Called in sick today.

Sorry, I just thought it looked sweet. Getting back on topic though…
This was partially because I’m all stuffed up and who wants to go to work or class like that anyway? It was also partially because I was actually feeling motivated to do job things today. The RIM-sponsored career fair thing is [...]

It was a beautiful day out today, but I didn’t really get to enjoy it.
After stayng home sick a couple weeks ago, I’ve just had this minor cough left over. Today the cough got worse and I’m all stuffed up, too. It’s not the greatest development - especially since I thought I was on the [...]

Laura and I made up some omelettes at her parents’ place for dinner, using all the leftover pizza toppings from last night. A most excellent idea that worked out really well. We also made a cake, but only got to eat a single piece each before we had to wisk her away to the [...]

Laura’ mom had a big drunken pizza party tonight for her coworkers. There were lots of people and for the most part, Laura and I hung out downstairs, watching Battlestar Galactica like a pair of good nerd-children.
However, there was excellent pizza to be eaten as well as a pair of delicious frozen desserts…

One was cool [...]

Rachel came over tonight. We ordered pizza and watched Shaun of the Dead with Laura, Ryan and Shawn. The pizza was wonderful and everyone enjoyed the movie.
Except that things didn’t really work out like that.

We didn’t get to really watch the movie because the last person to borrow the DVD got stuff on it and [...]

A school principal called the company to complain that a bunch of the desks they got in were uneven. Supposedly someone (a driver?) stopped in and told her we could easily stop by and fix them.
So today Tony and I drove down to Toronto to fix these desks. We didn’t know much going there. We [...]

Work’s been really slow. Each Monday I worry about being laid off and the rest of the week I’m just worried about there being enough work to keep me awake.
I no longer eat during breaks or lunch. I head straight to the back, find a decent sized desk top and sleep until the buzzer goes. [...]

Lots of snow out today, for a change. After all the nice, mild weather, I suppose I shouldn’t be upset by it. I mean, it is January.
Joe visited tonight. He’s in town to do co-op interviews tomorrow on campus so we went out to dinner with Dennis to the Cow’s Head restaurant. Well, it’s called [...]

I’ve been calling around to schedule an eye appointment for a bit now. I wanted to get it done before this weekend but have had little success. On my walk home tonight though, I randomly stopped in a place and got an appointment for Thursday. Hooray.
The election was today. Shawn, Ryan and I went out [...]

Slow day. The bus broke down on way home. We had just barely gotten onto the 401 so we had to wait an hour for a replacement to come and it was some old beat-up leftover bus, which the driver almost killed. Again.

At least I got to watch the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica when [...]
