If I see one more box!!!

MOVING DAY TODAY. It feels a little surreal this morning — Probably not because it’s moving day, but probably because I only got three hours sleep last night. I’ve now slept my last sleep on that horribly uncomfortable couch I’ve been on for the past week — Jen (Peechie) bought my bed, and [...]

I did it… I spent money.

A lot of money. I went out and purchased the first livingroom set that I sat in and liked the feel of. I ended up heading out of work early for a bit, and drove (thanks for the use of your car, Jer!!) down to INspiration on W.6th — And, this is what [...]

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

WAHOO!!!
I pick up the keys to my new place today. I’m so excited that I can hardly stand it.
Now, I just need to go and damn-well pick out furniture and stop being such a nutbar about spending money. It’s only money!!
Hey — Don’t forget to vote for the housewarming idea on the sidebar. [...]

Looking forward to…

I start my BC Safety Council course tomorrow night — It’s the theory part of the course for three solid hours, before I move on to the main, practical part of my motorcycle training. I’m a little panicked, because I haven’t written the exam for the class 6 learner’s license yet, and I need [...]

Yep!

…Packing sucks the big one.
And, I can’t seem to make a choice on furniture options. I need a whole bunch of stuff, yet, I’m dragging my feet on decisions because I haven’t found exactly what I want yet. You wouldn’t think that spending big money on home furnishings would be so difficult, yet [...]

…It’s FRIDAY!!!

I work with a bunch of freeks. They have been testing on-hold systems here at work, and they’ve got the speakerphones turned up at full volume, playing ice cream truck style music to test the system. Forget the lovely Diana Krall that I had ripped for the system — Noooo — ICE CREAM [...]

I feel so much better today!

Woo! What a difference a day makes!
I got a good night sleep. One of my projects has been delayed until Monday as there’s another video coming via courier to add to it tomorrow, and my other client that I was so stressed about is considering hiring a new designer for her project. [...]

You’re all off the hook!

Last night, on my way home from the office, I dropped into my new place to do some quick measuring as I’m currently shopping for living room furniture… And, on my way out, I went to schedule the move with the building security. To my horror, I was told that there are no moves [...]

*Yawn*

…And, off to bed I go. Hey, at least I get 2 hours sleep this morning.
Yes: I. Am. A. Lunatic.
Next week’s projects will not require me to completely give up my life.
Oh. Wait. I’m moving next week.
Nevermind.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I’m feeling more than slightly stressed these past few days. There’s simply too much going on with me right now, and I’m doing my best not to panic. (Don’t panic Tanya… It’s just life)
One of my aquaintances is completely pissed with me right now because her project has been delayed. There’s no [...]

Welcome, once again… FRIDAY Silliness!

It certainly doesn’t feel like a Friday to me, as I’m working all weekend. (Blech) But, in the spirit of the day, here’s this week’s Friday Silliness!
I have two this week… CLICK HERE to see why us chicks should think twice before kissing boys.
And, CLICK HERE for a funny beer commercial.
HAPPY FRIDAY, everyone! [...]

Apparently 2 hours sleep doesn’t cut it

You know that feeling when your world buzzes around you? Everything feels a bit surreal, and a tad off kilter? That’s me today.
I finally got to sleep at 5:15am or so, only to have to be OUT of bed by 8:00am — The human body really needs more rest than that. Unfortunately, [...]

XML, Smechzemel!

Dammit. I HATE learning at this hour. I’m currently learning how to parse an XML file which will deliver content to a rich media, (nicer way to say dynamic/interactive) flash-based, cd-rom that I have to have ready to distribute on Tuesday.
Honestly, I do this to myself. I should just bloody-well populate all [...]

It’s about time to get up close and personal with my deadlines!

Time for another all-nighter. I haven’t had to do this in a while!
Yep, work is piling up, so I have to work through the night to catch up on a project that is due tomorrow. Gotta love being sick.
I had a nap after work, and now I think I’m ready to get into [...]

I’m BORED…

)!(@#$!@(*#&$
I want to be working.
I can’t work. My head hurts. In fact, so does my entire body.
I want cuddles.
I’m stressing about the work that I can’t do. I’m bored to tears. How do people just sit at home all day and watch tv???!??! BLECH. I want to [...]

I’m ill…

I’ve come into the office only to help with a small problem, and now I’m going home. I haven’t felt like death like this in a very long time. Yesterday and today I really felt like I was hit by a car, and ate something bad all at the same time.
Here’s hoping that [...]

Friday Silliness…

A guy sent me this. Although I’m a chick, I can definitely see the humour in it:
WOMEN’S ENGLISH:
1. Yes = No
2. No = Yes
3. Maybe = No
4. We need = I want
5. I am sorry = You’ll be sorry
6. We need to talk = You’re in trouble
7. Sure, go ahead = You better not
8. [...]

Billiards 101

I forgot how much I suck at pool, until Roger eagerly reminded me by whipping my sorry ass at several games last night at SoHo. Y’know, Jeremy did patiently teach me the skills necessary to sink a ball quite some time ago, but somehow since then and without practice, I’ve gone back to being [...]

On the road again!

Okay, don’t sing out loud. I can hear my Dad singing that, and it actually kinda frightens me…
I’m buying a motorcycle! I have no idea which one I’m buying yet, but I’d like it to be primarily red. Yep, just like a woman to pick the colour before the model, hey? [...]
