrong with me? I have had a couple of drinks - 2 UDLs and a glass of wine and I started talking about dildos and Thai men with small ****s... hmmm, prob best I stay locked up... ho ho ho and a bottle of scotch... oh yes, I had some with cola before. Downstairs, the complex is having a party, I can hear music ranging from hip hop to michael jackson to acdc... bunch of drunken teenyboppers... they will prob end up sleeping together in an orgy...

Happy New Year!!!

my porn star name....

Tue, 28 Dec 2004 11:27:08 GMT

Look look!!! hehehe =)

My Porn Star Name is: Albino Kitty

Get your own Porn Star Name

I could use this to generate names for the characters in my Ingentel story, based on people at my current work place... hmmm....

doctors are useless...

Fri, 17 Dec 2004 16:08:04 GMT

I went to the yahoo search engine and typed in "coughing until vomiting" and it came up with pertussis... so if you're sick, don't see the doc, they don't know shit all... I went to 2 docs, and I'm still coughing until I want to die, die, f**king die... apparently my cough will stay around for about 2mths... my quality of life has dropped by 50%...

I've been working on my jewellery (sort of) and working on the layout of my jewellery website (sort of)... all coming along slowly. I'm thinking of the material to put into it...

*too much thinking - hurt my tiny brain*

KOOOEEEEEEEEEEE BOOOEEEEEEEEEE

Wed, 01 Dec 2004 11:15:45 GMT

I haven't written in here for awhile, totally forgot I had a journal, until I went to check my graffiti email, and saw cherrytea's comments...

I'm tired, extremely buggered... these 5am starts are stuffing up my body clock, getting up at bloody 3:30am!!! I reckon we should be paid more... but at the moment, we aren't doing shit, because shit hasn't been orchestrated properly. Maybe I should back track a little... a long story short... joint venture... cutting costs by taking employees from existing company and sticking them in the new one... I'm in the new one - and no, not getting paid more, did you pay attention to cutting costs?

I have a bad cough... I also have a work ball on Saturday. I went into the city with bf to exchange the dress for a smaller size, medium was falling off me. I'm on a diet...

See yazzz........

A frog's life...

Mon, 15 Nov 2004 11:06:02 GMT

I'm going to have to use this journal for the time being, as I don't really have the patience to install someone else's dodgy blogger software on my host web server, when it doesn't even work anyway!

I had today off, which was so so, a three day weekend... which wasn't the greatest... because on Saturday night, something bit the left side of my lip and it swelled, I looked like a demented frog. It also didn't help that I was scratching my whole body on Saturday night either... I might be allergic to something, but not sure what. It better not be that damn honeycomb - cos I love honeycomb, especially from Johnny Walk Chocolatier. YUMMMOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, must go finish my swarovski chandelier earrings - *hint* *hint* - anyone wanna buy?
