Oh Star...

....fall down on me....

Finally I get a moment!

Life has just been that busy that I haven't had the chance to blog or check my e-mails or even stay up late! Yeah...that's right. This girl is in bed by 10 p.m these days! I'm just so sleepy I can't keep my eyes open!
So these days at IKEA, there's definately less building and more arranging and p-tagging(price tagging for you non-IKEA speakers XD) going on. And we're ahead of schedule in the children's department so they have me and my other co-workers moving around constantly.
This Sunday I have to work 2-9 pm which is going to be interesting seeing as how I've never worked nights before at anytype of job. But I think that's it's going to be really fun because I'll have all of my new friends there. I think that might have to be the best part about working at IKEA. I've made sooooooo many new friends! I know I sound like I'm just going on and on about it but it's so true. I make a new friend everyday, lol. It's gotten to the point where one of my co-workers named Amanda says, "You know everyone don't you! " lol. Oh, and I was on T.V because the news people have been coming to visit us like on a regular basis.

So anyways, moving on from my awesome job...uhm that's bascially been my life. Eat, sleep and go to work! Haha...I have no life.
This past weekend I went garage saling with Tara Fernandez and the youth group girls. It was quite fun and I found some cute things to take home with me. Haley spent the night at my house and I took her to church the next day. I am so glaaad that it's almost Friday.

Twilight gets released this Saturday!! I'm releasing my inner fan girl! lol. I'm excited, and yes I'm going to buy it. Also...I need to buy pants...not that you would care though. hehe.
Anyways...I think I'm going to go straighten my hair....love to all!

P.S. My friend Matt Hires left for tour today. We'll miss you! Have fun!

Peace

Code 1000

So today at work was everyones first official Code 1000. For those of you who don't know IKEA terms, Code 1000 means there's an emergency and we need to evacuate the building.
Well here's what happened.
All the people working went outside for their 15 min break and we're all standing there talking. The fire alarms have been going off all day because they are testing them and so is this one automated voice saying "This is a test of the Code 1000". So as we're standing there, some people notice there's all this water gushing from the top and bottom of a door and that the cement is soaked and what not. That's when me and my friend here "Attention IKEA Co-Workers. This is Code 1000". Thinking nothing of it we casually walk to the end of the building laugh it off. As we're talking I hear Cristian,(one to the head managers) yell to everyone. "Hey code 1000! this is not a drill!!"
That's when I see all the manager yelling "Get away from the building!" and running and what not. So that's when I grab my buddy Stacy and start walking quite quickly toward the parking lot. They tell us to separate by our departments and what not and then we have to gather to get roll called.
That's when the firetrucks show up and then boom...after a few mins it's over....nothing...lol.
Turns out a pipe bursted and was gushing water everywhere.......
Yeah...that's what I was thinking....lame!
They evacuated us for water?! Grr...but I guess that's just routine. So after all that we back inside to finish work.
And that was my excitment for the day.....I'm dead tired. Gonna pack my bag for tommrow, edit pictures until 9:30 and then peacefully drift into oblivion.

Peace

IKEAAAAA!!

Work is going so great! Like unbeliveably great. Each day I meet new people and make new friends. Everyone is so so so nice and kind and willing to help one another. Almost everyone I've spoken with is willing to give me a ride home when I need one. I am having the time of my life!

Granted my hands are covered in tiny little cuts, my knees are bruised and my arms are sore...it's all incredibly worth it and I wouldn't trade this new job for anything!....Well except maybe a job with Pediatric Rehab but IKEA will do for a long time.
They're still hire more people if you wanna come and join me LOL.
Today I built soooo many shelf thingy's called Trofast. Everything has a swedish name and I feel kinda cool saying the different names of the products. lol. Who knew that building could be so much fun right? I'm really looking forward to opening day and having more time to update my blogs more often. Oh, and pictures of course.

So that's bascially what I'll be doing for the next two weeks, building from 8-5 with a 1 hour break and two 15 minute breaks. Oh, and we don't have to wear hardhats anymore! Yay no more helmet hair! And we can start using our cards to clock in. It's all happening so quickly!

So that's it for now...I'm dead tired at 6:24 pm. I'm off to dinner, amercian idol and then bed....who knows...I might even pass out beforehand.
Farewell mon ami's, I bid thee adieu.

Peace,
