the whole point of showing this email
is that only 9 people turned up on the day
and we were forced to pay for the remaining people who didnt come to paintball
and no you couldnt just forfeit the deposit,
what you had to do was forfeit the deposit plus pay for 15 players
so it was like might as well play paintball
and pay DOUBLE
because of the stupidity of a guy who failed to read the confirmation letter
what a fuck of a cunt
and thats who im blaming
because i cant blame the paintball place
because they clearly stated the terms and conditions in the email
with "full" in CAPITAL letters!
im prob not as angry as i was a few nights ago
i just want to warn everyone
to read the terms and conditions before booking
or confirming something
(if you are the orgainiser, because of course you should know better)
at least make sure who is and isnt coming !

so because of this incident
i paid in total 145 bucks for paintball
when it was suppose to be 75 bucks
(not including the deposit i had to pay back to the organiser)
and now i feel broke.
and i think its understandable for me to be annoyed
because im unemployed
so sorry for the whining

but overall i enjoyed paintball
and couldnt stop laughing when i was in the battlefield for some reason
though it was hard to breathe the more i laughed
i felt like i was going to die
i have a few bruises to show off in the end
which i feel proud of
because it shows i was "active" in the field,
which i rarely am
the morning after paintball
my thighs were aching so that was telling me how unfit i am
because we didnt really do a lot of running
and today (late late monday night or tues morning) my thighs still ache
it was worse on the weekend when i had to walk down stairs
or bend my knees to sit down
i swear i looked like a cripple

accounts

i suddenly had time one day
and decided to finally make a flickr account
since ive been telling myself to make an account
for i dont know, over two years now?

so when i clicked on "create your account"
i found out that you need a yahoo account to join!
becaue some tme over the two years, yahoo bought flickr. ARGH!
angry as i was, i decided to search up other
photo sharing sites that i can join instead of flickr
(anything to avoid making a new email address with yahoo)
but after shopping for a site
i dont like any of them
there are good ones and there are bad ones
but none of them are considered a favourite
not like flickr, it has this more mature and clean feel to it
pretty much its the best interface compared to the other sites
when it comes down to it
and the way the folders are organised.

so after trying to find something i like,
i went back to flickr instead
and tried to make a yahoo account
and so i tried all these emails
but they were all taken.
i even had ridiculous sentences like
"ihateyahoo@yahoo.com"
and it didnt work.
i tried this for at least 3 hours
until finally the yahoo site is "unavailable" on my comp
so annoying.
i dont know if i should attempt making an email again
but i really want that flickr account
it would be so handy to have my photos in one spot
where i can access anywhere that has the internet
so at least ill know that when johnny needs to reformat the comp
and accidentally deletes my photos..
ill always have a copy on the net.

WORK WORK WORK

the boss rang me today because he was upset i didnt work todays shift
and because im not going to be working for the rest of this week
and i replaced last weeks shifts because i wanted to take time off to do some work

he then went onto how i "let" him down
during the christmas period
when i went overseas giving him a short notice
(but it was all of a sudden so i COULDNT give him an advance notice
though i did tell him i might be going overseas a fortnight before i left)
and here he goes.. you know i get a huge amount of resumes
and its really hard to find a job nowadays because of the recession
and im happy to employ someone who can commit to there shifts
youre a good worker when youre here
but youre always taking time off
and you dont even have the decency to tell me
(not like his around when im working)
so are you serious about this job?

here i am just woken up by his phone call
not knowing what to say
kim: i dunno works just work to me
kyle (boss): (his really trying to scare me now but its not working)
kyle: i understand you have to study but theres plenty of time for that
during the holidays i want you to work at least an extra shift or two
now when you were in school i gave you 3 shifts like you asked for
kim: 2!!!
kyle: what?
kim: 2, i asked for 2 shifts a week
kyle: ok 2 then. but during the holidays i want my other employees to take up a few shifts to give the fulltimers a break
kyle: and because you couldnt work today, which you didnt even put in the diary, michelle had to come in and work and this is the time when i want my fulltimers to take a break, not pull 6 shifts a week because YOU couldnt work
kim: (silence..) ok..
kyle: well what do you have to say for yourself? how much do you need this job?
kim: (sif ask me that) i dunno. not really? i do get youth allowance
kyle: you get youth allowance do you. well i really want you to consider your position here so i can decide if i should be looking for people.
kim: ok then.. (rightttttttttttttt)
kyle: its not just you im calling there are others too
kim: ok.. (think of something he wants to hear) err sorry?
kyle: ok i just want you to think about it
kim: k bye
kyle: bye

AS IF TRY AND MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY !
because i dont. if i didnt have work maybe ill have a better social life !
and bringing up stuff from the past ?? LIKE SERIOUSLY!
that was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo four months ago! LET IT GO
(replaying in my head.. kyle: kim you let me down during christmas LOL LOL LOL)
and i was just thinking of calling him back and going
"kyle dont worry about rostering me on anymore because i DONT need this job"
but i guess i wouldnt be able to live without that extra money to save up for overseas
but then again maybe i can find another job?
but THAT would require me to go look for a job!
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
but i know i can purely live on youth allowance
and so now here i am contemplating what i should do.

btw i do feel bad thinking that some fulltimer is pulling 6 shifts a week..
but if they were going to be going away they should have planned it before
and wrote it in the diary.
or better yet JUST let kyle work it
since i havent seen him do a close shift before since last year!
PLUS ! there are 6 other casuals who arent going away on the weekend im also going away!
and its only ONE shift that im not replacing!
usually if im not working i replace the shifts myself!
so its not like its an EXTRA effort for him to replace a shift

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(runs around the house frustrated)

epping

my family and i went to epping last night
and usually we would split into two groups
the adults, and the kids..

now when we go shopping i tend to buy one piece of item for each kid.
this is normally either clothes or something school related
but since my dad had been paid his bonus from the government
i thought.. you know what? instead of paying for it this time im going to ask him for money
[because i always pay for things and my dad doesnt even offer, like that time when we were at the supermarkets and in line and then he disappeared and i ended up paying for the groceries! argh. usually ill prob give him a 20 or 50, (whatever i have in cash normally)]
so i asked for 50 bucks and his like
"NO! you cant buy clothes! he doesnt do anything around the house!
dont buy him clothes! his just going to wear it and leave it there!"
but somehow i budged him to give us a 50 dollar note
but it was only allowed to be spent on "food"

so since splitting my dad somehow found us and then started following us
THIS WAS THE MOST ANNOYING THING OF ALL
everything i touch was like
"kim you dont need that"
"put that back ill take you somewhere cheaper"
"kim you should wear this" (and shows me some ugly shirt)
"shes got too many pjs"
"he doesnt need anymore clothes"
"remember, only buy food"
"you want a new phone? take mine ill use my old one"
"this isnt durable, itll wreck after one wash"
"you already have this at home"
"its going o get lint balls on them"
SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH SIGH

so yeh in the end we bought tommy and jenny a hoody each at target
and i made him pay for it since he followed us
tommy hates it when he comments
and when he does tommy looks at me like "kim say something back i really want this " look lol
and when he says it to jenny, jennys like "but kim let me"
sigh i might be too generous to my siblings

centrelink forms

i hate filling out centrelink forms for my dad.
especially when he gives it to me and expects me to do it straight away
he just stands there with a pen and goes "do it now! i need it now"
when the bloody form is due in a week.. plenty of time!
and then he says all this while im either doing homework, reading or watching tv
he doesnt even have the courtesy to wait for a commercial break!

he would never just hand me the form and tell me to do it before a certain time frame
which makes me really agitated because i dont like doing things straight away
i like doing things in my own time
(im doing a favour for him hence he should be waiting for me to do it when i please!!!)
and i get grumpy and i snap back at him
and i hate it even more when im watching tv and he tells me to do this
and then he sits at the end of my bed
and watches tv too
and waits for me to do it
(when this happens i would usually turn the tv off and pretend to sleep, anything for him to get out)

and what makes me more frustrated is that
he always tells me to do it and noone else
like johnny or tommy ITS ALWAYS FUCKING ME !
during the holidays when i went to vietnam
he had the forms photocopied and i filled them out
so while i was away he could just copy and fill them out himself
and then when i came back he STILL made me fill out his fucking forms
how hard is it to fucking copy forms !
if he needs it so urgently he should just do it himself !
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

other than that today when i was logging his income report to centrelink over the net
he sat there asking me if he got paid his 950 + 900 yet
dad: kim check if i got paid yet
kim: well you got the letter so of course you got paid
dad: well check for me cos im not sure
kim: why cant you just check your bank account
dad: money comes in and out all the time i cant keep track
kim: then youll just have to wait til your statement comes out, its not my fault you dunno if you did or didnt get paid or not
dad: the statement doesnt come out til ages
kim: well too bad, the site just shows your last payment and next payment
i dunno what you got paid last month
dad: why do you always make me so "upset" <-- in eng
kim: its because you always frustrate me! i said ill do it and you just sit there and wait. i said ill do it later gee!

no offence but its not my fault if my dad does not notice 1850 bucks being credited into his bank account.
seriously how stupid can you be?
