i will survive, hey hey.

To quote the great Gloria Gaynor: I, I will survive!

This week has been hellacious, to say the very least. It's been nothing but stress, anxiety and just everything. I honestly don't think that I've ever wanted to just freak out more than I have this week alone. The transition at work is complete (well, still ongoing but mostly complete) and as of yesterday, I was fired and as of today I'm hired. I've been stressing about it all week - whether or not I'd have a job or not. Not going to lie, I was feeling pretty "glass-half-empty" about it so this development was pretty welcome. It sure takes a whole weight off my shoulders - and the fact that I'll still be able to pay rent and cover my bills isn't too shabby either.

It makes me feel a little worse about taking off (ie: calling in sick) tomorrow though. But I mean, if all this had went down last week like it was supposed to, I wouldn't feel so bad. But of course (and I should have known) that stuff like this NEVER goes according to plan. Ever. I can't complain though, it just sucks having a conscious sometimes. Oh well, I earned this weekend. I really did.

At this time tomorrow, I'll be with J in Phoenix hanging out for the first time since Vegas. 5 months! That's such a long time to go without seeing my best friend. I can't wait to hang out with her, even if it is just for a few days. Plus, BRITNEY tomorrow night and lotsss of booze. That kind of helps take my mind off of work. I just want to relax. But that's easier said then done with me lately.

So much to do tonight! Who would have thought getting stuff together for a weekend would be so hard?

this is gonna sound kinda silly.

Easter came and went, much like any other holiday that I've experienced within the last 9 months. Family, epic amounts of food and consumption of alcohol, a late night game of basketball (that included flashes of hockey, soccer and football if you can imagine. Generally, it was just a really fun time. I ate too much, drank more then I should have and was on a complete sugar high most of the day mostly due to the fact that H & I baked and decorated some 3 dozen-odd cupcakes the night previous. They turned out delicious though!

I was reminded (yet, again) how different holiday's are to me now. Surprise being that I actually LIKE them, and look forward to them. Before, it was all stress and commuting between a bunch of different places and not wanting to hurt feelings and..everything. It's not like that anymore, it's fun. I have a good time and just relax while enjoying everyones' company. Shouldn't it always be that way? Well, now it is. Score for me.

No new news on the job front - which is frightening. Well, to an extent. I was interviewed (twice!) and peed in a cup for them (drug testing - not because I wanted to - and yes, passed.) But, I don't know what they're doing with everything yet. I remember how chaotic it was when the Chrysler store was sold (back in my former life) and it took awhile for everything to work out. I'm sure this will go something more along the lines like that and hopefully, I'll stick it out and still be around to see the finish. I've got a decent feeling about it, but like I said, we just really don't know. But it was decided between K & I that if we lose our jobs, then we're going to Vegas. I hope it doesn't come to that (even though I'm itching to play some blackjack), but I'm just sayin'.

In a weeks time, I will be in Phoenix (Tempe, whatever) with Jacqueline, seeing Ms. Britney Jean Spears live when her Circus tour rolls into town. I'm so excited, even if I'll be there for what seems like a blink of an eye and that J has to work while I'm there. We'll spend some quality drunk bff time together Saturday night at least, and while it's not ideal - I guess I can deal with it.
