That same uncle did trap us into one. We thought we were going to Toronto to continue to Niagara Falls. We stayed in Niagara for 30 minutes, stayed in Toronto's churches for 3 days. Turns out listening to music is a sin, so the 5 day trip didn't have any music.

When we returned, I was in tears when they put a 50 cent song on the radio. A song was never that beautiful.
That week was extreme!

Today I packed the last of my belongings for my overseas adventure! Not booking a return ticket is kinda scary in a good way. I hope Asia and New Zealand have internet :D Adios!

Wow! I am jealous.

I just had a job interview that I had to walk 20 mins to on a dirt road in a industrial area... my feet hurt and I'm ready to go back to bed lol.

Hah! I remember talking to my granpa and he was saying how he had this friend who is a priest and is setting up a camp for kids. I was very young at the time, it sounded fun so I was pumped. He was very happy and then asked my parents, but my dad said no, didn't even say why. I remember crying about it and begging because I had never gone to camp and my granpa said it would be free for me, but my dad just said no. Looking back I am quite proud of my dad. :D

I'll never understand...

In the past in different jobs I have had customers fight over the last turkey on Christmas eve....which I was holding at the time, hit me at a fair speed directly in the ribs with a shopping trolley (or a "cart" to our American friends :P) and then not even stop to apologise, swear at me, hang up on me, insist I was calling them liars whenever I disagreed with them, have me on the phone trying to help her with her broadband for quite some time before I realised that a) she wasnt actually doing anything I asked her to do and b) she didn't have a problem to begin with but rather she had been staring at a screensaver for the last 2 hours.

And the customers are always right? Absolute bollocks. Kind of makes me glad I don't have a job.

It's a a pretty lousy day all in all.

I woke up to my friend calling me, telling me that I failed the project I worked on for 2 months, cz it seems the university doesn't know that I turned it in last june.
And just went back from the airport, saying goodbye to my brother who's gone for 9 months to Canada.

Well, it was 50% of a great day for me.... my job at the school rocked as always! I love that place! Got to my night job to be greeted with a whole list of job tasks to do, and then it was on to greet my coworkers for the night.... two incredibly nice but not particularly speedy people... so, as the night went on and I slipped further behind... working on stuff they should have been doing... I wound up staying behind, after my scheduled time to mop up..... not impressed...

But i don't have to go there tomorrow night, so YAY! Only the good job for me tomorrow!

Today I landed in New Zealand! But I have to wait for my boyfriend to get here before we can start sightseeing, so I'm staying at a friend's house and am extremely bored. Also... it is the fucking coldest place I have ever been to. Ever.
