UGH!
So I haven't updated in ages! Well not ages but a while.
It always goes like this:

Erin: "I'm totally going to blog more often" (saying this to myself of course)
Reality: I stop blogging because my life is pretty boring and I don't have much to share.

BUT this time folks, I do.

Since my last update, I got a job. Here's the details in point form.

Positive stuff:
  • I work for a company that used to be part of an oil and gas company but broke off, created a new company that went into the chemical manufacturing business.
  • I can walk to work (and do) in 22 minutes
  • The office has approx 90 people
  • I make exactly $10,000/year MORE than I did at this time last year
  • I have killer benefits and investment opportunities
  • Everyone seems really nice
  • Laid back office environment
  • I managed to negotiate 2 days off during my first month of work
  • I will now have the money to have an amazing summer and hopefully leave the country before 2010, need to get a passport first though
  • I have something to do with my time....I guess!
The negatives, which aren't really all that negative:

  • I do the exact same thing I did 6 years ago, which is kind of a step back, but financially it's a step up so that's all that matters to me at this point
  • I am, once again probably the youngest person in the office, which means no friendship opportunities, (a girl needs friends, people!)
  • I will be working during the summer (I was wishing to be off for the summer, cause I haven't had a summer off since I was 16
  • I have to wake up at 6:15, to be at work for 8:00am, and I don't get off til 5:00pm

I'm ugly and I don't know why!

I was walking home from school one day,
when I saw Danny, standing there,
I tried to show him, my dirty underwear,
he showed me his, but nothing could compare,
then he said "you're ugly, what the fuck gave birth to you",
you're ugly, and I bet your mom is too,
you're ugly, man what's with that doo,
you're ugly, because, you're ugly!

This song just popped into my head, it's from way back in my Hike-School days, as I was pouring my coffee with soy chocolate milk.

Ya, I know, sounds douchy, kind of like ordering at Starbucks, but that's all I have right now in the form of dairy or dairy wanna be products and I AIN'T going out lookin like this. Normally I don't care what I look like if I just need to run out quickly and get something from the store. But today, that's just my excuse for being lazy. Cause in reality, my hair looks fantastic and I haven't even brushed it yet.

On another note, I am waiting to potentially get a job offer either tomorrow or Monday, which I guess good cause it's a job, but I have a really friggin wicked interview with a science organization within the University of Calgary. The job sounds great, exciting, challenging, loads of responsibilities and I would have 4-6 people working under me. ooo lala, bitches!
