AAAHhhhh god sorry for not posting but damn school is getting to me hardcore. Its a matter of feeling like im always behind and then being off campus and not knowing when my next meal is coming and what its going to be... and then there are other things too. Not ready to share quite yet sorry.

But I am alive and well, if you were wondering. I have alot of shit to do though
Friday going to New Jersey - Grand dad renewing vows (hopefully ill have poictures)
The Next weekend is Thanksgiving - going home
The Next weekend may or may not be going to Montreal... gotta see what the economy is saying in my pocket

Got a job... pretty shitty though, But its just the job before a get a better one

Wish me luck with life, feel like im slipping away....

From Work to Home

Today I was chillin at work with Prenab just waiting to leave, when at 5:30p, (remember I leave at 6 now) a stupid ass truck had to come . And I looked in this truck and I saw 8 skids of boxes

Now I don't know about you.. but I HATE boxes. boxes mean lifting and carrying and weight on my skinny arms and sweat and all that bull shit! I swear to you I don't get paid enough!

Anyways I saw some shots and took them

When I saw this I was like " What the Blood-" but turns out that the Bold has Sepia and Black and White!

lols we were actually unloading one truck right into the other

Turns out that it only took 15 mins to unpack the truck and I got to leave on time
ugh... bus life
(Ooh and if you look closely at these pictures you can see me in the reflection just sitting down.. feel free to click the pic for expansion) Trippy!



the girl in front of my thought I was taking pictures of here so she left... if only she knew she wasn't interesting enough for me to take a picture of her
Before Eglinton and Barbados

after Eglinton and Barbados

McCowan n Eglinton
hmm.. sorry dont know

Go station... look carefully and you will see a girl sitting by herself
I caught her
walking to my house
I took a picture of myself forgetting that it as all zoomed up on my face
This is my house
and then I was chillin in my house, talking to sister and Brenda and I had to go to Snappy's (the convenience store) to buy some ZigZags and I saw this outside... I still don't know who's it is

and right now as I'm writing this im sitting in my backyard on the deck that my dad made and my padre, Brenda n one of their friends is watching TV outside (yeah... we have a TV set up to watch outside, wtf?!) outside of some like mini house thing that my dad also made in the backyard.

Maybe one day I'll bless you guys with a picture

I don't know about you but I think these pictures are really good... and these are coming from a Berry. Imagine if I had an actual camera!

Off My CHEAST!... thats right I spelt Chest wrong!

OK... as I mentioned before My boss just recently started paying me minimum wage, And Ive been working here since middle of May.

Ive just been taking his shit because I needed a job and this was the only one that I somewhat wanted to do. But since 2 weeks ago when I asked for minimum wage hes been a super jerk to me!

For example: He doesn't teach me to do anything. Like literally nothing. I was just hired and told to work and I figured out everything for myself. And he is trying to turn the store to something more retail appealing, so me taking initiative cleaned the store and constantly clean beccause the dumb guy just picks it up and leaves it on whatever the closest surface. Leaving the place a mess. I understand he wants a retail store so I clean it

He tells me basically that I am useless, because I cant sell computers... FIRST OF ALL, you never hired me to sell computers and second how am I supposed to sell ANYTHING when you don't give me any information about anything.

And all the work I do. no recognition at all!!

Yesterday I cleaned the basement of all the boxes, now its clean and you can actually walk past it to go to the washroom. It really was becoming a safety hazard. NOTHING!

Every time we get something into the store. I'm the one that actually takes it out of the box and puts it somewhere where the people can see. NOTHING!

Again yesterday We had a shipment of like 30 laptops, and they were blocking the entrance of the store. So I asked him if he wanted me to move some of them downstairs and get them out of the way, he said no. So I didn't. Later on in the day. most of them were sold and there were 14 boxes left. (1 box for each laptop) So I took them out of the boxes and put them all in 1 box.
Remember there were 14 boxes! 14!
I broke all 14 down and put them in 2 boxes.
ooh and I'm doing all this right in front of his desk, there is no way he could not see me doing this
when I got to my LAST box, he tells me to stop. and then to pack them all back like they were and bring them downstairs

PACK THEM UP! BRING THEM DOWNSTAIRS! WTF!
no, he had those options, he knew exactly what I was doing, I asked if he wanted them downstairs
FUCK THAT!
(and I know the only reason he did that was for me to have more work. Because we never keep laptops downstairs. EVER! he did that so I would be the one who would have to go down and get them. Ass.)

BUT I did bring one of the 2 boxes downstairs to make us both happy.

Now today we had a customer who had to buy those laptops and who was the one to get it.
and I had to get a box and pack it.
WE NEVER PACK INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS!
that's why I took them out of their individual boxes. and even big shipments we put like 5 in 1 box. Ass.

Embarrassing me in front of customers.
Plus the shit I had to deal with when I first started... telling me he wanted me and all this bull shit. I wish I was lying. Trying to hug me up n shit.

That is why when people ask how was work I respond with... Its slowly sucking the life out of me


I just needed to get that off my chest.

Life updates

So recently Ive been working at some computer shop, for around the last month n a half

I merchandise, I clean, I put ads online, I create broadcasts and send out emails, I pack machines that need to be sent... I feel like I do alot of work, expecially cuz he wants to turn the store into a retail store n not so much wholesale, Thats where I come in.

BUT for appox. 93 hours of work he pays me 6 bills. Thats not even minimum wage. And Ive brought it up to him before but still nothing.

So this friday past brought it up again. Said I cant pay for shit with this, its a waste of time being here if this is what ur gonna pay me. [Cue waterworks] Said Im the only one paying for my school and this aint shit and blah blah blah... I got my way.

So now im working monday-friaday (instead of monday-saturday) 13:30-6 (instead of 10:30 - 7) and getting min wage.

So my point is that if ANYONE knows of an evening or weekend job opening, let me know.

Makin Money this Summer is My Goal!

Put On BLAST

Im about to put someone on BLAST! If every you find you find yourself in the GTA and looking for a nice paying job where you could choose your own shifts and stumble upon a job called Blackwell Duct Cleaning. DONT DO IT! Now I worked for them for a few weeks and I swear once it was time for me to get payed they got up and left. I went by the place everyday and no one. I called and no answer. Two weeks later still nothing.... FINALLY yesterday I send him a text he says pick it up at the most random location I go and theres my money.

I dont have to mention that he calls people from the yellow pages, people that are on the "DO NOT CALL" list are hung up on and their basically not legit. Right now their located at Brimley and Ellesmere Suite 210... if somehow you find yourself there, WALK AWAY, its nothing but trouble!

My New Job

Its funny how life works sometimes. Don't you think? I made this blog so that all the weird thoughts that I have about the world and people around me I could express. to me its not a blog that I want people to come on everyday and read what I have to say, more like my thoughts are here... if you want to read them their available to you, if not dont. It's simple really! But the funny part is that because of this blog I got a writing job at YUSH magazine! YAY! Apparently I have to update the facebook group, lead discussions and update the blog... alot of writing! But im still excited. It just funny 'cuz I never thought anything really would come out of having a blog... guess I was wrong.
