Last week was indeed eventful. I had my first day of work/training last Monday... the day after I had orientation. I had training again on Wednesday. Well, it was more like... the girl training me let me do everything and she would just help me out when I n00bed out. Oh well, I got to go home 1.5 hours early that day...
On Friday, I got to hang out with my best friend and one of our university friends. We first went to a Thai restaurant and had chicken curry. It was pretty good. ;D After that, we got to go to our friend's house and literally watched like... 2-3 ARASHI concerts and 2 NEWS concerts. It was awesome. I think I honestly tired myself out from spazzing over Shigeaki Kato who, might I add, was shirtless on MANY occasions. *faints*
Saturday, I got a chance to go to Pacific mall with one of my close friends. I was really glad I got to spend time with her because, along with going to different schools (well, in this case... she goes to school when I sit on my butt at home. haha), we just didn't get to hang out in a while. I got myself a hat which, a lot of people may argue, might be a little expensive for that calibre of hats... but trust me, by the time we were going home, I was so grateful for spending those $28. Basically, it was windy and snowy all over the place. If I didn't have that hat, my ears would've probably fallen off.
I tried actually doing homework on Sunday... the result? Me downloading movies and concert videos via bitorrent and mindless internet surfing.
So I had a 6.5 hour shift at work today. I was told on Wednesday that I was going to train with one of my co-workers that is actually pretty good-looking, but a little intimidating. Well, instead, I ended up training with a girl who was really, really nice. Well, after about a half hour, my boss calls me over to start cashing people out by myself. I honestly think God was testing me. Seriously. The first register I used, the conveyor belt would not stop moving. The second register, the conveyor belt wouldn't work/move. And the third register I used, the light didn't work. So customers didn't know if my lane was open or not. THEN at one of the busiest times, the register froze and it took forever to get it to work again. It's weird, because in the 2 times I was training, there were very little complications. Right when I get to use the cash register by myself, all of these weird things happen. So yeah, apparently, my training is over. I better read up on my handbook. *sigh*
Oh so, I really do think that working at Ikea will make me lose weight. Why you ask? Well, I'm basically moving around constantly scanning and calculating items. Then, when it's not busy, I walk around the store to put things back in it's place or in the stock area. Then on my way home, it's a 10 minute walk to the bus stop and another 20 minute walk from the bus stop to my house. Well, today... it was more like 30-ish minutes because the sidewalks weren't plowed/shovelled. Holy geez.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I got sick on Wednesday. I woke up with a sore throat and I was feeling lousy the whole time I was at work. It was really cold that day and I had to walk to the bus stop and take the bus up to the mall for my dad to pick me up. As I sat on the bus, I felt sicker and sicker. I thought I had the flu. Once I got home, I had some soup, tea and sleep. After 2 hours, I was still sick... but not as sick. It died down to... a cold. So I took care of myself all of Thursday, meaning eating nothing but hot soup and drinking nothing but hot lemon tea. Guess what? I lost 4 pounds in 3 days from being sick. Scary. Well, I'm back to my old weight BEFORE the holiday weight gain. Need to lose quite a bit for May.
And yeah... I'm gonna go watch one of the movies I torrented.
The End
