The Holidays

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

My dad was super sick last year so we pretty much skipped Christmas. It'll be nice to get back into it!

And the car parks especially seem to be filled with idiots. It's like, people will have half a dozen cars lined up behind them, but just stop and wait for someone to leave their parking spot. I mean come on mate...

Ugh I know, everyone wants to park right next to the door haha. Parked in the roof at Greensy yesterday and just went straight to the back where it was empty haha.

Dude, it is a nightmare now. I went the other day and the target carpark (which I have never seen filled past the ground floor) was full... I had to park on the roof there...

Geez, glad I finished my shopping! I've found around 2.30 to be a good time to go since people leave to do the school pick up. But I think school holidays have started now so it's probably crazy all day. I was at Eastland last week and while parking sucked I was surprised that it didn't seem busy inside. Maybe cos it's just so big haha.

Yeah Eastland is freaking horrible to find a park at. xD Though I always go to my same area which hasn't failed me yet! So glad I had all my Christmas shopping done like a week ago. One of my friends finished all hers by the start of December which motivated me to start early. Though she missed out on Black Friday sales. xP Which weirdly were a thing this year. But hey, I'm happy to get sales because of a holiday that isn't even a thing in our country! xD

Nice, I used to have an area too, like in the carpark but the area that isn't covered overhead xD But I haven't been there much since they renovated everything. If I need something that's not at Greensy, I usually just get the bus to Doncaster to avoid having to park. xD But wow getting all your shopping done by December is impressive. The end of the year always creeps up on me!

SAME! Maybe it was the same spot! xD Ahh I see. I didn't really drive before the renovation so I've only really driven there since, haha. But the carpark still confuses the hell outta me. Orly? I've only been to Doncaster like three times and all times I've gotten a park, but that also wasn't in December. xD And yes, super impressive! Glad I took a leaf out of her book haha.

Anyway we should extend this conversation to others who don't live in Melbourne. XD What plans do you have for Christmas? Do you get a break too? O: I'll probably be working like every day except Christmas only because we're closed. xD

I'm going to my dad's for Christmas eve. It's the first time it's at his house and not my grandmother's house so it'll be interesting. xD Then on Christmas Day I'm going to my Uncle's but he lives like an hour away so it's always a hassle.

I actually graduated on Monday! So I'm all done at uni and can have as much time off as I want (while applying for jobs...). But I usually still go into uni most days to hang with the bf who works there and doesn't get time off. XD And also because if I stay home all the time I will become super lazy and unmotivated haha.

Wow you are working hard! Do you get paid extra for working on public holidays or is that only if you're not full time? That is crazy though, I hope you get to have a break eventually. I know my brother's fiance is flat out working retail as well while he is forced to take time off between Christmas and New Year as his office is closed. Kinda lame how businesses make you use up your annual leave to do that.

What are you doing for Christmas? :D
