When will it be me??

I'm sorry but this is going to be one of those 'poor me' posts that I so dread. Today I was informed that Cheryl, by virtue of the fact that she handles sanctioning of international tours (which is basically a matter of compiling paperwork and faxing it back and forth between HC and association - a task that takes up about 1/10th of the total amount of work I do processing transfers) is getting to go to Prague in March on a team exhibition tour at what I assume will be an incredible discount price. OK so I am jealous - plain and simple. quidquid. But I am so sick and tired of sitting here in Toronto and going absolutely nowhere. I want to travel...I want to see the world more than anything else. And yes I realize that in 404 days I will have copious amounts of money that will allow me to travel, among other things. But this four year wait has been sheer torture.Whenever I hear about someone else's vacation it just hits a nerve and makes me so depressed and bitter. To make matters worse, within five minutes I was able to recite to Cheryl every place she needs to see and visit when she is there. She looks at me and says 'you should be coming with me since you seem to know so much about the city' - in other words, she has no clue about this amazing destination she is going to nor would she likely ever be going there if this opportunity wasn't presented to her.

Don't get me wrong. I really hope Cheryl has a great time and I wouldn't want to deprive anyone of a such a vacation. I know she will enjoy the city in her own way. I just wish for once I was that person. :-(

I suppose the best I can do for now is enjoy JCS - that's about as good as it is going to get for me over the next year. Well, that and the Rogers Cup.
