As light as a feather

Not to be outdone by someone who will remain unnamed, I must blog!

Today began not so good. I was up super late last night watching the international juniors hockey final, Canada vs USA, so I had to drag myself out of bed this morning after only 4 hours of sleep. Got to my carpool and was planning on napping immediately. Nope, ended up talking about carpools and moving to Saint John for an hour and a half. Turns out the girl I've been riding with is going to start staying down in SJ with her bf a couple days a week. So, I got to work exhausted and carpooless(as of next monday). Also I did Body Combat at Goodlife fitness yesterday and I think I pulled something in my arm from doing all those punches and jabs. I have literally taken 8 ibuprofen so far today! and it's still sore! It was so fun tho. (The teacher kept getting us to picture our opponent and pretend we were really punching and kicking someone...guess who I was picturing...if you can't guess I'll be talking about him about 3 paragraphs from now)

So while grumpily sitting at my computer, extremely distraught at the prospect of moving and having to pay a monthly rent, searching kijiji for cheap SJ bachelor pads, I got a call.

It was a gentleman from one of the carpools I had contacted to join.

*Dramatically hold breath here*

I met with them this afternoon and pending my approval, I am soon to be a member of a 3 man 1 woman carpool with 4 drivers (if i so dain to drive, which i think i will), where I don't have to pay and will only have to drive once a week and twice every 4th week, instead of paying $75 a week. cha CHING! Wow, if im confusing anyone sorry i know i have never mentioned the shite problems ive have with my work carpool, but the short story is that mine disbanded, i didnt have a drive, i was going to have to move to sj, and NOW i dont, ze end. (ps i totally stole 'shite' from sb's blog speak)

Talked to my supervisor today, finally back from his vacation with old man newly dyed black hair (chuckle chuckle) and he gave me a sweet new fresh workload! As odd as it sounds, I can't wait to start working on this stuff. It's really good work, like meat and potatoes kinda good work.

Also, I lent Colin $5 yesterday cuz he forgot his wallet, and today he sent me this:

From: Boyd, Colin
Sent: January 06, 2010 10:44 AM
To: Fraser, Tyler
Subject:


Could I interest you in lunch today, my treat buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudy

And we went, it was so romantic!


HAHAHAHAHAHA, Just kidding. Brendon came too, but Colin did buy me lunch, so at least he paid up. He can be dangerously sweet and funny sometimes, which makes my heart flutter stupidly. Gaaah. Friends. Friends. We are just friends. (Repeat while banging head fruitlessly against desk until brain computes)

31 blogs in 31 days and Crabbe

I just felt like reiterating this fact: I successfully blogged 31 times in 31 days (over the month of December)

Can I get a WHOOP, WHOOP?

This was a goal that I’d made for myself to be an adamant blogger. Turned out it wasn’t too hard, since lots I wrote about was rubbish. BUT it was still lots of fun and I feel a job well done.

(m’escuse on the rhyming)

This month I may try for something more drastic. Not two for each day of the month, but maybe like 1 and a half? Depends on how early I get to work or how bored I am at lunch I suppose…anywho I hope you all enjoyed last months ridiculous blogging, and buckle up for more to come.

Right now I am at work eating Sweet Tart Shockers. Mmmmmm sour then chewy goodness. It’s been a pretty good day today and yesterday. Been lovely weather out. I am sitting at my desk right now in my favorite sneakers with a tshirt on and my window thrown wide open.

And on the subject of me at work, I know what you all are really wondering about: what is up with the Colin situation!

Just kidding, I can see you eye rolling at the screen. I don’t think I am fully over him yet, but I think I’m definitely on my way. I have this thing where if I think it’ll go somewhere then it’s like, impossible for me to get over, and I will just bust my brain thinking about it.

Well, I know that it’s going nowhere fast with Col ever since our one and only talk before the Christmas holiday, so my brain is just automatically getting over it. It’s good too, cuz I am still behaving the same around him and he to me except that I’m like, Blah blah bli blah! I don’t care la la la! It’s a lot more comfortable and healthy and still good fun. (which I need lots of with my desk buddy gone)

I did receive some nice msgs over the holiday from a certain other boy (specifically Josh, who came to the sorority Christmas party with me). He went home to Toronto for the break and should be back anytime. Who knows! Maybe he’ll text me again and we’ll do something this weekend. (I’ll keep you posted ;) )

CRABBE. I agreed to accompany bestie whitney to the ski hill, Crabbe Mountain, this Saturday. We are snowboarding…:| Trouble is I do not know how to snowboard well at all… I may end up wussing out or else go early and get a morning lesson when there is no one else on the hill so I wont embarrass myself. And oh yeah, I don’t even have ski pants. Should probably get on that since I don’t even have any sporty trackies I could wear either. WHY am I not the same size as I was in high school, god dammit!

So, if I abruptly stop blogging it’s cuz I’m skewered somewhere in the wilderness on a tree.

Love love love to you all. Stay tuned for a playlist to be posted as soon as I’m finished with it.

wicked.

so long Desk Buddy

Well ladies and gentlemen; it is indeed a sad Monday. Today is the first day I'm working by myself, without my trusty desk buddy. Last Thursday was his final day working here. (He got himself a sweet job in New Zealand! maybe someday he'll get me a job) The point being, Marc is gone and I am lonely, lonely at work. When I look behind me, there is no mess, no computer screen on, just a big empty chair :( No French man giving me his signature 'creep Tyler out' eyes, or throwing paper clips at the back of my head. No snide or sarcastic remarks. God, I miss him. He was the perfect work brother.

Him sitting in his chair beside me, with the going away present I gave him. Mike & Ikes (so canadian), a picture of our group and a custom made tshirt that says, "I moved here from Canada and they think I'm so, eh?" (timeless simpsons quote)


Surprise shot of him sorting through all his papers, soon to be recycled!


His empty chair: me mentally preparing for his departure.


For lunch we got take-out at The Harbour Diner (which happens to be built into the local gas station), colorfully known by our staff as 'the greasy spoon'. The poutine was...ok. Cheese was good!


By the time I got around to taking a picture Marc had already devoured his spoon burger and fries...


After lunch, we just couldn't get into working mode so I took Marc for his first (and last) visit to the ocean shore (about a 20 minute walk from us).


It is beautiful <3.




Marc pointing at the plant (that cylindrical building is the reactor!)


We took our time down there and walked the long way back. I wish him all the best in life and on his New Zealand adventure! <3 u, M. Pelletier.
