Today I realized that I have to go back to school, preferably university... even if they expect me to pay for it. I'm gonna try to go back to STU in the fall and take a year to finish my honours. I'll write a thesis, re-take advanced theory, and possibly some other classes for which I rightfully earned failing grades. This may include Heidegger. The...

synnove:
yeah i haven't heard back from ankh yet... i just emailed her again to see what time, if any, is good for her.

Bluh, update.
I don't like my job much. My feet hurt all the effing time. And I'm always broke despite the fact that I work constantly. We fired somebody this week, so I didn't get a day off this week. I tried to entice ankh to come work with me, but no dice. Also if we don't hire somebody, like, tomorrow, I'm not getting a...

sorry i haven't gotten back to you about going out for coffee this weekend.... i've been dealing with major bullshit at work all weekend.
you know how i've been having problems with c, right? well... she went and opened one of my paystubs to see how much i was getting paid. she says it was already open, which is bs, because it's no where to be found. today i find out her mom has access to payroll, and was probably behind the entire thing. so c freaked out because i'm getting paid more than she is... and they're not even FIRING her for going through my fucking personal info. i have to wait to see what my manager talked to her about today after i left. my schedule got all switched around so i wouldn't have to work with her, because i'd fucking kill her. if i go in to work tomorrow and she hasn't quit or been fired, i'm quitting.
that's the jist of it. i'm so fucking livid right now it's not even funny. so i've been insanely stressed and upset since saturday about all of this. so who knows, i may be jobless as of tomorrow, which will be nice... especially if i can get the graphic design job after xmas. it'd be a well deserved break, and i'd have lots of time to go out for coffee!

Long awaited 20 Things About Me
1. I'm obsessed with giand squids. I have no interest in biology, other than that, but I cannot get enough of shows on the Discovery Channel about cephalopods, especially the elusive giant squd. Did you know that no one has ever captured live adult? Sometimes they catch babies, but they don't live long in captivity. A lot of what...

I seriously don't know how it happened, but I got [nearly] everything I wanted for my birthday as listed in my previous entry:
* My folks and my Grandma each gave me $50... which I will likely spend on groceries and comfy shoes for work
* My folks also took me out for a good meal
* My band did not suck last night. There...

Happy birthday, even if I'm a few days late. 
atomh8:
That is awesome, but your book is still better. Let me know how it is, cause it sounds really interesting. 
I cleaned out my wallet last night. I mostly found ATM receipts and expired coupons. These are now spread out on my desk around my keyboard and mousepad. I also found a set of receipts from the last time I had sushi. They charged me $1.50 for green tea, $2.75 for edamame, $14.95 for bento, and I gave Helene a $5 tip. That was in...

Uncookies
I am a peanutbutter cookie retard. They are my favourite cookie, I especially like the ones from Tim Horton's. Synnove made these really good ones a few weeks ago with Hershey's Kisses in them. Soon after I tried to make some with a mix from the grocery store, and they were burned on the bottom. I made some more tonight from the same mix,...

1. As I said in yesterday's post, I got a part time job at UNIC. I start tonight at 5:00.
2. As I also said yesterday, I had an interview at Chapters today. I think it went pretty well, mainly because I knew what I was in for (eg: group interview) and the other applicants clearly didn't. Poor fuckers.

1. I got hired on the spot at UNIC this morning. I was walking around the mall handing out resumes, and I noticed my former regional manager from Bentley helping set up this year's Xmas kiosk. Something posessed me to march up to her and announce that I needed a job, so she gave me one. About 30 hours a week, and I start tomorrow...

Update
Thanksgiving was pretty fucking awful. My mom and I made each other cry a whole bunch and then she took me shopping for clothes at Wal-Mart because I needed some and had no money.
I talked to my brother on the phone who told me that he has a Franken-laptop lined up for me. The guy is just trying to find a functioning battery...

Holidays with family strife suck.
This guy I've met at parties a couple of time makes really cool video art out of porn. You can see it here. He also has a sex blog here. I tried to show it to Bob but he said, "I don't want to know those things about Phil!"
