  • So about that entry with substance.

    Seeing as, you know, I’ve got time now that I’m installing windows for someone. Woot and such. So for the first time in all of… hmm, maybe a week, I actually didn’t drag my ass out of bed before 7:00 this morning. By choice, even. I likes me my sleep… sue me. Ended up throwing things together for lunch, finding something to call clothing and still got here in plenty of time to not be late to work. And it’s been pretty well non-stop since then. With the exception of this morning’s break, which I caught up on paperwork and threw together something resembling a post on this here thing, I haven’t really been off the phone since I got here. Not complaining, it’s just… unusual. Yesterday and monday were pretty well, um, written off. So I was kinda hoping today’d be more of that. Not so much.

    The weather forecast does look like we’re gonna catch another pouring at some point today, so at least I won’t stick to myself when I get my lazy ass the hell home tonight. I love that apartment, but 3-4 days of 30+ degree temperatures plus top floor apartment? Yeah, not pretty. Note to Wall Mart: I am *so* not paying $300+ for a $80 AC unit, thankyamuch and die in a goddamn fire. Okay I’m over it now. And going back to actually doing my job. Hmm, I thought I said there’d be substance.

    • Oh, oh god. Busy. Ug.
    • Got up at like 7:00 or 7:15, threw myself together and called it a work morning. Shouldn’t of done that. Bed is good.
    • I have less than a minute of break left. more substance later.
    • Oh, yeah. Greyhound sucks sometimes.

  • Randomness ‘n such.

    In list format, because… eh. Because.

    • I can has burger. Free lunch is made of awesome. Free lunch that doesn’t involve having to go anywhere? Equally made of awesome.
    • … I also subsequently just so happened to have a second lunch, that I now call my afternoon snack. Forgetting your company’s holding a bbq is awesome.
    • I can’t hear squat outside from here. But apparently, we are getting that rain. Possibly even a thunderstorm. ‘Bout goddamn time.
    • Today is apparently another day of stupid calls. Note to customers: if you’re calling in to milk free repair work, you may want to keep your story straight. Moron. of. the. year.
    • Can I go home yet?
    ,

  • Bored. Ergo, meme.

    I got up at about 6:10, was promptly stuck to my bed (not due to lazyness for a change!), and then came into work to find out somebody I had call a customer back lastnight pretty much reversed everything I’d already done and did it his way. Needless to say today is not looking all too off to such a wonderfully glorious start. On the bright side, at 11:30 ISH or so I get free food! They’re throwing a thanks for coming out bbq today, so I officially didn’t necessarily have to pack anything. I did, though, ‘cuz well, I’m an idiot. Or maybe just because everyone needs an afternoon snack. Or… something.

    Oh, and random PS: Environment Canada, if Ottawa gets one more thunderstorm watch this week and no thunderstorm, I’m gonna raise some serious hell. Or, hey, can we settle for rain at least? I’m not entirely demanding…

    On the bright side, I can’t say it’s exactly been busy today. On the other hand… see subject line. Since I still can’t put the call I just got off of into words, I’m just gonna say this. It would take a hell of a lot less time to fix your computer if you’d stop interupting me every 5 minutes to vent about how you’ve been waiting 5 days already and don’t have time to wait anymore to have your computer fixed. Oh, my american friends, why do you mingle with such moronity?

  • Welp, I applied.

    And so did 67 other people. They’re looking for 60. Here’s hoping.

    Well, I was right about one thing. Made of win. We ended up checking out the downtown market for a couple hours, where a few things for supper were picked up as well as some things for the almost garden my cousin’s attempting to put together at her place. we then went back to said place, satisfiably stuffed ourselves, and did all manner of shooting the shit in the process; for the record, best way to kill the majority of an evening, like, ever. Then in one of those moments of “Ooh, good idea!”, we all decided to take a walk through a couple of the local park areas. for the record, even on a Sunday evening, both Andrew Hayden and Britania are hella crowded. These are good things to know. There was no swimming involved, although we probably could have easily pulled it off; for this early in June, the general consensus was next time, bathing suits will be worn. So now we’re starting to make semi-detailed plans for actually doing so in, say, 2 weeks or so. Which means I’ll more than likely not be nearly as white as I am in my current picture. That is, if we do it right.

    Things I did manage to learn, though, while making a day of doing whatever the hell came to mind:

    • You can, in fact, buy fresher than grocery store vegetables for about half grocery store prices.
    • Sometimes, walking past something is enough to make you decide that’s where you’re gonna be your next free weekend. None of this sitting at home making plans crap.
    • Even a blind guy can avoid being nailed by an oncoming football. His sighted cousin? Barely.
    , , , ,

  • A quicky, because I don’t plan to be here.

    That thing where I pack up and go on 30 seconds’ notice? Yeah, that’s me. Taking off for probably the better part of the day… I may or may not come back here to pass out afterwards. Pulling off all manner of crap with family is made of win. And hey, it may not end up being the endless stick we had yesterday.

    A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE

    THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE ABOVE

    REGIONS THIS AFTERNOON.  SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL

    TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.  TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS

    AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ALSO BE ASSOCIATED.

    And I’m gonna be out in it. That’s how you kill a weekend in the summer. I have the cell, and ’tis forwarded. People about whom I give a damn have the number. I are gone.

  • Because they don’t give me enough to think about at work. Or something.

    So I was walking out of the office yesterday, and the guy who used to be my manager before we did the mass departmental shuffle that saw me working where I am now catches up to me and the guy I was getting a lift with. We shoot the shit for a few minutes, then he gets around to telling us they’re thinking about basicly starting some form of premium support thing going on here, and are looking for folks who want to be a part of it. It won’t be a permanent thing by any means; it goes to like mid-September, but it’s a couple months more work. And considering I got this little bit of news, I’m giving semi-serious thought to taking it. I’m still futzing around with other applications anyway, but now there’s this little drop of good fortune to play with. They wanna know by 5:00 on monday, so I’ll… probably know by about 4:55 on monday. I love it when random shit catches my attention before the official email gets sent out.
