Hmm, tomorrow night, St Patrick's day (yeah, saturday, not the 17th) at McKibbin's Irish Pub.

I'll be the bloke in black drinking Smithwick's. Should be fun. I'm supposed to collect some money this week-end too.

Yay! er... Slinte!

So I'm still looking for work.

Im somewhat getting involved a few other projects.

I'm nearing broke-ness. Thank for MasterCard.

I've been going out a bit more.

And I've also put my loud mouth to maximum level. Anyone working in IT can expect a rapid-fire shooting of "Cool, What do you Do? Are they hiring? *wink wink*."

I might go hiking tomorrow, that would be...

I had an interesting productive day. I worked on a project to implement a wifi hotspot captive portal for authentication. Fairly fun stuff and I hammered out the core design today with the other guys.

I may or may not get a lead on a job in Ottawa, who knows.

Heeey, Ottawa, rock on smile


Yea, I think it was just that I was distracted. Though that doesn't really explain the shattering glass or burning vacuum.... but still. I hope it's just distraction and not my appliances out to get me!! tongue

I had a blast from the past last night. I was out playing pool with a few friends at a large pool hall and the waitress at the bar recognized me from High School.

It's kind of funny because I went to high school outside of Montreal and it's been a good 3 years since I saw anyone from there.

In high school, I didn't...

i've never been a fashionista. and was never into make-up. that is, until i moved to toronto. not that i feel an overwhelming need to conform since moving to the big city, but shopping here is... well... kinda fun. capitalism is evil, yes. but sometimes playing dress up is worth being part of the machine. just for a day or two.

As of friday, I'm unemployed, probably not for very long (I hope). If they pay me, I'm allright. If they decide they can default, well, I'm fucked. I sent out a few CVs and I need to call some friends.

Life as a contractor sure is exciting.

yes, i very much enjoyed today. we went to the beaches, which is an area that i have heard so much about but never been to. it was wonderful. the sky was so blue and the water looked lovely (from a distance that is, it is lake ontario after all).
oryx:
i wouldn't swim in it, personally. but if you do and you survive, i'll buy you a beer!
