So it has been awhile since my last post. My excuse this time is that I really have been busy. I have finally started my real shifts at Rogers. (I started working in Home phone tech support) But stupidly I signed up for some overtime to fill in the ‘cash gaps’ I was experiencing…so I have been working for 7 days straight and I’ve got two more to go before a three day weekend (AND CAT EMPIRE! WOOT!)

So far the work has been good. I haven’t had any REALLY busy days yet which is good because I’m still have a lot to learn. We did a month of training for this position, and I still get some calls that I have no idea what I’m meant to do with them. By the way, never be rude to tech support, we are only there to help you. If you want to bitch and wine at someone, call billing…we don’t care. (end mini rant)

The only other thing I’ll say about work is that I’m still undecided about my hours. I work 4-10 Saturday to Wednesday. I’ve got Thursday and Friday off. So far I’m liking the hours cause it gives me time in the day to get things done (like sleep). But I have become a bit of a night owl because of it, and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

The other reason I have not posted is because of some sad news in my family. My grandpa Bert passed away last Tuesday. It was rather sudden and the family was defiantly in a bit of shock from it. We lost my grandma Lillian barely a month before, and I think we were all still just working with that one when we lost grandpa. It still blows me away how close the dates were that they died. From what I understand though, it is actually very common, especially when the wife dies first.

So Grandpa and Grandma will both be missed, but I’m sure they’re sitting by a fire somewhere drinking their coffee and watching the sun come up over pancake island.

Last night was “nuit blanche” in Toronto. I didn’t really know much about it, except that it was an art festival going all night in Toronto, the bars were open late, and it was going to be pretty crazy. So at 3am Derek, Ian and I headed out for an adventure. We started at the ROM and saw some pretty crazy exhibits out in from of the museum. The coolest being the neon sign saying “hold that thought” hanging from what I think is the coolest church in the city.

From there we headed to Hart house which had a crazy exhibit in the pool in the basement. I was a big projector playing these hypnotizing images onto the wall while really trippy sounds played over a massive sound system. And there were all the candles lit all around the pool. It was really cool, but pretty weird. The best part was when a wasted guy took off his pants and tried to jump in before a lifeguard could stop him. After that, we checked out this thing at the planetarium, they had a huge projector playing on the outside of the dome of the building. And it was just showing this sheep grazing in a field…you had to be there.
From there we walked around queens park and saw this foggy forest thing which was pretty freaky. Then we caught the free TTC shuttle down to queen west to see what was going on. There wasn’t really that much down there so we just did a quick lap then came back up.

There’s more photo’s here: clicky

I got a good one of that pool thing, but it’s on my phone, and I don’t know how to get it off.

ok that’s what happened! Now I gotta go to work! arrgs!
