Actual update...
Well... here's my last week or so, in a nutshell (EDIT: VERY LARGE NUTSHELL):
Thursday: Worked. Went to blaqueinque's b-day shindig at New World Brewery for a little while. Afterwards, headed to the Ale House for Ladies Night with iddietobeyou. Met some of her friends, and had a great time overall. It got pretty cold that night, so I got to wear The Trench, which I shared out on at least one occasion. ;-)
Friday: Work, then picked up sora_sama & hikitsune on the way back to my place. Hung out there for a short bit with irstupidemokid, then we picked up another friend of theirs and hit the Castle. I gothed out (at least, as much as I can), and had a good time. Saw some old friends, like blackrosep and destrie, as well as the seemingly omni-present Eskay. Afterwards, we had an exciting Taco Bell & Porn evening at my place. Everyone crashed over.
Saturday: Woke up, and took sora_sama & hikitsune home. Hung out with irstupidemokid the rest of the day, we went to my parent's place for lunch, then headed back to my place to get ready for my company's Holiday Party. We got all dressed up (you can see the pics in her LJ), and we headed out to Bon Appetit in Dunedin.
The party was great. I work with the coolest bunch of people EVER. Everyone's fairly young (like 30s) and they not only know how to get the work done, they know how to have a good time. We had a White Elephant gift exchange (we should do one of these sometime... it's awesome... comment if you don't know what it is), and I walked away with two holiday gift sets of alcohol (Bacardi Limon and Margaritaville Lime tequila). The CEO of our company was dancing like a white guy with 7 left feet, but was having a great time doing it. He entertained us all.
Afterwards, we went home and took some pics on irstupidemokid's digi-cam. She looked very beautiful in her red dress. Then we crashed.
Sunday, Val went home. I went to a few computer jobs, one of which got cancelled. I made an extra $75, came home and played some WoW for a few hours.
Monday was spent working, relaxing, and playing in a $1 online poker tournament. I came in 385 out of 3500 people, so that's probably the best I've ever performed. AND I love the fact that you can play in these tournaments for $1, and have the possible chance of winning over $700, in you can somehow take 1st place!
Tuesday was spent working and sleeping (fell asleep like 9:30 and didn't get up again until 7:45). Tuesday's workday was a bit stressful, because my boss has been out most of the week due to sickness, which has kinda left me in charge by default. Our servers went down at around 1am, during our normal maintenance window. The problem is, they stayed down until about 9am, which meant that things were BLOWING UP when I got into the office at around 8:35 or so. The other problem is, my boss took another sick day, and didn't call me to tell me, so I wound up looking like a bad guy, leaving the phones uncovered for about 45 minutes. Fortunately, my boss stepped up today and took the blame for us missing that 45 minutes. Anyhow, that was just a rant. I'm done now.
Last night, after work, I went to pick up iddietobeyou, and we went to Gus's Italian restaurant in Northdale. After dinner, we went to Citrus Park's movie theater to catch Rent (2nd time for her, 3rd time for me). Just before we went into the theater, the power went out, which was weird, but came right back on. During the movie, she got steadily more ill with a cold, so she was sniffly and coughy. I felt sad for her. I think she still had a good time, despite getting sick. Took her home, and finally got to sleep around 2:30 myself this morning.
Today's gone by pretty quickly. It'll be the last day in the office without the boss. She should be back tomorrow without issue. Tonight is BBs, and I'll be hanging out with mywimauma beforehand. Tomorrw, I'm having dinner with the parents, and then not much else. Saturday will be spent helping mywimauma move. And Sunday, I've got no real plans, except for picking up a client's computer to be upgraded next week. Otherwise from that, I plan to RELAX!
Anyhow, that's my (not-so) short update on my week. Thanks for keeping up with my life... ;-)
