(no subject)
its thanksgiving weekend (at least in canada for you american who read this entry) and im working. everyday. its a long weekend for me, long as in i work almost 30 hours not long as in i get 3 days off. in fact im probably going to have to work this coming saturday too. im hoping to have next sunday off but who knows. last week i worked 58 hours and by the end of the day tomorrow ill have 19 hours or so. plus an extra 7.5 hours for my stat holiday (where i work gives everyone 7.5 hours for holidays so if i work for 9 hours ill get paid for 16.5, i know im excited). i admit its not hard work. im doing traffic control. yeah, im one of those annoying bastards holding that damned stop sign and you dont really know if he's just making you stop just for his own personal amusement at controlling your life. heh. and im out with two of the older guys at work including the lab supervisor. he's picked sections of road to test that will have very little traffic. there were a couple of times today when i actually thought my radio had died cause no one had spoken in so long. and the place we're going tomorrow will have ever less traffic, hehe. my supervisor told me to bring a chair. haha, what happens on the road stays on the road as the saying goes.
so im making some nice money this weekend. now the downside
i didnt get to go home. is this bad? im not sure. if i had made an issue of it they couldnt have forced me to work. however they needed someone who wouldnt mind working all three days and frankly i need the money.
but im not at home. im the first person in my family to miss thanksgiving. my older sister skipped christmas day last year but came home on boxing day. she spent christmas with her bf and their daughter (who was like 8 months or something at the time) so im the first one to miss a holiday really. and my sister's daughter has learnt to walk on her own and is now learning to talk since the last time ive seen her. i hear shes an evil little thing so i reallly wanna see her...but the money...i couldnt say no to an easy $300
i have to find a way to save my money though. ive managed to spend almost all of what ive made so far..which is bad.
i went to my aunt's for thanksgiving dinner though. we had chicken. it was me, her and her two kids (girl,7, and boy,5). it was rather fun. they were cuter a few years ago though. the girl is getting pretty annoying. i guess i just dont like 7 year old girls. like for example, she wouldnt pick between the two juices, she liked them both equally. cause heaven forbid she offend one of them...
the boy is just nuts, but thats partially my fault. i helped make them insane, but im ok with that cause i dont live with them :)
and holy long.. dont worry, ill go back and cut it.
but im sitting here and realize im slipping again. as shown by the fact my room is a mess and most my clothes are dirty. and i cant blame work for that, even if i usually clean on weekends and i worked all of this one. i think i need to vent, find something to refocus me (read i need to get laid, hehe). but seriously, ive spent the last couple days out of the city. in rural areas. early in the morning before humans are up and plaguing the land. the air chilling you to the core and fog clinging to the water. today i was along the bay of fundy and i got to watch the tides start to rise. the city is getting to me. getting to me to the point where im i want to open my veins to regain my focus.
but its 10 right now, i get up before 6 so i should brush my dents and get to bed.
later freaks
