since my last entry i've been moved from the one branch (arbutus) i started at with the bank to the new branch (waverly woods) that just opened. now this is only my second week there, and only the second week the bank has been opened. however, this is only the first week its been advertised as being open. it's already been busier this week than it was last week, but still pretty damn slow. i'm not the type of person that likes not having anything to do at work. i feel as if i'm not doing something than i'm wasting my time being there. granted with a job working with customers you may not always have one, but for an entire day! i just cant stand it. from the start i wasnt happy about moving to this new branch. its further away, so i'm wasting more gas and time getting there and back each day, and i no longer get to work with or even see brett and sank all day. it's stressing me out and bothering me so much that i'm not just unhappy at my job, but i feel less happy in general. which of course is starting to affect all other areas of my life. i've been much much more touchy and sensitive lately. little things that would barely bother me at all just crush me now. all of this makes it unfair for the people that have to deal with me everyday. i feel bad that they have to be around a worse version of myself than normal. extra personal attention has been the only thing helping me feel better lately, but given my schedule is hard to arrange. thankfully there is a small ray of hope. IF my manager can hire enough people for the new branch, and i can talk her into letting me return to arbutus i MIGHT be able to talk the open teller spot that'll be opening there. so far i havent had a good chance to ask her about it though. she's so stressed that she cant find anyone to hire and the customers either arent coming or cant find the place that telling her i want to leave might be too much. oooooh boy, this better work itself out soon. i'm gonna have a hard time surviving it all otherwise.

....can still kick our ass anytime. today at work the power went out. no, it wasnt storming, no lightning, nothing of that sort. JUST WIND! at first it wasnt too bad, actually it wasnt too bad at all. of course the bank had to close since we couldnt do anything. that part definitely rocked. however, instead of just going home early we had to spend the next several hours trying to prove without the computers. thats right......everything had to be balanced by hand! suuuuuure that doesnt sound so bad, but ironically most of the people that work at the bank cant freakin count or add! eventually everything got worked out (for me, sank and brett atleast. some of the others were still all messed up when we left). now for future reference, if this ever happens again we'll all know not to let anyone else "help" us, cuz they'll more than likely just screw us up instead. all in all though it made for an interesting day at work, and for the most part enjoyable too.

figured it was about time i wrote another one of these. anyways, easter this year was actually pretty nice. i cant remember what i did last year, which means i prolly did nothing. this year though i went to sank's and spent some time with his family. went down to the park to take a shot at tennis.......NOT my sport. it was still fun though. my family doesnt really just go to a park together anymore and do stuff together, so it was really nice to have that kinda thing again. it felt nice. afterwards we hid/searched for some eggs. then i went home to eat dinner with my family. wasnt too shabby, kinda dined and dashed though so i could head back over to sank's. the rest of the night me and him watched some tv and just hung out together. it was really nice and made me feels alot better and more relaxed.
been kinda stressed lately. this whole new job thing is taking alot more getting use to than i thought. its so hard adjusting to it, especially since i left a job i liked and loved my coworkers. as weird as it may sound i reeeeeally miss my manual labor. this sitting around all day makes me feel lazy and sluggish. once the weather gets better i'll be able to start running though to help cure that. as for missing my coworkers, i dont know how to help that. right now at the bank i get to work with brett and sank (which is awesome!) but that wont last for long. so unless in this next week something magical happens to make me love the bank job things are just going to go from bad to worse.
here's hoping something gets better. if it werent for sank and my friends i dont think i would be able to handle even a little bit of this. they really are the only things keeping me sane right now.

so i finally quit ups. thursday was my last night that. sad thing though, as angry as that place could make me sometimes, i'm still gonna miss it. i'll especially miss all the cool people i got to work with and the very non-professional aspects to the job.
i'm really kinda nervous about my new job though. i just hope i dont suck at it and pick everything up fairly quick. the feeling of being the new kid again is going to suck no matter how well i do though. not that i ever used being one of the veterans at ups to work in my favor really, it was just nice knowing no one questioned if you knew what you were doing or not. oh well, here's hoping everything goes well tomorrow.
