This wasn’t the kind of report I wanted to see coming out of Leaf Nation this afternoon. Couple that with the possibility of Sundin going to Montreal? I think I’ve been suckerpunched. Twice. Will breathe later. Now, will resist the urge to switch to being a Senators fan. Okay, urge resisted. Breathing now.

- 07:41 Awake. Somewhat. #
- 09:02 Poured myself in a cab, got here half an hour late. But I only have to do that once more. #
- 10:29 I just got told Canada and the US being one country is coming. Um, do folks in the US even read the news/pay attention to politics? #
- 10:29 @samari76 Ah, so that’s all it takes. *grins* #
- 13:34 @samari76 Nokia 6682 is win! #
- 13:35 So lemme get this straight. You want to run Windows. Off an external drive. Via USB? … What? #
- 15:03 Lurnch! Finally! Yay sub! #
- 17:53 Oh. Oh dear god. Trafic is fail. Epic fail. #
- 18:15 Home, incredibly lazy, and incredibly indifferent. Sounds like the perfect TV watching mindset. #
- 04:23 I should so not be having that much fun. It apparently keeps me awake. #

Lazily dead tuesday.
It’s official. Somebody’s been smiling on us up and over here. I’m on lunch for another 10 minutes or so, and thanks largely to the call that just wouldn’t end, I also have a break coming to me about half an hour after I get off said lunch. I ended up ordering a couple subs last night; that whole being too lazy to microwave anything, and all that. One became lunch today, and damn. Even refridgerated it’s awesome. I’ll say this for local eats. Georgie’s Pizza may kinda suck at the whole pizza making thing, someone over there can put together a good sub. They officially rival Subway. Yay for rivaling subway!
… I had a point when I started this entry. It ran away from me. I think it had something or another to do with it being quieter than usual again today, and tomorrow being my last full day here. Yeah, that’s gotta be it. Or something.

Uh, huh?
I just got an education from this guy who’s computer I’m suspecting isn’t broken but he wants it looked at anyway. Apparently there’s a highway being built from Mexico city, up through Texas, and all the way to Canada. And apparently it’s all gonna be one country. It’s coming, don’t ya know. Because, you know, the US requires passports and blacklists on principle anyone they wanna get all chummy chummy with and make up the world’s second continental country. What happened to some of these people? Can somebody please just sort of do that thing where they give me a clue?

Zzzzz.
So I ended up crawling out of bed at about 7:30. No big thing. Threw lunch together and got here in plenty of time to be half an hour late. I will, undoubtedly, make it up at some point this week. I did learn what time I have to be here though for the returning of things that belong not to me and the picking up of a severence package that does belong to me. Fortunately it’s not ’til 11:00 on friday. Unfortunately, it means I’m not doing a whole lot of sleeping in if the plan is to bus there and back. Sigh. Well, on the positive-ish side, I can do a little tiny bit of sleeping in. I may be inclined, though, to just cab it there and back. Or something. And then promptly go back to bed. For now, though, I pay me some attention to this here call. Anyone want a computer illiterate person who has no clue how to tell me if he’s in Windows or not?

- 06:47 I thought it was a bus. I was mistaken. It can diaf. Ooh, but that one is! Yay! Again! #

- 07:11 Dead standstill. Craptastic. #
- 07:31 At Terry Fox station. It’s definitely raining. Didn’t miss my second bus though, which is bloody amazing. #
- 07:41 If there’s a long red light anywhere on this bus route, I think I’m destined to hit it. #
- 08:11 In Kanada proper now. Between bus stop and work. This rain can die in a fire. #
- 08:24 Officially at work, and soaked. Good morning. #
- 09:06 Ooh, I can twitter from work! I may not go insane! #
- 10:11 @chellenator This not sleeping until you should be awake thing’s catching, y/n? #
- 10:20 @chellenator You’ll note at no point did I say it was a bad thing, though. 😀 #
- 10:37 Why is it those who know nothing about computers are the first to play with task manager? #
- 11:36 … so I’ll just sit here all day, reinstalling windows. #
- 15:31 I has road trippin’ informations! Now I just need to convince someone to do the road trippin’. #
- 15:40 We apparently has some serious thunders outside. I left the bedroom window open. Oops. Moving on. #
- 16:30 Why is it people feel the need to call me and not leave a goddamn message? Anyone? Give me a clue? #
- 17:47 Ha. Thunderstorm watch, and I pick now to walk home. That’s me for you. #
- 18:00 At the bus stop, and the sun’s still out. Already an improvement. #
- 18:14 Bus is officially late. #
- 18:21 Bus is here. Finally. I’m so ordering supper tonight. Too lazy to microwave. #
- 18:46 Well that was boring. Storm watch is over. #
- 18:55 One down, one to go. And it’s taking its sweet time. #
- 19:16 Finally getting somewhere. And it’s still awesome walking home weather. #

- 20:04 Kids + baseball + awesomely nice evening = best after work medication ever. #
- 03:04 I fail at staying up late. Bed time. #

I just remembered what I love about this neighbourhood.
From about mid-October or early November to mid to late March, the neighbourhood where I live is pretty much a dead zone. I mean, understandably; no one in their right mind would willingly risk prolonged exposure to -20 degree temperatures. But it’s just such a huge freaking difference between that and, for instance, what I walked past coming home today. I almost wished for maybe 3 seconds I could see well enough to take a picture or two. Which, would require that I first be able to see at all, but that’s only a minor technicality. I must have walked past at least 3 different baseball games on the way home. All pretty well on the same street, too. Kinda gave the city a little of the small town feel in a way. Which is kinda nice, considering that’s sort of the environment I spent most of my life in (millitary bases were pretty much just small towns with actual purpose for the most part). And that particular street’s usually quiet enough if you’re lucky, you could walk down it towards my place and maybe count on one hand the cars that pass by you. If it wasn’t for the fact I’m fucking starving and didn’t really feel much like standing around, I’d of just kinda hung around and listened for a few minutes. Because really, it’s the often not noticed crap like that that only confirms moving here when I did for the reasons I did turned out to be a damn good thing. Not that I need the confirmation, but it’s always nice just the same.

You can tell it’s closing time.
Very rarely lately are there above 10 people waiting for calls over the lunch hour. There are now 30. Not complaining in the slightest, just… it’s kind of odd. It’s kinda like even the people calling in are backing off a little for our last week here while we get things ready to close the doors on this department for good technically on thursday, and officially on friday. I don’t think I’ve had a day this quiet in a while. Certainly not a monday. Mind you, next monday’s gonna be quieter… yay for the sleeping in ’til noonish. Or something.

Which way’s up, again?
On the bright side, I didn’t end up oversleeping this morning. On the not so bright side, I was damn near late anyway. On more than one occasion I think the lights were stuck in you don’t go anywhere mode. We ended up sitting at a few of them for upwards of 5 minutes or so. Which, okay, once or twice wouldn’t be too much hell on my schedule. But it was enough of a problem that if the bus I had to transfer to wasn’t also late, I’d of been waiting for the next one. And subsequently significantly on the late side. It decided it was gonna piss out there this morning on top of that, so by the time I got to work I was a little dripping. I think somebody out there’s try’na tell me I should have just called in sick today, but, y’know. They’re looking for excuses not to pay out severence packages, and I’m 3 days shy of getting mine. I can manage. Or something. Besides, it was easily made up for last night. Very good, and very long conversation will tend to do that. I actually think, for a monday, this isn’t gonna turn out all that badly. So long as it doesn’t get insane over here in the next couple hours.
