(no subject)
I just finished training my replacement at Metropolitain. Weird experience. Although I am very very happy to leave this job, there are some people that I'm going to miss. And let's be honest - I will probably never see most of them again, as they only go out on Wednesdays and there is no way in hell you will catch me partying on a weeknight when I have to wake up at 6:30 the next morning and deal with criminals.
Speaking of which, my start date got pushed back to July 9th. Though it means I will be missing out on a paycheque, I am still kind of happy because I feel like I'm just not quite ready yet. I need some time off to relax, reflect, and prepare.
Part of me is super excited to go to Sudbury, but my mom has been pissing me off lately. She is such a nag and is so controlling, and is trying to dictate what we do for the trip. Chris and I are staying at Lynn & Larry's cottage and we were looking forward to at least having the nights to ourselves (wink wink, nudge nudge), but my mom informed me today that Nikki is now staying there with us. It's kind of a complicated story. At the last minute my aunt Pauline decides that she wants to come with us to Sudbury. This lady has committed to so so many trips and then backs out at the last minute. She has really hurt various members of my family on several occasions. My mom, Henry, and Nikki were planning on staying at my Aunt Linda & Uncle Don's place, but my mom made the executive decision that Pauline should take Nikki's spot because she is old. Honestly, it doesn't bother me much because it is a family oriented weekend - the thing that bugs me is that my mom is telling me how it is rather than ask me. As far as I'm concerned, Pauline should be the one to find accommodation for herself. UGH. I'm anticipating the same thing for our wedding. She will probably RSVP with a yes but will be a no show, and we will be out $100.
Anyway, the more I think about it, the more stressed it makes me so I am just going to roll with the punches this weekend. I still have so much to do before we leave in 24 hours! Once I finish work in an hour I have to go visit Michael in the hospital. Then I have to boogie home, do groceries, pack, clean the apartment (I realise this isn't something normal people do before going on vacation, but my dad is coming to feed our animals while we're gone and I know he is going to judge the state of our apartment)... and then I work at 9am tomorrow. When I finish at 2 I have to go home and finish packing up our food and stuff, and we will hopefully be on the road by 5 at the latest.
OK... I'm out... hope everyone has a wonderful Canada Day!
