When it rains, it pours, and other weather related stories.

So, I AM TEAM COWBOYS!!! Yay!

I am also waiting to hear from MuchMusic- eeeheeem!

And I was referred for a job back in Toronto and had a phone interview today... I got it! Thank you so much Andrew! Hopefully the parameters of the contract work out and I will be back in July! Wooohoo!

Also my Husbands out in Edmonton just got their dream job!

Winning!!!

MuchMusic and Cowboys

So.. the first official week of June is here and hump day (i used to think that that meant sex and felt left out that I had never had any... oh to be younger again!) is upon us...

Much Music will announce their backstage correspondent (pick me!) winner for the MMVA's and Cowboy's (#iamteamcowboys) will announce their money making staff for June.

Obviously I want both and can do both and will be amazing at both.

Is there a limit on how many times one can ask to be given a chance (aka WIN)? If so I'd like to group these two together with winning the encore on 6/49 AND getting the customer service job for the TTC. Is that greedy?!... 1 huge win!
All of those things (okay keep the lotto win) would also open other doors, which counts as winning for life.

If I get none of those things thus week or next or in the months soon to come, then I request nothing more than happiness. Also a handsome, fit husband whom I love, of considerable wealth who wants to pay off my student debt and adopt children with me while subsidising a few acting classes... simple. Normal. Common even.

“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky.” ― Rumi

Fill your Life.

I want a room filled with shelves.
And on those shelves,
All of the books that I have read.
Right now,
It is just a cupboard.

Wanda Sykes with Pee on her Pants

I was just watching Ellen and Wanda Sykes was on... she's so funny.

She brought up an excellent point. Hoovering over the toilet seat!!

After yoga yesterday, a run and dancing up a storm with husband#1, if I had to use a public washroom today, I fear my legs would give out.

I'm all about the hoover.

I often wonder who the women are that sit on public toilets. I think that they are either idiots or so sanitary that it never occurs to them how unsanitary others are.

Women complain about men's washrooms because they smell like urine and men do pee on the seat and all around it. But that's kind of all that men do.

Women leave urine on the seat, on the side of the bowl, on the floor... blood, vomit, hair. SO DISGUSTING.
And most ladies to be clean freaks... well, can't you turn around after your business is done and wipe it all up- at least leave the impression that you are tidy.

I work in a bar part-time. And the staff use the customer washroom. A few weeks ago I ran to the washroom to discover a delightful young RATCHET hugging the toilet while throwing up.
That's all I'm saying. 

All The Above

I, for some reason, am listening to that song on repeat (Maino ft. TPain); it just popped into my head and needed to be blasted.... I should write my own 'all the above' bits.

It is making me think of the things that I have learned these few years. Mostly things about myself.

Like, I will never keep a job that doesn't provide me some sort of satisfaction (aside from Monetary) again- I will never work in a place that doesn't appreciate me and what I bring to the team nor work for a company where I don't like their values. We spend far too much time at work- we spend more time at work than we do sleeping, eating, with friends or family ect than we do anything else- to not find some sort of happiness in it. I am not one of those talented people who can separate their brain and let work be work and everything else be my life; all of my life is my life and I need to be able to find ways to enjoy all of it.

I've also learned that I can't stand a liar... haha... who can? But we all have and allow so many into our lives even after we discover them. Why?
What is worth lying about? What truth of yours is so terrible that you have to fabricate something instead of revealing it? What kind of people do you have in your life that you feel that you have to lie to be accepted? What do you think of me, that you would deny me the truth? These are questions that I asked myself during my break up last year, that I've reflected on when thinking about some friendships that I  have and more recently when talking to KKS... WHO ARE YOU, really?! The answers are all very confusing. and hurtful.

When you look back on your life, or your day or the year- will you be proud of yourself? Will you be confident in who you are because you know that you did your best? Will you have given as much love and respect to others as you feel you deserve?

ALL THE ABOVE!

Also.

I'm am patiently waiting for the TTC to contact me for an interview (DO IT! HIRE ME!) and MuchMusic to hire me for the MMVA's Backstage Correspondent. First Interview: Mariana's Trench- my fav!!!!

MMVA's Backstage Correspondent 2013

I have just applied to be a backstage correspondent for this year's MMVA's!!! Get me back to Toronto!!!!

How amazing would I be at this?! Blogging and tweeting?! My friends report to me that if they didn't follow me on instagram or twitter, they would have nothing to do- I always keep them in the loop!

I probably should have written that in my application....

But it will be like a throw back!! I'll get to be on the otherside.... a few years ago, when MuchMusic ran the Naked campaign for the MMVA's, I was in one of the commercials.
And Subway is sponsoring the Backstage Correspondent- I used to be a Sandwich Artist.... clearly all of the stars are aligning!

PLUS I can represent Stratford in case Justin Bieber doesn't make it. And my fav Canadian band Mariana's Trench will be there... love Josh Ramsay.

Let's go stars- align. 

Rogers Wireless has failed me.

I have to vent about the horrible service that Rogers has provided me!

In December I decided to switch to Fido (which Roger's owns) because they had amazing deals that Roger's couldn't ... or wouldn't... give me.

In true Rogers style, it took Fido 3 weeks to send me my phone but when I got it, we transferred by number over and off I went.
When I spoke with Rogers I asked them how much it would cost to cancel my plan- they said 200$, which is obscene but fine a contract is a contract.
When I cancelled and went to their sister company they told me that because I was staying within the Rogers umbrella, I would only have to pay 100$ to terminate. Wonderful.

I got my final bill and it was for 336$. So I called Rogers and they said sorry our bad, and I paid $110 and they promised to credit the remainder. That was in January. Every month since I have gotten calls from Roger's collections department saying I owe them 226$, then I explain to them the error and they apologise and say they will credit me and it never happens. Rogers Collections, Fido Service, Rogers Customer Service and Rogers Advice (twitter) have all 'helped me' with this situation and still  nothing has changed until now:

5 months later I just got this email:

"I tried to contact you on the given contact numbers in your account with Rogers, however I was not able to get hold of you.

In regards to the adjustment of the cancellation fees, unfortunately it cannot be adjusted as you did not meet the criteria of migration, the Credit Class you had in Rogers account is not eligible for Intra band migration fees adjustment.

The charges are all justified.

Kindly make payment.

Thanks"

I emailed them backing saying even if that is correct, you should still credit my now 5 month old account because it was your mistake!! I didn't ask for the discount, you offered it. And none of that was mentioned until now.

They replied:

Hello Bobbi,

We offer the migration however meeting the criteria is customer responsibility.

I appreciate your understanding, I offered my assistance to have it resolved, this is why it took me some time.

However as per policy, we are unable to offer adjustment.

For further concern please call our business lien at 1-866-727-2141.

Thanks

I do not understand how such a giant conglomerate can be so filled with red tape, no transparency and bullshit... isn't Roger's big thing 'service'... maybe they're just talking about the number of towers that they have. 

The battle continues.
