Weekly Wrap-up

Welcome Back,

This last week has been a little stressful... I started off last weekend with a job interview with our competitor. That looked promising and the last I had heard a few days ago, that company wanted to run an ad in the paper for 1 week just to see who else might apply, since they know my time is limited, and of course they want someone long term...

I was able to get a portion of the Parts Return done this week. I had a bit of help from the 2 other employees that stayed behind to help close the store. I was hoping to get a nice chunk of it done before I take some time off to go to Canada. That's not gonna happen

I was given some good news today about an hour before leaving work. Looks like I will be going back to my old store, starting Monday!!! The Big Ass return is no longer my problem. That is such a HUGE weight off of my shoulders!! I no longer have to worry about whether or not I have a job to come back too. No more job hunting!! BONUS!!! Sure I will be back working Saturdays again But I'll get Sundays and Mondays off!!
The only real con about going back to that store is that I won't be able to access the EF from work!!! I can only hope to maintain my Senior Status and make up for lost time during the weekend.
Then again If Jambon was able to get a proxy to work, I'm sure we can get passed that evil web blocker again Mwuahahaha!!

During the course of this week, I managed to write my Vows! I think it came out rather well, although I'm not 100% satisfied....Feels like it's missing a certain something...I've read it over a few times and I still get a little teary-eyed at the end. But I think I will add a bit more to it. I'd share what I have so far with you, but I don't want to ruin the surprise for Jambon I have no way of knowing who actually reads my blog...

As for this coming weekend, I'll be very very busy preparing for Jambon's arrival on Monday!!!! I have a "To Do" List all made out... I will be working at the other location and will have the flight tracker going @ 2:30 pm.
That's really a cool feature, for those of you who have never used it. I go to www.weathernetwork.com and on the left side you'll see the link for Flight Tracker, as long as you have the flight information or when/where/time you can watch the whole flight from beginning to end. Pretty cool,eh!

After doing this a few times, I know that once Jambon takes off from Toronto or Montreal, it's a race to see who gets to the airport first!
Me driving in my 2001 Saturn SL2 or the airplane he's flying in on lol. Hopefully he won't get hassled going through customs again. I expect that things should go smoothly.. He was told that he was not going to be allowed to enter the US until October.. which it is... This time he will have a return ticket... which he didn't have before.

Last time he arrived by plane in January 2008, he was held up in Montreal... he was delayed and missed his flight by 10 minutes I had my cell phone on me, but Jamb only had my home # I tracked his flight, watched it take off, left here to go pick him up, waited and waited, and waited... 4 hours went by and no James... Of course I'm worried and I found the pilot that was on his flight and he couldn't tell me anything... I was not a contact in case of an emergency, so all I was told was that I should go home and see if he left a message....*sigh* How aggrivating was that!
So an hour drive back home, seemed like forever... and sure enough I had 3 messages waiting... His first flight from Calgary to Montreal was delayed about 30 minutes. That flight arrives in Montreal & James was held up by customs, the flight wouldn't wait 10 minutes and they left with out him... So now he's in Montreal staying AND paying for a room that was totally unexpected. Never an offer to compensate him for causing him to miss his flight... Just booked him on the first flight for the next morning...GRRRRRR... Naturally it was nice to hear his voice, all the better knowing he was alright.

We live and learn, right.... We now know that a return ticket will save you lots of aggrivation going though customs... James now has my cell # and I am listed as a contact in case of emergency :P

Anyhoo, I've rambled on for far too long.... I'll be sure to report back with a few details from our Trip to Canada and our Wedding!!!
