I guess I got my first real job. After a few very short interviews I was hired at Zeller's to work the same job that Kevin is doing, this ridiculous overnight shelf-stocking shift. We went around last week to about 21 businesses dropping off resumes and filling out job applications and Zeller's is the only place that actually called me :S
The last week has been decently exciting, besides that. I went over to Vancouver and saw a couple friends from SFU and went to a friend's cousin's wedding just past Pitt Meadows. I swear the wedding cost at least $50,000 and the ceremony was only like 20 minutes. It was all reception. There was a harpist, an open bar, 200 guests, and even tea bags with the couple's name on them. Over the top, probably. They could have put a down payment on a house or started a small business. :S Instead they paid for 200 people to drink a bunch.
I picked up a pair of steel-toed boots for Zeller's today. After that I did some more odd jobs for some friends of my mom's from church. I used to say that it was landscaping cuz I was digging gardens, moving dirt and putting in fence posts; however, today I was digging up sprinkler plumbing and jackhammering the sidewalk going up to their front door. It is good experience to learn how to do this stuff, but the real lesson I'm learning is how glad I am that I'm getting an education so I don't have to work labour to make a living.
Kevin and I had a plan to explore various gyms in Nanaimo, but they are all geared towards women. There are only 3 co-ed private gyms and then Beban Park and the NAC. Even the co-ed gyms have a "Women Only" area. So we only have tried out 4 gyms which isn't much selection. VI Fitness has a great atmosphere so I am drawn to it, but Lifestyle has a pool and steam room which is always nice after a workout. They are equidistant from my house so that isn't an issue.
I tried to buy my RHCP ticket like right at 10 am when they went on sale on the internet, but noooooo and got shut down until 10:07 so I'm like 26 rows back. Now the whole floor and plaza is sold out already for this concert which is in September :S. Now I have something to look forward to when I go back to school. There is another concert that I want to go to on Canada Day, and the tickets are only $20. They go on sale tomorrow, but I need to get the time off and probably find someone to go with.
I really don't know what to do to get my sleeping schedule to work with work. My hours are 9-3. wtf. Should I stay up now until 3 or 4 and sleep tomorrow until 2 or should I go to bed now, get up early and nap at like 5 so I can wake up for work. In any case, it'll be wonky.
