Wow, look at me acutally updating my blog more than once a season!
First week back to work was survived. The highlight was the launch of our new LGBT employee resource group. We had a launch party at MoneyPennies and everything! For those of you who are straight, not from Calgary, or both: MoneyPennies is a dyke bar. And by that I mean the endearing but definitively 'trucker hats manditory' kind of dyke bar. Not really my scene (I don't like having the longest hair in the bar!) but a thoroughy enjoyable place to hang out. Needless to say, as corporate events go, it was one of the better ones.
Along the same lines, our company has a tent at the Calgary Pride Festival/Parade this weekend, and I plan to be there with bells on. For starters, I want to see if the damn thing exists! Calgary Pride is kind of like...well...fairies (if you'll excuse the metaphor): everyone wants to believe they exist, but no one has ever actually seen it.
I'm sure there are more things I could say, but I just got home and I'm a little cognitivelly-impaired right now, so I'll save the eloquence and deep thoughts (HEY! I heard that snicker!) for the harsh light of tomorrow morning. Sweet dreams, everyone. Even I can't be cynical when I'm asleep, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to that.

I must admit, I love the idea of fleeing to the other side of the world. I just don't see it in my cards this year. I have one thing I need to do before I get on to all the other things I want out of my life, and if I try to start anything else right now (such as a new life in Ultimate Winter) I'll fail quite succinctly.
