g2g lol shut-down ttyl mikki
Xavier at 11:47 PM Im sorry i havent bloogged in a while, i was supposed to tell you how my new school is going, and how my job and stuff is going
so i think ill go to sleep now and tell you later!
Im just messing with ya, ill give ua brief, its very late!!
School is great, its unbelievablie better then wollondilly grangilcaan, which i actually thought i was stuff there forever. Mum had told me that she wanted me to move schools, and i had to weigh the pro's and con's of staying or leaving, even though i had no choice in the matter, i still picked WAC, my friends were their, and im not the person who tries new things often, so it was actually quite a suprise, to find out that im loving it their, im making new friends, boys and GIRLS, and everyone is nicer then you would think, what i love is that there is a 'clique' if you would like to call it, that has smart people in it, that are actually COOL, and known around the school!
That was a bonus, one of the main things i was looking for in a bigger school! Ive started my new school in ALL of the top classes, i think that they made made a mmistake, i reckon i would of exceled better in a 2nd class. But its their choice, and i tihnk i will do alright. Im learning lots with a few great teachers, all though there are always some teachers who are constant grumps which you cant avoid.
Work is going well aswell, im excelling in that area aswell, i had opened a new bank account and all the money that i had earnt has been transferred into that account. Now i have a card, which i can use to withdraw money at ATM's and stuff like that, its awesome! but the only problem would be that i had worked a few hours before the new account, with money i may never see again wasted.
On a lighter side im really enjoying it, and ive finally got the hang of it. It always suprises me how well i can do there. It also fits very nicely around my schedule, giving me room for tennis, and school while it starts at 4:30pm on weekdays and its very ideal, really.
Notihng much else to report except the watching of the 4th season? Of LOST!!! which was very interesting, i still want to watch BSG, but i can never seem to find the time to, thats something a little harder to plan. but anyway, i shall post back soon.

Xavier at 3:28 AM Well guess what, i started my New School, First Day, New Kids, New friends to make.
The usual you would guess for a first day of a new school, named picton high.
Its a pretty alright school i suppose there is barely anything bad about it, the people there are great and i havent seen any troubles yet.
Well i fell asleep writing this, that must show something about how tired i am, I think i will have to post another one with the detaisl aye. Good luck all

Knock, Knock, Knock.
I woke for a start, startled at mums screaming through the door.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
I looked at my iPhone. 6:45, Great, i think thats the earliest i have woken up in the entire Holidays. As i sat up in bed, my sister decided to scream at me, shouting for me to wake up, but as she looked around the corner, to see me sitting up, her mouth closed. I looked blankly at her, i know i looked stoned to her. I wasnt, i promise, but i somehow manage to pull that type of face, with ease, sometimes to easily...
I Grabbed my towel and headed toward the shower, after that i got dressed and reaady, the usual i do every morning. Snapped my sun nies on and walked towards the car. When i saw another car, a green Subaru Forester coming up the drive. This must be the nurse, sent by the hospital to look after my Dad. We dont know what he had, well i dont know, yet.
I invited her in and showed he the way to my sleeping father. Then walked down to the office, waiting for my mum to give me a lift to Macarthur Square.
I hopped in the car, and turned the radio on. WE have this gadget thing so music gets played from my phone onto a radio wave. And i force fed my Mother and my Sister to listen to some good music. Like Bullet for my Valentine, and Nonpoint. As we fast approached the Shopping mall, i made a list of things i need for my New school.
Yes thats right, New school, Picton High, wasnt happy with the old one, Waccy nutters there. So im starting a new. Pencil Case, Bag, blah blah blah. Mum came shopping with me, i ended up oweing a lot of money to her, for getting all the 'Expensive' stuff. But tis so worth it.
Mum left me alone for the rest of the day, with her BarterCard, to pay for a NEW Haircut, and all. Want to know what was gloing through my head. No you dont.
I wandered around the mall aimlessly, waiting for 15 minutes until the appointment was scheduled. Argh, i need a drink, i got a Boost, i got bored of that, 10 minutes left. Time is slow when you need it to speed up.
I got in at 1:15 like the good boy i am. And i told them what i wanted, White Streaks, and a trim. I hope this looks good. As you may see by my DP, it does look good. Well actualy i want to hear your opinion, put it in my shoutBox.
The whole hair appointment was over by 4, and i started at 1:15. Not long at all. Jeez, i was bored most of that anyway, and streaks hurt by the way. The poke holes all through your head to get all the hair. Very annoying. Sort of Painful.
I went to the train station to check which time the next train was supposed to leave. Half an hour away. Great 30 more minutes of mmy time that i had to pass up. I sat down, trying to think of things i could do instead. Bingo, Mikala asked me to look for clear lip stud things. Maybe i can do that... FAIL! No-where to be found, oh well. I tried.
I walkled back to the train station, wasted 15 minutes. Got on the Train. Got to Tahmoor. Got a lift back Home. Changed my shirt and hopped on my bike.
Im saving you the details of the boring parts i went through, I rode to mikala;s place which was about 30mins ride. And we watching BSG, while eating KFC, and I was skulling the Solo. It was great, until the darkness hit. I wasnt allowed out until past Dark, and it was coming on fast. I quickly decide to ride back again, but after about 30 seconds on the road i got a worrying phone call, from my mum, telling me that i have been out too late, and that she is coming to pick me up. What a Worry-Wort. I could still see! Woah, where did that car come from.
After a short and silent ride back home, i sat down, on my chair, realsing for the first time, the serious-ness that tomorrow will have on me.
I'll tell you how it goes

Xavier at 2:50 AM HMMM... 10 minutes early, do i go inside.... no i wait around the corner for a few minutes and appear in a second, i waited, 2 minutes seems like 10. I gave in, walked around the corner, smiling...
"I'm a bit Early" i said.
"Luke... No thats fine, i wasnt expecting you..."
I think you know what happens next. We both look at the roster, my time had been crossed out, permanaent marker was smudged in my little box telling me what time i was supposed to be there. Great. Ryan, the manager, told me that he was sorry, and he thought i knew, he didnt tell me, i watched him prinnt my time off and then i left last saturday, i could of sworn.
"Well, the best i can do is give you an hour, it can be like a training session" Ryan told me.
"Im so sorry, i had no idea, i can go if you want, i rode my bike here and i had no idea" I lied back.
"No Dont worry about it, stay, we can teach you more. So what have you learnt so far?"
"Well, i dont really know where to start"
"OK. Well do you know how to cut up pizza's?"
"Yes"
"Chopping Vegetables"
"Yes"
"Served a customer?"
"No, not yet" I told Ryan, just as someone walks through the door.
Well, here was my unlucky break, i stood sweating as i try to take in the information being relayed to me, fumbling with the mouse and the questions i had to reply. After 5 minutes of stuttering and murming to myself, ryan helped me finish off the order, i remembered one thing i had to say.
"Can i get a name with that"
"Sure, its Downer"
I put the information into the computer, clicked OK, and listened to the sound printing the reciept in the background. Tear, put it up on the To-Do pile. Ryan told me that i have to be more confident and take charge of the conversation, show them that you have expertise in this and that you know what your doing. Hmm... i think i will try a little harder next time.
After a few phone calls and me cutting a load of pizza's, putting them in boxes and waiting for someone to come take them off my hands, i decided to try and tackle the next customer (not literrally of course). The next person walked in, here come the butterflies in my stomach.
"Hi, how can i help you"
The Person relayed the information and i stumbled with the program once again. The docket printed off after i got handed the money.
"Thank-you" I said
I put the reciept in the To-Do pile, like every time i see someone else doing it. and i continue with the making of boxes, while filling them with pizzas, until the order came through.
"Order for Downer" i said, with a loud voice.
Who was downer again, my first ever customer i took the order for, but i was so concentrated on the screen i didnt look at there face. A man stood up, i relayed the information on the reciept, and he took the pizzas off me. It has already said PAID.
"Have a good night" I told the man, he looked strange.
A few minutes later a women walks in, she wants to know whats happening with her order, i asked for her name"
"Downer" she replied as my face dropped.
"Sure... Hang on, one second" I replied, oh-oh.
Where's Ryan, Wheres Ryan, i found him around the corner and told him what happened, I looked at all the reciepts hoping there wasnt ANOTHER Downer. No. Crap. I picked up the reciept and put it right at the top of the to-do pile. I told the lady about 10 minutes, she wasnt happy, but said okay and went to sit in her car, the Pizza came through the oven and out the other side, i put it in the box, and handed it to the lady.
"Garlic Bread? The lady asked.
"Im sorry we are out of garlic bread, its not on the reciept, can we offer you something else?" That sounded pretty proffesional.
"No thank-you" The lady walked off.
Oh-oh i can feel the tension of the manager, im probably gonna get a telling off, i explained my story and he said that i need to speak up a bit. Maybe that would help. Jeez, adrenalin rush, and for no good reason, beside the fact that is was my fourth day, i wasnt supposed to be there, and i stuffed up my very first order. Great.
I hope im not that bed in the future. If im still employeed. It was a harsh day, cruel for me, i just hope i never have to go through something like that again.
So thats my story, let me hear yours. Whats the worst thing that has happened in your work place?
