Sippin' wine, killin' time, trying to solve life's mysteries.

For the first time ever (I think), all of the supervisors were working today, it was so much fun! My day started with my boss calling me into the office to give me my christmas present. She bought me a box of Turtles chocolate and a Cadeau Surprise scratch ticket... I love her so much, she is seriously the Maxi Mom.

I spent my whole day laughing with the Maxi crew, and just enjoying each other's company. The store wasn't too busy, and we definitely took advantage to fool around.

During my second break, I was walking around the store to pick up some last minute things, and the director of the store stopped me in the aisle. He told me that he had been looking for me to wish me a Merry Christmas. He kissed me on both cheeks and told me what a great employee I am and how I deserve to get all the gifts that I could ever want. One of the comments that he made though are still a mystery: "Tu vas voir Agnes, un jour tu vas l'avoir." I'm still trying to think of what I will be getting in the future, but whatever it is, I hope it makes me happy. I'll take whatever life gives me...

Monique was a riot! She made me laugh so much today, it was unbelievable! Her and Danielle were joking around yesterday, saying that they were going to bring alcohol to work in water bottles and make Christmas eve a little more fun. Obviously, their conscience kicked in and didn't do it, but they did get permission from the director of the store to get two bottles of wine for us to open once the store closed, and that we did!
At 5:30pm, we all gathered around in front of the cashes with our red wine, toasted to the new year and wished everyone the best of holidays. It was a great bonding moment.

People constantly ask me why I am still working at Maxi after 3 years... and all I have to say to those people is: I want to. The people that I work with have become a part of me. I have grown so much because of them, and I thank them continuously for the endless memories that we have shared together. It's going to be so hard to say bye to Marie next week. She's leaving for Angrignon to become assistante-gerante de service. I'm going to miss her so much!

Merci la gang... ma gang de fous! Hahahaha!

Anyway, I'm off to spend some time with the family and bake some Christmas cookies. Merry Christmas to anyone who reads this. May the holidays bring you everything that you could have ever wanted!
