At Aikido last night my Sensei informs me that he wants me to test this weekend at UVIC. 
. I had not expected this nor do I feel I'm ready. I should be in England right now, not worrying about making an ass of myself in front of a bunch of people. I'm going to try anyways so it means I skip Iaido tonight to...

The first official day of my holidays and the weather has not cooperated in the least. I have these grandiose plans about how much stuff I'm going to do but some of it requires no rain. I am not going to an archery range at 6:30am to stand in the rain!!!
Unfortunately it looks like the rest of this week is going to be the...

The weather can be disagreeable... but at least you have numerous options..
And no... haven't recieved a decision on the role yet.. I just wanna know!
Anticipation is unfortunate.

I am now on holidays for two weeks, horray 
.Wished I was going to England for the wedding but it's not the end of the world that I'm not.
They couldn't have come at a better time. The week at work sucked!!! There was 3 hours of overtime every night. It's okay every once in awhile but when it's everynight it gets really draining when...

Hey, no worries. My only intent when posting in discussions like those is to just offer an objective voice from an environment a lot of people may not have had exposure with. I know I had my own misconceptions about the military years ago, just as I still probably have misconceptions about other groups today. I figure the best I can do is speak straight and keep an open mind for other peoples' viewpoints. I've read yours and Demetrius' words on the boards in the past, and I've never seen anything that would suggest you to be less than decent individuals. If the information I provided you with was of help, then... well... great!

Indeed there are not. Although my timeslot has changed..
2-3 pm Weds.

Waaayyyy to many people off of work this week. We're down two guys on Worker's Compensation and three guys on holiday. Add the missing people to the short week and you get overtime and lots of it. I pulled a 11 hour shift yesterday and a 10 hour one today. The boss has us coming in tomorrow early and has told us to expect overtime....

Went to the local Fringe Festival yesterday with Kris, the girl I saw AVP with a couple of weeks ago. We saw a show called The Rap Cantebury and it was what it sounds like, a rap version of The Cantebury Tales. The set up was the narrator had stowed away on a tour bus filled with famous rap artists and a furious mic battle...

Crazy at work today. Long weekend, too many people booked it off and that new guy crushed his foot this morning so he's off for a while. I left on time because I wanted to see my mum and brother off to the airport but everyone else was putting in overtime. I'll probably get in shit from the boss on Tuesday but I really don't...

It means a hell of a lot more to me to have you request my friendship. I didn't want to lose you. I am glad you didn't think I was being a bitch and took me back.
I ♥ you big time.

WOW, I hope that your weekend is working out, did you go to the show last night?
Waiting for my brother to stop by for dinner. He flew in from Alberta last night, gets packed and flies to England for the wedding on Friday(yes I'm jealous). It'll be good to see him and I'll finally be able to get the money for all the stuff he asked me to buy him off of Ebay. He's waaayyy worse than I am, it's almost...

it was the craziest thing. we got there and there was no line. zero. nothing. by the time someone came to seat us, there were a dozen people behind us and it stayed that way, with folks lining up outside, until the time we left. good kharma, i guess... or dumb luck.

I know what you mean. I was talking to my mom about my car situation and she had a hard time believing that I could live without a car. hehe
What I learned this weekend.
1)That Ancient Egyptian mummies are kind of creepy and that real hieroglyphics look way cooler than reproductions. This I learned at the Ancient Egyptian exibit on loan from the Royal museum to ours. Something rather unsettling looking at the mummified remains of a ten year old boy. I kept expecting it to open it's eyes and start pounding in the...

No go on the trip to England. 
The extra documents I'd sent were recieved back on July 27 and have been sitting in a department ever since. Supposedly whoever was meant to look at them has been on vacation and won't be able to look at the application untill Sept 1 at the earliest. I'm pretty frustated, not at anyone inparticular, but at the system...

Two weeks untill I was supposed to leave for England and still no word from the British High Commision in Ottawa.*sigh* I don't think I'm going after all which is disappointing because I was looking forward to going. My mum offered to phone them today to see what's going on with my application. Very sweet of her. This way I don't need to miss yet...
