Family, food, work

Shop. Shop.

Shop. Shop.

All things considered returning back to a typical work week wasnโ€™t that bad. I guess your body remembersโ€ฆ The job is pretty cool. Hopefully it will turn into something permanent and for real pay. Regardless I have a few other options Iโ€™m pursuing and should hear from this coming week. The current job has great staff and a pretty low key atmosphere which I find pretty important. Weโ€™ll see what happens. It was a busy week after work. I had a two technical tests (build a website) to doโ€ฆ the results seem to have been well received.

It was B.โ€™s birthday Thursday. I got her tickets to Cirque de Soliel. Looks like an exciting show! Saturday we had birthday celebrations for her at her sisters. It was a eat meat feast as her brother in law BBQed some amazing ribs. Mmmm ribs. We also enjoyed a DQ ice cream cake. I think Iโ€™ve eaten half the cake. *smirk*

Today we did a fair bit of shopping. I got a few new shirts and a pair of pants for work. Winners is pretty good for menโ€™s clothing at much more reasonable prices than Sears or the Bay. After Winners we met up with my sister and JP at IKEA in Vaughan. We found a few things for the house. Can you ever leave IKEA empty handed? We had Carusoโ€™s pizza again for dinner. Mmm. Now I sleep. It has been a pretty busy weekend. Not terribly relaxing.

UPDATE:

Not surprisingly U of T is a no go. I figured they were going to hire โ€˜the womanโ€™ not โ€˜the manโ€™. It was pretty apparent to me. Sighโ€ฆ And my other led didnโ€™t return a callโ€ฆ Soโ€ฆ a week I thought was going to have some hope is quickly dropping into the shitter. On a brighter note, congrats to my sister and JP on the acceptance of their offer on a house. Hopefully the rest is smooth sailing.
