Yeah, so...

The past couple days have been spent shopping. IKEA, Winners, the usual spots. Don't worry I haven't bought much. Just a couple things for the new apartment. Once we get one that is. I've packed a few more things. Nothing major though. Tomorrow I'm going to the 'Bridge for a couple of dr's apointments. Fun fun. Oh well...gotta be done. The point is the packing is yet again going to be delayed. Meh, it'll get done. I'm not too concerned.

Tomorrow is...

...the first day of the rest of my life. AKA it's time to start planning/packing. I'm now done work. And boy does that feel weird. Walking out on Friday was very different.

So...now I actually have to start packing. And get my car in for service. And I have a few appointmets to go to. And oh yeah it'd probably be good to find a place to live. Details, details.

The wedding was great. Took some photos and some video. Made a little video CD for the happy couple. Ate lots of good food. Got to see some family before leaving which is nice. I'll miss you guys a lot.

Anyways, that's all for now.

And the verdict is...

Packing will so not be started this week. It's already Tuesday night. And then comes Wednesday, which I have plans for. And then it's already Thursday, which means I have to pack up for the weekend. I need to leave right away from work on Friday to go home to go to Barrie for my cousin's wedding. Sigh. My last week of work and it's almost over.

Next week I'll get to enjoy some R'n'R. And hopefully at some point hangout with some people. I'm really going to miss you guys. A lot. I'm getting sad thinking about it now.

That's all for now...busy rest of the week here I come!

P.S. yes it's significant. Let's just say it'll be staying where it is. And coming with me for sure...

Weekend so far...part 2

Ok, so yesterday Kenny and I went to Charlotte Anne's for lunch. Well it was actually breakfast if we're going to be technical. But anyways...I always enjoy my meal when I eat there. I'm going to miss it. It's one of my favourite places to eat here. Then we went to the mall. Bought a couple things and then went back home. Visited with Lynda, Jeff and Terrell for a bit. We decided we should go out later, so we made plans to meet at Terrell's. We ended up staying at her place playing Cranium, which for those of you that haven't played it's kinda like trivial pursuit, pictionary and charades all in one. Pretty good game.

Today we slept in. Yay for sleep! The we ate some breakfast and walked the streets of downtown Ptbo. Bought a few more little things like bubble wrap and tape to aid in my packing.

Now I'm hanging out alone. Chillaxin'. It's nice. Back to work tomorrow. 37.5 hours to go. Unless of course I get stuck on calls any night this week. It has a good chance of happening. A really good chance.

Packing will happen this week. For real.

Weekend so far...

Finished work last night @ 5pm. Don't have to work til Monday @ 9am. What's a girl to do for an entire weekend off!?!

Kenny came up last night. We went to dinner at the Olde Stone. Yum yum! The food and the boys, too! The we went to the Trash. Bad idea. Apparently it was fetish fun night. We did a 180 and promptly left. The Rooster was the next stop. Everything appeared normal and if nothing else it was pretty slow. $4 later and we're in. It picked up and this girl got her groove on for most of the night. Ah yes, dancing! Oh how I love to dance!

On the countdown front, it's 5 days left. Or 37.5 hours if you want to be specific.

On the packing front. I still have less than a box packed. BUT I will be starting more this week probably. I'm home alone most of the week and I'll be making good use of the time.

More tomorrow...

It's official!!

I've started packing!!! Ok, so I don't even have a full box yet. But it is a start. And that's what matters! It's hard to pack at this point. So much of my stuff I need still. And then there's the fact that I don't any boxes or rubbermaid containers. Details, details, I know.

Oh yeah...countdown details. It's now 7 days of work left til I'm free!!

That's all folks!

9 days to go...

So it's less than 2 weeks of work left. I'm down to 9 days left. Soon I'll be counting the hours. I got to mentor again today! Woo hoo!

Had a busy weekend. Went to a pool party that turned more into a pool table party. But I'm ok with that. ; - ) Went to visit Sally and Rob on Sunday for a barbeque. Shish-kabob's...yum!!

Need more sleep...

Yeah so...

I work my last night shift tomorrow. It's kinda a weird feeling. It'll be a lot more weird my last day of course, but it's a nice feeling knowing I don't have to work another night shift at Minacs. 2 weeks of days and I'm done! And to top if off I get to work my last days at Minacs with some of my bestest buds!

I have yet to start packing (although some of us apparently can't wait!...Kenny!!) I'm sure I'm going to leave it all to the last minute. But then again at this rate we don't know exactly when we'll be going so I don't really know when the last minute will actually be. : - )

I'm glad I have some family stuff coming up so that I can see most people before I leave. It's going to be hard to be so far from everyone when I'm so used to seeing everyone on a fairly regular basis. I guess email and chatting will have to do. Oh yeah and in case you didn't know, you're all coming to visit!!

P.S. - it's 11 days left of work and I can't wait!

Repeated Behaviour is Habit!

Isn't it funny how you can be smart and logical and rational...and yet stupid all at the very same time. It has come to my attention that although I'm probably one of the most logical people I know, I too can be stupid at times. (Ok, ok, so maybe a lot of the times). I guess maybe it's not stupid, but rather ruled by my emotions which is something I rarely am. Sometimes it's a good thing like moving across the country. Very illogical with no employment or residence. Other times it's not such a good thing like when I let myself get hurt because I don't know how to let go. I guess it's all part of learning and growing. Sometimes though I don't want to grow up...but I guess it's true that growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. I choose to grow up...

3 weeks to go...

So the memory card actually arrived on time. I got it around 12pm Friday! And the best part is that Dell hasn't charged me yet for it. I know they will, it's just kinda funny that's all. I haven't really had a chance to take many pictures yet, but let's just say that Nacho is a Diva Model now. : - )

So I have 3 more weeks left of work and it's kinda crazy to think that I won't be working there (or at all) in just 3 weeks. It makes me happy that I won't be a phone monkey anymore but sad that I'll be missing my friends from work. They're my second family since we get to spend so much time together at work. I've gotten to know a few people pretty well and those are the ones that I will miss the most because although there is the online world to keep in touch it's just not the same.

I'm going to be pretty busy in the next 6 weeks or so. By the time I finish work it's only 3 weeks to go. I have plans almost every weekend between family stuff like a wedding and hanging with friends, too. I'm glad I get to see a lot of people before I leave it's just going to be tiring with all that stuff going on. Oh well, there's always next year to sleep!

Round 2...

Ok, so I've ordered again from Dell. We'll see how this time goes. They had a memory card on sale. And I mean on sale! So I ordered it tonight and it should be here next week.

And the countdown continues...17 days and counting...

Monday, August 02, 2004

the countdown is on...

So it's a good thing I got paid lots of money because I so did not have fun working today. Most of my friends were off for the day and there I was slaving away at the office. The unfairness of it all! Oh well...19 more days to go!! Yay!!

On another note...19 more days of work!! Woo hoo! Can you tell I can't wait to not work there? I'll be counting the hours soon enough...

p.s. who wants to bet I leave everything, you know, like packing up my life, til the last minute!
