i got a staple remover when i first started university. it came with my stapler and i was like "oh cool, so that i can remove staples." i often found it to be useless and annoying and i would just rip the pages apart instead. but now that i have an office job and i have [finally] figured how to use the frigging thing, i understand that it ( Read more... )

wow. so busy the past few days. yesterday i was in fort qu'appelle, which was good. i feel like i'm really getting the hang of my job and it feels really good to hear my bosses talk about how competent i am and things like that. it's good to be appreciated ( Read more... )

last night i slept so good. after being up at 6 to go swimming, working to and from work (with a side-trip to luke's work adding on a good 10 minutes to my ride) in -20o weather, eating and hanging out with luke's family, and having a neck headache from swimming, i was conked out before 10:00 ( Read more... )

I was on the road for the past 3 days with no internet access and before that, i was hanging out with jeremy and other wonderful people. real life contact is so great. but i feel "behind" on the internet and i feel like i must get my email and blogging under ( Read more... )

it's so easy to blame not seeing friends and loved ones on the new significant other. however, ditching my friends for a bf is not really my style. then i took a look back at my last couple of weeks and saw how INCREDIBLY ridiculous it has been! i mean, i've been on the road 4 of the last 5 work days. not to mention trying to fit in training and ( Read more... )

the past few days have been a blur. i have been all over the northeast part of the province between north battleford, meadow lake, and p.a. so much travelling makes me all dizzy and confused inside. and trying to catch up with lj is impossible. so i have no idea what's going on with any of you in lj land ( Read more... )
