It turns out that I have yet ANOTHER certification under my belt. PRINCE2! I'm now a certified Project Manager! How awesome is that!? Now, all I need to do now is become a permanent fixture on the Project's team. As soon as that happens, I'll get another pay raise! *laughing* Two pay raises in the vicinity of 2 months would be hilarious. It looks ( Read more... )

I just found out yesterday that my parents will be throwing a HUGE party on Aug. 12th. There will be fabulous live music and Public Broadcasting TV will be video taping it! We'll be on TV! *lol* Talk about awesome! Sam and I will be attending this event. Thank God I have the money to get the both of us over there. Its going to be pretty pricey, but ( Read more... )

Immaturity is one of my biggest pet peeves. This past week, I've been surrounded with it in my training classes and outside of training as well. All I have to say is that when people get offended, read between the lines first before assuming that any comment is about you personally.

Its about that time for me to post another entry in to my journal. Nothing too much has changed. I'm still going to work every day and have started going to the gym with Sam every night. I've found out that exercising before coming home has made me a much more pleasant person to be around. I've been able to work out all of my stress at the gym and ( Read more... )

I've come to realise that ten pin bowling has become a new obssession of mine. Starting almost two weeks ago, Sam and I had decided to go bowling and immensely enjoyed our time together bowling balls at poor defensless pins. We've gone atleast 5 times since then and have made a decision that we're going to join the Classic Doubles League in Milton ( Read more... )

I attended Sam's weight mgmt appt. today and had read over her book for Week 7. There is one section that talks about Workaholics. To my disbelief, every single bullet point described me to a tee. What was worse was the outcomes of workaholics. Their relationships with their partners deteriorate, they bring work home, and they start isolating ( Read more... )
