What a fucking crazy day.
I woke up late this morning. Knowing I was already late, I decided to sleep a little later and go in for the afternoon. Whatever, it’s a crap job and I don’t really care.
But I still get nervous going in late. All the days I’ve called in bored sick, come in [...]

Work. Bored.
Home. Packing.
Remember Shawn’s Phil’s boyfriend? This is the guy that Shawn hooked up with (read: met, not fooled around with) one night when they both went to Phil’s stag and since then they meet up at Phil’s regularly.
Anyway, it appears that my ex-girlfriend is now dating Shawn’s Phil’s boyfriend. Interesting.

I work up this morning without any adverse effects from drinking last night. Not really a surprise since I only had 6 beers over the course of 6 hours.
I did, however, have a strange pain in my stomach in the morning so I decided not to go into work. I slept through the morning and [...]

When I went to grab my bike this morning, it looked like it had partially fallen over in the bike rack. No big deal, but when I started actually biking, it was really tough to pedal. I stopped to check the air in my tires it seemed fine so I so kept going. It was [...]

Laura’s big family reunion was today and it was… well, boring. The very young children like it because they get to play silly games together and the old people like it because they get to see everyone but those in their teens and early twenties are dragged to it and are bored to tears. Laura [...]

Laura and I went shopping for house wares this afternoon. I’m all domestic and shit recently, getting excited over buying a microwave oven and freestanding lamp. Woo.
Okay, but this really was exciting. A cranberry raspberry energy drink? Sweetness.

Laura’s sister Katie had a going away party with her friends tonight. Tomorrow she heads off to start university in Toronto. I didn’t take much of any pictures since well… I didn’t know anyone there and they were all ~4 years younger than me (so it would have been creepy).
Laura and I finally watched ‘The [...]

I was finally given my annual review at work today - 14 months after starting there. They work off a standard 2-page form with 8-10 items and you’re given a rank out of 5 for each. My boss is a guy who never gives out 5 because there’s always room for improvement. When I first [...]

I spent much of tonight working on Laura’s sister Katie’s new eMachines computer. Mainly just taking off garbage applications and putting on useful things. It isn’t much, but it’s something.

I worked with a guy from Persia today. He’s only 19 and has been here a couple years. His English is better than some of the people at work who have been in Canada for years, but he can barely read or write it.
Sadly, he is apparently not a prince of Persia nor did he [...]
