Where to begin this post...
I still work at EA (hopefully a little longer, though my contract is up soon, and despite all evidence to the contrary, I'm nervous). Which is great! I love the people I work with, they're all awesome. I have to work on my confidence, or so I've been told about a hundred times by various people. But there are other things that need working out too... Like my muscles! That's right, I joined the gym. Three days a week, I go in, walk on the tread mill and do a little yoga. It's not a massive, difficult work out, but it makes me feel good.
Living in New West is not always a slice of apple pie. The Mices invade daily. The hot water has been on and off for well over a month, making it difficult to shower. I'm sure the window is still leaking. And carrying the laundry up the block once a week to the laundry mat is a work out all on it's own. I do love the apartment though. It's big, and we still have plenty of room left over. I am disappointed that we can't get Shaw Digital Phone like we were planning (they have to install this box on your wall that hooks up to your phone and your cable AND a power source, which our ancient apartment building can't really support, since we have one plug, one cable outlet and one phone jack and none of them are even remotely near each other). Our little dishwasher is a life saver. I think I would've attempted to strangle Sid by now if we didn't have it. Though it does tend to wreak havoc with our circuit breaker. We finally have a big TV which is awesome. Time to boogie down with my Wii! And a big bed! It's an ikea monstrosity, which I won't go into, but it was a hassle to keep together, which is why we brought in my dad, the fixer.
WoW, the drug of many computer addicts world wide, has seeped back into my life. I finally gave up trying to please everyone else by going to their server and picked one on my own, where I play a Night Elf Hunter and a Human Mage. It's hard work, starting from scratch, but at least on there it means something. Sending money to your alts and powering them through instances isn't really my preferred style.
Needless to say, my life isn't without it's problems. Some of which I'm sure I cause myself. I don't think it's wrong of me to feel frustrated some times, either with people or with things, but as long as I find a calm, rational way to deal with them I should be able to find good, long-lasting solutions. Plus, that also gives me a sense of control over all the things that are going on.
But now I need to be up in about 8 hours to go to work, which is just enough sleep for me. =)
