All in One Day

It's Tuesday.

I woke up quite late again, about 8pm and did my morning 'rolling and cuddling' in bed before getting up. I has been lazy these few days, or maybe it has been few weeks? I don't know.

We just did white water rafting on Sunday and it was absolutely fun, I really want to go again, perhaps on stronger current? Anyway, I'm going for skydiving this Saturday and kayaking this Sunday. Skydiving is thrilling and kayaking will be fun for sure. There will also be Festival Indonesia this weekend, which my housemate wants to go to if we finish kayaking early.

I have put my leave application for this Saturday since almost two months ago and it hasn't been approved. It's partly my fault and partly my manager's fault for that. It's my fault for not checking whether my leave has been approved or not. Last time I put my application, I just mention my leave to my manager and he just said yes and asked me to fill up a form, in which I left near the printing machine. It's partly my manager's fault because he didn't say anything about it to me, but he said no to my second in charge. I think he thought that the second in charge will tell me about it, which he didn't, of course. So it's just messing up with out own 'assumptions'.

When I found out that my leave was rejected, I was quite surprised and freaked out as it was 2 weeks before the skydive. I already planned to take sick leave the whole weekend, which occupied a lot of my time. Suddenly my manager called me this afternoon and said that he's trying his best to give me a day off on Saturday. Well, I have been helping him quite a lot, like coming for extra shifts when someone's taking sick leave and staying back for few hours many times. Maybe that's why I was quite pissed when he did not approve my leave. He'll let me know how it goes by tonight, I hope he'll get someone to replace me this Saturday so I don't have to lie about being sick.

That's one weight off me.

When we did rafting, I was the one who made the booking and arranging the car rental. It was quote hard since not everybody is using Facebook regularly and I didn't foresee that. That resulted in few miscommunications and some information did not reach some people. And I was thinking about the skydive and tests as well, so it was a no wonder if I was full of emotion last week. But I still felt really bad being all nasty like that, even I think I was so harsh when making jokes.

Anyway, I learnt a lot of things from that. I called up the car rental company to make sure no extra deductions were made to me. Luckily I paid for insurance and some new scratches that I was not aware of were covered by the insurance. Then I asked my friends who paid for petrol. I just did all calculations for all payments that should go to me, it was good that two of my friends were so quick in responding and they quickly letting me know about deductions from other costs and transferred me the rest of money they owed me. Yeah, I made it easy, all money owed goes to me, I worked out deductions and stuff so people just need to transfer to one person.

That's rafting thingy done, moving to skydive.
I reconfirmed about the booking, what time we need to arrive, and check if we're getting any photos taken by them or not. Then I quickly inform my friends. I haven't arrange how we will meet up yet, I need to do the research tonight I guess. I also need to forward the booking details.

That's not bad at all, eh?
Moving to good news, suddenly the head office called me up and said that I can transfer store to Chadstone, which is close by. I need to walk to station (8 minutes), take the train (10-15 minutes), then take bus (10 minutes). Let's just say that it will take about 30 minutes to get there compared to more than an hour to get to the store I'm working at the moment. I will go to see the assistant store manager tomorrow to discuss my shift, no need for complicated interview as I am fully qualified in bakery department. They want me to work on Sundays, I really hope they can give me a Saturday off since my friends are working and I can only go out with them on weekends most of the time.

There are still many things happened, maybe I'll just make another post as this one's already pretty long? Nah, I'll continue!

I accompanied my friend to see a lecturer who deals with French study abroad. She wants to take summer in French so she can graduate early next year. Fortunately she can! And guess what, even though I will have finished my degree, I can go as well! That's a big 'WOW' from just a question coming out of curiosity. I think I'll ask my parents tonight on what they think of it. Perhaps I can spend another Birthday and New Year in France again?

Would be such a delight! Many good things happened and many tasks completed, All in One Day.
