New Years Resolutions!

I have never actually made any of these...so here is my first ever list of resolutions for the new year:

--For every class I skip, I have to go to the gym and extra time for as long as the class was.
--I will get my N......eventually.
--Finish something I started writing for fun..but left to rot in a file in my documents.
--Do something exciting on New Year's Eve!
--Watch more comedy.

Well thats kind of a lame list, I am disappointed.

Love always,

Janelle

So far..

..so good:

--coming home!
--Internet that DOESN'T flicker
--fooooood!
--Getting eyebrows tamed, and ridding my hair of the blonde thatonce plagued it. Not that I have anything against blondes! It's a very nice color for hair, but I was sick of it being in my hair.
--sushi!!!!!
--Seeing Sweeney Todd
--Old Spaghetti Factory AND Girl's Night tonight!!!
--Christmas is only 2 days =)
--Getting one percent higher than I needed in AFM =)

...so bad:

--My bed and pillow are not as comfy as I remember....
--soooo tired


Love always (and Happy Holidays),

Janelle

Janelle only has 49 hours and 17 minutes until her flight leaves....

I have truly, been going insane.

I have one exam in about 2 and a half hours and it's not one I'm able to really study for.

I am done everything, even work.

This might sound very fortunate. But really, it is horribly unfortunate.

Why? Because it means I've been sitting on my ass waiting to leave. What makes it worse is the fact that my Internet connection has been down. The problem (says my computer) is in the router; apparently it needs to be reset. This isn't such a big deal other than the fact that the router is in my housemate's room. My housemate left for home a few days earlier. Uuhhhg. I just want to go hoooome =( This time tomorrow, I'll be waiting in the Kitchener airport.. I am wondering how patheticly similar it is to Abbotsford's airport.. it must be similar..both towns are equally small..


Anyways,

Love always,

Janelle

Only

Only 2 more exams left.

Only 5 more days until I'm going home.

Only 8 days until Christmas.

Only a couple more centimeters of snow please.

Only 2 and a half weeks until I can change my piercing.

Only 8 more months until this house becomes a party house.

Only 6 months and 4 days until I'm 19...finally.

Only need 65% in AFM to keep arts and bus.

Only 24 hours left until French exam!

That is my cue to go and study...

Love always,

Janelle

For the record

These are signs that Janelle is getting drunk:

--Janelle says "You guys I don't feel drunk at all"
--Janelle says "I'm fullin' it"
--Janelle takes 3 or more shots in a row

These are signs Janelle is drunk:

--Janelle smiles somewhat goofily after saying "I'm fullin' it"
--Janelle is laughing a lot
--Janelle does not feel the need to chase after the 3 or more shots in a row, but does on principle

These are signs Janelle is too drunk:

--3/4 of her bottle is empty
--She is positioned horizontally somewhere
--She wants everyone to know....who she wants...


Love always,

Janelle

I want these

and these

and these

"What should I do next time?"

Getting called in to work an extra 4 hours was worth it for this customer. He came up and placed his order in that kind of snobby and bored way. He said everything really sluggishly and without any emphasis on any syllable or any word. After he pays he asks:

"Yesterday I came in and ordered a sandwich combo, but I never got my donut. Can you give me the donut now?"

I explained to him that due to the circumstances (that it happened yesterday, and I have no idea who the fuck he is or if he is telling the truth--I put it much more politely), I couldn't do anything to help him. He replies:

"Well I really wanted to get a donut".

Again, I apologize and tell him there is nothing I can do, if he wanted a fucking donut he should order a fucking donut because I am not going to give them away. (Again, I put it much more politely). Then he asks:

"Well what should I do about it next time?"

I don't know why this seemed ridiculous to me, but this guy was driving me nuts and I wanted to laugh quite badly. "What should I do next time I realize no one gave me my donut??!?!??Maybe I should realize before 24 hours has passed, or hell, before I'm done my meal, that I didn't get my fucking 90 cents worth of pastry!"

I told him that we always grab pastries/cookies/etc. before the customer has paid and put it on the counter in front of them. (This is to prevent from forgetting things......) If he didn't grab it from the counter someone else may have. (Basically, pay attention). Also, I told him that if he's missing something from his order he should ask one of us to get it for him right away, versus a day later. Then...

"OK, well the other thing is that I think whoever makes the sandwiches needs to learn the difference between turkey and ham. They are different and yesterday I got ham on my turkey sandwich, which I wasn't too happy about. So, I dunno, maybe you guys need to have a lesson or something."

Yep, he told us we needed a lesson. This concern is understandable, but way too late. Had he have come back when he noticed, we would have made him a new sandwich. We might have even given him two donuts for fucking up so much. (Assuming we did forget the donut and screw up the meats). I was biting my tongue when he was leaving and trying to hard not to be rude and laugh.

I dunno, it made my day.

That and Nadine's Dane Cook impression..."Welcome to the jungle".

And now, back to studying my ass off for Econ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love always,

Janelle

(at the end!)

Giddy Up

This post was modified by Janelle as some 13 year old girl seems to have hacked her account. (Mainly, Janelle on diet coke with a crush --what else is new?)

On another note: bad-ass=hot

On yet another note: desperate=ugly. Like demented, bog-dwelling, monster type ugly. Desperate=other people : "STAY THE FUCK AWAY" (screams).

Just don't do it. Less ugly scary, more sexy scary, please.

Love always,

Janelle

Con Fused

I've been thinking (and we know that gets me into trouble), but
Does negative mean bad? Does it not just mean at the opposite end of the spectrum to positive. Can something bad not bring something good, or something good bring something bad? Then how am I supposed to know the difference?

I should really sleep more than 4 hours in a night.


Love always,

Janelle

A Timmy Hoe's List of Woes.

Customer service jobs provide services to people. I work one of those jobs, and it's not a bad job. What's bad is how rude and dumb people can be.

--You wonder why your coffee is cold. When I say I'll remake it for you and ask what you had in it, you reply "5 milks and 3 sugars". 5 milks takes up over half the cup, of course it's cold.

--The correct reply to "Do you want your sandwich on white or whole wheat?" is actually not "yes".

--Telling me you want a bagel with cream cheese doesn't really help me help you. We have 7 or 8 kinds of bagels and 5 kinds of cream cheese. Would you like me to pick for you?

--Ordering a 40 pack of timbits and telling me you want "10 chocolate, 5 honey dipped, 3 honey crullers, 8 snowballs, 4 old fashioned glazed and the rest sour cream glazed" surprisingly, is difficult to remember and I'm not really sorry when I have to ask you again what you wanted.

--When you ask "What kind of soups do you have today?" and I say " Cream of broccoli and vegetable", that really means I don't have chicken noodle.

--No, we don't take Visa.

--No, we don't take debit.

--We never close.

--No, we aren't still selling the breakfast sandwiches, it's 2pm we've been out for a couple of hours.

--You wonder why your combo costs more than the advertised price. Well first of all, there are taxes, second you ordered a danish instead of a donut and an XL french vanilla instead of a medium coffee, oh and you added bacon to your sandwich.

--Just because I am close to the counter when I'm making an iced cap, doesn't mean I can get you an extra cup, I'm in the middle of something. And also, I have no idea how much longer your sandwich will take, I'm not in charge of it.

--I know what regular/single-single, double-double and triple-triple mean. You can even throw me a "quad-quad" and I'll figure it out, but I have no idea what a single-double is. Single what, double what?

--I am sorry that your baked, but we haven't baked any of that donut you really wanted in a while, so choose something else.

--No, we can't toast croissants. Why? They light on fire.

--If you ask for your bagel triple toasted, it will probably be pretty crispy.

--When you say "I want a toasted chicken club on whole wheat" and I ask "Is that everything?" I assume that you didn't want the combo.

Just so you know =)

Love always,

Janelle
