Hmm, have been exhausted and anti-social again. It's been a fairly up-and-down couple of weeks. I took 3 days off weekend before last, and spent much of it doing absolutely nothing, which made me feel vaguely guilty, as I could have had people come to visit, or gone to see my Mum, but I needed the rest. I did go into town to my supervisor's son's ( Read more... )

I'm up to 75 kids so far tonight. The best was the girl dressed as a bag of jellybeans, cost $1. And the usual group of boys-who-are-too-old-for-this were actually pretty creatively dressed, although the one dressed as a doctor did try, twice, to tell me about the "syringe" in his pocket. Girls #51/52 looked at me and said "ooh, you're from ( Read more... )

For my birthday, work gave me two new minions to make up for those who jumped ship. There was much rejoicing ( Read more... )

I've done quite a bit in the last month, but netscape is freezing a lot lately, so I haven't updated ( Read more... )

Less than optimal ways to start the day - finding a note on your desk saying "I'm sorry, P, I quit! signed minion #8". The day shift prep managed to talk her out of sobbing insanely in the parking lot, and once they were done I caught her just before she drove home. Half an hour of 'I didn't realize you were having difficulty, 'cause you're ( Read more... )

Still being incredibly boring in this corner of Ontario. I did run away to join the circus (aka. spent the weekend at an anime con, wearing cat ears) with Tangeriner two weeks ago. That was loads of fun, and I came back with the requisite loads of books, but far too short as usual. Once again we were terribly underdressed and only had fancy ( Read more... )

I have been terribly boring again lately. I haven't done all that much interesting since my last post, except work and sleep and complaining about how cold it is for April. However, the snow has finally gone, and I'm covered in scratches from trying to make the yard tidy again. I have a bouquet of daffodils on my table, instead of a pile of snow ( Read more... )

Once again, I have lost track of a few weeks in there. I nearly missed the deadline for RRSPs - only managed to when I commented to my mother that I should do that sometime soon, only to have her point out that 4:15 on February 29th was pretty much as late as I could possibly be. Fortunately we were in the bank at the time, and I could run in and ( Read more... )

In case anyone was wondering, I didn't disappear for a month because I was still ill. Although I still have a bit of a cough. Mainly, I haven't posted because I have nothing interesting to say beyond '4 more hours of overtime, work has fallen even farther behind anyways'. I did 20 hours of overtime last week, which would have been fine if I ( Read more... )
