slacker update

ok, so i haven't said anything here in a really long time. Well, there's a pretty good reason for that... i have nothing to say! I have a very non-exciting uneventful life. For real. I'm almost like a hermit. Nonetheless, i will briefly let you know what i've been up to in the last little while for those who are interested.

On the weekend of March 11-12 i went to Niagara Falls with a bunch of friends... 10 to be exact. We never did see the falls, but we had lots of fun at the Midway and the casino. Actually, it felt like we spent half of the weekend just trying to get there and get home again. And then we spent much time just hanging out in the hotel room eating, playing cards, watching the hockey game, and swimming in the pool. On the way home we stopped at Ikea and i bought a new desk lamp... w00t!

On St. Patrick's Day i went to Kennedy's in St. Agatha with Connor and a bunch of old friends... that was good times!! ; ) I haven't had that much fun in green since living in Montreal. If you want more details, just ask.

And perhaps the most exciting thing (for me anyways) that has happened recently, is that i finally (after 2.5 years!) completed my co-op work report from when i worked at Hidden Acres Camp! I hadn't even thought about it beforehand, but i felt SO good and i was just beaming after handing it in last Friday and realizing that it was DONE and completely out of the way after so long and i don't have any more homework to worry about for the rest of my entire life!! What a relief.. the burden is gone.

Now it's back to the job search again... i have some catching up to do because i had slowed down pretty significantly with the applications while i was focused on my report for a few weeks. I'm very happy to be finding a lot of posting out in Alberta though (even ones that specify 'entry-level'!), but i'm not too thrilled that i haven't heard back from any of them yet. Anyways.... i keep pressing on! OH, and i also just realized that i now have more time to be working on that online photo album that i've been promising for a while now... stay tuned, kids!

In the meanwhile... my dad got me an interview tomorrow for part-time work at Canadian Tire while i play the waiting game for a real-world job... at least i'm keeping busy and earning some spare change. I've also spent some time teaching myself more HTML... that way when i post online applications and resumes, i can make myself look shnazzy... a cut above (some of) the competition, hehe ; )

Other than that, i've just been watching a bunch of movies with Trisha this week... she's been bed-riden for a while now cause of her swollen knee, so i've been keeping her company when she's bored. So we've seen North Country (eek!), Pride and Prejudice, and Crash (for the second time), not to mention hockey games, Trading Spaces, American Idol, and The Amazing Race.

I also just found out today that my cousin Cheryl, who just got married in January, is pregnant again with their second child... yay! : )

Aight, that's a wrap. Over and out.

Hey there Katie-lady! Hope the job hunt goes well... did you look at the PSC job pages I sent you? Even if they're in Ottawa and Saskatchewan, they definitely seem to be RS and GIS related.

Gotta get to bed. Thinking of setting up a beer buzz soon..... maybe next Friday, after I move (Bryan's old place!)

Ciao, Steve

Ahhh, the leaky basement apartment with a kitchen window looking out onto the creepy cemetery in the backyard... good times! ;) hehe

Yes, I did look at them (and apply to 1 or 2... i forget now)... so many options, but none for me (or so it seems)! :( boo-urns

In the meantime, though, I did get a job as a cashier working at Canadian Tire in Stratford (with my dad) starting Monday and ending on the day i get a real job! I've got plenty of job applications to keep me busy, but i gotta get out of the house and start bringing in some money!
