First Day off the Front Desk..... and I am Covering the Front Desk!!??

Well.. talk about shitty.. I have been in this job for almost 2 years now.. and I finally get a job inside in accounts.. Great.. Fabulous... I love it..




All weekend I have been looking forward to coming to work on Monday.. don't hear that too often!!..But I really really was.. Starting a new job, going into a cubicle is not to fun.. I have a big beautiful office space right now.. but at least I won't have high traffic in my own little cubicle.. and plus I can decorate it.!! :)



So this morning st. john's is stormy and covered in a blanket of snow.. I come in.. and the person who is going into my old job is NOT IN!! Just perfect isn't it?? Now on my very first day on the new job.. I am out here covering the front desk... I seriously could cry!!



As for my weekend.. it was pretty eventful.. Friday night I spent at the Mall, then hanging out with our friends Mike and Nicole.. we went for a boot and then up to Signal Hill to see the sights..hahah.. Saturday was busy.. Miriya's birthday sleepover was that night so I spent the day preparing and the night was of course very colorful.. kids bleeding, crying, puking and having LOTS of fun.. I kept them busy with crafts, decorating a tree, playing games and watching Hairspray....





Yesterday I took Miriya, Crystal and Ashley to see Enchanted... What a wonderful Movie.. I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the night.. And no.. Not just because Patrick Dempsey was the lead... ok.. that was part of the reason.. But it was a great movie.. Disney of course.. lots of laughs and just.. wonderful in general.. I would seriously go see it again tonight if I could!





So far this morning I have put in 5 orders to caterplan for people, checked many boardrooms, directed several people to various locations... I am doing more front desk duties that usual thats for sure! On this stormy Monday morning I would love nothing more than to go home and crawl into bed.. to bad this is not waiting for me....

So... I was shocked to see an segment on the news the other evening about a man who the justice system just seems to be being a little too lenient on. The Gentleman had 18 Impaired driving convictions and still they were thinking of not taking his license away permanently?? I have a close friend who had 2 glasses of wine and drove a short distance, was pulled over.. blew 80mg on the breathalyser and ended up getting put in jail for the night and lost their license for a year!!!This Gem allegedly blew 160-mg!!!



Here is the article



A St. John’s man convicted of his 18th impaired driving charge received a 42-month sentence today in provincial court in St. John’s.Wayne Enos Stokes, 53, pleaded guilty to exceeding the legal blood alcohol level of 80-mg and failing to appear for a court date.He was also handed a lifetime driving prohibition — a first for this province.In November 2006, Stokes was pulled over by police who had received and anonymous tip and blew a breathalyzer reading of 160-mg.Two weeks ago, he failed to show up for his scheduled court appearance.Stokes’ impaired driving convictions date back to 1979. The last one — prior to today’s conviction — was in May 1996, when he was sentenced to three years in jail.Crown prosecutor Donovan Molloy called Stokes’ driving record “horrendous” and said it was “only by the grace of God he didn’t kill someone.”Molloy suggested a four-year jail term, while defence lawyer Kevin Baker asked for a two- to three-year sentence.In handing down his decision, Judge Greg Brown agreed with the Crown’s assessment of Stokes’ record and stressed the danger involved with drunk driving.While the court often shows leniency and understanding in many cases, Brown said, “these considerations have to take a back seat today.”“People have to realize that if they continue to drink and drive, they should expect a significant term in prison



So what do you think about that?? Ridiculous?? Hell yeah!!..



How do you picture this person.. Talk, Dark Handsome? Fat, Scuzzy and bowlegged?? Well-kept Clean cut Socialight??
