August 2005
Expect the Unexpected
My coworkers have been mocking my shoes.
Because they're high-tops.
Bonus Link for the truly bored:
Burnout 3 - Worst crash ever. That's Patricia on the bottom.
Back
We're back in Annapolis Royal. Counting the days 'til we can leave again.
Next Stop Toronto
Well, technically Ottawa, but Toronto soon after.
So....angry...
I'm sitting here, listening to a remix of Balrog's stage theme, that is so good, it can melt a man's brain with pleasure, and it's just gotten to the best part. I should be a happy man.
But no.
That's the exact moment Bagpipes start up next door.
Bagpipes.
Next Door.
Then again, they also set off cannons. That was sort of cool.
Finally
I actually officially have next week off, with pay, even. Wow. Part of me is actually a little disappointed.
Tried to call my brother to wish him a happy birthday, but evidently he's not picking up his phone. Happy Birthday Jeff!
With only 2 days of work left for the next week and a half, I find myself wanting to just nap through the next two days. But I can't. I have to 'coach' my team lead tomorrow night. What a fantastic prize.
Once again, party at my parents' place on August 20th. If you're reading this, come on by. I'm only in town for a week and a bit, and I want to see as many people as I can during that time. Just don't be retarded, bring your bathing suit, some food, and booze if you want it.
Confirm your attendance (and maybe what you're bringing) in the appropriate thread on J's message boards
Tired...
My eyes hurt.
Convergys has seen fit to probably give me some time off, so I'll likely still have a job when I return on the 24th. That's...a...good...thing...I guess?
Saw Batman Begins at King's theatre last night. It's not quite the Colosseum, but it'll do nicely. Thought it was pretty good. A good mix of Batman: Year One with, I'd assumed Year Two, but apparently I was wrong on that count. Also watched Steamboy, which was pretty, but that's about it. And overly dark, which sucks when your TV is located in front of a window.
Work sucks
Convergys is screwing me around. Regardless, I'll still be coming to Toronto August 15th-23rd. Party at my parents' place August 20th. If you're reading this, and know where the party is, you're probably invited.
I think the town blew half it's annual budget on Fireworks over the last 3 weeks. Some very cool fireworks done blowed up.
