Random Update #10

Hmm i know I dont blog very often but I attribute it to laziness when there is actually something to blog about; and a generally boring life lately with nothing else worth talking about

Anyways, looking back on december... I cant believe I made it through it, the days were intensely long cause I was pretty much working 6 days a week for the whole month and on those days-off, they never actually felt like time off cause there ws always that expectation of having to go back to work the next day for 6 days at a stretch. I shouldn't really complain given that my sporean counterparts prolly do much more for significantly less but STILL... I consider myself quite Aussified already and that includes worker's rights and benefits. Coming down to the last week of december, there was a perpetual frown on my face and I think I was completely over it. There wasn't anything interesting to sell, customers were rude and I didn't have the patience to deal with it. BUT now my shifts are shorter and I feel considerably rested, and I'm beginning to be back to my cheery and enthusiastic self again. Gonna enjoy my last month at GP Chaddy before I leave. I've decided that Australia Day will be my last shift here in Melb, hopeful Jo'll give me the 10-6 shift... could use all that extra public holiday $$$ to pay for my comics back in spore when I pick them up

Had a print out and it showed that in this year that I've worked for GP i have made $220,000 which is a considerable amount of cash... personally I think the figure is closer to a 1/4 of a million given that a lot of my sales in december was placed on other people due to the fact that I was rarely at the counter. I wonder how much I made per hour for the company; hopefully its enough to guarantee me getting a spot with another a store in Sydney. SO that I guess is my most major accomplishment of 2006, making that amount of cash in abt 8mths of working. If only I got commission... I only got paid a mere fraction of that amount of cash, DAMN

Also a funny thing happened at work, a customer told me to get lost when i tried to serve him and his gf cause he said that the last time I served him, he ended up blowing $320 on a pair of jeans. BUT he liked those jeans and he wears them all the time or so his gf says... he rather not be served by me because he didnt want to end up spending unneccessary amounts of money. Am i actually that persuasive???

2007 A Brand New Year

Am pretty glad 2006 is over actually... 2006 gave me some pretty damn good memories and it was also the year where i hit the lowest emotional point in my life, but with all dark periods, you make resolutions and come to conclusion about the direction that your life will have to eventually take. As 2006 was one of reflection, 2007 for me will be one of discovery.... Never in my life have I ever had time to myself before, it was always school, army, university and life responsibilities in general. 2007 will be the year I say screw it all and just kick it and relax. I've got a pretty good job at the moment, although one that doesnt have any future career growth but albit still pretty kick-ass, with enough money coming in to help me live slightly more comfortably than a fresh graduate back home in spore; with eye-candy all around me; also a little bit of a nest-egg saved up in case the urge to travel hits me which I do actually foresee it happening sometime this year.

Not really big on the whole new year's resolution kinda thing cause I never end up keeping them or actually remembering them by the time the second week of janurary comes around. So pretty much I'm gonna make superficial resolutions but still meaningful to my life, such that i can look back and said... I did that in '07

Like my friend calls 2006, 2000 and sucks.... i do honestly hope that i'll have a AWESOME 2007 and to everyone else out there... i wish you all the SAME
