Broken.

Guess it's just you and me, Lelo.

Sigh of Relief.

I have been so ridiculously busy lately, I have hardly had time for myself.
With my current job at BP and Credit Valley, I just got a new job as well, AND started volunteering with Canadian Blood Services, AND finishing my degree in December, I am wearing myself down. I always get upset with people when they cannot relax and are workaholics, then I realized that I am a certified workaholic.
I cut out Canadian Blood Services, and on the 6th of December I will have completed my undergraduate degree! THEN on December 15th, I will have completed my graduate school application. After that, I will only have 2-3 jobs which will be much more manageable. I need to enjoy my time before I head off to school again, and cannot get stuck in a routine of working non-stop. I do not like thinking on Wednesday that my next day off is NINE days from now (happened last week).
I am going to focus on my grad school application and finishing school.
Everything else should come second.

I really need to book that trip to Thailand. I need to get out of the country for perspective.

Dine and Dash.

Tonight was the first time in 5 1/2 years of serving that I had a legit dine and dash. They left almost an entire pitcher of beer, nachos and pizza. I have so much faith in humanity that I hoped they would return even after an hour of disappearance. I left their food and drinks out just in case. However, they did not return. They did look a little sketchy when they came in, but I'm not a very good judge of character initially. Oh well. It happens. Bless Boston Pizza for being legal and not making me pay - otherwise there would have been $67.00 gone from my pocket.
The rest of the night was good though, so I can't really complain.

Actually, now that I think about it, today was a pretty crap day. I'm glad it's over.
Wish I was going on the wine tour tomorrow.

Movember.

Just want to state that I think Movember is incredibly awesome. I have always been partial to facial hair, but it is for a great cause too.
Some guys are going to look pretty dirty by the end of the mont.
Love it.

Sickkids.

I have always wanted to have the opportunity to afford tickets to the Princess Margaret Cancer Society or Sickkids lottery. I tried to buy $250.00 worth of tickets to Princess Margaret, but they sold out. So, I bought $195.00 worth of tickets to Sickkids. I figured it is a good time to start giving back to charity. I feel a little hypocritical working on a hospital foundation, but not donating myself.
When I compare this amount of money to the amount of money I make in a year, it is pretty terrible how I only donated $195.00.
I am going to make a note and act on it, to donate a little more every year. It's not about winning the prizes - it's about supporting the health care system and furthering knowledge on bigger issues that impact thousands of people every year in Canada.

That's all I am going to say, but if you have some extra money sitting around, don't be selfish if you have the opportunity to help and find a charity that you are passionate about.
Also, don't just say it, act on it.

November. 1

I realized today that November. 1st is my least favorite day of the entire year. The reason for this because when Halloween is over, it automatically becomes Christmas season on November. 1st. I rather dislike this because that means it summer is over, and that fall is over, and that winter is going to be here very soon.
I need to move to California where it is summer all year round.
