Seventy percent of the workers left at noon today and nearly all the rest of them at three. After that, it was just us Hardcore Four (the two Newfies, Laura and I) working and it felt like a Saturday in that it was super relaxed and no one was around. It rained in the morning [...]

The loud ambient noise at work sometimes leads to interesting conversations. Bancroft can sometimes sound a lot like Bangkok, for example, prompting Kim’s reaction of, “I will bang cock, but I’m not going to Bangkok.”
McDonald’s today for lunch. It was most excellent, as usual.
The patch I threw on my bike last night more or less [...]

Today, Ryan had a good interview with the admissions guy from the masters program he applied to. The guy said Ryan was pretty much in once two guys signed off on the application (as a formality).
This is great news for selfish me as it means Ryan, Shawn and I can probably sign a lease for [...]

30 minutes late for work and then it was long and slow. Afterwards, I relaxed for a bit in the park with Laura before heading back home.
Brief Onyxia raid and then I watched ‘12 Monkeys’ and did laundry.
Oh, and I’m working on making this blog look better in Internet Explorer. While I work on that, [...]

Rise Against - Swing Life Away
Disturbed - Darkness

Weezer - We Are All On Drugs

I like that Shawn and I don’t bother wearing shirts around the house anymore. I mean, why would we bother?
Worked on my deviantART page a bit this afternoon and chatted to the mother for a while.

It sure feels like I didn’t do much today. Oh, I did actually get things done, it just wasn’t anything [...]

Another lazy day at work today. Laura and I have been helping out in chairs lately. Working with Grant has shown me that he actually has a personality beyond the mean guy he portrays to most people.
Hung out after work for a while and then came home and napped through the afternoon. I got a [...]

Today was a pretty good day. Most of the people went home at lunch so it was a lazy afternoon or those of us still working.

I arrived home to discover that tickets to see Nine Inch Nails were secured. Most excellent.
I chatted with Ryan, Shawn and Melissa for a while, which was good and reassuring [...]

Last night, Dennis and I went out, grabbed Wendy’s and went to Waterloo Park to eat. When we parked, there was a car with sirens a few metres away which we assumed was just a police car. He watched us get out of the car and move over to a bench a little bit away, [...]
