How depressing, only 20 and I'm a "reduntee" =( Another victim of the recession

*Sigh* Well, I've had a good cry today to say the least, now I'm dealing with it.

When I got into work today they had a meeting and announced that they're going to close our Call Centre. "Supposedly" our customers are now shopping online and don't need to call us as much, explain why we never have a break off the phones then please!!

So, I've got 90 days to look for a new job, and time to transfer all my direct debits into my mums name if I cant get one, nice isnt it after nearly 2 years of service.. I'm probably not even going to get redundancy pay. Obviously I'll be trying my hardest to get a new job, but 1000 people have just been layed off in Crosby, so everyone is going to be applying for the same job as me.

LUCKILY, I had a change of heart 3 days ago, I decided I am going to go to Uni. Obviously everyone was given the day off work today, so my mum picked me up and I went down to the Unis to get a Prospectus. God knows what I'm going to do, I'll have a good look through tomorrow when I'm sitting in work refusing to take any calls!!

I suppose from a company perspective I can see why they closed Crosby out of all the Call Centres, but they didn't even give us an inkling we were under threat, just one day KABLAMO.

There goes my holiday which I was going on for my 21st too *Sigh*

What a shit day this has been, I didn't even win the lottery again. Haha funny isnt it, I suppose that was my stupid way of trying to give this situation a silver lining. S'not gonna happen, I feel so insignificant. I knew I was anyway in a Call Centre with 1000 staff, but this just reinforces it.

I'm just so lucky I don't have loads of bills to pay, the only bill I have unpaid is my Littlewoods Staff Account... haha.

Oh well, suppose I'll have to go to sleep now, I'm in work 1.30 till 11pm tomorrow, happy days.

EDIT 01/02/09: I suppose I best add this in, we found out we're being closed down because of the online success (They don't need us now on the phones). So... In a way I've brought this upon myself, damn my eternal online shopping habits! I bought so many things on the website recently I've kicked myself out of my own job, its just gets better doesnt it lol

Fable II + Slipknot gig

New found love.. Fable II Its cool, just got it delivered yesterday!

Oh and the Slipknot gig was awesome! Wooo. I wish I'd brought a camera but I think my one has broken

Ahh well all around goodness. And I know from now on that if ya wanna get noticed at a gig, dress up as Santa lol

Children of Bodom were great, pretty good set And Alexi used his pink guitar which was shweeet! Disappointed that they were only on for 30mins tho

Machine Head were amazing too! Defo had the crowds going wild as always lol Dean was in the pit but then got elbowed in the throat & cut open his larynx He had to go to the medics so missed 1 song by MH which is gay.

And Slipknot, well they kicked ass! Loved the setup too all fire n stuff, burned me up though! lol Shame Joey didnt have a massive drum solo like usual, but he did go up in the air for a bit so it was cool lol

Ahh roll on Metallica in feb!

Slipknot tomorrow w00pw00p

Yaaay seeing Slipknot, Bodom + MH tomorrow! Cant wait ^_^ I've got my hair done proper red for it ish cool.

Ohh and put deccies up yesterday, that always cheers me up too. Now i just need to get everyones presents sorted lol

Eugh. Horrible news :(

Howdy,

Been a really horrible day today If you read my last blog you'll know I aint been too happy lately anyway, well this morning just added to the trauma!

My first day off in ages, I planned on sorting my room out and just chilaxin about all day. Well I got up and went downstairs to get some breakfast, and noticed that ALL my fish were floating on top of the tank dead

I shouted my mum to come in and then we noticed that Wayne, the biggest fish was actually still alive but he was floating on the top basically half dead

In a shocked mad rage we threw him in the washing up bowl in fresh water. He had a big blood patch on his nose and all his fins had bloody vains, he was internally bleeding I looked on the net and it turns out he has septicemia. In the tub he was still floating on his side gasping for air so my mum held him upright with his head out of the water to see if he could breath properly and it seemed like it woke him up out of a coma or something.

We went to the Aquatics shop and bought a new tank so he has loads of free room to swim and got him some anti bacterial medicine stuff to see if we could save him.

Now hes in the tank and luckily he seems to be ok. He is very sluggish but he is swimming again now. I have a video of him in his new tank here. Hopefully he will be ok.

I tell ya what though, Pippin was so cute. Wayne is like his little friend, and he always used to put his paw on the tank to try and touch him. When Wayne was in the bowl Pippin was sitting at the side watching him the whole time, and when I took him out of the kitchen and closed the door he was really eager to get back in trying to open the door and he would run back to the bowl to see if he was ok. It was if he was genuinely worried and upset cause he knew he wasnt well

Oh yeh and bleh, also work sucks. We may have to work on Boxing Day, gonna find out tomorrow.

So yep, been a crappy day indeed

...Poop

Howdy,

Just blogging cause I'm lying in bed, bored outta my skull.

Been quite down lately, everything just seems to be shite. I'm on my final warning in work, if I get sick again then I'll get the sack =/ I need a new job. I have no social life anymore, I feel like I don't 'live' I just... live. Suppose thats the best way to explain it. My self esteem is a zero and I have no motivation to do anything about it. I'm totally skint and Christmas is coming soon. I wanna go on holiday cause I need a break, but I can't book anything cause Dean has no money. I can't go anywhere anytime soon anyway though, I have no holiday hours left until May. How shite.

On the other hand, I went to see the Mono LPs yesterday, they were excellente. Rhys looked like he really enjoyed playing with them which is good, he really suits that style of music. I got to see Jennie too which was great, haven't saw her for ages. I miss being around everyone, since I've started work I don't see anyone anymore really. Whats worse about it all is everyone is going to Disneyland soon. I would have loved to go but I couldn't cause Dean can't afford it, and I can't go without him, It'd feel wrong and I know he wouldn't go without me sooo =/ Ahh well.. I'll go one day

I totally regret not going out on Halloween.. everyones pictures look so cool. I haven't got dressed in fancy dress in aaaages lol. Had an ok Bomby Night though, we had loads of packs of Fireworks which we bought so we set them all off in the back garden. Most of them were pooy cheap ones but we had a few goodens.

Right.. I'm gonna go watch some tv now I suppose.
Toodles x

Bomchikawaawaaaaa

Wow I ain't blogged in ages!! I don't know whats got in to me

Well.. just a few updates..

I now have this colour hair (its reddy/burgundyish). T'was meant to be bright red but the bleach didn't work on my black very well lol

I've got a new phone, and a new number.. so ask if you want it.

I have a Nintendo Wii! w00p w00p. Another console to add to my neverending list lol It will never beat my Xbox though

I've decorated my room, its red & black with a starry border which looks very cool

I'm still with Dean, and its been basically 4 and a half years now yahhhikes!

Still working in Littlewoods *sigh* Been in a bit of trouble lately, and today I got a final warning for being off sick >.< src="http://x.myspace.com/images/blog/smileys/kiss.gif"> its very comfy.

Can't really think of much else.. my lifes pretty poo at the moment. I'm a fat cow and need to lose weight but its just not coming off me

Oh well, I must go. Gotta be in work at 8.30am tomorrow.
Byeeeeeee xxxxxxx

Batman & Meet Dave =D

Well hello there,

I've just got back from the Cinema, and woooow it was good!

We went the see The Dark Knight, which was just amazing. I love Christian Bale (i cant wait for him in the new TERMINATOR films!!) and Heath Ledger was just awesome too. His death is such a loss I don't think anyone can top his performance for the Joker. He kinda reminds me of Dean too which is sad.

And then after seeing Batman we saw Meet Dave, which was also great. Ya just gotta love Eddie Murphy, hes so funny

What an awful awful day =’(

Oh my god, this has just been the worst day in ages

First of all, this morning i was getting a taxi to work, and when i went to pay the driver with a £10 note, he was REALLY snotty and went ’got no change’ and i was like, ’no change of a tenner?... i dont think ive got change either’ And he was jst like ’no’.
I wouldnt mind but it only cost 4.40 all he had to do was give me £5 in change, what type of taxi driver doesnt have £5 change?!
So i had to run into work and ask everyone if they had change of £10, and then this lovely receptionist lent me a £5 note to pay him, so i ran back out and he gave me 20P CHANGE!!! He was only waiting less than a minute and he charged me 40p for waiting when it wasnt my fault!!

And then i had to sit on the phones all day taking complaints after complaints when all of their moaning isn’t my fault, putting up with their stupidness, trying to explain to stupid people what ’You dont need to pay for this yet’ means!,
And then to top it off, i had this poor old woman on the phone, born in 1932 so very old, and she was crying to me
She had a call from Debt Collections saying she was going to court for not paying, bt she had made the payment in November but it hadnt gone through. And she was upset because everyone was horrible to her saying its tough they cant help her, so when i advised her what to do after 30mins, she said i’m the nicest person shes spoke to about it and she was like ’oh thank you’ and i felt really sad after that

And then when i come home, im just browing the internet and i go on ebay to find that i’d bidded on an item last month and forgot about it n won, and it’d been so long since i went on ebay that ive got a Unpaid item stike, lost all my feedback priveliges and this man has gave me super bad feedback saying AVOID n stuff. I sent him a message saying im sorry and i completely forgot but now i dont know what to do
And to top it off, i realised i got bad feedback off some guy i bought my mums mothers day present off because i said i didnt think it was real. So now hes said distrusting customer n stuff *sigh*

And i’ve got work 2moro and i dont wanna go in at all Im really really upset about today. I know the stuff thats happened isnt REALLY bad, but its all added up together and made today just super bad.

I can’t wait to see Dean i’m just gonna cuddle up to him n cry my eyes out!

On a lighter note...

Watching Star Trek Voyager + eating pizza in my pyjamas makes me happy + helps me to forget about work, allowing me to remember good times from this weekend to add to my ultra depressing blog from this morning! lol

Well.. I booked friday off work, which is just a good thing on its own, but i can’t remember what i did though on friday.. i guess thats just typical of me though lol

But on Saturday morning i went to the hairdressers + got red put into my hair They also went over my black aswell to get rid of the roots which is good. I felt incomplete without a bright colour in my hair, so now i’m feeling more like me lol

Then, when i got back i got ready + we all went round to Andys which was very cool. Twas good to see everyone again, i havent saw everyone in ages! Teehee twas good remonising over the Norfolk Hols with Jen Rhys Dean n Sean! We had all seemed to forget how funny that holiday was.

Extreme Buckaroo was the highlight of the night though, haha poor Jay, he had half the room balancing on him!

And then on Sunday... went the pics! We saw Vantage Point which was good, very similar to Momento, nothing on it!!, but still good lol And then Dean went round to Andys for Obliquity time, and i watched Star Trek Voyager + played seXbox! Sall good.

Oh and Obliquity Inc are not dead which is good I knew they wernt dying anyway, but i know there were doubts in everyones minds. Im just happy they’v all got together and sorted it out.

Anyway,
bye

Downer

*sigh* mega down today I need to find a new job, it just depresses me thinking about it. I’ll admit, its good for the money, but its just so bad at the same time. I want a job where i dont have to talk to 100+ people everyday and pretend to be nice, sometimes i just dont wanna talk

Also Im heartbroken about Runescape, i miss it so much. I wish Jagex would change it back

And Download Festival is nearly here and im pset about that too! It is just so poop, i want to go to a festival put it would cost too much to go abroad *sigh*

I am actually considering leaving work and then going back on the dole if worst comes to worst and it takes a while.. its that bad.

Unbelievavle

Its unbelievable, Me and Dean celebrated our FOURTH anniversary on Tuesday! I can’t believe its been so long ^_^
We went to the Punchbowl and it was great! I started getting dizzy off all the wine though haha I think it must have been strong stuff! The only dissapointment was I had my heart set on Spag Bol, and they didnt have it!! But Dean has said he will cook it for me at the weekend so i’m happy lol

Anywho, Its also unbelievable with the amount of Nobheads that you get on the phones in work. Arghhhh, sometimes they just drive you crazy. Seriously, how can they be so stupid, its infront of them yet they complain anyway, fools!

And alsox2, its unbelievable how addicted i have became to Star Trek! I have withdrawal symptoms and I dream about Tom Paris, Data and Species 8472! lol

Oh and last but not least, for those who know me this will come as a shock, its UNBELIEVEABLE but believe it or not.. i haven’t watched Coronation Street for as long as i can remember. The last time i watched it was when Vera died, but that was a one off because it was so special. I hadn’t actually watched it properly since Liam fell off the cliff!

Oh well

Although I dont wanna believe it, I think its too late to make a change now

I guess I give up =/

This year, festivalness ^-^

Joopty! ^-^ Its almost festival season

I can't wait to be turning mouldy in a tent again, living off burgers and whatever scraps i can find lol The feeling is the best =D I'm almost starting to miss that indescribable aroma which comes from the Longdrops on a hot summers day.. heh

Unfortunately, Download Festival is looking like a load of poo this year though *sigh* Not so bothered about Kiss or Offspring, but Lost Bloody Prophets, unbelievable!

So yep, we're looking at European Festivals. Rock AM is looking good, Pinkpop WAS looking good until the 2nd batch of announcements, Graspop looks good and so does Wacken! Choices, choies, choices lol

I also wouldn't mind going to Leeds this year, Leah is also wanting to go so maybe go with her.. but we'll see

Also, Dean and I are thinking of going away at some point this year, I say a Cruise but depends how much we can save! lol

And thats the end of that chapter
