Nothing really new...

Yup. Nothing really new.

Talked to Andrea the other day, we're gonna hang out sometime this week. Or Sunday. I consider a week to be seven days from Sunday to Saturday unlike someone I know. No names.

Shaun is working out well. We have a routine starting already, since we both leave at the same time in the morning.

Other than that nothing much is up.

New roommate.

Well, Shaun is now officially moving in. So we will be four soon.

Which means cheaper rent.

Which means I may actually HAVE some disposable income. Yay.

I love my Meggo lots. Don't know why I added that, but I did.

Things are getting better, more closely resembling some form of a life.

I should put something in the writing blog I made, but I have been lazy and kinda busy. So...

Thats about it right this sec...

Later all!

My word for the day: BELLIGERENT

I dunno why it bothered me so much.

Kevin comes up to me and tells me he is going to the CMX tomorrow with Dave (my boss). What had been passed onto me was that I was going tomorrow with Mike.

Now since both Kevin and I work at the counter, where the majority of the day to day sales are, and since there is only 4 staff for said counter, it is not practical to say the least, that both of us go at the same time.

So I point out that Mike and I are going tomorrow, and that we cannot both leave and that my (or rather Mike's) plans pre-existed his. He says to me that he had already talked to Dave long ago (implying that his plan pre-existed mine) and that he could not go on Friday because of some other (non-work related) plans. And then stated that I had to change my plans.

Now I think I've gotten it down to 3 things:

a)Despite his implication that his plans pre-existed my own, he had made plans with Dave just before he spoke to me about it.

b)It is not my issue that he cannot go on Friday because of non-work related issues. I know, it is kinda callous of me to say I don't give a flying fuck what he's got going on outside, but when we're talking about work, I really don't.

c)I just really, really didn't like him flatly saying "Change YOUR plans", I mean, what kind of attitude is that? I mean, if he had been a little more, I dunno...concilliatory I wouldn't have been so put off.

So in general it has put me into an admittedly bitchy mood, which I am not sure how to alleviate.

Onto other things. Not really any more important than bitching about a guy I work with, but hey, I'll keep going anyways.

The Veissmann training went well. I am now somewhat familiar with their product line, which does seem decent, though expensive.

Got pretty loaded on Monday night. One of the contractors wanted to drink and so I was like "sure" so he bought some beer and rum...I ended up drinking 1/2 a 40 oz. of rum with him.

I also learned a bit more about heating systems and controls, which was neat, and I have a much better grasp on heating systems now, so point acheived.

I will be going to CMX some point this week, and next month I am going to a Tekmar seminar, and I've been informed I will be going to Lancaster (I have no idea where in the states they are) and Triangle Tube too at some point, to learn about thwir boilers. And possibly NTI as well, so its all cool.

And right now I am ignoring a guest, so I will end this here.

Lates all!

Good times were had by some?

Well, the week is ending. Going to Cobourg this weekend, so I can see my boy and for an appointment.

After coming back from that, I am going on a business trip to Waterloo for a few days.

And later that week I have the CMX to go to apparently. (Which is a trade show for Plumbing/Heating)

And I've realized now that if thngs go the way that we want them to, the same weekend as Ad Astra, I may be moving Shaun as well.

This month is turning out to be busy.

Read books 1, 3 and 4 of the Anita Blake Novels, as well as finishing the "Black Jewel Trilogy" by Anne Bishop.

Right now I am reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by some author or another.

Its a weird book. But interesting.

Finally made my quote unquote writing blog, which has nothing in it thus far. I am lazy after all.

Hmmm...thats about it.

Lates all!

Mr. K strikes again!

The man who still states he doesn't like bloggers has actually made a second one (the other one now defunct)has made a new one, so go check it out all of you!

It has the same name, so the link name hasn't changed, its "The Politics of Being Good"

There's some good writing on there, he's trying to record some of his experiences, and thoughts into a more tangible format, and exploring his creativity, so again, I suggest you check it out.

They may seem long, but once you get into it, its hard to stop reading one of his stories.

Other than that, nothing really new.

I'm feeling kinda depressed. I feel like I'm in some sort of limbo or something. I feel out of my element when there's nothing changing. I have a routine even, so I am not sure how you can develop feelings of being "out of element" but its still there. Has been for a long time.

I get upset easily sometimes, and then other times, absolutely nothing effects me. I have a fight with my girlfriend at least once a week. Even that is almost routine. Scary.

Life is just so weird sometimes. Or maybe your perception of it is, I'm not really sure. I feel distant from myself. Like nothing is as it should be. I'm not unahppy, but neither am I happy. I just sort of exist most of the time, without any real feeling or inclination towards most things.

I miss some people. Sometimes I feel like I am not even acting like myself. I avoid people. Sometimes I have moments when I feel like I am really here.

Ugh. I'm gonna stop writing this now, so people won't write me hate mail.

Hey all...

Not much new. Getting back into things a little.

I'm re-reading "Daughter of the Blood" by Anne Bishop, which is an absolutely phenominal series (The Black Jewel Trilogy)

Getting the creative juices flowing again.

Um, work is going well.

I'm actually going on a business trip on the 20th and 21st, overnight to Waterloo to go to Viessman (sp?) training, which is cool.

I'm sooo stupidly poor right now its ridiculous. Things SHOULD straighten out before the end of the month though, which is good, so I can finally start paying people back.

Um...other than that, not much new.
