Going Back to Work and Losing My Job!!!

  Hey everyone and welcome back. Today is all about me going back to work and how I am not thrilled with my job. And if y'all have been following, I got a job and I thought that I would be there for a long time like my old one... NOPE! Since I am technically an employee through a staffing agency, I have different rules than employees of the company I work at.  But, I was excited to get a job and go back to work because I was not going back to Walmart!

Where Have I Been?

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is well where ever you are in the world.
As of right now, it is four days before Christmas and this post is not meant to bring everyone down. I want this to be a post that is just a simple update and that I will be back and stronger than ever!

Terrible Tuesday

Spur of the moment and I need to vent before I punch a hole in the wall. Today was not a good day to start with. It is spring time and it is still bloody snowing here; not fun. I am the private family chauffeur: take you here and that one there. Having two people in the house that can't drive really really sucks. With da working, I usually drive everyone no matter what day of the week. That does include my friends.

Boring day!

Allo friends!!! Today is a cold morning and I thought that I would give y'all a peak into my Monday! WARNING: IT IS NOTHING FUN but it is my start of the week.

Also my best friend has been staying with me and I have been taking her to and from work when I can. FYI

I am doing the time in military time because that is what comes naturally to me.

6:15: wake up. My best friend worked at 7 and it is about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Start the car so he can warm up and the both of us get dressed.

6:45: start the journey to work :(

7:15: came home and started to watch tv and clean up my floor- aka my bed

   I also take this time to catch up on my DVR recordings and catch up on watchin YouTube videos

9:00: Laundry time! I am seriously running out of clothes and it is getting colder plus I am going away for the weekend; and there will be a post on what I am doing since I have to explain it and it's a Legion event. Can't wait to see my friends from South Jersey! Seaside The Red Head aka my da and I are coming Saturday!

11:00: paint my nails. I bought the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Base and Top Coat in Black-O. I have never had gel nails before so this is new for me. But the brush for the top coat was messed up so I used the one from the polish so I could do the top coat. I finished doing my nails around 11:30 and just letting them dry completely so there are no smudges.

12:20: I am making lunch, Da and I went grocery shopping and from what we bought, I am making a fish sandwich and chips aka fries!!! So excited! When it gets closer to finishing I will toast a ciabatta roll and dress the sandwich the same way  I would eat fish & chips which is just ketchup, salt, and pepper. Whilst waiting I am going to snack on a tomato and eat shortly, After, I eat I think that I will do my makeup! Maybe... shall see...  I might since I have dark nails on and going to stay in the dark theme.

14:05: folding laundry whilst watchin tv

15:15: dressed and start makeup

15:45-15:50: start driving to work

16:00-19:00: work

19:15: home from work and look for something to eat for dinner

After this, it is mostly boring unless I go out with my friends. I usually relax and watch some tv, watch movies, Netflix, or YouTube.

Hope y'all enjoyed this post and talk to you soon!!!

Weekend Blues

This weekend was an interesting one at best.

Friday was filled with errands and a lost car part. I was running errands and it was going well until my temp gauge started to rise. I was on my way to get my brother and  I pulled over in Horseshoe Lake. I popped the hood and to my shock a cap was missing. The cap to my antifreeze was missing. That explained a lot. As I was about to freak out, a man and his son pulled up next to the car and asked me if I needed help. He offered to take me to the gas station and to pick up the royal pain in my ass. The both of them were very kind and helpful. Once we got back to the car, Sean and I went to Autozone to see if they had a cap; surer that sh*t they didn't have one and I couldn't call mum since she had left work. But Monday is another day to get the cap. So for now, there is tape over it so I can travel short distances. My poor poor Earl( the name of my car) is old and needs some tender loving care. But he is my rust bucket and I'll drive until I can't no more. Then, I hung out with Veronika from 7:30ish until 12:30ish. I was getting late and I needed to get some rest since I had work in the morning.

As Friday came to a close and the Saturday sun rose, per usual I didn't want to go to work. Also, not want to take Sean to work. But I did and sat in the parking lot at working until it was time to walk into work. Time goes by so slow on the weekends and to be frank, it f*&^ing s*$ks. Once work was over I came home to snack, change, and went to my aunt's house. Her car is in the shop so I drove her around so she can run errands. This is always our time to catch up and bond. While we were shopping we went to look and nail polish. Since it is football season, we were looking for a Giants blue since we love the Giants. But instead of getting blue, we got a red. Whilst looking at the polish, I found two colors that I will go back and buy. One is a pretty teal by Sally Hansen and the other by POI called 'Lincoln Park After Dark" which is a dark burgundy color. Stepping out of my comfy zone y'all.  I love my aunt so much, she is truly my other mother. After I left I had plans until my best friend's mom called me and my night changed. I went to see what was going on and wow. I am still in shock about what has happened. So instead of relaxing with my friends, I was comforting my best friend and trying calm things down.

Now on Sunday morning, we both got up since she had to work at 7 and I drove her since she doesn't have a car. Whilst she is working, I will go about my day and wait until she needs me to come get her. Hopefully things will calm down and I can drink a nice cup of tea to wind down the night but we shall see.  And I did end my night off with a cup of tea!!!

about me

in the new year, we might as well get to know each other...

i was born in New Jersey, USA. that is on the east coast and I have moved to two different towns and around the same block with in 3 years...

so from the beginning:
my name is Shannon Rae McCloskey. I was born on Valentine's Day (February 14) 1994 in NJ. I am the oldest of two. I have a younger brother named Sean. He was born on March 12 the following year in Denville. We lived in a one bedroom with our parents until I was about 18mos. old and then moved to my childhood home in Roxbury.

new hair color, going to dye it darker!
my makeup post will me on this
blog and my other blog. A Night in the City;
please check it out. my friend
and I just started it.

I went through the Roxbury school system from kindergarten; this is where I met some great people. And I had some great teachers that I still remember to this day. Kindergarten was probably was the best because we switched classes everyday with the other teacher. My teacher was very musical(one of many reasons I went in music later in my school career); he made everyone laugh, then we would go across the hall to the other classroom and that teacher would teach us things that she taught hers. Then before you know it, hear is high school; we called it a prison because there is no windows, NO WINDOWS to see the outside world. You only saw daylight is if you took gym, during lunch, band class, or if you were lucky to have a class in either E or P halls. I enjoyed my freshman and senior years the most. I had amazing teachers through out my four year at RHS but I some are more cool then the rest. When graduation came, I was not so sad to not have to walk the hallowed halls of my now alma mater. I miss going to band and taking all the history classes I could; and seeing the teachers that made it possible for me to graduate.

Now a days, I spend my time writing and working. I have been working in a pediatric doctors office since my junior year on high school(started in 2010). It is a good job while your in high school since I'd go after school. I also still volunteer at the public library. I have been there for almost ten years and love it. I have met some amazing children along the way; they are all now in elementary school and their parents/grandparent(s)/care-taker have become friends through story time. I have come a long way from book jacketing books and shelving. Now, I help run story time and other programs throughout the year. This year will make my tenth and final year. I have taught many others and made friends within the employees at the library. All the memories will be and I will tell in a future a blog closer to my final Friday.

As the year goes on, I will share my daily events on days, recipes, makeup looks... On occasion, I might write a blog in German from time to time; I can speak... please leave any questions and talk to you soon
