Home.

And exhausted.

So my road trip is one sleep away. Im rather excited, even though we might only be staying one night now, instead of two. I just want to shop!

I think the dogs know that Im leaving. Well, the little dog especially. Since I got home tonight, she's been stuck to me. Even now that Im in bed, she's pressed up against me, and she never comes to bed with me, she usually sleeps on the floor in Mom's room. The big dog, of course, was also stuck to me, being as how one dog cannot get attention without the other dog wanting more. Worse than little kids...

I saw Revenge of the Sith this weekend and I thought it was good. Also related: Hayden Christensen is my new celeb crush (bonus points that he's Canadian).

Last Saturday was Boyfriend's 23rd birthday, and Sunday we were together 4 years. That's a long time.

Thursday of this week is exactly one year since my accident. I, of course, will spend it driving unfamiliar roads.

So for a lark I put ads by Google in that there left pane. Apparently if people click on them I get paid. They were advertising them on the Blogger dashboard and I applied for the helluvit. Im not looking to turn a profit, nor am I expecting anyone to actually click on anything. I just did it for something to do.

I have a super vusy weekend this weekend. I have to get up at the crack of dawn both tomorrow and Saturday. (crack of dawn = before noon) I will be some busy come Sunday, when I'll be lucky to watch the season finale of Desperate Housewives and then crash.

Five days until Halifax!

Okay, so I was reading this article and it states:

The dark underside of the United States has taken center stage in several films at Cannes this year, capped on Monday with a scathing attack of past and present racism in America by Danish director Lars von Trier.

and

There are a number of other films that examine dark and depressing aspects of the United States and "American Dream" losers, filled with violence, drugs and alcohol abuse. They were made by directors from the United States, Canada and Europe.

and the rest of the article just goes on to talk about the movies playing. So, my point is that on the Drudge Report, Matt Drudge's headline is "American way of life attacked in films in Cannes". So... the "American way of life" is racism, violence, drugs, and alcohol abuse? It makes me vomit that if anyone portrays the US in a bad light they're "attacking the American way of life". No wonder most of the world has a grudge against the US.

One thing that I dont understand is why people in North America think that its alright for kids to be exposed to graphic violence on television, in movies, and in videogames; but its not alright for kids to be exposed to any kind of nudity or sexual content.

Its Friday the 13th!

Yes, this is just dawning on me now, but when your "morning" is at 3pm, you're allowed to be a little slow on the uptake sometimes.

If you dont like the weather in Cape Breton, wait 5 minutes. Or, in today's case, probably a half an hour. This afternoon it was like twenty-five degrees Celsius, I was debating wearing flip-flops to work. At 7:30pm it was snowing. Yes, that's right, SNOWING outside. Its the goddamned middle of May and we had snow.

I have not been feeling well lately. Well, this is the third week. Normally when I feel like Im catching something, I get sick within two or three days and then Im sick for up to a week, then better. This dragging on is killing me. When Im at work, if I dont have a candy or coughdrop in my mouth at all times, my throat is really sore. Im tired all the time, and always freezing cold. To top that off, my ears are sore, especially my left one, and my back and shoulders are sore like Im getting the flu. I cant take much more of this, Im going to have to call my doctor and make an appointment to see if he can figure out what's wrong with me.

But on a happy note, exactly fourteen days until Halifax.

The best line I've heard in a while: Canada is kind of like America, just with a better spam filter. Amazing!

SHIT!

Its Mother's Day and I had set my alarm to get up at 11am so that I could see Mom before she went to work, but I woke up at 11:50am so obviously I missed her. I'll have to yell at someone for not waking me up.

I went to the Safe Grad Auction (for the local high school) yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Mom kept poking me in the back for bidding on stuff, especially when it was something that both Paul and I wanted and were bidding against each other. I ended up coming home with some sort of hair brush that moves while I blowdry instead of me having to turn the brush myself. It only cost me $12 when it was worth something like $30. Paul got a flashlight that he could easily use to jack deer or land airplanes. Plus we had free wings and a drink with each ticket, so I left the place all fat and bloated. I had a blast!

Oh, and I highly recomment playing Naked Nintendo with someone you dont mind being naked with. It's fun ;) Especially when you're playing a game like Mario Party that's all turn based. I will say nothing more on the subject. ...Try it!

I've been realizing lately that Im old. I mean, I was born in 1981! Its so weird that Im actually too old to hang out with people who are just hitting legal drinking age. Im going to be twenty-four years old in less than two months. Twenty-four years old! Its really depressing me. I mean, Im supposed to be all grown up now, and just look at me. Bleck!

MY DAYS OFF GOT APPROVED!!!!! Halifax is fo' sho!. I only reapplied for my days off yesterday and they're actually approved. It totally made my day :D

Halifax is in 23 days! I reapplied for my days off (3rd time's a charm!) today in hopes that my supervisor will approve them and send them to Ops planning. Ops will then deny them, in which case my supervisor will forward them to his supervisor, whom I hope will approve them.

We had bigwigs in at work today. My supervisor was supposed to be sitting on of them with me to listen to my calls, but he didnt and Im glad. They were dialing into the queue from downstairs and listening live, and then they came upstairs and two of them sat with guys on my team. I know my team was the only one to have them listening, I think because our AHT* is really low.

I've actually been working to get my quality scores up at work, and my break times down. I think I'll be better at quality than break times. Once I get off the phone its just so hard to get back on. I HATE taking calls on that contract. Scratch that, I hate taking calls period. I think I need a nice 9am-5pm office job. Yeah... an office job...

Its after 5am, Im JUST getting home from a night out drinking, and I still have to play on the computer before I go to sleep. Sad I tell ya.
