I feel like I should be writing about something fabulously exciting, though, there has been absolutely no fabulously exciting things happen in my life in the past two weeks. I don't know why, you'd think that fabulously exciting things would happen all the time, wouldn't you?
My boss' father had heart surgery a couple of weeks ago, and didn't recover as quickly as they would have expected, in fact he had a small stroke sometime during the entire process, perhaps during the surgery itself? At any rate, because of that, my boss has not been at work, and I've been there far more often than I normally am. This actually suits me just fine, I feel like an actual employee, instead of someone who shows up every now and then for a couple of hours. However, next week it'll go back to normal and I'll be back to shitty shifts whenever Anna can't work.
However, that'll give me time to do other things. What these other things will be is anyones guess. Maybe I'll do something crazy like...find a real job.
I had an email today from my Aunt with news from my cousin. She's been training to be a Lab Tech, and I guess this week she had a final exam, which granted her her diploma, and next week she needs to take an exam to certify her with the province. I imagine that should go smoothly as well. And after that she starts to train immediately for a full time job at the hospital she's been doing her work term at. Anyway, this is good news for her, so...Yay Joanne! (Well, at least it's fabulously exciting news for someone)
I went to Chapters tonight and wandered around. I am always amazed at how many books they actually have there. I know, I know, but I work in a small store, and generally I'm content to shop there rather than at the big stores. But seriously, the fiction section at the Chapters here is as big, if not bigger, than our entire store. So, when I decide I've read everything worth reading in the store I work in, I go and wander through the fiction section there and find new authors. I found a couple tonight, and if I'd been smart, I'd have written their names down. Oops. Also, I've decided that perhaps I'd like to work there, rather than where I am. I should have asked if they had any openings while I was there, but naturally I didn't think of it then.
Well, that's it. I'll have to make sure to do something worth talking about in the not too distant future. I could have not bothered with this, but...I hate seeing that the last date was in the previous month, it makes me feel guilty. Afterall, I am paying for this.
