Getting my geek on for a second - I like that we’re always finding new things. This is so fascinating to me.

This will be my last post until next year.
(hehehe I love saying that. I’ve been telling everyone that I’ll see them next year etc etc :P)
I had high hopes for 2011 but it wasn’t as crash-hot as I had anticipated. I did however get to cross a few things of my bucket list & experience some pretty awesome things and despite all the bad things that happened I am quite thankful for 2011.
For me, I had my first year of...

Feeling a little blue.
Tonight was my last shift at Kmart until next year and it sounds so ridiculous but it actually makes me sad right now. This is the first time in the three years that I’ve worked there that I’ve had time off - a whole two weeks. I won’t know what to do with myself.

I never got to recap seeing the Foo Fighters in Sydney last week so here it is. We got to the venue not as early as I had hoped so I missed most of Tenacious D and did not get a very good spot for the Foo Fighters either. I was expecting there to be a big push that would take me a little closer to the front (as there usually is when the music begins) but nothing. I went no where. Everyone around...
I've lost the ability to be nice to customers.
Customer: How much is this?
Me: Ten dollars.
Customer: -swipes eftpos card- How much was it?
Me: Ten dollars. -hands customer the receipt-
Customer: How much?
Me: TENNNNNNNNNN
Customer: -looks at name badge then storms off-
Me: I DON'T CARE.
Honestly woman, the price is on the screen, on the eftpos machine and on your damn receipt.
I am just so sick of the inconsideration, the stupidity and those customers who think they are so above you. I come to work, I do the right thing and by the end of my shift I am more miserable then when I started because customers are always giving me a hard time. At this point I just can't get out of it. I'm always so unhappy and I can't help my tongue slip when I'm trying to deal with it.

I can even specifically remember on the first of January being at work and going through the availability book. I never put my name down to be unavailable for before christmas because I honestly thought I would have gotten another job long before then.
And here I am. Nearing a fourth year with my same old job.

What luck!
Today at 5pm my website was due for submission and at this time I had only done like 1/3 of it. Our tutor forgot to put a submission box for late people and everyone that missed the deadline now have until 5pm tomorrow. I am one of those people :D
I feel like someone just punched me in the gut.
I just found out through fb that one of my closest friends totally stole my idea for our assignment due monday. And the fact that it is on facebook makes me even more mad because everyone one else with said assignment will probably see my idea PLUS she is getting all the credit for it.
Her last assignment got flagged for plagiarising which means she got 0 so I kinda feel like she stole my idea...
I miss my Tumblr.
Having no internet sucks but is also a blessing in disguise as I have not procrastinated once for weeks… until now.

I can't wait for this year to be over so I can...
This has been the toughest year of my life. I’ve had my fair share of devastating moments and moving houses twice in one year has left me feeling so unsettled and displaced in every sense possible.
I gave up a lot of the things I used to do for fun. I lost my motivation, my independency and my happiness. I miss my old self.

Today at uni we watched the hefty process this guy goes through to take a picture and the photos are just incredible.
The lighting is perfect. So eerie, dramatic and sometimes disturbing, it adds such depth to the story lines in each photo.

I have been copping abuse from customers all night
& with a job search in another tab, I’m just about ready to call it quits.
First incident: A customer asks me if we stock a certain brand of socks. As soon as I say “unfortunately” she walks away. Here I am, mid-sentence replying to her question and she just walks off cause that’s not rude or anything.
Second incident: Customer asks me where the toilets are and...
