Every Day is a New Day

The sun is shining here today. It's not money, but it IS golden and makes me feel all fuzzy inside, so I'll take it!


I have to go in to Roots in about an hour to pick something up. It will be the second time I've been there since that fateful day. It's weird, you can work somewhere for a while and feel at home, then this happens, and you kind of feel like an outsider every time you walk in. I guess technically I am an outsider, if you wanted to get right down and dirty! It's nice seeing all the people there though, even though they are busy little bees.

Do you think they would notice if I just sat down behind the desk and started doing confirmation calls? I bet Annierose would love the help! The fact it would be helpful would totally mask the creepy factor right? I mean in life, you really do have to put things on a scale and weigh the negative vs. the positive, and that would be a positive! Too bad for Annierose, I'm a realist and that would never happen! Sorry darlin!

I did more newspaper/internet ad stalking just now. BLEAK! WHY IS IT SO BLEAK! I demand answers. I should set up a little camping situation outside of City Hall and reside there until someone hires me. I wouldn't be homeless because I do have a home, but I would be making a point that there needs to be more jobs! Oh god... oh noooo... I am starting to sound like the rest of the unemployed in North America. We're all cynical and bitchy, raising our fists towards the injustices of the world today. I don't really like being on this side of the fence guys, throw me a bone here! (please boil it severally first...)

I recently posted a status update on my personal Facebook saying 'I wish free time was actually free'... how true is that?! When you don't have to work, you are stressed, when you have to work, you wish for a holiday. OH MURPHEY! Your laws are so very annoying good sir!

I shall turn this day in to something productive though. Once I get back from my daily errand running I will lay in to layout making and maybe while I'm out, take some photos. I have to keep pressing on with all these plans because inevitably, one (or hopefully more than that) will pan out for me.

I hope your sunny day is treating you well, and if it is not sunny... I apologize. Make the best of the gloom if it's gloomy... comment here and entertain me and we can be gloomy together!! I'll make popcorn hehehe.

Here's to another day... *crosses fingers for something good*

Thanks for reading lovelies!

Shh, I've been busy...

I have entered a state that I like to title 'Hermitting' the past few days. I have been doing major research on the new age of coding, which I haven't dabbled heavily with for a few years. There are a lot of new codes to fiddle with, and a ton of new ways to do things in the way of building layouts from the ground up. Yes, this is massive geek talk, and yes I've been enjoying the research!


I want to put a new layout on this blog, one that is me to a 't' and one that I can call home. I loved the layout I had when I was blogging for Roots, but yanno, times apparently change and the theme does not fit well anymore. It's all good though, now I can go layout crazy and have fun with it.

As for progress, well, like I said I've been researching. Not much has happened in the way of producing a result, but I feel like I am almost ready to give it a shot.

As for my help wanted ad stalking... it's a pretty dry pond out there in the work force. I don't see a lot of options that are presenting themselves. No call backs, no nothing. I didn't expect to get back on the horse right away as apparently, someone came in the night and kidnapped all of the horses. I can walk though, no matter how far I have to walk, I'll get there. I might have to buy some new shoes along the way, and that is why I'm hoping for odd jobs! Odd jobs = shoe money! Shoe money, in the non metaphorical sense of things means food money, but that's not as much fun.

Just wanted to post a little update! Wish me luck for the rest of this week. Maybe one of those horses will come galloping in, sun rays shining down from the heavens, trumpets playing in the distance... after all that drama, the damn horse better be galloping with a job offer!!

Later folks!

Thanks for reading,

The Inevitable Post

Posted by Sadie the Receptionist

Well ladies and gents, I am finally mustering up the courage and sucking up the ego and posting about the recent news in my life.


Rrrrrready?!

I no longer work for Roots the Salon.

*gasp* *shock* *ohh* *ahhh*

Yerp, last week I was let go from my position as Receptionist due to company cut backs. As most of you know we had two locations, one in Courtenay and one in Comox. Those two became one, and because of that, one receptionist had to be let go. I was that unfortunate 'one'.

I have spent the past seven days going over it in my mind. I've gone through all of the emotions, as you can imagine. I have two very prominent feelings left in me right now. One is a serious drive to push forward in my life and make the best of this entire thing. The second being the continuous feeling of missing my co-workers, even though I can still go harass them any time I want *wink*

Things happen, I'm not going to whine on endlessly or write sad sad songs that I sit in a corner and sing out loud while I strum on my guitar that I honestly can't play. I'm not going to trash on Roots either. It is a great salon full of the most amazing hair stylists I've ever met, and more than that, the most amazing people! I would still send people there to have their hair done because I know how hard those guys and gals work, and I would never say or do anything to harm business or relations for them.

I am going to take this opportunity to pull my big girl socks up, smile a goofy smile and make this some sort of adventure. I love adventures, and this can possibly be a great one if I play my cards right! I am going to keep blogging. This, friends, is blogging material right here! We have all the makings of a good drama story and hell, I am not beyond exploiting myself! I will write tabloids about myself and take trashy pictures to mail to... myself.. and write... about.. myself? Well the format worked there for a second in my brain.

Moving on! No really, I'm moving on! Let's do this!

I want to send out a very very heartfelt and sincere thank you to each and every one of you out there that have supported me from day one, and to those that jumped on this ride a little late but have left no shortage of love for me. You guys are what made this blog amazing to write, and why would I want to abandon you!? Being abandoned is NO FUN I SAY!

I will miss seeing some of your faces in the Salon. I say some, because I know I have some readers that are not from around here. I would have missed your faces if I had ever seen them, I promise!

I love you guys, you are awesome. I hope you stick around as I turn this blog in to my new mission...

SADIE'S BLOG FOR A JOB 2011 MARATHON!

That's right... I shall blog about my woes and whoopies in the unemployed world until I land a job somewhere. And then? Then I will blog about the job there and continue to take you all along with me for the adventures ahead. Hey, maybe I can get a bit more personal now... I don't know if that is a good thing? I promise not to start writing about how delicious the toast is that I am eating and exactly how much peanut butter was spread... I'll make it a bit more interesting than that.

Blog ya soon lovelies, and hey, if you need a receptionist.... *cough* designdreamer@shaw.ca *cough*

Much love!

Thank you for reading,
♥Sadie
