Thursday Evening

I like Thursday evenings because.....
1. Most of the students are leaving the library to get ready for a night of binge drinking and idiotic dancing.
2. It means Friday is almost here and therefore the weekend is almost here.
3. I have more time to blog and play bejeweled while working.

Tonight

LOST is on tonight........YAY!!

I'm still here.....

thought I'd left didn't you?.......well, I've been doing pretty much the same thing I was last time I posted. Working......eating.....sleeping.......playing Xbox 360 games. You wouldn't know I'm approaching 30 years old.......and that's fine with me.

Work is mind numbing so I'm trying to do some research in the hopes of publishing an article. I'm also doing some occupational soul searching. Since my job lacks soul it's not a difficult task to see where other opportunities may offer more but alas, I am in London Ontario and library jobs are sparse here so I'm biding my time and hoping for something more fulfilling before June.

In a perfect world I'd open my own bookstore or something combined with a bookstore and publish a zine and get more tattoos and just be happy - but life isn't ideal and everything costs money.....that of which I do not have.

Such is life.

Do it!

So do you agree with President Bush's plan to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq?

It's beginning to sound a lot like Xmas

Last night I spent an obscene amount of hours (2hrs) in the Wal Mart in the ghetto (east end). We went there because it is the most direct route by transit. I quickly realized that I need a secure bubble within which to move around London (aka car)....It's a scary place sometimes. So we bought a bunch of shit for people and ourselves that neither we nor they need. We attempted to avoid near collisions with carts full of children and cheap toys. We proceeded to the check out where the constant *BEEP* of the check out...(multiplied by about 10 as there were 10 check outs open) signified the victory of big box north america. The constant *BEEP* in my opinion, is the sad reality that is the sound of Xmas (and has been for many years with increasing vulgarity). Let the consumer orgy begin.....

We're here!

We've moved to London and we've unpacked almost all our boxes. Things are slowly coming together in the apartment and the festive bush is out of the box and decorated. Otherwise, things are slow. Work is the same old stuff everyday. I heard today that there were 5 candidates chosen to be interviewed for 2 positions. Obviously I wasn't one of them. Neither were the other new Librarians here currently not working as librarians. I was told that they have been applying elsewhere because they are tired of sitting around here not being librarians. I don't blame them but I purposely came here in an attempt to move my way up....hopefully that is soon (as in the next 6 months). There are more positions that need to be filled so we'll see.

We still don't have a car and London sucks without a car so I'll keep being annoyed at transit and anti-social for who knows how long. I am looking foward to my big break from work. I work until noon on the 22nd and then I'm not back until Jan 2. The university does have its perks....librarian or not.

I initially posted so I could rant about all the people getting their panties in a knot because once again there is an "attack" on Christmas. I was going to go on about how christ cannot be forced upon everyone who recognizes december as a festive month but it's alomost 6pm and I'm running out of steam......

later

Moving

This weekend Myles and I move from Toronto back to London. This past month has gone by pretty fast and has held a lot of changes. Firstly, my new job...which may be my "old" job in the new year if I get a new position (still at the University of course). Secondly, we found Gogi a new home. He bit Myles again so we decided that we just couldn't keep a dog that bites. He is now living in Mississauga....probably not even remembering his old life.

Now a new apartment...yay! I can't wait to live with my hubby again!

Assisting

So I am now in London and started work today. Things went pretty well. I was informed that I had impressed many people with a perfect interview score....hence my new employment. I was pretty surprised and now I am worried I'll disappoint!

Anyway - we don't have our apartment yet....We will definitely have it December 1st...but hopefully a little sooner so my hubby can join me here.

Till then...I will be checking out books like a maniac....er...a lot.
