WTF?

Who would have thought I'd have the time to post twice in one week nevermind two days in a row? Not me.

I've had a horrible day...it was one of those days where you wish you hadn't bothered getting out of bed. It started with getting up 45 minutes later than intended and coming upstair to my father asking when I get paid next. When I asked him why he responded with "the water bill has gone up 35 bucks since you moved in". Turns out it's gone up 35 bucks over the course of three months, which works out to about 11.50 per month. I said "you have to be kidding me. I give you 200 bucks a month and I hardly eat here. Did you expect that I wouldn't shower or do laundry?" He never responded but I have a feeling I'll be hearing more about it later.

I went to work where I had to steam dresses all day...which I don't mind. Mary Ellen (my boss) is fan-fucking-tastic. I love working with her. She's funny and puts herself right out there...kinda reminds me of myself. I hope I'm like her when I get older. It's like no matter what bad things have happened in her life, she just picks herself up and keeps on trucking.

Then I got the call at 3 pm. I've been waiting for the call to go help my sister with her labour and delivery. The call that actually came in was to tell me that I have a new niece and her name is Madison. Not only did they fail to call me so I could get down to the hospital, they stole the name I may have used if I ever had more kids.
Mary Ellen took me out side for one of her closet case cigarettes because she doesn't smoke, and I'm trying to quit...again. Today it appears the patch was not working. Maybe tomorrow I will have to put it on my forehead.

Craig did a very good job trying to lift my spirits...I know I can be hard to deal with when I get in my moods. Especially when all I can think about is smokes and getting intoxicated. Speaking of which, I may be going out to get drunk tomorrow (ummm since it's 1 am on Aug 10 than means technically tonight). We'll have to wait and see.

Anyhow, I guess thats all I needed to vent about. Probably won't hear much from me for a couple weeks now. Unless I have an equally shitty day in the near future.

Feels so far away...

Well, I'm down to 37 sleeps. Seems like it's so close, but that it's so far at the same time. 37 isn't a whole lot...in fact I think I'd better double check.

Yup it's 37 sleeps....oh fuck.

I've decided I have pretty much everything I need except money. That seems to be disappearing faster than it's coming in...and I'm still in Canada. I have 2 jobs right now, start another one this week and I have an interview on Thursday for a fourth. Go me. Fuck I want to get drunk right now, like you have no idea.

I've decided as a way to save money I'm going to doing whats called couch surfing. Basically thats where people take you into their homes FOR FREE, and they let you crash on their couch (or spare bed if they have one). Some of them even show you around and/or cook for you. I figured it's not only a good way to save some money, but it's a great way to meet new and exciting people and actually learn something about their heritage. Should be good times.

I've been getting such mixed messages about finding work out there that I'm starting to feel like I'm going there to die. I have this Matt guy on my MSN that said "naaa. you just need to find some good people. My house is always open" Awwww, thanks :) He live is Stuttgart, Germany right now but he's an American. So at least he has an idea how it can be over there. Thank God someone has an idea.
