Mr. Laboratory Chemist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so uber unbelievably proud of my sweetie. I would dance the funky chicken right now but it's too late and I would make the dog bark. So I will silently cheer from my computer chair and do a little jiggy.

*jiggy*

More on life later. I have a quiz to "study" for.

Mixed signals suck

What do you do when...

• Your supervisor and you make tenative plans on your responsibilities when you are able to start full time when....
• You hear through the grapevine that your other "boss" wants to fire you?

Now, I understand that my Russian dicator boss is a ass and a half, and I doubt that he has real authority to fire anyone (let alone me), and that I was told he "says things he might not mean" when he's mad or pissed off. But the thing is, is that I didn't piss him off or have said anything to offend him. I mean, it's been two weeks since I even said a word to the guy. So what the fuck have I done to deserve this?

I've also been told that my supervisor and boss "talk" quite a bit, so that I shouldn't be surprised if my supervisor is in on this. But how do you react when she comes up to you an hour later and tells you that she wants to train me on more advanced tests and give me more responsibilities?

I worked my ass off all summer when we were short staffed, running all the tests and doing at least 60-80 samples a day, a lot of the time by myself. I worked a-many 12 hrs days, and still had time to train the new people. And this is what I get? I don't need or want a thank you, but the knowledge that my job is secure because I work hard is good enough.

I need to get out of here. For my sanity and for my soul...I think this has really pushed me over the limit. Whether this is a real threat or not, I don't care...it shouldn't exist in the first place. I'm going to apply everywhere and accept the first thing that lands on my lap.

What a ridiculous company.

Oh..I see..I get it now...

So I was in MacHall about 5 mins ago, eating my lunch, and listening on a very stimulating intellectual conversation between two guys sitting about a couple chairs away from me. This is how the conversation went:

Dude #1: I saw Janelle this weekend eh
Dude #2: Oh yah? How was it?
D1: Dude..she got like..so hot. I don't know what f*cking happened. Like so hot.
D2: I know man. Like, what a f*ck eh? What would you give her?
D1: I'd give her a 7 man. For sure.
D2: Naw..that's it??
D1: Hell yah. She's cute man, that's for sure. And there was another chick that passed by me when I was waiting in line at the bookstore.
D2: She hot too?
D1: Damn yah! She looked at me and..(blah blah blah...he goes on and on about this hot chick and how they made eye contact and then he lost his "moment of opportunity")...and yah. She's cute man. I'd give her a 6.5
D2: How about the other chicks we met at...(muffled voice)
D1: It's alwright. I'd do the short black chick. She was f*cking hot.
D2: Yah, I'd do her too
D1: But not like Susan. She is the most f*cking hottest chick I've ever met. Pure 10.

And so goes the conversation. It's very enlightening. I wonder, for the men out there...do they really rate chicks in their mind upon meeting them? Or is the classification based on whether or not you'd sleep with them or not? I don't think girls ever really do that...I mean..I'm sure there are...but most of the girlfriends I know haven't....*I think =P*

And why is it that "cute chicks" get a lower score than the "hot ones"?? No fair!!! I demand a re-score!

Long week

Finally, it's almost coming to an end.

Some things that happened:

• School started. That means the beginning of 533. It's hard. It's brutal. I had a quiz already. I'm bitter.
• The start of school means the end of full time position at work. Now I'm only there everyday after class except for Thurs. It's nice. I don't have to face them superiors everyday and focus on finding a much more rewarding position.
• Funk Fusion starts next week! I joined up again with Diana and Grace. Should be uber fun!
• I'm trying to persuade Darren to take Ballroom dance classes with me. Any guys have an idea how to accomplish this feat?
• I bought (yes, like spent money on..) Justin Timberlake's new CD "FutureSex/LoveSounds". It's UBER good!

Also one thing that I completely forgot to mention was that over the September long weekend I went out to Kananaskis with Janet, Holly, and some other friends, and we went horseback riding! It's was my first time on a horse, so it was a bit scary. But after about half an hour, you get the hang of it and it starts to be real fun. However, after two hours of sliding off my horse, perpetual bouncing, and the pooing and peeing adventures of CoCo (my horsey), my groin area hurt so much I thought I was going to start riding the horse standing up. Regardless, it was so much fun...and you get to be in the great outdoors too! How rewarding is that?

I can't wait till the weekend...I get to relax!! Annnddd maybe clean up my room. Me and Darren will attempt first hand a korean meal on Sat night. Hopefully it'll work..I mean when you think about it..it's just cold noodles..!! So...how hard can it be..?? Right?? Right??

Karen

PS: Donnaaaaa...did you change your blog to beta or something?? I can't sign it..it won't let me!! Is there something wrong with meeeee???

Very touched

Weddings are always so beautiful and grand...no matter if it's your own or others.

Last night's wedding was exactly that...congrats Ricky and Jennifer...I am so very very thrilled and happy for you guys!

It had all the elements of a perfect wedding:

• The bride started crying on reciting her vows..in which erupted into a room full of tears. Even I got teary (it was really quite the happy time), and so did the bridesmaids, groomsmen, the piano player, the parents, and even the official marrying them. Oy.
• It had the little baby that everyone was enamoured with (including me...she was such a cutie)
• There was sooo much food...I couldn't believe it...so much seafood in one sitting!
• There was also the wedding cheap-o. What do I mean by that? He's the guy who goes around to each table after the reception and proceeds to collect all of the wedding favors that people haven't taken. Well, that's fine actually..I mean why not right? But why is this the wedding cheap-o? Because not only did he take the favors, but he takes all the unused napkins and wetnaps left on the table by the restaurant too. I sat there, incredulously, a few seats away, while this guy rifled through our stash, took whatever was "usable", ran back to his table, hid the new stash on the chair, and ran to another table, while his "mother" kept watch. It was amazing.
• And there were also the games for the bride and groom. Oh man. Those were so hilarious. They totally got played.
• The groom also serenated to the bride. That was very, so, so, sweet. And after when he was done, he stood there looking at the crowd, with this huge smile on his face. That's when I knew this was truly the happiest day of his life.
• Even Darren and his friends said that they haven't seen Ricky smile so much in their 10+ yrs of friendship. Now that I think about it...it's true...
• The wedding cake was from Yamato's. How can you beat that??
• Ken, the mcee, was freaken hilarious. Ricky bared the brunt end of the embarassment most of the time, which was fine by most of the crowd.

Anyways, it was a beautiful and amazing time. I wish them both eternal happiness and luck...!

PS: Ick..school starts tomorrow. I can't believe it...was summer really that short? But it seriously felt like it just started. *sigh*

Ooh la la...

Name: Tsumabuki Satoshi
Place: Japan

I first saw him in the preview for Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. He's the "Handsome Guy" (really, that's his character name) who points to the two chicks and says, "Go" like...15 secs into the preview:

After a bit of researching....I realized where else I've seen him.

Audrey, you'll laugh at this too.

He was the main character off a japanese comedy (HILARRRIOUS) movie called Waterboys. Yups. That's right. It's so funny I even have the movie (thanks to Audrey, of course).

He's the dude that's next to the afro guy, being jumped off of:


And..for a longer version (but the completed sychronized swim routine!), he's shows up clearly 4 mins or so into the clip...where he's singing to the girl..and later on..he loses his swimming trunks. But seriously, watch the entire 7mins clip. It's hilarious!


Who knew that guys could get so incredibly good looking in 5 years? Oh my oh my...the luxuries celebrities can afford..!

But whatever. He's still good looking to me.
