skipped work yesterday because i simply did not feel like slogging for the day especially not when i got back to the apartment at 12am the day before. so here goes the story of the girl who skipped work:

my schedule for monday was supposed to be 8am-6pm. i planned to wake at 8am to call Skyride refreshments (which is where i work) to inform the supervisor that i was having cramps and thus wont be able to turn up for work. unfortunately, i only got outta bed at 830am( late as usual sigh) and tried calling my workplace extension number.

unfortunately again, the call could not connect and i had no choice but to call the foods main office. sigh. i was transferred to talk to this absolutely horrible lady manager or something, shall not mention her name here but shes definitely not well-liked at all haha. anyway, she told me that i would get double the demerit points if i din turn up for work because it was a public holiday (memorial day for the americans) and simply wouldn't listen to my explanation that i was too sick to get my butt to work. horrid isnt she. she is.

of course i din want all that points. what for! so yea i went to work an hour late, at 9am and she promised to send me back home so that i wont get points. thats not the end of the story yet, my supervisor kept me working for an hour and din want to sign me in (or out) after that and just wanted me to go back like that. of cos i wasn't going to agree to work for an hour and not get paid cos that is totally ridiculous...i know it's not good work behaviour but i blatantly gave him the black face and argued my way through to get my USD$6.25 for that hour of work. yea i got it in the end, but not because he relented. it was only because this cute spanish guy stood up for me that;s how i got paid on the day i skipped work. well, thanks sean.

spent the rest of the morning with sheryl and isaac at the beach, got a slight tan but not tan enough. haha, isaac was totally down on his luck, he went wading in lake eerie (which is the sea the beach is attached to) and found out that there were hoardes of dead fish floating in there. haha!!! i'm getting the photos from him soon!

we walked back to the theme park and ate this marvellous pastry thingy called "elephant ears"!! it's really something like crispy prata covered with cinnamon sugar except that it is HUGE! gosh i love that stuff! and yea wehad cotton candy which was on ly 25cents..how cheap is that.

sheryl left for work shortly so isaac and i caught x-men 3 at the cinema near the sandusky mall. we managed to get a burger lunch at Wendy's before the show started. the show was alright i guess, although it clearly showed that isaac was and still is a x-men fan. haha. we had dinner at this diner called Steak n Shake after the movie. the burger was great....i had a philly steakburger which really is a double steakburger covered with good-tasting stuff and he had a mushroom onions double steakburger. but the highlight of the dinner was really the milkshakes we had. it was really really good!!

beat this: i had a cheesecake-dark chocolate split milkshake and he had a chocolate chip cookie dough milkshake! it even sounds awesome la...wait till u all see the photos we took! couldnt even finish the milkshake and we brought it back to enjoyyyyyyyyyyy! haha, that is the work "enjoyyyyyyyyyyy"

finished my first tub of ben and jerry's ice cream last week. i had a dublin mudslide and yummilicious cant even describe how i liked it. haha. couldnt resist getting another tub when i dropped by wal-mart last night, so yea, there's a fossil fuel sitting in the freezer now. haha. sinful sinful!

so accident prone, the current list of accidents and injuries are as follows:

-cuts on both feet because of slipper straps
-huge bruise on inner arm, i dont even know where i got this
-skin peeling and cracking on the fingers of both hands
-bleeding grazed skin on both knees (knees again!!!) because i tripped and fell in the carpark last night because i was too sleeping and didnt see properly
-slight burn on arm because of hot oil from cooking french fries

haha so clumsy.

anywy i miss all u guys and girls back home alot!
