Inventory didn't suck as bad as I had feared. It probably would have gone a lot smoother if I'd been given the correct pre-count list prior to today, but such is life.

And Kelsey officially quit today. Or at least that is the impression I got from the message she posted in the store's group chat before she removed herself from it. Which was honestly one of the smartest things she's done in recent weeks. I don't know if she told Will anything prior to her message, but we were all expecting her to not come back anyway. Especially when the plan had been to start the process of terminating her employment anyway. I wish her the best in all her future endeavors, and I hope that she gets the mental help that she needs in order to properly move on in her life.

I actually ventured out this evening despite how tired I was after several long days of work in the past week. Not to mention being awake at stupid o'clock this morning. Y'see, a couple of years ago before the pandemic closed everything I'd helped friends of my best friend Jenn evict a set of problem tenants - I was mostly an advisor and provided all the necessary info for them to be able to get rid of their tenants, and also advised said tenants of their rights under the current Residential Tenancy Act in place in this province. I didn't play favourites, although I was involved on behalf of the Jenn's friends - I was there for the inspection of the place, took photos of the damages that had not been properly affected by the tenants despite them having been given ample opportunity to get the issues corrected, and provided a written statement for the owners to provide to the government representative operating as the adjudicator. And as a thank you, Jenn's friends said that they were going to take me out for dinner at some point as a thank you due to them winning their case against their tenants. Honestly, I'd thought that the breakfast they'd treated us to after they won the hearing was more than good enough, but anyhow! I enjoyed seeing them again - both of them are awesome people and I love their senses of humour as it very much matches mine. I'm very thankful to Jenn for having introduced us all :)

But now I'm absolutely exhausted and ready to fall on my nose. I do work again in the morning, but I don't have to be at work until 8am. I tell you, 6am damn near broke me this morning. It didn't help that the person scheduled to start at 7am missed the first two buses of the day and ended up not getting in until 8am...the time inventory was supposed to start. Oh joy. I'm still not entirely impressed at how that all went this morning, but at least it's over with for now. I just know not to schedule him for the next inventory day...if he's still even working with us in eight weeks' time. I suppose we'll have to see how that all shakes out in the end.

In the meantime, I'm going to crawl into bed before I pass out at my computer. *yawn*

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
