Hmm.. Well, where to be begin? My first day back to work started off shitty, as usual. The fog returned after a
glorious few days in Moncton, with 20-ish degree weather. I also came back to work with a note on my desk saying to please keep my desk more tidy. Well, okay, fair enough, but please
don't clean it for me. I've been spending all day hunting for things I knew the exact location of, pre-boss-cleaning. Oh well. I guess I need to work on that. I've thought about it, and I've set up my desk for a right handed person. Being left handed, this invites chaos to my desk. Well, not chaos, but rather the
appearance of chaos to the untrained eye. If I get a chance this afternoon or tomorrow, I'll flip everything around and hopefully that will take care of at least some things.
Anyway, I'll change gears here and talk about the weekend. I'll spare everyone by bi-monthly bitching and moaning about being
here versus being
there. It's old news. One of these days I'll just fucking well make a decision, but for now, let's talk about better things.
It's very nice to realize that there is a presence in one's life that can always be relied on to make one infinitely happy - and for no particular reason. It's very, very nice.
Anyway, after arriving home, we walked down to the Coliseum to watch the Wildcats. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a sport-nut by any stretch of the imagination, but I very truly enjoyed myself at this hockey game. It was the finals, so everyone had these little towels to swing around when cheering. At first, I was just
way too cool for these stupid things. Besides, I didn't much care if we won or not. It took me half-way into the first period to figure out who the hell we were playing. Anyway, by about 5 minutes into the 2nd period, I was looking for my dinky little towel, which had, unfortunately, fell through the chair in front of me, lost forever. Besides that, though, good game.
Saturday was spent at the Market, of course. We were both sick, so the fresh orange juice was just what the Doctor ordered (well, not literally...). I also ran into a girl from UW. That was, uhm, a little awkward. She's one of those people who, honestly, just isn't that high on my list of people to see when I get home, so I haven't seen her in a while. So, she berated me about this. What she doesn't realize is that there are people I've been trying to see for months that I have yet to see because my weekends at home are usually pretty busy. Anyway. Hm, she also bugged me about the job. This was especially hard because what I wanted to say and what I actually said were pretty much opposite of each other, and I felt like a bumbling idiot. Huh.
So, the rest of the day was spent celebrating my Aunt's birthday. It was actually pretty fun. The oddest thing though.. We got some decorations, and including in this was a "It's a Boy!" banner. We put it up, without really saying anything, and
no one mentioned it. Even now. I wonder what they're thinking...
Sun-day. It was sunny and warm outside, so we spent most of the day walking around. I ended up getting a sunburn, which prompted me to buy some moisturizer with SPF 20 before leaving to come back to SH. Then it was back home for the grand-ol Survivor finale. 3 hours. I was pretty sick of home by that point, so I was glad to get out of there.
I should get back to work. I'm teaching a computer class on Word tonight, so I better get
organized. (insert eye-rolling smiley here)
There's a lot more to discuss, but I shall continue this rant tomorrow.
