Testing 123, Can Anybody Hear Me?

Wow, its been so long. You know, I log in most days with the intention of writing in this blog, but unfortunately it hasn't happened. So much to tell, so little energy. I guess I'll start with work.
I really love my job. I have loads of fun with the people I work with, and have made lots of new friends that I hang around with. Take for example Brianne, we have become really close in the short time that we have worked together, last Saturday night we went shopping, had dinner and then went and saw a Shrek 2. We try to go out shopping or to a movie every pay day. She's a better friend that most of my current friends. It's going to be a shame to leave her, I really like Brianne, we see eye to eye on a lot of things. I'm going to miss her.
Work has been work. At one point I was working 6 days in a row, all eight hour shifts. Great for the bank, bad for the body. It was a long while. But it was inventory time, and there was lots to be done. I do work quite a bit, and when I get home never quite have the energy to do much. Even now I can feel my eyes starting to droop. Lately I have been getting split days off, which bites. I hate having to split my days off up. You never feel rested, or feel like you've got a lot done.
I had my 90 day evaluation today. Got 3 out of 5, which is good. I'm happy with it. I do my job, but I don't go above and beyond. I am really not that kind of person. Hehe, for example today I freaked on some teenaged kids who were just ringing the paint desk bell for the hell of it. I hate it when people do that, and keep doing it, even though they see me coming. I felt kind of bad after, and most likely got a complaint out of it, but I really don't give a crap. Actually I do, but I'm going to try to not let it bother me. I always do that. Something goes wrong, or I screw something up, and I let it bother me for a long time. Sometimes it gets so bad that I can't sleep. I am just that type of person. I worry about most things, and I can't help it. Although this blog really does help to get it off my chest. Sorry, back to work. I feel bad about getting such a good eval, and having my Manager Rob be so happy with me, and have to quit in a few weeks. Yes, I am leaving for Sweden, more about that in a minute. Rob seemed so happy to have me working for him, and in the back of my mind, my brain was going "ah man..." I am going to try and get rehired when I get back. I really like working there, but I have no plans of making it a career. Unfortunately one of my favorite managers is being moved to the other store. Not many people like him, but I really do. He's always nice, and notices when you do something above and beyond your job. He was the only manager who thanked, and even noticed that I did the whole, really big shelf and riser of spray paint at inventory time. He also thanked me today for helping zone another area last night before I left. Not many other managers would do that. They just figure it's part of your job, they don't see that it's going beyond what you actually have to do. I think I will miss Adrian more then any of the other managers.
On a sad note, my mom's not doing too well, I think she's starting to get to the point where she's giving up. This is hard to write about, but I really need to get it out. Her whole body is starting to shut down, and the cancer has spread. I don't think she'd survive a round of chemo. She's actually making her dying wish, which is going to Disneyland one more time this Christmas. I am going to fly and meet them there. I feel really bad leaving her, when I have no idea how much longer she will live, I just really hope and pray that it's for many more years to come. But my mom wants me to go, which is important. I think she feels bad because when she was in the hospital I sacrificed a lot to look after my brother, my whole family suffered. Cancer is a nasty thing, that I would not wish on my worst enemy,
So yah, guess who's going to Sweden. Me. I'm excited, but also scared. Really scared. I guess that just comes with travel I guess. But it will be loads of fun, and a great experience. I leave on August 1st and get in to Sweden on the 2nd. I then have to make my way to my housing, which I have no idea how I am going to do. But I may figure that out when the time comes. I am still waiting for housing info anyway. I am also waiting on a Visa, so I am really praying that it goes through, and I am also on a limited time span, which sucks even more. I also have so much to do, that I don't even know where to start. Gah, my nails are a mess from all the biting. So it really is just a waiting game, and unfortunately I am a really impatient person.
I am also excited , because I get to vote next Monday. I actually get to have a say in how my Country is run, and that will feel nice. I think I may vote NDP, but I do need to research it a little more before I hit the poles next week.
Well I think that's it for now. I will write more often. I think I forgot what a good release writing in this blog was.
