Whoa!

Has it really been that long since my last update? Holy smokes, I'm a lazy one!

Anyways, nothing new NEW to report I guess. I suppose this is the life of a graduate: work work work. Well, I guess stemming from work, there are new things to report.

1. Work has been really good!!! I love my coworker, Andrea, and my boss, Peter. Although sometimes things get really stressed, and don't work out, the environment is totally different from my days at AGAT, where disrespect, yelling, and accusations are a very common occurance. Here, they really apprechiate the work you put in (although sometimes it seems like you didn't really do anything), and the main difference is that they really put the effort and dedication in to do things right, no matter how long it takes. Very, very refreshing. And it makes me feel good that I have a job that I really care about and want to do well in.
2. I've been starting to do Pilates over at the UofC on Tuesdays with Sorp. It's been FUN. Well, lets just say that it really isn't as easy as it looks. Just this week, they did a whole ton of ab work that left me sore and aching to stop. My tummy can only take so much!
3. Andddd...I passed my class!! *WOOT* I applied for graduation a few weeks ago, so I'm just waiting for its reply now...which will probably take awhile.
4. After waiting for a month, my phone is FINALLY in!!! Hooray! We're going to pick it up on Friday, after work. I can't wait!
5. My birthday was an awesome one. A bunch of us went out for dinner, bowling, and some games at my house after (I need those pictures if possible Audrey...). Lets say that UNO Extreme takes wayyyy too long with 10+ people, and with 4 people, it's really fun (we tried!)
6. Me, Darren, Holly and Desmond went up to Edmonton last week to visit Janet and Kelvin. We didn't really do much, but it was such a great time. We all watched the hockey game, and played Pictionary and Cranium, which was the highlight of the night. It's hilarrrrrriiiooussss!
7. I cleaned my room!! Like super-clean. Top to bottom, and even chucked 4 garbage bags full of clothes from my closet. It's clean now....you can see the floor, and even walk in it!!! Impressive eh? I know. Even Diana and Darren were amazed at my cleaning abilities. And what else is impressive? So far, it's kept clean too! I suppose when you're done school, you have time to tidy up.

I think that's it. I'll report more when there is more to report...?

And oh yes........a sppeecccciiiaaallll happy birthday to Johnson and Audrey! *woot* We better be celebrating when Audrey comes back!

So I had the most interesting morning yesterday at work. My shift started from 10-7, and just as I was leaving for work, Mr. Boss calls me from Grande Prairie, where he was for a business trip. He tells me that 1) my coworker didn't come in today, since she was sick and 2) he needed me UPS him some parts for our machine. Well hot damn, I didn't know what these parts looked like. So I hauled ass down to work, and spent 10 mins on the phone with him figuring out which part was what. After I got that figured out, I sped down to UPS, only to find out that the package wouldn't get there till Friday night, which was stupid and pointless since my boss was leaving Fri afternoon for Calgary. Panicked, I called my boss and told him what was going on, and he told me to go down to Grayhound. Grayhound is like where...downtown Calgary? I'm way up North. So I hauled ass back to the lab, spent 20 mins on the phone with FedEx, Grayhound, DHL, and Purolator pleading for a package to arrive in GP by tomorrow. Purolator promised me 1 day arrival, so I drove down to Purolator, only to find out when I get there that they changed their minds and it was 2 day now. After calling my boss (again) and hemming and hawing, he said to send it off anyways, so I lined up (again) and paid for the shipment. And then the lady was like "Oh! It's a day now!!".....I was really like, "I don't care lady..even today would be great".

So that whole escapade took me 2 hrs in the morning of calling, driving, and insane working against the clock. Whoever said that they thrive on stress must be insane.

So that was fun times..heh =P
