Wasting Time, work

The smallest things, make me giddy

Holy hannah, the world cannot get any smaller can it? Us Newfies are everywhere!

I work at a small two branch Credit Union (as a Graphic Designer & Marketing Assistant) that has about 40 employees, none of which are in my age category unfortunately. Back on topic. Naturally small Credit Unions do not have in house solutions to compliance and fraud detection, so of course they out source. The Finance Dept. Manager came over to my office this afternoon and presented a printed envelope with a name/company and address.  She jokingly pointed out Newfoundland Dr. on the envelope and said “As if they couldn’t think of a better name for this huh?“

(The next part really points out my ditzy personality.)

I smiled and said  “Oooh that’s neat. We actually have a Newfoundland Drive back home too!” Then my eyes wandered up at the company and I clued in that I’ve heard that company name before. I was thinking and thought that hmm, bet this isn’t in Ontario! Then my eyes scrolled down to the city and province. DUH — It was indeed,  St. John’s Newfoundland!  So I got all kiddy and smiley and said to the Finance Manager that “I totally know someone who works at that company!” She asked for his name, and when I told her she didn’t know who he was. We then went to another one of our co–workers who speaks to people regularly, at this company asking if he was a hottie and what not (haha!). I told the story about how he’s an Engineer and my BFF is one, and used to go to Engineering parties all the time when I was in school. It’s sort of how I met my boyfriend. I was friends with his best friend  (the guy who works at this company) for a while, and then met my boyfriend through him!

Needless to say I was pretty excited that we did business with this company. The the envelope addressed to the Administrative Assistant, (I have no idea how big this company is but I’m assuming it’s not absolutely ginourmous because I know what the outside of it looks like) so I wrote a little “hello” note to my friend! Hopefully the admin. assistant knows my buddy and will pass my “hello, from nancy ***!” note on to him.

Tee hee!

“Hit me with your best shot!”

So I’ve been taking everyone’s photos at work, for a little project my boss has me doing (this is what I thought of taking everyone’s photos. Not a fun job!). I didn’t want anyone taking photos of ME since I don’t like posing for other people but my self–timer. So I took some shots. The first set is me, au natural. The second set I feel like I’m trying too hard with makeup and scraggly hair. It looks so gross. But for the meantime, the first photo in the second set is what i have picked for my staff photo.

(Click to enlarge, by the way)

I personally like the far right, on the first set. What do you liiiiiiiiiiiike? Help a girl out yo!

Design, Photos, Soccer, Wasting Time

Mundane Sunday

I don’t normally post some of my “work” up here on my public website. But I thought I’d show you  a little something I did last night. Yea, on a Saturday night. How fun are we?  (While BF was napping, for a longgg time hehe). Though it’s not really work. Just wasting time around in Photoshop, for an estimated five minutes, tops. My white shirt in the edited photo looks like I’m wearing some satin/silky top. Fail. Eventually we watched a movie I’ve never heard of Lucky number SLeven. We rented a blue ray last night courtesy of Rogers Video … BF got a free movie rental for being such a “great rogers customer” or some crap like that. Anyway, regardless of Rotten Tomatoes giving it a mere 51%, it actually wasn’t a bad movie. Unlike other movies, when we watch it on BF’s projector and amazing comfy couch, I usually fall asleep within fifteen minutes tops. I assume it’s because it’s a lot more cozier than sitting in the seats at the theater. I didn’t even nap yesterday! Weekends are for napping. Shame on me.

Hmm.

Soccer is canceled tonight, we found this out on Thursday (even though it’s written on our schedule, I guess nobody really reviews the schedule until last minute then realizes we don’t have a game, so we all send out a mass e–mail telling our players lol). I’m assuming it’s because of the gotdang Superbowl, that nobody up here really even cares about. But, do what ya gotta do I suppose. Hopefully we’ll be able to make up for it after all of our other games have been played. Signing up for outdoor this week. It’ll be a huge change as I’m use to now playing twice a week, where as in outdoor it’s only 1 game per week, and rarely I go to practice because I feel like we don’t do much there whatsoever. I’m going to get an ass whooping for sure (as is everyone I assume) getting out on the grass for the first time in April/May (whenever the season starts). The length of the field will be soooo huge, and the nets… oh gosh, the goals we’ll all think we’ll get, because of the size of the net! haha!

I feel like going to the mall today to spend my $50 generic gift certificate for the whole entire mall. I have no idea what I want to buy, but I want to spend it wisely and get as much as I can, out of the fifty bucks. Oh what fun. I need socks.

All in all, this weekend was pretty restfull for me, considering… (let’s not get into details, shall we). So? What did you all do this weekend?
