So i\’m quite popular…

Had a fabulous day yesterday, aside from that whole e-mail thing!  Went out for lunch and shopping with Miss Jen and then hung out with her and her future hubby for a bit.  I love how its totally acceptable for me to wear my fuzzy pink hello kitty jammie pants & my HK t-shirt so long as I\’m wearing heels to their wedding in May.  I\’m classy like that 😉  Then I went to Jolly Roger\’s where Jeff was being his usual thorn in my side/pain in my ass/makes me want to stab myself in the forehead with a plastic fork charming self.  Gil wasn\’t there but I made an appointment for April anyway, fingers crossed I have money ha ha!  Then I dashed off to see Krystal for a few hours at her place.  Which was nice, it was good to catch up with her.  I miss our morning coffee/gab fests, when we used to work together.  I despise being texted to death though, got my plan back but Jesus Christ if I\’m busy & can\’t get back to you right that second chill the fuck out!  Girl needs her space yo & if you (meaning anyone) ain\’t willing to give it to me, then my ass will runneth far, far away from you.

Murphy\’s law, the minute you get a job, everyone and their mother is on the phone to you asking for interviews.  I\’ll call them back and see what kind of offer is on the table.  I\’m on a temporary 30 day contract with the daycare so we\’ll see what happens.  I know I can swing two jobs with the hours I have there & if they offer more money then where I am currently then we\’ll see what happens.  Don\’t have proper ID for the background check to go through, which is very specific.  Basically they want to see if I have a federal record (which I don\’t) or anything violent, fraud/theft related and most important of all if I\’m a registered sex offender or not.  Which I of course have to pay for ($63.00), also had to shell out $50.00 for an infant/child specific CPR course which I don\’t mind too much because that could come in handy.  Highly unlikely, but you never know.  Its also required by law due to the fact that I am working a facility with children.  Oh and lets not forget my expedited birth certificate.  Which is kind of my own fault.  My last one was \”misplaced\” and  by misplaced I know where it is, but the chances of me getting it are nil.

Stupid thing is, I applied for a replacement months ago but it didn\’t go through and its slipped my mind since then.  So of course now that I need it like yesterday I had to have it expedited.  Its an extra $30.00 but whatever, at least I\’ll have it in 5 business days as opposed to 15 and the sooner I have it, the better.  So I better keep this damn job since its costing me a small fortune to work there.  At least I get to keep my copy of the background search, which could come in handy somewhere later on in life.  The CPR certification is always good to have and so is my birth certificate.  I don\’t mind spending the money because its all useful. I just don\’t have a lot of it to be throwing around these days.  Then again, who does really?  Although I have never had a job that\’s cost me so much money either.  Isn\’t the whole purpose behind working to make money while there?  Anyway…

Good things come

to those that wait.

Sometimes at least right?  Got rudely awakened  by the phone this morning which normally irritates the hell out of me and I was cranky and tired so I didn\’t answer it.  Turns out it was the daycare calling me with a job offer which I happily accepted!  No more insane schedule!  I\’m pretty sure I\’m not the only one who\’s going to be happy about that.  As much as I love my foray\’s into the wee hours of the morning, I at least have the option of going to bed as opposed to going straight to work.  After all its hardly fair.  Right?  I don\’t expect anyone to cater to me at all, give and take is where its at after all!  In any case this is one situation where I will happily take responsibility for my own actions.  I always do anyway as a rule but some instances are far better then others!

So yeah pretty stoked about that!  Its a little more money and I of course have the option of staying at COC as well, which I will because I need the cash!  Got to pay off my Visa, I want need another tattoo, school and a million other things.  The nice thing about this place is that I work from 7:30-2:30 M-F YAY!  So I\’ll snag a few shifts from the other place and hopefully get caught up and can still maintain some semblance of a life.  Who knew?  We\’ll see what happens, there\’s one thing that concerns me but I\’m not going to let that bother me too much until I have too.  Let\’s just hope that doesn\’t kick me in the ass, which it very well might.  If it does, well its no one\’s fault but my own.  The only downfall to this week is that I\’m working at the day care Thursday & Friday, then I have a photo-shoot that I totally kinda forgot about  Saturday afternoon for a rather interesting art book.  Then working at COC over the weekend which means no days off until the following Saturday.  Ah well, if that\’s what I have to do then so be it.  Going to totally throw off my sleeping pattern but I\’m thinking that\’s not such a bad thing!

So in spite of the slightly irritating things that have occurred as of late, things are pretty damn good where they matter 🙂

Progress…

I do love me some progress!  You know what I don\’t particularly care for?  The big ass pile of paperwork that\’s currently on the other side of my bed.  I could think of much better things to curl up into bed with…  Anyway I registered a domain today, for Jason\’s foundation & I submitted the paperwork for a name search/reservation.  Of course you can do this online (for free), however it doesn\’t work (of course) however at least I\’ll have the paperwork needed to submit along with my pile of paperwork all for $37.00.  So I\’m pretty much going cross eyed reading reams of manuals, forms and applications.  I was going the registered charity route, but after doing more research changed my mind.  I know the government must have loved that!  So now I\’m back at square one, but that\’s OK.   Mainly because going not for profit offers my foundation more freedom in terms of who I can give my money to.  Simply put: registered charities can only donate to other registered charities wheres NFP can donate to whomever they want to as long as they\’re not for profit or a registered charity.

This is turning into a slightly costly venture though I must say.  I get the name check because then you get a patent and registration from the government.  That\’s important, people can look that stuff up and in order to hold events and what have you its crucial to this foundations well being.  So to apply for that its $145.00 which I don\’t currently have (but I will) then I have to go visit a notary and God knows how much that\’s going to cost me.  I get that too though because if they made it easy, then everyone and their mother would be registering not for profit/charitable status for the tax benefits.  It is however a bit of a hassle.  The thing that\’s the most irritating?  Having to download/print a \”translated version\” of the paperwork!  Because it has to be submitted in French (FFS!) such a hassle!  They won\’t accept it if you submit it on those forms *sigh* sooooo got that out of the way.  Called my other directors (you need at least 3 people to do this) and now I\’m playing the waiting game.

Have to get the name OK first, which is on the way.  Then I have to get the paperwork completed and signed by Krystal & Donna.  So I\’m heading off to NDG on Wed to go see them and hang out for a bit.  So if anything I feel like something is happening, even if its going to take a while.  I like progress, its important.  At least I think so.  So in the meantime I\’m going to start working on the website because that will likely take me longer then anything else.  I can\’t make it public until I get that paperwork, which sucks because I want to tell people but I haven\’t told anyone as of yet.  Its not that I don\’t trust anyone, its more so if in the event that I don\’t get the name that I want then I don\’t have to run around and explain everything to everyone about the change and what not as well.  Doesn\’t matter because the domain is bought and paid for so no going back now lol.

I\’m going to bed, its not even 3am.  My sleep schedule is kinda futzed up but I know I\’m not the only one 😉  Oh what I would give for a normal schedule, but then again I tend to loose track of time with some people.  But its awesome when I do!  However the whole lack of sleep thing sucks, especially when its not happening to you.  I can at least go to sleep and I know that.  I have lots to do though, laundry, buy some food for a change!  Stuff like that.

Come again? Tales of woe, drama and useless junk…

You know, my life is epic.  Truly, there\’s never a dull moment and when there is I tend to cherish them.  Kind of like good people in my life…  Someone said to me the other day:\”Is every guy you know (or been involved with, something to that effect) an ass?\” To which I simply replied it would seem like that wouldn\’t it?  Except he\’s not (YAY, well at least not yet).  Oddly enough I got to thinking to myself would I appreciate him for who he is nearly as much as I do had I not encountered such douche-baggery through the years?  Likely not, but who am I to say?  Everything does happen for a reason does it not?  OH yeah speaking of douche-bags, I just about damn near lost it yesterday when I turned my phone back on after trekking all across Montreal yesterday afternoon to find my text message in-box flooded with messages from Micheal.  Micheal who has his own tag on my blog (mostly because he\’s the only person I know who uses the word wow so much) and he\’s also the guy who stood me up and pissed me right. the. fuck. off.Gives me the weakest reasoning behind why I haven\’t heard from him in two months, yes that\’s right TWO months.  That was the biggest insult of all!  Honestly, I wasn\’t born yesterday, please don\’t insult my intelligence like that!

I call bullshit, because really, I have several e-mail accounts (don\’t ask I just do) and he has the two that I generally utilize the most.  So did he leave his laptop with said person who had his phone too?  I have a really hard time believing that.  You see he\’s been dropping in and out of my life like a damn yo-yo.  I finally put my foot down and said this is it, you pull some stunt like that again and your done.  I know people are busy, we ALL have lives.  blah blah blah…  However after such a long period of time why bother?  It was made quite clear to me that apologizing wasn\’t his intention(he even went as far to say that there was no apology in his message(s) to me), yet he felt \”I had the right to know & what I\’m(meaning me) thinking isn\’t true\”.  So obviously he still cares.  Awe how sweet, guess what?  I DON\’T.  As in care.  Regardless of whether your sorry or not, its too late to apologize anyway.  You won\’t ever have the best of me.  I have chosen to move on.  I made a promise to myself and anyone who truly knows me, knows that I don\’t make promises that I have no intentions of keeping. NEXT!
