So, two months into the new assignment.  Learning lots, but not enjoying it as much as my previous gig.  Missing the thrill of the "hunt"...

Officially a homeowner.  Yay!

Happy Holidays!  Merry Christmas, Santa Claus!

3 months without an update... Must be bored with Xanga. =P

Happenings:
- Moved into new place... the actual move took place over a month and a half, a piece of furniture here and a piece there.
- CNE + Blue Rodeo concert with SQ; had a good time, won a few prizes at "ghostbusters" (no TM).
- Looks like will be changing assignments in Oct

That's all... move along folks!

It's true what they say about writing emails when one's frowning or grinding teeth -- probably a good idea to cool of before sending that email!  Was bit of a hothead today at work, sent off an email that I hadn't realized had a less-than-friendly tone (in my head, it was just a sarcastic/humourous tone).  I was about to fire back a reply to the original email, but I had the good sense to consult my supervisor, since I knew I was annoyed about the turn of events and a little bell was ringing in my head to let me know "this is not a good idea".  It reminds me of a Scrubs episode, where J.D. wished he had someone there to tell him when he's about to make a mistake and in his head, that person turned out to be some opera tenor singer-type person.  "Miiiiistaaaaaaaaaaaake!"  Anyways, my supervisor read my email out loud to me with inflections, and I realized that it had a nasty tone if read a certain way.  Needless to say, I refrained from actually sending the response.

I blame all this on a low tolerance for stupidity and inefficiency...

For the record, I still think Robocop is way better than Iron Man.

I just want to put it on record that I haven't eaten too many chocolate candies that I didn't like, but the Skittles Chocolate Mix is by far one of the grossest "chocolate"-flavoured candies I have ever tasted.  Isn't market research supposed to prevent these products from reaching the general public?!?  I don't even know whether or not my trying out all 4 sub-flavours was self-abuse or bravado.

Not every day that I come across a candy that I actually have to drink water to wash out the taste afterwards.  Yeeech!
