TGI Friday

Even though this week was broken up into two sections, I have found these last couple of days to be very long. I think my body's internal clock is a bit confused after being off on the 11th. Tuesday was like a Friday and Wednesday like a Sunday - that left me wondering if it was Tuesday or Friday today. Luckily the weekend is just a few hours away!

Yesterday was a relatively quiet day at the office. The flu is still being passed around the floor so many people were off sick. Because I wasn't constantly being interrupted, it was much easier to get through what I needed to do. I ended up leaving the office late (around 5:00pm) and I headed to the bus to get home. The bus was pretty empty and I had a lovely snooze. The rest of my evening was pretty low-key. I watch the Sens-Philly game which, unfortunately, did not go well at all for Ottawa. I also watched Survivor. I wasn't convinced that I'd enjoy this season but I actually found myself cheering at the TV when Russell found his second immunity idol (both were found without a single clue...and this latest one was found without having been told that another idol was in play). He is definitely my favourite Survivor this season and possibly the most entertaining Survivor yet!

Keeping up with my plan to be more committed to my objectives lately, I updated my CV today and sent it along with a cover letter to someone I will be meeting with next week. There may be a new opportunity for me with another department. Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!

So, plans for the weekend...I actually don't really have any. It's kind of a nice change. My friends Mark and Michelle are having a party at their place. But, their house is pretty far off the transitway and, since I'm with out a car, it might be a little difficult for me to get home. The buses stop pretty early so I end up having to either walk home from Fallowfield Station (takes about 75 minutes) or hope that I can catch a cab home from Fallowfield. I'm not a big fan of taking the bus home with all of the drunk children and I really hate paying for a cab when I've already paid for my express monthly bus pass. Anyway, instead of the 4 hours of busing, I might just take the night off and stay home. Biggie hasn't been feeling well so it might be a good idea to stick around for him just in case he needs to head to the vet.

If I do stay home, I might try to start watching Lost. A friend of mine has recently started to watch it from the beginning and she's really enjoying it. She's almost finished 3 of the 5 seasons. Also, one of the guys at work is insisting that I start to watch. In fact, he'd like me to have all 5 seasons finished by January 20th when the 6th season starts. If I can get really into it, I might just be able to. But, there seems to be so much TV these days that it's really hard to keep up with everything that's on...plus work...plus maintain at least a little bit of a social life.

I also believe that I'll be getting together with my Mom this weekend. Her and a friend bought some passes to see some special show homes. I think they're out right now looking at some of the properties but, since her friend has to work this weekend, I'll be taking over the 2nd pass and looking at some of the homes. It sounds pretty interesting. There's nothing like a showhome to inspire your own redecorating.

Anyway, it's after 4:30 and I'm usually out of here by 4 so I'm going to wrap this up for now.

TGIF!
