I'm in Toronto. The weather is abyssmal and I feel as if I've entered the rainforest. But the work is easy and the living is free so I wander on.
Please don't call me on the cell until Friday since the long-distance charges could kill me. I have it on strictly for work purposes. Email, however, I am checking regularly and I would love to hear from all my fun friends. If you aren't fun then don't email me. I mean it!
If you know of anyone in Toronto that might want to see me please let me know and I'll try to arrange a meeting. In the meantime, I'm just keeping it real.

OK, so my boss likes me, he likes my work (for the most part) and I got a 10% raise. But there were other things said that were not so much positive as different and I'm still not sure what I am going to do about it.
They want me to change my career path slightly and become an estimator for them. This would mean a lot more schooling (which is probably the most exciting part) but also starting fresh again. The good thing would be that I will be responsible for a lot more of the company's outreach and it will give me an opportunity to schmooz with all kinds of people. Networking people, Networking.
So I guess that I will follow the estimating path. There isn't enough estimating to do it full time but I'll give it a try and still do my own work. I'm so un-busy right now that I think of calling in sick every day. Today I did that but just for the morning. When I got here at noon I still had no messages, faxes, or new work to do. So now I am blogging.
I would be much happier right now if I was busy at work.

It's evaluation day today. Today is the day, dudes. If I blog later today looking for a new job it's because I was too agressive. If I blog later to tell you that the entire world are fuckers it means that they weren't generous enough. If I don't blog later today then I am satisfied or too busy to whine.
I am looking for a 100% increase but I'm willing to take as low an increase as 25%. Let's be honest here, I'd take 12% if it was offered to me. I'll let y'all know what I get when I get it.

Some of you may notice the slight change to the blog that occured today. I was told that the comments stopped working so I wanted to change to comments on blogger itself. But I know nothing about HTML so in the end I just chose a new template and started over. The posts are all still here but alas, you comments are all gone. I'm sorry folks but there was no way around it. Comment again if you like but know this: I took your comments to heart whenever it suited me.
Cheers,
Cheers,
testing!
I have another great weekend to post about! Can you believe it? Two great weekends in a row? Yowza!
So a couple of my friends were in town this past weekend from far-off destinations. Houston and Ottawa. And there was also that Colour Night thingy. Thursday first: nothing to report. Friday: I leave work early, drink a rootbeer, Raynna comes over to be my colour night date, convinced to not go to Colour Night, go for AYCE sushi at Sushi Ichiban, Go to D. Rassin's house, spend rest of night reminiscing and doing crazy shit. Fall into bed. Saturday: Do not leave bed, text Barb numerous times about how sick she is and how wiped out I am, settle on no plans at all. Sunday: See a movie with Gene (Lucky Number Slevin), go for beers with Raynna and David, go home and watch worst actress ever (Brittany Murphy) in good premise for a movie (Uptown Girls), fall into bed again.
So, to recap, I saw lots of the Houstonian, had drinks with him and had plenty of good times. I saw none of the Ottawhite (Tee Hee) probably mostly due to ditching Colour Night, am sad about that but I hope I get some pictures of the night for my viewing pleasure.
Barb! Where are you? Oh well, I live on. So that was my weekend. Michelle was surprisingly absent and incommunicado. Tasha was hanging out with Barb, and Barb was puking in her hoodie. Chris was drinking at the Garage when I was too ill to move from my mattress.
I hope I've done the weekend justice. I will let you know about the coming weekend as soon as it happens.
