"ever see a man say goodbye to a pair of shoes?"
it looks like it's time to end the record-setting 38 week absence from livejournal. why? procrastinating and bored (from and of packing). i haven't been that combination in a while. though i really don't need to procrastinate because i move in a week and i've done most of the packing. mostly just bored then i guess. (and maybe to surprise kaitlin)
yep, moving in a week, to the big city. i never really thought i'd move to toronto, but it's all come together and it's happening. from now on i can look at every other city in the country as a small town. take that rest of the country.
so i get to move next Saturday, have a day to recover (thankfully) and then start the new job. for those who don't know i will soon be employed by sunlife, clarica, whatever you want to call it. i will again be taking calls from teaming masses of intelligent north americans, but at least this time these people are smart enough to spend money on insurance and not on defective video gaming systems... i guess they could also buy an xbox, but the point is made. and also they are paying me much more, which makes any job better. smaller things include getting my own desk/cubicle, benefits, bonuses, and not being treated like crap. or at least a classier level of crap.
i'm not too worried about the starting of work itself, as i have 4 weeks or so of training. i could do training my whole life. training is just a slowed down version of a high school learning environment. the only downside is the 8:30 start time, especially since i have an hour of subway time to get there. but that is a small price to pay.
yep, snagged from ebay, can't wait til it's delivered
i think packing is done for the day, i need to relax and call it an early night. i've got choice seats at the jay's game tomorrow. free bobblehead of cito gaston here i come!
