Polka-Dots are so HOT right now!!

Ahh i'm freaking out at the moment i have like 3 assignments to do and one re-submission!!
I was so guttered i spent like forever on my essay and now i have to re-submit because it wasn't good enough!! Oh well at least i have the chance to resubmit! I am now waiting in the computer lab at tech trying to kill time before i meet up with a tutor to go over my essay and give me some tips of how NOT to fail again hopefully. All my flatmates have now almost finished there exams and will slowly be disppearing from the flat untill eventually on me and hani will be left.
On monday night i went to see The Breakup, with a friend from collage with her b/f and his flatmate. It was an okay movie though not something i would want to see again. It was quite depressing in some parts and quite funny in others didn't have an expected ending tho which was weird. Then on wednesday night for the first time ever our flat went out for desert with no significant others!! We went to bean scene it was fantastic i had the creme brulee!! mmmm yummy! Yesterday i went shopping coz i got my final pay back from countdown, well i also went shopping on tuesday ahh the dangers of loose change. I brought this really beautiful jewellery box from farmers it is pink and white and has little roses painted on it, i really needed one as my jewellery collection is getting rather large and i am misplacing alot of it. However i did think i could give it as a 21st present though i like it too much myself and i don't really think its my friends style. I also brought this really cool shirt yesterday incase some of you haven't noticed i am going through a polka-dot phase!! Polka-Dots are soo hot right now!! The shirt is red with white polka-dots and looks really cool with my black skinny leg jeans, black top underneath, black belts, black shoes, black beads and my new white headband!! Oh yeah and i had my first day at farmers on saturday that went okay though there weren't as many cute kids as i thought there would be. Mostly just mums and grandmas shopping though there was this really cute little chinese girl that asked me "what would happen if we didn't put it in a bag?" and i was like the security man might run after you!! and then she was like "someone might think that we stold it". Ohh it was so cute you had to be there i guess. I carn't wait for my holidays i'm hopfully going to chch for my best friends obi's 21st (if i can get work off) and my other friend rachel's 21st no not rachael brown, rachel white (confusing i know i have alot of friends called rachel). And then i get to see obi's new house and stay with her for a week and hopfully lots of shopping and catching up with people. Okay well this blog seems to be all over the place today that is how my mind is at the moment! ooo insight into esther's mind scarey lol and since i carn't think of much else to say except keep those comments rolling i think i'll sign off chao

Goodbye Countdown, Hello Farmers

Yeah thats rights this week was my last week at Countdown!! For those of you who don't know I have been a checkout operator and supervisor at Countdown Mailer St in Mornington for just over 4 years!! FOUR YEARS thats a long time to put up with saying Hi how are you today?, Had a good day? Busy Week, Is that all right in the same bag? Would you like your meat separate? Would you like cash out? Thanks, Bye and thats on a good day. I have had some fun times like the time when a customer left a bottle of bleech on the counter to go away to get her wallet which she had left a home, and i accidently knocked it off the counter and broke the lid making the whole supermarket smell like a pool!! And the time when a drunk customer was short by 5 cents to purchase his beer and tried to hug me and kiss me on the cheek.
I'm going to miss everyone there especially my faithful saturday night operators who love trying to make me laugh when i do the closing 9:45, 9:50, 9:55 and 9:00 calls, (stacey and john thanks guys). And of course i will miss my lovely green uniform which matches my eyes so well!! But hey i believe i have been called to better and bigger places with Farmers, I will be working in the Childrens toy and clothing department on saturdays and i get a %10 dicount instead of the measly %2.5 i got at countdown. This is such an answer to prayer I thank god so much just when i was getting fed up with my old job and having to spend money on taxi and bus fares he came through for me!! WOW never underestimate the power of prayer.
And for those of you that read my blog and don't even bother to comment shame on you! Hey i know i'm bad too but if people left more comments on here then maybe i would too!! (Hint Hint, Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink)
