Today they split up Laura and I at work. There are just so many new people with need of good workers to train them that they had to. Jeff, our boss, was avoiding our gazes for a while - worried we’d be mad at him. I worked with some welder from plant 1 who earns [...]

Laura took and passed her drivers exam for her full licence today. Because of that, her mom dropped her off and picked her up. I waited with her at the end of the day and her mom gave me a gingerbread cookie. It was delicious but not as good as home made. They never are. [...]

Laura and I are trying to detox this week. Well, for the first bit, at least. No more energy drinks to stay awake at work. Partially because it was becoming habit and partially because my money is pretty much gone until I get paid on Thursday.
So I got home, finished off a bag of Tostitos [...]

Woke up to Laura on the phone followed by an hour of guild politics. Bluetard, a great player and friend of Shawn and I left the guild over stupid stuff so Shawn and I chatted with a bunch of other guildmates on the Ventrilo server for a while, explaining and talking things out.
It’s common for [...]

Work in the morning followed by an overcast and rainy afternoon.
Mike and Jill packed up their stuff today and later at night, when Shawn had gone out with Kathleen, I went over and picked up stuff they didn’t want. A few boxes of food and kitchen wares plus Mike’s old white desk (for the [...]

Laura, Shawn and I went out and saw ‘The Skeleton Key’ with Mike and Jill tonight. It was a decent movie but not really a scary movie.

Afterwards, we hung out at Pizza Pizza across the street for a while as the pizza was made then eaten and conversation continued. Mike and Jill move to Toronto [...]

Today started rough but steadily improved. Laura called me an unarticulate bastard - that was kind of fun but even better later on when I got to call her one, too.
The turnaround at work is ridiculous. Four people had their last day today and none of them gave advanced notice. Another couple are going after [...]

Mistakes were made. Confronting them is never fun.
I hear Jerome Elliott’s a real asshole.
the world falls apart in just 7 days

Went to Laura’s place after work today which was pretty enjoyable. We ended up watching Canadian Idol while eating some fish and popcorn. We chatted with her sister for a bit and she drove me home later on (though we stopped for gas and some imitation Slurpees).
It’s been getting colder out lately. Really, it’s fall [...]

Tired today. I hit up 7-11 at lunch and picked up a Monster and a buffalo chicken taquito. The guy threw in a free Monterey jack something or other, too. Who am I to complain if they like taking care of me.
Laura and I worked until 6:30 tonight after which I came home and passed [...]
