I'M CRAZY, I KNOW.....

So this will be my last posting for atleast a week because I am going to be really busy this upcoming week. I know many of you guys are going to think I'm crazy for sure because I signed up for 33.5 hours overtime just for this week alone at the call center and in total that will be 73.5 hours in one week. I just want the extra cash to help pay of my Visa bill, that isn't so high, but I like to keep the amount low just in case of emergencies. Might of gotten a little out of hand in the month of June though, hehehe... My bro is also coming in a few weeks also and I would like some extra spending money when he comes in as well. So I got my reasons, just hope I am able to mentally/physically do it. I can see myself being drained when Saturday comes around, but I hope not because there will be a party that night and you all know how I like my beers, hahaha... Nice and cold ;). So here is my routine for the week, wake up in the mornings and have a good breakfast and make a lunch (which will be new, because I never eat at work) and then head to work. Survive the work day, come home and have a nice cold beer and relax for a bit and then go to bed. When I say relax, I don't mean playing my new PS2 game, Rachet and Clank - Going Commando because I would never sleep then.

So since the last posting, not much has changed really. I still find myself very happy with my life and ofcourse a lot of it has to do who I am with. She certainly knows how to make me smile in so many ways, I never thought possible. This is just an example how great she is, she works two jobs and still able to find time for me and that is greatly appreciated. I probably won't see her much outside of work this week, but when it is all over, I just want one long relaxing day to rejuvinate and the weather better be nice this time. So yeah, things are still going great with us and sometimes I wonder if I deserve her still, but my horoscope told me to stop worrying about the past and accept things in how they are right now. I might have to take that advice.

Other than work and my relationship, not much has been on the go. I really love living here with Tammy though and having her sister, with her husband and baby around has been lots of fun. Past Thursday was Tammy's and Tara's (LeRiche Twins) b-da y and we went out for supper which the place had great food and then Tammy, Jason (her boyfriend), Tiffany and myself went to Dooley's to play pool. At first Tammy and Jason was kicking our asses, but after a few pitchers of beer in me, I was doing alright, except for that one time I sunk the eight ball thinking I had all our balls in already. Fun times for sure and the night will certainly never be forgotten :D. Having the baby around is also fun and I enjoy kids, except for the fact of changing dypers, hahaha... Not going to be me.

That's it, wait tell next time... Just hope I make it through through the week...

A Possible All-Nighter

So I just finished reading my last posting to see where I left off at and I guess it has been just over a week since I last written in my blog, even though no one really reads it anyways, other than Tiffany. So I am not sure how much use this actually gets and she already knows what happens because other than work, I try to spend as much time with her.

So now I am trying to think what interesting things happened... Work is going alright as usual, just a few comfortable at work with a co-worker, I am sure that's nothing new. I try not to let work bother me to much and tonight even when I was in the kitchen speaking to the LeRiche Twins about work, Tara noticed that irate customers doesn't phase me much, just in the fact that I like making them more pissed at times, hehehe..... For example, I had this caller tonight that had no dial tone on her phone service and it was due to her not paying her cable bill, so I was unable to further assist her with her issue. She flipped out and at the end of the call she was like "see you in court" and hung up the phone. I just sat there and laughed in my chair. I have to make my job fun, or I would go crazy though, so I am just up to my old ways of course.

The past Thursday night, a large crew from work went over to Breaker's (a pool hall) and played a bit of pool and got drunk. I only had two drinks because I was driving, but it was still a great time. The only thing I wish was really to have my old pool skills back from the days I was Acadia Champion for two years and my residence champion, but those were the days I did not do so well in school, I wonder why ;). Tiffany was loaded, but how can you blame her, specially when drinks are cheap. Then Friday came around, and after work I went downtown with Tiffany and two of her friends to O'Reiley's where the Navigators were playing. I love that band, lots of fun times already drinking and dancing to them with Tiffany, never a dull moment, that's for sure.

However, before meeting up with Tiffany, I went to Jill's (the crazy one) and picked up my late b-day present which was a case of Kokanee beer. I told her before that she could get rid of it and that I don't want to see her outside of work because I think.....As Amy would say.....She's a nut bar. She also wanted me to stay and have one beer with her before leaving, but I didn't, I just grabbed the beer and left. I felt really bad because Tiffany was really worried, but I would never do anything to hurt that girl. I think she knows it now.

Saturday, Tiffany had to work at her other job, so I spent most of the day relaxing. I went to the mall and bought some more Randy River clothing and the second part of Rachet and Clank - Going Commando and I think I'll be pulling off an all-nighter tonight playing it. After she got off work, we went to my friend's place from Churchill Falls and she got to meet a room full of Labradorians. Hope she didn't get to scared. Sunday, was an other relaxing day and we went to see Batman - The Beginning, which I liked a lot. I think one of the best bbq's I ever had was that night also after the movie and I still think I can taste it in my mouth.

So that's it for now. Not only do I have a great girlfriend at the moment, but I realized that I have an amazing best friend as well through Tiffany.

No Voice

So this morning I woke up and my throat was killing me and I could not speak at all. I sounded like I was whispering everything, so I took a sick day off work because I would be kinda of useless on the phones today when I can't speak. However, I am in the process in making a special batch of my homemade chicken soup. There is a few ingredients in there that will probably clear up my throat, hopefully anyways. I also bought some green tea and a lemon to have before I go to bed tonight. I just researched on Google to see if there was any home remedies I could use to make me feel better and that's what I got, so cross your fingers that it works.

So my weekend was certainly an other eventfull one. Saturday at work was probably one of the busiest Saturdays I ever worked. When I got there, R&M was slammed in "Q" and I had to log in the phones as soon as possible. We were in that "Q" for almost over an hour actually. However, after my first break they put me back in Care, which was great and the rest of the day at work was slow. After work is when the fun began though because I went to Jeff's party (a friend of Tiff's) and had an other blast. I don't know what I like more, house parties or going downtown. It's a toss up, that's for sure. So it was a fun time and more drunken pictures, some involving a viking suit and sword, hahaha... If you want to see them, I have them posted on "My Space" (http://spaces.msn.com/members/rocdoc), which you can also access through the new Meesenger as well. Fun Times for sure.

So it has been over a month now since Tiffany and I started dating and technically when June 15 comes around, it would be exactly a month officially. I have nothing but great things to say about this girl and before Sunday I honestly thought I didn't deserve her at alll. However, after thinking about it a lot and from the things that Tiff says to me, I feel that we deserve each other. It justs seems like the time we spend together is great and there is not one time when I have been with her I couldn't smile. However, instead of going on and on about her, you just have to meet the girl and see for yourself in what I see.

Now for the suprise ending of this posting. I never had chocolate in a week now. See my friend at work Shannon decided that she was going to give up chocolate for a month and I decided to see if I could resist the temptation also. It's not easy, but I am doing good so far. Well, Shannon, if you read this blog at all, we're going out for some Chocolate Eruption Cheesecake when this is all over. I read one of your friends comments to that posting and if you decide giving up beer, you are on your own, hahaha.....

Time to finish the soup.

Can't Sleep

So it is 2:00am in the morning and I am just sitting in my bed typing away. I am not even tired at all, I guess it was just a long day for me. It all started off when waking up this morning and barely making it out of bed because I was in that much pain. My upper back and neck was killing me. I think it was how I slept though because I woke up on my back and I never sleep on my back, I am usually on my side curled up against something or someone ;). I was never a morning person, but lately I have been getting up earlier than usual, but you would think it bothered me, but it certainly doesn't anymore. It's worth it for sure. Some of you guys that read this will be like what the fuck is this guy mumbling about and others will be reading this with a smile :D. So after I woke up I got my parcels ready to send in the mail for Father's Day and my brother's B-Day. There is a girl from work that really wants to meet the bro because she seen a old picture of him and thinks he cute. She's goes around work calling me BIL (Brother in Law), hahaha... She's nuts, but fucking hilarious. So after posting my parcels in the mail, I get this call from my father telling me that my mother's first cousin's son committed suicide yesterday and he was only 23 years old. I don't really know who he is because my family is huge, but it still has an affect on you because he's still family and you just think how can someone go through with that? He was also really good friends with a girl from work and now she is going home earlier to go to a funeral. Certainly not easy shit to think about. Work is always busy now also where we picked up the Boston Market, the largest Market for Comcast. Tonight when I got home, I had some Mary Brown's and watched a movie with Tammy. I got sick though, but feeling alright now.

It's rare to see me in a down mood, so here are some highlights of the day or since my last posting was posted. This week at work, I chose to go with R&M permanently because to avoid a certain crazy person and Candice, the Team Leader really wanted me to join because of my personality and stats. Some people think I am nuts, but I am not, honestly, hehehe... I do feel great about myself lately though, specially when someone keeps calling me wicked and amazing. I think it's her that is bringing the best out of me though because I am just being myself. Yeah Tiffany, you are great yourself. She came up to the Geo Center with me the other day and I bought rocks of course and I bought her a piece of Labradorite also. I was like a kid in a candy shop that morning and if I had enough money, I would own that gift shop. Also, she did beat me at Trivia Pursuit last night and Tammy did also, so instead of saying women rule and men drool, I want a re-match, hahaha...

Tomorrow night I am going to Tiffany's friend Jeff's party after work and that should be lots of fun. Actually, majority of my time with Tiffany has been a blast anyways.

That's it for now, peace out

Finally Got This To Work

I guess I finally figured out how to use this damn website. This time I got my login information all saved on my computer so I wont forget.

I guess I am going to start new and just start from the present. Life in St. John's has certainly changed since I moved into this new place in VP (Virginia Park, one of the "hoods"). I have a great roomie Tammy, which works with me, and we get along great. We have a shit load in common so it's living with each other, plus we have an other roomie named Ang that I am started to wonder about. I just wonder if she has a clue, if not, still loads of fun to make fun of. So I am very happy where I am at right now and it's nice to come home and not hide in my room. Work has changed also, I am now trained for more than one project and soon I will be trained for a third. When late August comes around, I would of been there for a year, that's craziness. Who would of ever though Corey would work in a call center? First of all, my family and friends has a hard enough time understanding me, hahaha... I don't let work stress me at all, it is not worth it and if I get an angry American customer, I just put them on mute and laugh at them because I lost all respect for all American's now, sorry Steve. Plus I made a lot of cool friends at Convergys and most of us have degrees, weird eh?

Other than that, my life has been great because it has been non-stop. Probably one of the main reasons that I got this amazing girlfriend named Tiffany. Just today we spent the morning together and had this great breakfast and then she joined me shopping for my father's day gift and brother's bday gift becuase they are on the same day this year. Then we went to play glow in the dark min-golf and that was loads of fun and I won by 11 I think, hehehe... Last night we even went for a walk around the park and it was beautiful out and on the way back to her place, we had a crazy cat following us. We even made a dash to the door. Other than that we have been keeping busy with a lot of stuff. We went on a few dirves together and did some sight seeing around this area. Topsail Beach and Middle Cove Beach are certainly nice places. We have been downtown many times drinking pints and dancing ofcourse. We have been to a few house parties as well and I guess I am part of the crew now according to our friend Shannon and I now have a hook up for Randy River, SWEETNESS!!!!! Went for a walk in the park with her dog. Basically we hang out when we get the chance to, other than work. I am very happy though, can't stop smiling.

Not much other exciting news in my life at the moment, oh wait, Pearl Jam tickets just came in the mail, WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!!!!! My brother is coming to visit sometine in the next few months and one of my closest friends Karma just told me she is coming down for a weekend also. So many things to look foward to this summer and I still have lots of time to spend with a special someone.

GOT THE LUCKY PENNY!!!
