Looking Forward

| I guess I should just get all my wingeing over with all in one go, eh? It’s too friggin’ hot and humid out, this week seems to have lasted a month, the train’s always bloody late, it’s always bloody packed with tourists, work is just too damned hectic and is about to over take me, I actually dislike this job quite a lot. That’s it, I guess. It’s good to write shit like that down. It isn’t nearly as bad as it feels sometimes. Actually, the train station was a disaster area tonight because there was a fire somewhere in Union Station. I think it was a GO train or something that burned down. Anyway, that completely backed up all the schedules for all rail lines. There were line-ups that went on forever. Sheer chaos. Today was actually a good day at work. I spent most of the day tucked away in a boardroom with some very nice people interviewing young people for a clerk job in our place. I wouldn’t want to be doing that kind of work all the time but I really enjoyed just getting away from the chaos. It was fun to hear the career aspirations of young wide-eyed people who’re just facing their futures. It’s quite encouraging, actually. There’s so much enthusiasm and optimism. I love that. I had a meeting with my compadres yesterday to plan out the trip to South America. The folks down there are buying the gear and I’ll re-emburse them when I get there. It’ll work out to about $15,000 US dollars. I’ve got to figure out how I’ll take it down there. I do love spending money, though. And I’m really looking forward to this trip for some reason. Maybe just to get away from the madness. (no, not the Maddness, the madness) Anyway, tomorrow’s Friday. It’s shaping up to be a crazy day but still, it’s followed by two days where I don’t have to think of work. Gawd I’m exhausted. Arc |
