month of march

I can't believe I haven't updated in so long!! How terrible eh?
Let's see February well I worked all of it. Nothing exciting.
March... I started physio, talked to a lawyer about suing the lady from the accident and well moved to Calgary and I'm looking for work.
My shoulder is completely messed up. I go to physio 2 times a week and it's helping but I have alot of pain in my shoulder. I have a separated shoulder and 2ND degree whiplash. My lawyer said for me to wait until I am healed so that I can be fully compensated. I have two years from the accident to sue and Alberta govt will cover it and then garnish her wages or assets for it.
I took time off to try to heal but savings are pretty much gone and now I need a job bad!!
I like my place tho so that's a good thing. I am sure it won't take me too long to find work. I did have a job this week but I quit it. The manager was totally crazy. I only worked two days that was long enough. Apparently they have a really high turn over and I can see why. I don't put up with anyone yelling at me. Especially when it's because I talked to another waitress over where I would find lemons. Yep, that's why I got yelled at. She doesn't want servers talking to other servers. And i read a review on the web that a customer seen her yelling and cursing at a server. That is really uncalled for.
Anyway, I need a job but I don't need a manager who will freak out over nothing!!
Back to the drawing board for me!!

GRR

I hate life right now. The other lady has no insurance. I am missing work. I have to pay to get my car out of impound and get it fixed. My insurance company will not cover the damages, just the physio I have to get. I don't how I can get physio when I work for 22 days straight. I can't afford to miss time. Too much money I will loose. I now need to sue the woman, don't know how I am going to do that from camp. My insurance company is looking into seeing if she has other insurance. I am going to freak out. I have to pay and take a stupid bus to work and it's going to be an 11 hour bus ride. BOO! I hate the bus. I don't know how any of this is going to work out.
FRUSTRATED!!!!
That's my story

Sunday Bloody Sunday!

Ah, woke up today. Had myself a nice cup of tea and a bagel, toasted with cream cheese. It had all intentions of being a great day.
Text Miss Christi and made plans to meet up. I was so excited to see her!!
I'm heading on down to her house, miss my turn so I take 5th ave to get back to where I need to be and then it happened!!
I seen that my light was green so I kept my speed the same and then from the corner of my eye I see this silver car coming through the light. I slam the brakes and hit the car!! I was so shaken. This guy came running up to the car asking if I was ok. I was.. he went to the other car, she was ok too!! I am shaking at this point. He got into my car told me to call 911 to get the police to come. I do. I can't get out of my car the door wouldn't open. I crawl out the passenger side and see the other lady.
I ask if she is ok. She says she is ok. She asks what happened. I said you ran a red light and I hit you. I was shocked she asked this and I'm not going to lie I thought I smelled booze but what do I know I am in shock this is all happening.
The cops arrive get statements and move our wrecked cars out of the intersection. While waiting for the Cops to finish up their reports I let the other lady use my phone to call someone. (I was waiting for Christi to come meet me. God bless her!!)

After the lady uses my phone her friend calls back and asks me what happened cuz she wasn't making sense to him. I tell him. He then informs me that her sister will be calling my phone.
Well, her sister didn't call but her dad did. I give the location of where we are for him to come meet her.
While Christi and I are putting my stuff into her car, we notice this lady is being arrested. I ask one of the officers what happened. Apparently she has a warrant for her arrest (for speeding tickets) and might be intoxicated so they were taking her to the station to check.
I then called her dad to let him know. I wasn't sure if he would want a call like that but he thanked me for calling.
The officer informed me that her insurance was good. Oh and I got a 230 dollar ticket for my registration being up. I didn't know it was expired, I assumed it was like PEI and would expire on my birthday not Dec 31. Oh well. At least the accident wasn't my fault.
Christi and I went to Pizza Delight had a lovely meal and then I came home to relax.
I'm getting a little sore but I guess that is to be expected. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I have to figure out how to get up to work. It's 7 hours away!
What a day today was, but at least I'm alive!!!

It's Been a while!

I can't believe it's been so long since I have update this blog. It's terrible. OK so let's see..
November I was insulating in Caroline with Dan. The job sucked. I hated it there. Just didn't feel right. SO we worked there until we found other work. Then around the 20Th I started working in Foster Creek. I went up there with Dan to insulate but ended up working in the office doing Administrative work. I do payroll and all the stuff that needs to be done. We stayed in camp. Camp life is crazy. Eat in a cafeteria and sleep in a little room. Nothing to do but work and sleep. Only bonus is that you don't pay for food.
Dec- We had from the 20Th until the 6Th of January off. I spent Christmas in Calgary. Its was nice. After being in Camp for so long it was good to be around people again. I had a great time with Christi and got to see Ryan and my sister.
JAN- Oh what a month this has been. Just finished working 22 days straight. I have 6 days off and I got a raise, so that helps money wise. Work is really getting to me tho. The Quality control guy is annoying the hell out of me. He is covering for the boss on the bosses days off and it's totally going to his head. I don't think that I have ever felt so much dislike towards someone like I do this guy. I try to make the best of it. But the last few days I couldn't take his shit. I was rude to him and I really didn't care.
OK here is an example. One of the guys on the crew didn't sign out. The foremen knew he left but this QC guy wanted to show off. Started talking to the foremen of how he was going to go yell at the guy and say he had people in the plant looking for him. A COMPLETE LIE..
So we were walking in camp and he turns to me and says wanna come watch me yell at Nathan. I said " no, I don't think its right to yell at him. I think you should talk and say make sure you sign out tomorrow but no one deserves to be yelled at!"
Anyhow one thing lead to another and he did say stuff to Nathan. It happened in the Cafeteria when I was getting supper and I was so embarrassed to be there. Nathan ended up losing his job all because this guy is a liar and wants to throw his power around. It was the first day the boss took off too!!
I honestly was thinking of not going back to work the next day. Then over the next two days two people quit, one for sure because of this guy and 12 more are not coming back after shift change for the same reason.
There is so many other things he did too. He causes a lot drama and I don't know how he got the job he has. I bust my ass at work to get everything done and I watch him day after day talk on his phone to friends and whenever someone comes in he rushes to make it look like he is doing work but he doesn't do anything.
Last vent on this: his favorite thing to say lately is I don't need a reason to punt a guy. Grr. I can't believe I have to work with him for another 22 days.

On a better note:
Right now I am in Banff with my Dan. It's amazing, I'll put up pics in the next day or two. Hope everyone is having a great day!!!
