Worst NEWS EVER to get before Christmas

Got some news today that it absolutley sucks to get before Christmas I bet you can guess what it is from the subject heading of the entry.I had a meeting with my manager today and she basically said I am getting laid off after January 4th. One more day this week. Two days next week mostly likely one or two days the week after New Years and then I am done. When they originally hired me in September I clearly remember them telling me that they were going to keep on beyond the holiday period. Apparently the overhired can now only keep a certain amount of people after the holidays. Despite how hard I have been work they are one of the first seasonal workers that they are cutting for the payroll. I am SO pissed off. It took me so long to get this fucking job and now I'm back to the seaech process again. This absolutley sucks. So much for visiting Rae in March at this point it doesn't look like that's going to happen anymore. I am praying that it won't take me as long it did the first time around to find a job and that Matt will find a job soon soon. That way we willl both have mooney to do things we want to do together INCLUDING GOING TO VIST RAE!Gonna go now and do something to distract myself. Perhaps work on the Little Shop of Horrors fan fiction I am writing.Merry Christmas Everyone!

Random thought before I go to work

I am honestly stil left in a lurch over the whole situation with what happened between me and Will Porter after we left the Barn Playhouse. That whole situation was a learning experience for me and taught me a lot about my own maturity. However, I often think my worry was onesided because while I forgave myself for the way I acted I am all the more curious if he ever forgave me for the juvenile way I acted toward him. I mean I'm sure he's forgotten about all that and I don't know why the ocassional thought seems to linger on me. I guess when it comes down to what I want to know even if it's sublimiarly is weather or not the way I acted toward him will affect my friendship with him in the long run. I'm sure down the line at some point we'll run into each other again and I guess I'm still sligjtly worried that things could be awkward between us. Is that a legitimate fear to have or should I just forget about it all together and see what happens?

Even two years after the fact there are still a lot of unanswered questions and it kind of drives me insane.

The 11 days til Xmas Update

So the past couple of weeks have been really hectic and there are only 11 days left until Christnmas. Work has been keeping my busy and seemingly focussed that I seem to have forgotten I was ever stressed out at work to begin with.I sent in my writing samples and resume to Nancy Barry to apply for a publcity job at Summer Theatre in Meredith Village for the summer. If all goes well with that I will stay at Target til the end of May and then go to work for Nancy starting at the beginning of June. *crosses fingers* I have yet to hear back from her about weather or not she recieved my writing samples.What else has been going on? Let's see November 28th I went to the Christmas stroll in Nashua with Matt and Sonya. That was fun. We went out for Ice Cream and saw and improv show @ Peacock Players. The plans for the party at NEC fell through on the 5th so we instead went to the Milford Holiday Stroll which I must admit was not as fun as the Nashua Holiday Stoll. Thursday I had the day off from work so I went up to Matt's house in Kennebunk for the night. We went out to dinner and went to see New Moon. New Mooon is not really as exciting as it hyped up to be in the advertisement. I'm not saying I was bored.. I enjoyed the movie but I thought that Twilight was a lot better. Friday moring I helped decorate Matt's house and we went to get the tree.. we headed back to my house around 5 because Sonya suprised us with treating us to see Judy's Scary Little Chrstmas in Nashua. The play was hillarious. I have never laughed so hard ever. For a review please go to my theatre review on Blogspot. Saturday night my mom had her friends over for dinner and it was great to see them again. Yesterday I went to Boston for my annual family Christmas party which was fun! It's always great to see my extended family on my mom's side. Busy work week ahead! It will fly by I am sure and then next Friday is Christmas! Honestly I don't know where half the year has gone.

Christmas is coming Christmas is coming

It is finally my favorite time of year.. the time for carols and eggnog (which I never drink) and hot cider and cookies and laughter and joy and LOVE.... CHRISTMAS!

Since my last update I have been mostly consumed by work between Target and writing not one but TWO Milford Cabinet articles.. money in the bank! I was very happy that I got all my shopping done before Black Friday though as I started to do my wrapping this morning I noticed that one of the clothing items I brought had a run in it and I need to return it BUT I lost the receipt somehow so I hope the store will still be able to take it back.

Thanksgiving was deloverly! We had a bit of an issue with getting out of the house on time but were still able to catch the final 20 minutes of cousin Cameron's last football game of his high school career. Unfourtnately they were defeated 20-6. We then went to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving dinner stopping at my grandfather's house for appetizers right after the game which is five minutes down the road from my aunt's house. Biggest crowd ever this year at my aunt's house 30 people! Pretty crazy definitley a lot of fun. :) I worked at Target on Black Friday.. not so much fun! I was so stressed out the whole day for various reasons and I was happy to have a much less stressful shift respetively on Sunday and Tuesday. Saturday night I went to the Christmas Stroll in Nashua with Matt and we met up with Sonya. We went out for Ice Cream and then went to Peacock Players to see an improv show which was hillarious.

Next weekend is the busiest weekend ever Matt and I are planning on going two plays (though that might end up getting cut down to one because of budget) and next Sunday is my family Christmas party in Wakefield Mass I am so excited. :)

One thing which is currently causing my considerable stress is what else but money? Matt and I are hoping to go visit my friend Rae in New Jersey during her spring break at the beginning of March and take her to a Broadway show as part as a belated 21st birthday present (her birthday was Sept 24th) but money may be an obstacle. I don't know at this time what the total will come to but at least we won't have to pay for a hotel because Rae and her parents invited us to stay with them. I am so excited about staying at Rae's house! :) We're considering driving down to NJ which will also save us some money but I think it would be easier if we either took the train or the Peter Pan bus. I have gotten pretty good deals for the Peter Pan bus for the last two trips for New York I have gone on. Then there is whole issue with paying for the play tickets and going out to eat after the show. The theatre district has some pretty expensive resturants in in from previous research I have done trying to plan reunions with my Barn Playhouse friends who live in the city. Play tickets can be pretty expensive too but I am hoping we can get some kind of discount on the tickets. My parents think I am being unrealistic by wanting to go but I disagree. I understand fully that I have to consider paying back my loans from NEC which I am not exactly looking forward to doing but it has to be done. I think I can find enough of a balance between the money I need to use to pay my loans back and the money I plan on using for the trip which really won't amount to much in the end if we end of driving down and since we are staying @ Rae's house. Hopefully everything will end up working out because I haven't seen Rae in such a long time and I am looking so forward to seeing her again. :)
