Normally when I think about going to the dentist it's generally a mix of fear, loathing and the memory of a kind of pain that just can't be described with pale words or interpretive dance with screaming.

I went to the local convenience store to stock up on a very large number of beverages...because that's how i roll. Gatorade, red bull, rockstar, natural soda...and whatever other shiny can attracts my attention. I had a girlfriend who used to call me "Beverage Boy."

Okay, so finding sushi in vancouver is like throwing a rock in a gravel pit...it's easy to do...they're freaking everywhere. Finding an excellent sushi place is only slightly more difficult.

In the category of "communication" I put "met expectations." To my mind it's actually impossible to "exceed" expectation in this arena. How can anyone ( Read more... )

Okay, So my three month review at work is coming up tomorrow. I'm super nervous. More than anything I want someone to recognize that I exceed expectations. I know this is possible, there's a check box for it in the evaluation form. Thinking it was today, i ate the last of my anti-anxiety medicine. I'm screwt. I did however go down the street and ( Read more... )
