It's that time of the year

Yes, Christmas is fast approaching. Haven't done my Christmas shopping yet. Except for my dogs. Hah.. they're easy to shop for though. I'm trying to get a Santa suit for Buddy but I haven't had the time. Got a small something for everyone already but my presents aren't complete yet. I can't stand giving people small presents, no matter how expensive they are. I'm really strange that way.

However, I've just paid $107 for new ink cartridges for my printer. My old ones dried up cos I hadn't used it all year. $107 down the drain. Mum says she'll pay me back for it though cos she wants me to print out her store advice for her on my printer. Hmmph. She gave me half the day off today. Right after three deliveries with 12 boxes each came in. She said,"We can't go home until you finish receiving all of that" and Liz burst out laughing at the incredulous look I had on my face. All I could say was,"I don't think I'll be going home for the next couple of days" and my mum smiled. Yes, very nice of her but no, she did let me leave with her early. Cos we had to go to buy books from other places discreetly. Can't escape the world of books

For example, Paul Michaels, the new Dymocks Liason Manager came in one day and started talking to me about what I was doing next year. We mentioned jobs and he took the opportunity to ask me whether I'll be working and I said yes. All of a sudden there was, "Do you wanna continue working for Dymocks? Cos the guy who manages the Victorian Dymocks is a good friend of mine so I can easily get you a job there if you want" and he smiles at here. And here I am thinking that I SO BADLY wanted to get away from Dymocks and try and get a job on my own without anyone's help. But then again, jobs aren't easy to find so mum said to take the job offer until I've got time to look for another one. *sigh* Dymocks, here I come..again.

I've got a lot on my mind, but I think I'll save it for later tonight. IF i come back online of course. Btw, looks like my comments are fully stuffed up. Need to do something to fix it. But i dunno how. Hah.. Steph... I need you...
