Not a happy Friday

The Friday Five ~
1. What was the best gift you received?
My promise ring from Joshua, hands down. One of these days I’ll get a good picture taken of it. My cameras suck.

2. What was the worst gift you received?
I’ll never forget this really UGLY jumper my grandma gave me for Christmas when I was like 6 or 7. It was horrible. I couldn’t even imagine what she was thinking when she bought it. Gave me a whole new level of sympathy for my mom as a kid.

3. What gift did you wish for, but never got?
I wished for a lot of things as a kid but never got them. I suppose that’s every kid’s story though.

4. What was the best present you gave?
I’m always proud of the presents I give. I think the best present I ever gave was the coupon book for my mom for Mother’s Day. She still needs to use her coupons.

5. What was the worst present you gave?
Is it conceited to say I don’t think I’ve ever given a bad present? If I did, I am so sorry!

Yesterday turned out to be not a good day for me and the bad mood is continuing over into today. A combination of things at work and with Joshua have turned me into Crabby Cena, something I really hate.

I’ve been getting this vibe from work lately like no one really likes me and that all I am good for is my customer service and ONC skills. I feel like an outcast there. Sure, everyone is nice to me but it’s not like how it used to be at my old store. I felt like I had a family whereas here I don’t. I miss that. I’m also really lonely and pretty much have no friends down here, which sometimes makes me regret moving, but then again there were very few people that cared about me in P’ville. Everyone at my store seems to be so close with each other, and I feel like I don’t fit it. Sure, I know it’s work and I shouldn’t come there expecting more than a professional environment, it’s just it would be nice to know that I am actually liked for more than my work skills.

Since I’ve been sleeping in the same bed as Joshua, I’ve encountered a problem that at first wasn’t really serious but after 4 months it’s getting on my nerves. I am a very sensitive and light sleeper whereas Joshua is such a heavy sleeper that he moves around all over the place not realizing what he’s doing. He tends to move around so much that he’s kicked me on various occasions and in last night’s case, knocked me in the face. I had JUST fallen asleep (got home from work around 10:30pm, into bed at 11pm and didn’t fall asleep till after midnight) so to be woken around 2am to getting knocked in the face did not make me happy. Being the revengeful person I am, I smacked him right back waking him up and we ended up yelling at each before going back to sleep. Course he went back to sleep just fine. Me? I spent the next four hours trying to get back to sleep before finally saying screw it.

So unless someone can cover part of my shift tomorrow, I have a feeling this is going to be a shittay Friday for me.

[EDIT] Put up my new layout. Very proud of it.

Funky layout! You should be very proud of it, it’s very cool!
Oh dear about being woken up by Joshua when you’d just fallen asleep! That would have annoyed me too, or scared the crap out of me!
I hope this Friday wasn’t too crappy!

LOL, the jumper sounds hideous! It must have been pretty bad for you to remember it after all these years. hehe.

It’s a shame that your new work environment does feel as friendly as the one you came from. We’re like one big happy family where I work, so I kinda dread the day when I have to move on. =/ Maybe things will get better there for you with time.

Cool looking new layout btw! =)
