Going home tomorrow

Hey folks! I'm super pumped because I'm going home for xmas tomorrow. I hope it doesn't snow too much tonight so that the roads are drivable. Today has been such a weird day. Because it got so dark out so early, it totally threw off my sense of time. It felt like I was at work until 9pm when really it was only 5pm. Even right now it feels like its like 4am and really its 11pm. Its such a weird feeling. Oh well. Work has been going well. I'm acing all of my tests, so far my average is 92% which isn't too shabby. When I get tasks I like the day goes by really fast and I like my job but sometimes when I get really boring or complicated tasks I wonder why I went to University at all. I am such a drama queen. Well one thing's for sure my cheque could totally beat the crap out of my IMAX cheque so that's one thing that's definitely keeping me going.

Happy Holidays!

Joyeux Noel

Here are some decorations that we've put up for Christmas this year. There's also a photo of some of my holiday baking.





Here's a picture of a skirt that I made yesterday. It's supposed to look like a cartoonie aquarium.


Here's me and Hank taking a nap. He likes to spoon but its hard not to fall asleep and squash him.
Happy Holidays!

Boo

I was a little down today. I guess it really hit me how much free time I would be losing with this new job. It is bad enough with the commute but I've been asked to stay late a few days this week and it is starting to take its tole on me. I didn't get home until 8:30pm today and it dawned on me that this job is eating away at my free time and my time with Matt. If that wasn't bad enough, I really miss my IMAX people. I just feel kinda useless cause I've been there for three whole weeks and I am still not really trained for anything. I know some things take time but I am used to being independent and I dont have that yet. I was in "class" all week learning policies etc and it really feels like I'm getting brainwashed or something. It's kinda depressing cause I dont have my own space and no one is allowed to personalize there work spaces so it feels very sterile sometimes. I'm sure I'll get used to it but I'm just hoping that this experience will be beneficial in the end and that I didnt make a big mistake by switching jobs.

Merry Christmas

Hey! Last night we had a holiday pot luck with a small group of friends. There was lots of good food and I had a blast. We played old holiday records and played games. I think the funniest part about the night was the fact that I was trying for the whole day to download the fire place dvd. You know the one that they play around holidays of a fireplace. Well I thought it would be nice to have it on the tv while we did other stuff. Well I was telling Kat about how dissapointed I was that I couldn't find it to download and that I was going to go for a hunt to find one and then we played a mean version of secret santa and Matt ended up getting the dvd I was talking about. I laughed so hard. We got to sit in front of the "fire place" after all. It was really enjoyable. Now I am officially in the holiday spirit (the fact that I'm done christmas shopping doesnt hurt either).

Merry early Christmas!

I will be in Fort from Sat Dec 22- 26th 274-6048 if you wanna get together.
